Greetings fellow Mikamites!
ONE YEAR! It feels like yesterday, but at the same time feels so long ago!
I remember I couldn't make up my mind what time to get to the venue cos I had an experience a month beforehand where I arrived to line up for a concert in the morning and there were already a heap of people who had slept out the night before. I knew that wouldn't be the case for Mika but I thought I'd play it safe.
I arrived to the venue at 8.30am hoping no one would be there, and I got my wish! I was alone up until 3pm-ish when Casey got there. I beleive Liz, Teegs, Bec also arrived around then. Oh yeah and Mouselle also arrived before that I saw her walk past me when I was on the phone to my friend complaining how I couldn't go to the toilet incase other people arrived (not realising there were toilets just around the corner). That alone was an experience in itself, ofcourse I'd never go that early again. But at least it's something that can go on my resume..
I cannot thank Bec enough for giving me a call when Mika was about to arrive. She had gotten my number just incase something like that happened, which I didn't think WOULD actually happen.
It was really nice to meeting yous there (and having various events throughout the year) and before that I was too scared of MFC cos it was so big and alot was going on so I stuck to the MikaSounds forum. But yous told me to go the Aussie thread and so I did! Also special mention to Mouselle for the flashing heart and Liz for the MFC badge!
Oh and EXTRA special mention to Liz, again, for framing me by asking me to take a picture of Mika's phone charms with her camera in his back pocket.
That was the best concert experience EVER for me. Met awesome people, met the artist before the show and got photos and cd cover signed and tshirt signed, was front row (and loving the fact we were right up to the stage with no barricade) for the most enjoyable concert I've ever been to and also getting the setlist after the show was done.
Unfortunately I had no idea about the whole backstage thing so I left after the show was over. But I can't complain it was a freakin' awesome day!
By the way, what happened to PamRam? HELLO PAMRAM.. wherever you are! She seemed to disppear towards the end of last year.
A WHOLE YEAR.. wow!
So from me to Rainbow Sky, Soangel, nico_collard, Happikali, Mouselle, Jolene and the ever-elusive PamRam.. HAPPY MIKAVERSARY!
