there! just what i said! can't see myself in the pic, but i'm underneath that snow! but looking at that smile, i forgive him everything!

he wished us merry christmas, and there were some more bits of talking, but don't remember much of it now, hope the others of DMFC remember more, will let you know about it if they don't post it here themselves. at that time it was only 8 of DMFC left there, except for the radio station ppl. mika was in a relaxed mood and ready to chat with us a bit i think, but we couldn't think of much to say, anyway my head was quite empty (or too filled with all the impressions of the evening), and we didn't want to bother him for long, because he had already taken so much time for meeting everyone there, and because the radio station ppl had said before, that he was in a hurry... but probably that was just because he wanted to get finished with the signing, i'm actually not even sure whether he knew this singing would happen, imo he looked a bit like "oh damn!" when after the q+a she said that now everyone would get autographs. i had posted on the german forum yesterday whether someone could bring fake snow, and kanni did... plus she had drawn some pictures for the lyrics, in case he forgot them again ... so she was holding up the pictures and i was throwing fake snow in the crowd every time for "let it snow, let it snow, let it snow" at first i just let it fall down but mika motioned to me to throw it upwards and stupid me did and it went all over ME, arrgh! well the plan was to throw it behind me but didn't go like planned. so i was covered in that smelly fake snow that now sticks everywhere, arrgh! and looks like dandruff in my hair. at the end of the song, mika wanted to have the bag, took a whole handful snow out of it and threw it right over me. then he took more to throw over martin... and i took revenge and threw some in mika's direction too (hadn't done before because he was behind the keyboard and might not have been good for the keyboard...). so at least he got a LITTLE bit of snow-dandruff as well, hehe. then the q+a, there were several ppl asking questions and the radio presenter also had some, and mika gave long answers to each question, so i just asked my own question (about sightseeing in germany). there were some funny bits... about his twitter xmas deko pic, he said that some 13 year old boy on twitter wrote that he hated it and mika was quite annoyed by that and said that he wanted to write him back sth like "you little brat!" and block him, but didn't, because then he (mika) would've been blamed for it - was quite funny, i should have it on video (hopefully!) i couldn't find my list with questions anymore so the sightseeing one was the only i could remember, didn't even think about the present thing. sorry... i just wanted to have a list of questions in case there wouldn't be enough other questions from the crowd (but no need to worry at all, there were. ) at one point the dog came on stage and they said mika had rehearsed a little trick with him - it would've been hi-fiving mika, but first he did it wrong (obviously you had to hold the hand horizontal with the palm to the top, and mika did it, well, like you'd hi-five someone), and when they finally told him how to do it right, the dog had enough and just ran away... so funny, lol! poor mika though, he tried again and again and it didn't work!

no time to read the thread, my battery won't last all the 4 hours i still have to wait here for my train, and idk if mcdonalds lets me use their power plug, lol! so seems like you got some pix+radio stuff already? we were told it was 120 ppl, so yes, really small... and felt so special, with the q&a and all, more like a living room gig than anything else before... more living room, less gig - i love it how every time i see him it's different and special in its very own way. setlist was like the secret gig in tokyo i think, including let it snow... he was joking around between songs, and the q+a was so funny too - got it all on video. well until my (first) card was full, so in between i missed a bit, don't know yet how much, hope it wasn't too much and hope someone else filmed the bit i missed. then he signed stuff for everyone who was there, was getting a bit much as many got more than one autograph (well that's cause the radio station told the winners they should bring thingS to sign... ), and mika took lots of time drawing hearts and stuff and writing "to *name*" for everyone. during the signing i asked whether we could get a DMFC group pic when he left and still had time then, and he said ok... the radio station was fab, they let us stay inside so we wouldn't have to wait in the cold, and mika came downstairs again to do some interviews (they'll be on german tv channels sat1 and rtl tomorrow at 17:00/18:00, and one will be on the website of the radio station), so we could just stand there and watch him do the interviews. then he went upstairs again and there spent about 10 minutes playing with that dog and fluffing through its hair (and i thought I was obsessed with doing that, LOL! ) - was fab to see him so relaxed and happy! then he was gone for another 10 minutes or so and when he came downstairs to leave, he took a pic with us in front of the xmas tree. i told him thanx for everything, and said hi from all on mfc - and he giggled and said with an amazed look on his face that mfc had so many members now and that's fantastic (he said a number, as i can see it's 15.000, but don't remember whether that was the number he said... probably yes but i really can't remember ). ok sending post now, will write more in next post.

