BonjourMika1990

It's incredible!

me and my lulu

good times in the rain.

I mean...come on now.

Sis took these from the balcony.

pure cuteness.

"Huh?"

 

Those pics are great! Do you mind if I save them to my computer?

Thanks for posting them!

 

Sure! go ahead

At 40 seconds my heart explodes

 

Speaking of which...Mel, if you're not busy, could you update the main page of the thread? I sent ya some shizzle (via email)

haha, I updated the lists. But submissions for pictures need to be checked by Mana

WOW!!! Where are these from? They're so awesome:blush-anim-cl:

Oh and I love how some of the club members were helping me with my homework in line That was precious!

I believe we even made eye contact once, though, I tend to get annoyed when people talk about this. The only reason I bring this up was that there was a bit of an awkward moment that I could very well have completely made up in my head. It seemed that Mika was looking right at me so what do I do? I whip out my camera, haha, and as soon as I go to take the picture, it's like he looked at me and walked away on purpose right when I was taking the picture. Probably never happened, though.

 

I couldn't look back at him the first time I met him. Like I was looking above his head to get through it... I was such a little girl. So if eye contact is what I get, I'm bound to talk about it *It's true Caz, you really do just stand there and stare*

Yeah, when it started raining people seemed to split. Thank God I had a hat on

That was so rough and stupid And then they expected us NOT to run toward the stage?

Wow.

Mika framed your work!!! That's crazy amazing because those take time and he must have really appreciated it:wub2:

I know what you meant about WAG, he was so giggly and in love with the crowd when we were singing the song for him

LOVE the first line!

 

I've been posting that and "He is magic" everywhere

Okay, fixed it *I think* Thank God for Lu, I was jumping too much to record.

HIIIIII! I just got home and I'm already in bed, and I can't type as fast on my laptop as my desktop. I started a report at the airport but this will be a brief overview!

 

First, it was SO fun to met all the other MFC'ers and go crazy! I think I have bruises on my arms from getting squished over the whatever you call it before the stage/barrier?

Front row center. Perfect. 90% I'm guessing were MFC'ers.

 

Our editor is extremely pretty so I'm not at all surprised she got lots of eye contact. I said, he HAS to meet you, you are the editor!

 

I took pictures but I need to find my cord to upload them or put my printer together so I can just get them in that way.

 

He got the cupcakes I ordered for him, I have a picture of them, he got the cupcakes from the girl in the line after the show as well.

 

I had three cans of silly string and gave two to one guy (why oh why did I do that??) and our initial plan had been to silly string when he played Rain, but I was the only one with any so I did and then Mika took it from me. Next time I'm planning that better.

 

His little tea pot is broken (the leg is messed up). His zipper did come down but no ripped pants! He made his comment about selling out larger venues even though his record company didn't think he could. I have to pause now, I'm beat. I may pop over to the Oldings but I'm very glad I went to the show. I'm very glad that the MFC'ers and real Mika fans gave him a ton of support.

It seems to me that this tour has been so rushed and filled with activity. Poor Mika has been doing something everyday. I hope he gets to chill with Ella and be a kid for a few hours. I understand it - the publicity machine is working full out and he does have to promote his music.

I assisted with the picking out of the big girls after I got turned down to be one. The one that posted the pics, I did not pick out.

I can't wait for Saturday in Oakland.

Silly string and earplugs which I forgot.

Oh, the Meyers have video and all sorts of stuff but they said it was going to take them awhile to get it all together.

Aw you're so sweet! It was so nice meeting you and you were so much fun! (all of you for that matter)

I was second row:sneaky2: That was a rough entrance.

Aww, great reports/pics everyone. Welcome to all the post-gig newbies!

 

Melanie - Sounds like you had such a great night! And, sweet of your sister to mention the yearbook. You deserve your moment of glory, organizing that beast is crazy-making! Do you remember if he said anything when you said you were working on the 2009 version?

 

And I'm glad you loved the show. He really has outdone himself in the "show" aspect. Fantastic that you got to see that.

haha, I know he smiled when I said that, and said something back...but I was having a moment You'll get more chances to ask if he read it right? You're not done yet???

