rose, no, i don't think he mentioned it... leator said it was the best gig he's ever been to, so like you say "i won't wash my hands again" when you touch for example someone famous, he says it about his eyes cause he saw the gig with them. and no, mika's head didn't touch the ceiling... but i think he couldn't have done the "freddie" hands up thing during GK. btw, damn, i totally forgot to ask him about other countries, like i had promised! someone wanted to know bout new zealand and suzie about other european countries, and i forgot. sorry girls... i couldn't think clearly anymore after the gig, it wasn't the only thing i forgot, if that helps you. i still haven't decided whether this was the best mika gig i've been to, probably yes, but not able to make any decisions tonight, lol! off to bed now, it's so late and i have to get up in 5 hours and go to work, pfft...

damn, there's us... thanx for posting the link noa!

ok quickly before i go to sleep, here's one of my videos, from which you get a pretty good idea how small this gig was - no zoom! it's mika talking some german at the beginning of the gig. the first sentence he says is "it's been a while since we've played such a club show". after that he talks english again. and sorry for making so many mistakes in my first report post, no wonder you understood me wrong... was just v. quick and i'm currently not able to think properly, lol! btw, a quote from leator, he said after the gig "i'll never wash my eyes again", this made us all LOL! but expresses our feelings very well.

nah, 12 in front row! was still really small though, it felt like the personal living room gig. waiting for the train home now. lol there were so many funny bits during the gig, got most of them on video. like mika saying that he wants to take his jacket off cause its hot... but his shirt was all sweaty so he said he wouldn't take the jacket off. and then someone said he should take the shirt off too and this started a bit of a discussion between mika and the fans, whether he should take his shirt off or not, ending with him showing us the middle finger (in a joking way of course), lol! got that on video i think. oh and he didn't take his shirt off. damn.

damn, didn't have mobile connection in the club and now we're in the hard rock cafe (8 from mfc+dmfc) i don't get a connection either, this sucks! am standing at the entrance now for a short moment to post the news. gig was fantastic, smallest mika gig there ever was i think - certainly the smallest i've been to! his keyboard was just standing 1m away from us. all of mfc+dmfc were front row, only about 12 people, stage was similar to berlin just 2 steps up - just much smaller. mika was on fire, he joked a lot, tried to speak german as much as possible, and at the beginning of WAG he stole our balloon chain (see my twitpic from this afternoon), waved it around, draped it over saranayde and then over the microphone stand. :-) gig lasted bit more than 1 hour. after he came out to sign, we were at end of queue and gave him the songs for sorrow book of the german mfc we had made for him. he absolutely loved it and wanted a 2nd copy for his sister. :-) and when we left, john said to us "cheers guys, without you there's no fun". wow we're all so happy now. will write a proper report tomorrow, am not able yet to find the right words for this experience. but will post a pic or 2 on twitpic now.

sasje, leator, me and 26 golden balloons arrived at atomic cafe at abou 2:45; at about 3:00 john and band arrived, soundcheck now. we already heard rain and dr john from inside. i was at central station to buy me a new contact lense (as mine broke this morning) while they arrived. waiting for john to come out again now, so we can give him the list. pic of sasje+me and some of the balloons: http://twitpic.com/hl25c we are golden!

huge moths. love his face expression on this one! thanx for posting the pix!

poor guy had moths under his astronaut suit!

ah, so no martian penguin? damn. but sounds like he still has the make up of yesterday in his face, lol!

from the bestival thread: sounds like he has that stuff STILL in his face! will let you know whether it's still there tomorrow in munich...

:wub2: thanx for those! lol, i love it how your camera keeps adding even more glitter to the picture than there already is! guess that's reflections from the silver foil on stage... don't you ever dare NOT being front row, i love your pix and videos!

tiibet, don't worry about it so much... i don't think they wanna judge you or anyone else for being there and being in front row at that gig, some of those who have this feeling were front row themselves. i understand you that if so many people go on about it the way they do, it's hard not to feel judged for being front row and fully enjoying it. though i think they're just expressing their own feelings about it. i understood it wrong at first too what they wanted to say with it, and if i'd been there i'd also have been front row and probably wouldn't feel it was wrong in any way.

tiibet, as always your pix are amazing! love his cheeky grin on the 2nd one!

oh yes, totally agree! though maybe he only did because me and many of the others who are going were bothering him with tweets about it for the last 2-3 days, and he just had enough of that.

but then, it also was the type of gig for drag queens on stage. whatever, there were a lot of "good things" at last nights' show, something different for everyone.

maybe the "something good" was also the glitter make up... wonder how long it took until they had it ready. and until he had scratched it out of his face again after the gig. must've been quite sticky when it stayed on in spite of all the sweat.

drag queens on stage during lollipop i think. though for me the better surprise was that he was topless throughout the whole show.

as many are saying that happy ending was so special yesterday, does anyone have a video of it?

yes... well i think he will if he can. there's still the possibility of course that the radio ppl wanna have their own way and tell him "no way, it's full to the last place". but just the fact that he wants to try makes me

i think he might be bored during that car trip to bestival, if he's counting stones, lol!

oh god finally got an answer from mika on twitter, am so happy now! i asked him whether he could do something for the 8 ppl who are coming to munich without having tickets, he answered

OMG OMG OMG i got an answer of him on twitter, asked him about tickets for the 8 people who are coming, he answered "yes will try to sort out" oh god i love him!

hm, maybe... i wasn't there, so i guess you can tell better than me, but i think there are two possibilities - a) that it was a place he had been to quite often like you said or b) just the fact that it was a gay club. i'm not so sure that the won't do similar things at other gay clubs in the future.

guess he won't be open about having a relationship, well certainly not in a way that it's in the press - he said that in an interview, that if he had a relationship, he'd protect it, there wouldn't be things like homestories. but still, for those who can read them, there are signs as well.

yes, a lot! thanx for explaining, i interpreted it wrong.
