Hello all in MFC Land!!!!
I wanted to introduce myself, I am CLOSETMIKAFAN aka SUZY's hubby. I was
introduced to this forum more than a year ago by my better half SUZY. My
first MIKA experience occurred while I was driving our car with Suzy and
our kids when she blasted the radio on high and went on and on about a
certain song and artist that she was hearing on a radio which she
adored. As most husbands go, I mumbled some form of acknowledgement and
kept on driving not knowing the full extent of what was to happen in the
coming days....
Lo and behold, soon enough Mika became part of our family!!! The kids
love him, SUZY loves him and yes, I am man enough to admit that I like
him. His music and shows are infectious, a lot of happy, mixed with some
sad, an eclectic mix of crazy sights, sounds, but a whole lotta fun.
I have had the opportunity to meet him twice, last year in Toronto and
then again in Chicago (where I believe I am still wanted by Chicago's
Parking Authority because I haven't paid my fine - I so want to know
what happened to the woman that said she would put a quarter in the
meter for me ) both times were great experiences but my tag suggests
I am in the closet about liking MIKA, however, I don't want you to think
I find anything wrong with liking MIKA at all. I appreciate the hardwork
and effort that he puts forth in his shows and more so his kindness to
his fans, it is very rare to find that kind of openness in an artist.
What I also love is that he and his band makes you feel special,
welcomed but mostly comfortable, with meeting them. There is never a
"I'M A SUPERSTAR" attitude from him or his band mates. They are
approachable and making a connection with them is relatively easy, as
easy as meeting new friends for a pint at a pub.
For the few posts I have put out and to the 2 shows I have been to, I
was able to meet and interact with a great mix of individuals who I
would probably have never had the opportunity to meet, and with that I
can understand the allure of the forum. It is safe to say that I won't
post as much as some individuals on this forum, but when good things
happen or if there is some milestone or event, I won't feel shy to
say "HEY!!! or whatever else I want to say. Hopefully I don't get branded as "Big Brother" though
I look forward to interacting with you all on the forum from time to
time and hopefully get to meet those that will be attending the TORONTO
show, if not Toronto, then maybe somewhere else, at another time. Dress
warm, have fun, and don't be shy, I won't bite. Not unless you ask and I
have permission.
CLOSETMIKAFAN OUT!!!!!!
