Hi everyone! I don't post here much but read quite often. I just wanted to say that the concert was absolutely AMAZING better than I ever imagined. I can't believe how beautiful and talented Mika is I was there with my friend who is not a big fan (she didn't even like his music very much before the concert). However after the concert she admitted that he was very very good. She was such a good sport and I love her to death for waiting with me after the concert. I knew that he always comes out to see the fans after the concert but I didn't know where to go. I asked one of the security guards if Mika is coming out to sign autographs... he said no. Well, I didn't give up I saw someone with an umbrella that I had seen pics of before (thanks Suzanne!) and saw her go out the door to the side of the building. So off we went. After waiting for what seemed like forever, the security guy had us form a single file line and we were pretty much in the front of the line! Well, as you all know they changed the direction of it and we ended up being in the end. Oh well, no biggie. Then I saw Mika walking right past us (I don't think anyone else recognized him as he was surrounded by a couple of guys and was wearing his hood) and disappear behind the bus. While he was coming down the line towards us, I noticed his mom and sister were standing just a couple of feet away from us. I told my friend who they were and everyone around us was like: REALLY??!! How do you know?! lol (I could tell that everyone around us were the kind of fans that knew his music and thought he was cute but not much else about him.) Anyways, when it was our turn, he signed my CD insert, I told him what a great concert it was and he gave me a hug And then it was all over I am really sad that I didn't have a digital camera. I have a bigger one at home but didn't want to risk it (it's very noticeable, I can't hide it in a purse) so I bought a disposable camera. It took crappy pics of the concert but I did get one of him up close that turned out ok. I am so glad I had a chance to see him (and meet him) - it was a wonderful wonderful night.

aude, this is beautiful! I, too, missed out on the scrapbook making and would love to be a part of making his birthday present!

Hello! I am from BC as well - New Westminster. I discovered Mika just recently and absolutely love his music. I can't wait to see him live - maybe we are lucky enough and he will come to Vancouver (or Seattle or anywhere else close enough) and we can see him live. Great to "meet" you!
