  1. He's on at 4pm? That early? Perfect! I can arrive at 3.30 and leave at 5.00. Festivals, especially UK ones (usually wet, muddy and cold) are not really my thing! I'm making an exception as it's Mika and in London, and I hope his new music doesn't disappoint me, although I have a few worries on that count too... Sara has made me all nostalgic for the ICA/Somerset House days, or even before that, when it all seemed so much more fun
  2. That is one BIG ad! No excuse for anyone in Camden not knowing Lovebox is on, then!
  3. I know. I think I'll aim to arrive three seconds before Mika takes the stage to avoid having to endure the DJ/club crap. I don't have a VIP ticket so won't be at the front anyway!
  4. Ticket arrived On the down side, I looked at some footage of last year's Circus Stage acts on the Lovebox website, and if this year is anything like that I might have shot myself before Mika appears
  5. I bought a normal ticket. Therefore while you lot are down the front, and presumably have access to state-of-the-art toilets, and a restaurant serving champagne and caviar, I will be in the plebs compound at the back, peeing into a hole in the ground, and eating a ham sandwich.
  6. Absolutely, Suzie. And St Petersburg was beautiful. I'm not sure that I'll be quite so thrilled to explore the delights of Hackney. In fact, although I've lived in London since I was born, I have yet to discover any delights in Hackney!
  7. Well, I thought I'd make the effort to go, even though it's - ooh - five miles at least from my house, and I think I might have to get two different tubes. After all, don't forget I am the person who went all the way to St Petersburg to take a photo of the poster for the gig that never was
  8. It's £50 a ticket??? Do I want to spend that? It's a festival and I only want to see one artist on the bill And because it's a festival it'll be a shorter set And after EMD, and looking at the rest of the bill at this gig, I think Mika's gone all clubby and that might mean less good melodies And it's England in June so it'll probably rain And it's a weekend so public transport will be useless :rolls_eyes: *goes to buy ticket*
  9. Aww. I'd love to have met you! Next tour I'm sure we'll meet! Yes I was there, but it was all a bit of a rush... I'd been on holiday and flew home to the UK Friday morning, went straight from Gatwick airport to work, and then Saturday went back to Gatwick and flew to Porto. I arrived at the gig quite late so didn't queue or meet anyone Unfortunately I arrived just in time to get soaked to the skin and endure Tindersticks though I was standing towards to side, sort of near Rose, Kath, Yuls etc.
  10. NOOOOOOO! I only just got that damn song out of my brain, I come to this thread and there is is - back in my head again!
  11. Grrr. First live Mika pics/videos for a year and I only have a mobile phone here on which to view them!
  12. None of you guys like the bird t-shirt??? OMG, I LOVE it! I even tweeted him to say so!
  13. Right, the world has definitely gone completely mad. As an experiment I tweeted mikasdog, and would you believe it that clever dog replied to me. Incredible! She can not only read, but she can type really well, even with those big paws! Next thing, she'll be driving the damn car!
  14. Oh my, I can't believe it was more than THREE YEARS ago! What a lot has happened since then. For a start I have got older and totally not got wiser!
  15. If he has as hard a time as I did trying to validate points (half the time it didn't seem to work!), he will miss his own private gig!
  16. Portofino's fabulous, and so are some of the little places along the coast which you can get to by boat. Hope he has a good rest there and just chills out for a few days.
  17. Mmm. The combination of Mika's quirky comments, his unique spelling, and translation into Italian and then back into English - the possibilities for some oddly peculiar reading are endless!
  18. Don't be silly, Robertina. Many of us are lazy English people. We will just wait for you to translate it for us
  19. Don't think I wasn't tempted... after all it's not THAT far, is it (as long as you're looking at a very small-scale map )... But no, I will save up my money for the next tour, by which time I'll be that much older but probably no wiser
  20. Oh wow - 53 pages! I came home from Edinburgh on Tuesday (6am train), went straight to office, and then same day had to go away again (work ) and only just got home... so I have a lot of reading to do - only got to page 14 so far! My post-Mika-tour depression is kicking in with a vengeance!.
  21. With the accent on which bit? Like in MEL-anie? Or like in "a right mall-AR-ky"? These things are important, you know!
  22. Don't be RIDICULOUS, Blue Sky! That person is much older and uglier than me! :roftl:
