Just want to say how lovely it was to see some of the MFCers whom I have come to know only through shared "Mikaxperiences." Perhaps next NYC show I'll be in the front row with you!

Hey all at Webster Hall! Is there a big crowd? Anyone selling tix outside the venue? I was out of town & just got back. Can't decide if I'm too tired to go tonight!

Vero: I missed the last NYC show so I haven't seen you in person in a while...I thought I saw something on the MFC from which I inferred you were pregnant...and now 100% confirmation! I wish you and the new family you have created all the best! It's a cliche, but it's also true -- your life will never be the same! The days can be long, but the time is short -- there are a lot of new experiences awaiting you. If I didn't have a daughter, perhaps I still wouldn't know who Mika is! Congratulations, oh, and try to sleep whenever the baby does! All the best, Joanne

Holly, I'm sending you all the best! I just saw this thread for the first time. It's lovely of your daughter to care for and post for you! Hope this is not a physical manifestation of "post-Mika depression!" Wishing you a speedy recovery... Joanne

Yes! And I am taking you on the subway!

Thanks for posting such great reports everyone! So glad that Mom4Mika's dream came true! I was worried that reading this thread would make me green with envy, but instead, I feel as though I've experienced it vicariously with everyone. And I had a great visit with my cousins who were visiting from overseas. Sometimes, you have to put family first -- but I don't know if I'll do that again!!!

Jamie: You look great! Have a wonderful time tonight. See you at the next NY show. --Joanne

Hi Heather! Enjoy the show! I'll see you at the next one...

Hi to everyone going to the NYC show! I did not have the heart to change my RSVP status in the other thread, but I decided a few days ago not to go to the show because of some family obligations I have. Having seen Mika at GMA is helping me get through this! If I have the time, I might try to stop by the meetup just to say hello to everyone. If I don't make it, I wish all of you a fabulous time! I apologize for the awful weather we're having. Usually October is quite nice. All the best, Joanne

I don't have much to add to the other reports here. It was a lovely morning! I arrived, sleepy, at about 5AM but tried to sound cheery as I said "Good morning ladies" to Lucy and Natalie. And I was very happy to see them there for another Mikasperience. It was great to see Jack again and to meet Rilo. I have to say that it was not as much fun in terms of the show as Mika's GMA appearance in summer 2007. At that time, at least some of the audience members were allowed into the studio for Mika's rehearsal and that was great. At that time, Mika also performed two songs, more "bumpers," and took lots of time to sign things and talk to some of us. Immediately after the 2007 appearance, though, audience members were forced to leave very quickly. I saw the same surly security guard this morning, but this time we were all allowed to take a picture with Mika. That was very nice.

Thanks for posting. For the outdoor shows, they don't do tickets and I also did not realize that they have them at all. I don't recall tickets ever being mentioned on the air. They might require more time for "processing," but we'll see what happens. I was so fortunate to be the third person on the VIP line last time, but I don't have that connection anymore.