seems like there'll be an interview with mika on radio ffn soon - on the radio they said at 4, but he has soundcheck now. could someone listen+record pls? link see one of my other posts

nah violet, don't spread rumours here, it surely won't be just 20 ppl but 100 like they said on the radio website. seriously, i wanted to ask him that question about the tokyo present anyway! so we still don't know what it was? i thought bluesky had mentioned seeing a pic of it or something... i'd just ask whether he can tell us what it was, and if he says no, i'd just ask another question instead. but he can't make us all curious by tweeting about it and then not tell more, lol! he probably just thought it wasn't important enough to tweet more about it, or didn't want to make other fans jealous by posting a pic. damn, i woke up way too early!

btw, i don't know how long this Q&A thing will go, and how many questions the others who are there have... but just in case, i wanna take a list of questions with me if everyone else is too shy to ask anything... so if you have any questions (that won't embarrass me when i'm asking them, lol! ), let me know, i'll put them on the list. might be on the radio, so i guess it should preferably be questions that could be interesting to the listeners. off to bed now, but will have my mobile internet with me tomorrow, to keep you up to date.

so hope he sings it tomorrow in hanover! wouldn't bet on it though, the gig is only 30 minutes, so he won't be able to sing many songs anyway. :rolls_eyes: but then, he did it at the secret gig in tokyo, and i think that wasn't much longer either. *still hopes*

thanx everyone! 9 DMFC members going now, 2 more who want to go (they only heard about it today), leator will try to ask the radio station for more tix tomorrow for them. i just saw some more pix of those "meet your star" events... the one i had posted in this thread was sunrise avenue, and this was the one with the most people! for spandau ballet they only had about 20 ppl or so, and also for other stars ppl were just standing at the back and not at the stage... this radio station really should work on their way of promoting those events i think... well, as not everyone has won, i hope they found enough ppl for mika - although i generally wouldn't mind getting an exclusive DMFC gig , it'd be quite sad if this place wasn't full to the brim! hope those in hannover are more into it than those in baden-baden... btw, i don't know whether any of that will be live on the radio, but in case you wanna check, you can listen to the radio station here: http://www.ffn.de/mediathek/webradio.html. guess i'll find out more tomorrow when i'm there, will let you know on twitter or here. mika will come on stage somewhat between 5 and 6 pm german time. from what leator told me, 30 minutes gig, then Q&A, then signing. they'll surely upload photos on this site: http://www.ffn.de/mediathek/bilder-von-stars-bei-ffn.html - don't know how fast they are, but there'll be pix on there sooner or later. they often have more than 100 pix of an event, so there'll be a lot to see.

leator managed to organize 2x2 tickets for us! unfortunately he himself can't afford the travelling, we'll miss him there! but now kanni and graciosa can go as well, and seems like someone else from DMFC won too, so we'll probably have enough tickets for everyone who wanted to go! marion, i don't know about the band, will try to ask them on twitter whether they'll be there. that radio station ppl are actually READING the reasons we write them, and seem to invite those who are the craziest fans, that's fab, finally a radio station who understands that such a gig is much more fun if real fans are there! or maybe they just listened to me, because that's exactly what i wrote them in my reason, including the mika quote "50% is with us, the other 50% is with YOU!"

ok train booked. just noticed that i totally forgot to have breakfast!

thanx! and yes, we can take pix+vids. silke has won too, she wasn't on the forums much recently but she got to hear about it because patricia called her. kanni and graciosa want to come as well, even without tickets, hope they'll get in as well (leator is currently trying to organize sth with the radio station) - so yay, we're gonna rock da house! heard now that mika will perform only for 30 minutes ... but well, still fab, because aferwards there's a Q+A and signing, so the time altogether will probably be the same like a normal gig.

yup, or a job. well i'm glad that at least in ONE part of my life i'm really lucky.

