HI guys, I have to keep this very short, we are getting ready to drive home. I really did get to be on stage with Mika! It was great! We watched from backstage and the best part of being back there was when he was shirtless on top of the drum set during love today. He was facing us and he was doing that wiggly dance. Priceless!
I was glad I went prepared. I had makeup to do all the lollipop girl's blush and gel liner for freckles that Yasmine wanted. There were 4 LGs altogether. I had also brought hair ties and bobbie pins and a brush. I have blonde wig hairs in my brush now. Everyone seemed nice but they seemed a bit stressed.
We got to meet Mika because Mandilambi and kind of pushed the issue. They were in a real hurry to clear the venue. We did see Mika before the show and he said hi but then they were off to have their preperformance powow. After the show, we were put to wait for the ok to meet him and when Nadia went off, he walked into the room so I said hi and that we were waiting for him. I think he was just on his way to put some things away but after he did that, he talked to us and signed things and took some pictures. After about 10 minutes, Nadia came back and said where did you find him? I guess she had set off to look for him to tell him we were waiting.
They needed to clear the venue by 10 he had said and they were leaving for Minneapolis right away. I'm glad I wasn't all star struck or I may have not have said hi to hime when he walked by.
My kids had a great time and of course knew all the words to all the songs. I told Mika my kids were out in the audience and that it was their first concert. He said, "Kids?" like he didn't believ I had children and asked me how old they were. I also told him I had a puppy named Mika and he thought that was funny. He asked how I spelled it.
OK, gotta get packed up.
