Great idea! Sign me up, please!

I like the idea, but I think it would be too much of a burden for violet.

Okay, avoca, LOL, slow down, don't get a heart attack, please, we need you for the card thing! ...deadline is only end of the week

--- And I'd never pull your ear , but maybe I'll come over to give you a big HUG! (I know your address )

 

 

I have 24 messages so far. I hope I'll get the others until end of the week (about 30) You can check that on post #1, I keep you updated there.

 

As soon as I have all the messages I'll edit them to an ultimate Bday greetings MP3 file. As for the order I think it will be alphabetical (considering the Forum ID). I'll burn it on a CD and of course I will include a list of all the IDs in the right order, also a little (hopefully artsy ) booklet/cover which I will show you as soon as it is finished.

As some of you have asked before I will upload or send the file for/to those who want to listen to it after it will be finished. But like avoca I will start a poll before so that you can decide whether the other participants should hear your message or whether it is for Mika only. In the end there will be two versions of the message, a Mika message (so to speak, which is the one he'll get) and an 'official' one which is provided for all those who are in the project.

Oh and last but not least I will send the CD to St avoca of Mikaville who will hand it over to Mr. M. and hopefully capture the memorable moment on cam.

 

 

 

He's certainly busy, and I highly doubt that he will listen to the messages on his Bday itself but after all it is a CD and has no feet to run away. I'm sure he will listen to it. He deals so gently and patiently with his fans, that I am just sure. I trust him on that one.

(OMG, I am so happy that he's not a door-to-door salesman for expensive vacuum cleaners....)

 

Thank you, Daka and SillyJilly (love your ID ) for your messages. Funny and beautiful Love them!

Aww, thanks! And you're right that he probably won't have time to respond. I was just daydreaming Thanks again for putting it all together! I wish I had thought of this!

My message has been sent! I hope Mika sends a response after he recieves all of our messages. That would be sooo amazing! :D

I would love to be a part of this! Great idea! I'll wait for the PM

1. Tampa, FL

2. Orlando, FL

3. Ft. Myers, FL

(4. Global Warming Awareness Concert in Punta Gorda where Hurricane Charley hit about 3 years ago )

I love this idea! I can't sew, but I would love to be included somehow. Let me know what I can do! :D

Thank you for the help! I am going to try and see him on Good Morning, America in New York. *crosses fingers*

You're welcome! I am curious how you met Mika several times! I really wanted to meet him last night because I wanted to give him a copy of a painting I made, and I wanted him to sign the original painting. Any suggestions on how to plan my next concert so I can meet him?

I sent some already, and I have a few more on the way. I was unable to put captions under the pictures so I sent the basic caption for each pic in the email.

It was the one of the most amazing experiences of my entire life! My friend and I got at the venue at six, and waited three hours in the rain, but it was worth it! We ended up front row center and it was absolutely amazing! He and the band were musically spot-on! Love Today was definately the highlight of the show, I got to touch him and he gave me the one of the drumsticks he used to bang on the trashcan at the end of the song!!!!

 

You forgot to mention that you met me, and we let stand at the front of the line with us It was so nice to meet you share one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Awesome pics by the way! I found it hard to take pictures of him with his head so high up!

I have some pics! What is the best way to send you pics?

I hope I can meet Mika another time.

5:00: Pulled into the parking lot. It was pouring rain, and this guy took $10 for the parking and ran off. We ended up paying $20 for the parking. My mom was freaking out because she was afraid we were going to be shot or mugged because five bums were hanging around. We found a group of college kids to walk over to Studio A with us.

5:30: Started to wait in line. We made an umbrella chain because there were 6 of us (including the college kids) and only 3 medium sized umbrellas.

5:45?: I found the girls I met on the Mika Fan Club website. Mika's assistant came out and comended us for being groupies/hardcore fans. She passed out event flyers/posters and garbage bag ponchos. Oh yeah, and she called the police to send out security because crazy people were hanging around us. My beautiful straight hair curled and frizzed up from the humidity ...but Mika likes curly hair better anyway!

8:00: Bouncer came out to tell us we had to wait 35 min or more because they were still doing soundchecks. Lollipop girls came out and handed out lollipops.

9:30: They FINALLY let us in! I briskly walked in and got a spot in front of the stage (center-rightish).

