Candboys

Thank you! I have shown my husband who all of you are so that in case he sees you guys there, he can say hi. If you all see a tall guy with 3 little boys with him, say hi too. We are all getting so excited for the show. Didn't seem like it was so far off just a little while ago?

I have a new worry. What sizes are the SHOES?

I have been busy reading back posts. I think I have spent my entire day on MFC.

Thanks, Kath, I will go search for it now. I have been on here all day and need to go too. We have puppy training class in half an hour with puppy MIKA.

Carri, Happy Birthday to Evie! She is now officially a teenager, right?

Hi! I got a call this morning also for being a lollipop girl in Chicago! It's been great to see your posts LadyGodiva!

Hi Kath! Yes, all that worry about the camera. I was ready to go out and get some disposables today! It's snowing AGAIN today.

congrats candboys!!!!!

Hi hooch! I lived in Va Beach a few times. It was fun there.

het candboys - where did you email?

I saw the post on here and on myspace looking for lollipop girls. I wasn't going to at first but I figured it was a long shot and I should just try. I hope it all goes well and this is not some sick joke! I have pm'ed the other gal on here that got the call this morning too so I guess it is legit.

It was funny actually, since as some of you know, my puppy is named Mika. My husband answered the phone and thought, my DOG doesn't have management!

Excellent...that's so cute!

enjoy the show

 

how did you manage to do that?

Hi Racha, I don't think we have met.

I simply emailed them my picture and said what size I was. I am excited but don't want to jinx myself in any way.

Hi to everyone here!

Congratulations, Amanda!!!! I just KNEW when I saw your pictures that you would make a perfect lollipop girl!

I got a call this morning also from Mika's management and I will be the other lollipop girl! Yay for the MFC!

I am beyond excited. Mostly in shock.

Congratulations, Wendy! That is so exciting for you! All that hard work you did!

It is a very exciting day today! I got a call from Mika's management this morning and it looks like I am going to be a lollipop girl in Chicago!!!!!

I am going.... but I hope there is more than just teenage girls there as this board would suggest. lol I might feel a little funny.

My husband is going as are my 3 sons so that will be 4 more males in the audience.

It was nice to see everyone here. I am off to the pool again. It is a daily occurance.

Sweet dreams everyone!

i think so.

he's too big in france now

 

but we can check better in the following days

 

I guess that makes the upcoming Chicago show extra special. It is a big club venue but definitely not an arena.

 

Not bad thanks. How's you?

 

 

Already ?

 

It makes you wonder what we did before digital cameras!! Thanks for the Myspace request - we are now friends!

 

Thanks! I am trying to learn my way around myspace. It seems very different to me than facebook. I am not real sure of how it all works yet.

 

 

I know....but I did it in Glasgow as my digital was playing up...and when i TOOK IT IN (sorry) I only had to wait an hour....and it was well worth the wait!!!

 

OK, I will go out this weekend and buy some disposables!

 

Why not take a couple of disposables, just in case? ( i think SL is right............I must be a pro!!! )

 

Yea, that's a thought. I did not realize how digitized I have become. Film camera, back to waiting to see IF your pictures came out. Going to the store to drop off the film, waiting, paying for bad shots. Wow, what a horrible whiner I am!

 

But, hey! I will have my phone!

 

That is a bummer...and definately not worth getting thrown out for. If I were you...and God knows, I want to be!!!! I would concentrate on enjoying the moment whilst actually in the concert...don't worry too much about pics..because there will always be some pics available...but take pics outside...especially at a small venue there is a good chance that you will get close to mIKA OUTSIDE..AND DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT 'NO PICS' OUTSIDE... (whoops sorry!) I never do...and they can't take your camera off you outside

 

There was talk on the Chicago show forum that they may even have metal detectors. I want to be able to take decent pictures but don't want to get my camera confiscated nor do I want to be thrown out.

 

Have fun dcdeb! I will look for your show report!

Maybe he could fit Mika's and accidentally take pictures!!

:roftl:

Not bad. I have been shopping.

Chicken is nOT boring

 

 

Well, the kind I got today was the boring chicken.

Not bad. I have been shopping.

Hi Clare, did you buy anything fun? I went shopping today too but for boring things like chicken and eggs and milk.

 

How far is it? how big is the venue?

 

The drive is about 4 hours, I think. You would think I would know since I went to Chicago over Christmas but I don't really remember. I am not sure how big the venue is. I think bigger than the one in Minneapolis but not huge like toronto.

 

The big downer is I heard on the official concert forum that the venue was very strict about their no camera rule. It was said there that if they see your camera, they can throw you out.

It will be great to see everyone again. As we have said before, the meet up of MFCers is almost the main event now and Mika is an added bonus!!

 

It's good that your customers are supportive. It must be difficult being self employed (I assume you are, sorry if you're not)

I know, I wish there were other oldlings going to Chicago. I am not really making any big plans to line up early or anything. I don't think the family would appreciate getting frozen. Although my one son REALLY wants to be up front. I have no idea what the size of the venue is. I only know that it is now sold out.

Hi Cadnboys - what's House of Blues?

 

 

Hi, Sarahlou, House of Blues is the venue name in Chicago for the Mika concert next Tuesday night. I know I am a worry wart but I keep watching the weather. Our cars are not the best and don't really want the roads to be icy and slippery when we go.

Hi Kath. I am going to House of Blues in Chicago and that is only in 4 days!!!!!!

Hiya Clare

 

Clare I think your name banner is VERY clever..but it is a bit migraine inducing

And I'm just getting over a near miss!!

Ah, maybe I could try out the new medication! JK. I get what I call "eye headaches".

Hi CB - glad DH can go with you - enjoy it

another nutter husband!

(am i right? )

Yes, he is actually getting excited to go. I am relieved that he is able to because I was going with or without him. Plus, he can take they boys to the washroom when needed.

Wendy, are you feeling any better? I went to the doctor and got some new meds for headaches today. So, I am waiting for the next one to hit to try it out.

Rose, I don't think we have met and I will go to back posts to catch up a bit. New opportunities are good and scary. I hope it works out for you. Don't mind me, I don't know what I am talking about.