Just a few pics of the rainy signing

Gosh, I've always thought his nose was adorable.

More to come, hopefully soon.

Oh I'm so glad you got a chance to speak to him this time. Sounds like you had a much better night than the last gig.

 

You seem so grown up now Melanie!

 

Yes, it was much better and I was wearing comfortable shoes this time.

Thanks! I felt different this time, and two years will make a person change. It's just a confidence thing that I can attribute to my journalism major, I guess.

Wow, I write alot huh? The last two paragraphs are the best, I think.

At three in the morning I was wide eyed and paralyzed, tucked underneath my blankets. By nine I was in my Media Ethics & Law class trying to not look so dazed and distracted. By 12:30 I was on a Redline train heading toward the venue. At approximately 1:00 I was wandering around the WRONG side of town because my stop had been canceled. Great! Fifteen minutes into my panic and I had found The Riv. Thank God. I waited with some lovely fans for about five hours, total. My lazy hipster (but adorable) crowd of friends met me in line just in time. Next came the standard, waiting around in anticipation.

The smell of a moshpit is always an interesting one. Honestly, I’m used to smelling pot smoke at the concerts I go to. I didn’t smell THAT, but I smelled something. The show started at about 8:30-ish. The intro was so fitting to the venue. I know that the theater dates back to the 20’s, but the whole 1950’s “Let’s sit around the TV and be cute” thing was really appropriate. How do you describe this show? It was simply MAGIC. I managed to score the second row which was very nice.

Mika sounded so great and he looked…let me say, gorgeous. When he’d pass our part of the pit, I could catch little instances of complete joy in his face. Really, when he smiles it’s like your heart pumps confetti instead of blood. It’s more than just a handsome face, it’s this genuine happiness and appreciation that shines through him. The energy of the crowd was fierce, and Mika took notice. The first show in Chicago he was getting a feel for the crowd. It took him a bit longer to warm up to us. The second time around he knew us a lot better. Well, THIS TIME, was the BEST time. I felt the warmth of the audience (literally) and I knew he could too. He thanked the city several times.

At the end of the show I got a call from my sister who had staked out a spot in the alley for me and my friend Luis (lulu) and when I arrived at the spot I realized she and my other buddy Ritter were first in line. Thus, I too was first in line. It was pretty crowded, but when it started to rain I think people were a little less hopeful that he’d come out. If anything I expected him to wave and smile. But then again, I knew better. I had the same feeling I did at The Metro two years ago. “He’s gonna stay a while.” I didn’t have it last year at HOB, but I had it yesterday for sure.

I wasn’t nervous, I wasn’t contemplating my words…just reapplying my mascara. We waited, in total, for what felt like 45 minutes. John came out a few times from the back door. At one point a pizza was delivered inside as well. Kind of hilarious!

A line of average sized people trail out of the doorway holding umbrellas and then.... Mika, sky high and cloaked in a military style black coat. I noticed that first, come on now Actually first I noticed that smile. He wasted no time, though scanned the crowd with his eyes before trudging (with very large steps) toward me. By now it wasn’t a line, more of a row up in front and I was on the far right. So he darted toward me first, looking me straight in the eyes with that insanely adorable wide smile. I wasn’t aware of myself or conscious of how I was around him. It was the coolest I’ve been around Mika. Ha, as ridiculous of an analysis that is, I really mean it.

He walks toward me and I’m thinking, “Wow, me first huh? “ and “Awwwwwww.” So I asked him if he’d sign my album and he said “Of course!” He’s a pro now at that quick sharpie action. While signing the album my sister chimes in because she knew I wouldn’t fess up…Fess up to what? What else, that book I’m chained to for half a year that archives Mika’s every move and all of his adoring fans. “Hey Mika, she’s the editor of the fanclub’s yearbook.” So he continued to look at me and I think it dawned on him. So I continued the thought “Yeah, you know that book you get once a year from the MFC.” It’s very weird for me to take credit for anything that massive. It’s almost as though, If I were anyone else I’d be annoyed with THAT girl who pats herself on the back. So I don’t do that, ever. And I would never have mentioned it to him. It would have been too weird to say it. BUT, I am glad my sister did…. that sneaky girl.