11:00?: Mika came on stage!!! Here is the order of the songs:

Relax Take It Easy

Big Girl (You Are Beautiful) (LOVED it)

My Interpretation

Billy Brown

Any Other World

Stuck in the Middle (amazing, amazing!)

Ring Ring

Sweet Dreams

Holy Johnny

Happy Ending (I got video footage of this)

I Want You Back

Love Today (shirtless drum solo)

Grace Kelly (held my hand <3)

Lollipop (Furry Finale)

Mika is really, really tall! He is not skeletal skinny, just long and lean. He was wearing Charlotte High colors; he wore blue, skinny pants with a shiny gold outerseam, a white button-down shirt with 3/4 sleeves, black and silver metallic sneakers, and white suspenders with silver glitter. Later, his neon yellow/green briefs were showing . His hair is super curly, and later, his sweat dripped from his hair. He has nice teeth, big brown eyes, hairy arms, and a long neck. Oh yeah, since I was only 6 inches away from him when he stood in front of me, I realized his zipper was broken . Uh oh! :]

After Big Girl, Mika sat at the Yamaha keyboard. He is a hardcore pianist! He banged down on those keys, stood up and jumped while playing, and belted out each note! Wowwee-wow-woo-wow.

Here I would like to mention that everyone around me was screaming and shouting out the lyrics, and the sound quality was poor because the speakers were behind me. However, it was not too bad because I could hear Mika from wear I was standing, and he sounds exactly (or even better) than the CD. So, I was not missing anything new.

In between songs, he would say a few words. It was hard to hear because of the sound issue and his British accent. Before, Love Today he said something along the lines of "Now, we are going to show you all what we are made of! So show us what you are made of! Do anything you want! Let's start a rave/get crazy!" Before Big Girl, he asked "Are there any big girls here? Are you sure? This one is for all the big girls out there!". He also talked about how Miami is special to him because it is where he had his first gig.

During Grace Kelly, Mika came to me. I swear for the majority of the song he was standing on my side of the stage right in front of me. Jealous girls were jumping all over me trying to touch his hand, and they pushed my hand away. The most memorable moment of that night was when he lowered his hand to mine and held my fingers AND HE LINGERED!!!! He just did not high-five me or graze my hand; he held my hand and slowly (SLOWLY) let go to do the signature Grace Kelly move from the video. His hand was really warm, super soft, and sweaty. He did not touch anyone else in that moment. Just me. It felt like an eternity in that grasp.

The finale was WONDERFUL! First they performed a little dance in which each band member was dressed up in an animal costume. Mika was obviously the Big Bad Wolf because the wolf was wearing the metallic sneakers. During the dance, they circled around a bunny carrying and hammer and began raping/attacking her. The bunny struck the wolf with her hammer and knocked all the other creatures down, too. The bunny was soon revealed to be the female drummer, and everyone went back to their positions to start playing. Mika sang while the Lollipop and Big girls danced. Huge balloons (teal, yellow, orange, pink, blue) were being bounced around the club, confetti was released, and bubbles were floating around the room! It was spectacular!

Sadly, Mika had to go, and I could not meet him because I did not have a backstage pass.

Fortunately, a stage crew member gave me the piece of paper taped to the stage floor with the order of all the songs. I think Mika's footprint is on it!

We were shoved out of the club, and that was it!

But... I swear I saw Mika sitting on the curb in the alleyway behind the club as we drove by to get on the interstate.

Overall, the concert was the best ever! It was fun and crazy! Mika is my #1 favorite music artist, and I hope I can go to dozens of his concerts in the future!

Don't worry purplegrape! I bought a new digital camera just for the occasion.

Well, it's sold out, so I am gonna check out the line around 4. If it's not bad, I grab a bite to eat and come back. I would just hate to wait outside for a long time! It's so hot outside!

Well, I was thinking 5ish, but maybe earlier. I want to be up in the front!

I am going! Is anyone else? If so, what time are you going to wait in line?

Thank you, Daniela! Have you been to one? What is it like?

Thank you! I am sure I will!

Hi, I'm Jill, and I found Mika via myspace, and I have been obsessed ever since.

I am going to a MIKA concert tomorrow in Miami! I am very excited!

I was hoping if anyone can tell me how early I should get there to get great seats. It's first come first serve. I am asking because it seems most of the fans here got some awesome seats at their MIKA concerts.

I would also love to hear some concert stories or highlights.

Thanks!
