Ok, time is running out, and I have to start planning as if Mika is coming, because otherwise I will never get there. I am in Canberra, and would like to know if anyone here has been to a Sunrise concert, and can give me some details. eg. when to get there, whether anyone is let inside the studio if it is indoors; is there an actual longer concert/session, or only one or two songs which are televised, how many people usually show up and anything else you can think of that might be useful! Also, as I need to do an overnight stay, probably with a 19 y.o. son, is anyone interested in meeting up the day before, or on the day? Can we get a support group going to encourage shy verandah folk to make the trip too?

I'm in here, 2 boys, 16 and 19, both lanky beanpoles, curly hair. I look at Mika and it gets weird, so I must be in it for the music! My husband looks at me strangely, and says he thought I was well past getting obsessed by musicians... My eldest thinks Mika is quite good and wants to go to Sunrise in Sydeny with me (if it really happens)! So I can hide behind him, and just be the clinging mother who needs to guard the nestling. (So much less embarrassing than being the aging woman drooling over the pretty young thing - or it it???) (Nope, they are both bad, sad and plain wrong!) It's all about the music, nothing but the music

I'm glad someone else mentioned it first, because I thought so the first time I heard it, and now I can't shake the idea. ...And I used to be a bon Jove fan!

Thanks for the hint - but.... I think I gave a few clues I might already have been there once or twice LOL I seem to feel right at home...

I finally stopped lurking and got legal!! I'm an Aussie, and just as strange as the rest of my kind, with drop bears and verandahs all around. I am not quite as perpetually chatty as I could/should be, but will put in my 2 cents worth whenever I can't hold my tongue any more. I hope this fabulous forum keeps going strong, and we can all play for a good few years yet! Looking forward to spending time with you all, and dancing in wild circles, especially if Mika heads this way soon! Moni

It sounds like it will be a full on visual onslaught of riotous colours! Mika is willing to share his vision with the world to the extent of holding the exhibtion. Maybe he could be persuaded to take that one step further... It would be really great if someone could convince the gallery (and Mika) that there was a great demand (and great advertising for them!) if they would make a virtual tour of the exhibition, so that those of us wothout the slightest chance of seeing live, could also immerse ourselves in Mika's LICM vision. I had a dream....