YESSSSS, I won!!! this morning i woke up with a headache, not feeling well at all, but since i got the call from the radio station, headache is gone and i'm jumping around in my flat, squeaking like a pig on drugs, LOL! and obviously they have some meet+greet thingie included in this, she told me to bring stuff to sign and think of some questions i want to ask mika. oh god, i just feel like now! *goes booking train ticket*

so we got from drag queens to heights and now to what kind of guys we like... think it's time for a new tweet or blog from mika to give us sth on-topic to talk about again! but at least we're getting funny pix from the band! http://twitpic.com/sjbh2

oh god, that reminds me he might sing let it snow! ok i think i HAVE to go! very true, those tiny gigs in so many countries, that's just fab! edit: oh god, i just booked a train ticket for hannover-munich, though i haven't even decided whether to go for sure! because until midnight it's still cheap - but for the way munich-hannover it's already too late to get a cheap train ticket, would've had to book yesterday - and as THAT is the problem, i still have time to decide now and sleep over the decision, lol! do i sound like i'm mad? yes? good, cause that's how i feel! guess that glass of wine i had earlier this evening wasn't such a good idea.

well, i'm thin and tall and i also like thin and tall (ok VERY thin and VERY tall compared to me )... so guess you can't say that generally. it was in this popmate thing on the newnownext poplab special.

that's probably the reason why mika enjoys being on stage, even basketball players are smaller then!

in the terms&conditions on the website it only says you have to be over 14 to enter, nothing about a country. but the form on the website is for german addresses, so don't know if they'll accept entries from other countries. thanx everyone for wishing us good luck. not many have applied yet... graciosa, me, and 2 more from dmfc. for most, it's too short notice and/or too far away on a school-/workday. what i've seen now, they've extended the closing date for the competition to wednesday 8 am! now great, if they only tell me then whether i've won, it'll be quite a hurry to get there! i'm still wondering whether to go also without tickets and rely on the radio station being nice and letting me in - it worked for all of us in baden-baden, but that insecurity until last minute was killing me, not sure if i want that again! plus, getting there would cost me 10x as much as for baden-baden. pfft!

only just heard of this, it's already this wednesday! 9.12., 5pm at the radio ffn studios. mika is doing another exclusive radio gig in germany, this time in hannover. it's called "meet your star", tickets can only be won, and it says on the website that it's for 100 ppl only. tickets can be won on this website: http://www.ffn.de/aktuell/mika.html - you have to enter your address, phone number, birthdate, e-mail-address and reason why you want to meet mika. closing date is tomorrow (8.12.) at noon. here are some pix of a previous radio ffn "meet your star" gig: http://www.ffn.de/mediathek/bilder-von-stars-bei-ffn/galerie/meet-your-star-mit-sunrise-avenue/dateien/-1384d7811f.html#c5242 aargh, really hope i'll win tickets! it's not exactly cheap to go there from munich, quite the other end of germany... but i'd love to see another one of those small exclusive gigs! i've written in my reason that the gigs are much better when some real fans are there, so hope they'll listen to me.

yup, although imo liking drag queens doesn't go too well with his opinions about short ppl vs. tall ppl. anyway, I have never seen a drag queen that wasn't quite tall.

sure, if we share expenses?

well, buy a plastic tree and you can leave it there the whole year.

hey, i could get a flight to blackpool for only 2.000 euro! and with that, i'd arrive tomorrow morning. might get a private jet for that money as well though.

If a song could get me you - Marit Larsen love that song!