“Yes! The Yearbook!” He said and quite honestly I cannot remember a single word after that. My brain went dead when I had my “Aha” moment finding his wide glittery eyes on mine and his head bent over me under his umbrella. I did mention that we were working on the 09’ book. It’s a blur, zapped of specific quotes other than the ones I just gave. But the details I’ve always remembered from our encounters have been the little instances of human to human connection. His face that close and the fact that I could make eye contact with him. (I couldn’t two years ago)

So it was a simple moment. I don't see him very often. I can't globe trot. So this one show, this one little instance made me realize that I'm not insane for doing what I do for him. Because when he's up there and your down there...and he sings and you sing back to him, you'll see it in his face that there will never be anyone like him. He’s magic.

Eye contact with Mika was ferociously amazing. - I have more to say, I just need to eat something.

Like really? 24 hours?

I will go and wait in line alone, but two of my friends are meeting me *my gay husbands* later on. My family:my cousin, and two sisters (ones pregnant lol) will be sitting in the balcany. I swear a Mika gig is an EVENT

So ready, will be there by 1:30. whooooooooooo. And I'm just bringing the album for him to sign *if he comes out* and damn right, I'll be tweeting him

Went to class today to make up what we'd miss for Tuesday.

 

Then we got 24 beaded (kind of mardi gras style) golden necklaces,

3 light up heart pin thingies

and 6 golden balloons.....just in case.

 

Also went to the post and got our tix!!!!

 

We're ready to wait in line.

 

So are we still doing the desert thing. Didn't someone mention about getting cupcakes or something? Maybe we could attach the balloons to it and all sign a balloon or something......

Hmmm maybe we should ask the Riv if they can receive that kind of a delivery? Or they would deliver it to us in the line, we attach the balloons and manage to find someone to give it to him??

Just a heads up! I havn't gotten the glowstick bracelets...I forgot and I have midterms all week, including next tuesday before the show. I don't have time to breathe, so I just wanted to let you guys know so that you can hunt some down for yourselves if you still wanted to wear them. My outfit ,as I just realized, doesn't go with neon, so forget about me:aah: I never had a jacket made, because I can't sew haha...but I did get this!

This in cream, with black cigarette jeans, tucked into black riding boots and a silver sequined mesh tank...and a red scarf....and a black fedora!

P.S. Are you guys bringing cameras. I read on the riviera section of ticketmaster.com that no cams were allowed. I might just tuck it into my bra haha...but who knows!

NINE DAYS!!!!!!

hey guys- I still haven't gotten my tickets in the mail, have you?

no mail tomorrow, so have to wait till Tuesday.

my friend who was coming with me has to do something else. so, I have no one to wait with me all morning/afternoon on the sidewalk! kind of a drag.

what's the earliest any of you are coming?

I'm just wearing a black top to which I am attaching parts of a fabulous recycled gold sequined top. (and jeans!)

Hmmm I honestly think we'll be okay getting there early in the afternoon... People won't be lining up until later. I mean it'll just be us, I'm almost sure of that I'm probably gonna end up getting there at about 1:30... but is that even too early?????

That's a sexy prize...I entered.

I am so ready for the gig and I havn't seen him since last Winter. Bring it.

cupcakes would be cute.

A delivery is a delivery so if it says to MIKA they better give it to him. They can't just say take it back. We'd never poison him:aah:

Lets get him something from the bakery . Someone should contact the venue and see if they can have it waiting for him in his dressing room or something. The little tag can say it's from the MFC awww

Hey everyone! I've been stalking this site for a while (okay... a really long while, lol!) and I finally got around to joining.

 

I can't wait for the concert! AH! It'll be so amazing! I would definitely be interested in chipping in for the bracelets!!

P.S. Welcome to the club

bracelets are on me

I think I'll get to the venue at 12 (if that's the time we agree on) I cannot see anyone other than us getting there before 4... I need front row:shocked:
