Ok, I finally made it back after a grueling and exhausted day at work. Of course I had Mika going through my head all day and it was torture that I couldn't even look through all my pictures until just a little while ago. I took nearly 200! Not all of them are clear, it's hard to capture him jumping around in low light without the flash.

To add to a post above,I was right next to Kelsey up front and we also got there very early and were at the beginning of the line before we decided to wait in the lounge.

There was a lot of pushing near the start of the concert. I knew that would happen and was prepared, Not too bad but you had to hold your ground or someone would weasel in. Somebody even reached in and grabbed the front rail between my husband and I and tried to push up front in between us!! uh-uh...wasn't gonna happen!!!!

This was my first time seeing Mika live and I was not dissapointed. He puts on such a fantastic show and full of energy.

When he came out at the end for that extra bow, he just stood there for a moment, grinning and you could just see him taking in the crowd and absorbing all the cheering for him. He looked so appreciative of his fans. I will never forget that look on his face, contentment, satisfaction, gracious, like this was the moment he works for, he waits for.

I'm gonna post a couple of pics in this message. If it doesn't work, or you want to see more of them, I have put some up on myspace and you can see them bigger there.

I put up some of the best. I have more and will put more up tomorrow, right now I am seriously lacking in sleep.

From front row center

I love this one with confetti in his hair, such a cute smile!

Another of my favorites...just peeking into my camera..hahaha!

Ahem..... this one needs no words...

AMAZING!!!!

Is all I can say!

This had to be the BEST concert experience I have EVER had, and I have been to many many concerts in my life.

I was lucky enough to get front and center and got some fantastic pics. It was SO much fun at the end, I accidentally bopped Mika right in the face with one of the big balls…oooops, but he didn’t miss a beat. Then he got me back with one and laughed. That was my big Mika interaction.

I had a cold coming on but forgot all about it while I was there. Then I got home at 2 am and then had to go to work today. It was great to meet those of you that I was able to.

Check back later once I get home and I’ll post some of the best pics. I haven’t even had a chance to look through all of them myself yet!

......and even MORE flutterbys after seeing him on Leno!!!!!

And now I'm supposed to go to sleep??????

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Tomorrow.....Tomorrow!!!!!!

I am getting Flutterbys in my tummy! LOL

Lilmot...I'll be losing my Mika-virginity too!!!!

DH is feeling a bit under the weather, so I am hoping he feels well enough to wait in line with me. If not, I guess I'll take what I get. Just as long as I get to see the show, I'll be thrilled!

Wow beautiful! Love it!

How did you do it?

There is a clear sticky iron-able plastic you get that is made to work with iron on rhinestones. Print your design mirror image, place it under your design and it is a guide to place the rhinestones.

It helps that I used to work for a company that made the iron ons. You'd be AMAZED at what people will request to be put into rhinestones!! LOL!

I promised to post it when it was finished so here goes.....

I really like how it turned out!

Thanks for all the suggestions!

OK, I got my shirt finished!!

It's a long sleeve V neck stretch T.

I really like how it turned out....

I'm hoping to arrive no later than 4:30, earlier if I have any say in it. We are driving fro the Portland OR area so it;s a few hours drive. I am at the mercy of my DH, I am thankful he is coming, he isn't overly fond of crowds or tight spaces. He does like Mika though, he will often yell out "MIKA" before I do when he hears his music!

Any speculations on what time people will start lining up?

FOUR DAYS LEFT!!!

I can't wait. I've been reading all the reviews and am getting really excited.

I'm glad it's more of an "intimate" setting. just me and 1.699 of my closest freinds!! Ha ha ha, If by chance I don't get there soon enough to get close to the front, then the view shouldn't be too bad.

I am making a shirt that says BIG GIRL in rhinestones, cuz I am one!!

Ok, that gets the wheels turning a little bit.

Keep 'em coming!

I'll post a photo of the shirt when I get it finished.

Thanks for the ideas

I need some suggestions for a fun catchy phrase. I am having "writers block"

I want to make a rhinestone T to wear to the concert. I 'd like to put something a little more creative than just "MIKA" on the front, but alas...I am not feeling that creative.

Any ideas? Probably no more than 4 words will fit to still be legible.

I'll be watching for the umbrella!

I swwapped for that day off from work so I can get there earlier in the day and DH is requesting it off. I'm getting excited!

OOOOOPS!! SO EXCITED that I double posted. Sorry!

Whooo Hoooo!

I just got my Seattle Tix. It took a while to convince my Hubby to drive 3 hrs from the Portland area on Valentines day, but I told him this would be the best Valentines gift!!

Anyone see this tonight?

While they were showing clips of the acts they turned away, they were playing grace kelly, especially the "why don't you like me" parts.

I also heard it on a commorcial last night for a new movie but the name of it escapes me.

It's a llittle snippet here an there but exposure is good.

I got my Cd at Target, Had DH pick it up for me and he had to ask for help because they had put it in the new release CHILDREN's section! Geesh!

I have not heard him on the radio at all. I think Radio play and promotion all depends on his people.

Hoping to have a US tour that hits the Northwest!

Thanks everyone, I do kinda like it here. And the sunsets are gorgeous. There is lots of boating here in the warm weather. It's a great place to work and the deer in our community are tame enough to eat from your hand.

I live very close to Mount St. Helens and can see it from our home. I work at the lake that is formed by the volcano's runoff. Here are pics of both mountain and lake and our yard in the snow last month!

Welcome!

I am sure you are in good company age wise.

I think his music is somrthing that spans the generations. Makes the more "mature" fans feel young again! LOL!

Did anyone notice when Diane Sawyer was introducing him, how she got toungue tied and all Frazzled?

I think Mika may have cast his spell on her!

Thanks for all the hellos and great welcome!

Hello fellow Washingtonian Mika fan!

I'm new to here and happy to see some other fans in the area.

Hello from a fellow Washingtonian and newfound Mika fan!

I'm a bout 2.5 hours south of you just past Longview.

Now we need to find some more fans in our NW area!

OMG!

My hubby just called me on the way home and I had asked hime to pick up the CD.

He said he had to ask for help finding it and then asked my why I wanted a littel kid's CD.

He said that they had it displayed in the 6 and under section!

Must be the cover art and word cartoon in the title.

I hope anyone else that wants it asks

I just may make aphone call to the store....

Wow!

I just saw Mika on the late show for the first time last night and I can see that I am about to become hooked!

I was not even really watching the show, and I heard this VOICE!! I had to stop and take notice. I have been surfing for info on him since and thus...found all of you here.

I'm listening to the CD on AOL music right now and love every song and have asked my husband to pick up the CD for me on the way home. I've sent a link about him to my friends, he is too good not to share. My new guilty pleasure.

I am also a big fan of Clay Aiken and have travelled many places to see him live and can see me doing so for Mika as well.

Nice to meet you all! I'll be checking in regularly for all the info I can get!
