Plus, I'm only 25 and I have lapses all the time. When I was at university, I was walking to class one day, totally zoned out, and forgot where I was going! Had a moment of panic, then finally remembered as I saw the building ahead of me. Oh...how embarrassing... Anyways, sorry to veer off-topic. MIKA!

Thank you! And I love your avatar.

Awww, I can't wait to see the pics/video tomorrow! But we're so lucky you were here to let us know what was going on, Deb. Now I'm just curious what happens after the show...

Me, too! I also love how it sounds like the audience is getting to hear Martin and Co speak. I love Mika, and could listen to him all day, but it's cool to hear that everyone is getting a chance to talk. Could you hear anything anyone said, Deb?

Sooo...it's already over? Or are they out of order?

AAAH!!! I've been wanting to hear that one live SOO badly!!! *dies as well* Video...please...*prays to the video gods*

*gasp* "Any Other World"...one of my fav songs EVER. And to hear it acoustic?! I think I would just start sobbing if I was at SLC tonight, lol. PLEASE tell me someone is going to have video!!!

Hmmm, it basically means nothing is plugged in. No electric guitar--just, well...acoustic. And usually acoustic sets have a smaller drumset (not sure what they'll do for that), and piano.

Deb, thanks for the continuous updates--brilliant! I'm glad they set up a cool looking set. I'm sure with all of the inventive and creative people working with Mika (who is the king of inventive and creative) they'll pull off something amazing. I. Want. To. Be. There.

*adds herself to the list of impatient people waiting for news* So the opening act should be on now?

Oh, ok. Thanks for letting me know! *sits and waits patiently for news*

Cath, just a side note, but do you have the full picture of your avatar? It's such a gorgeous shot!

Deb, thank you SOOOO much for keeping us updated. It's going to be really interesting to see how this night unfolds. I bet Mika and Co are doing a lot of last minute planning and band meetings!

Best gig of the tour? Waaah, I want to be there!! Sheit, this is going to be amazing. I agree with LadyGodiva--I want to see the whole thing on video!! Too bad I can't apparate...(sorry, had to throw a HP reference in there)

OMG, this is going to be amazing!!! I am really jealous right now, I will admit. Oh I REALLY hope someone has video of this!!! (By the way, can we see this radio interview Mika's doing? Do they have a live stream on their website or anything?)

You know, I was just going to start a thread on the boards about an acoustic tour and how great I think it would be. You can really hear Mika that way, and his voice is amazing just him and the piano. (I was inspired by this idea from listening to Live Lounge): http://youtube.com/watch?v=_OomyOuT9S4 Anyways, that being said I am very jealous of those of you who get to be there for an intimate, acoutics set--if that is what they decide to do. Granted, if it were my first Mika concert, I'd want to see the whole show the way Mika intended it to go, but I think there are major pros to the acoustic idea. Plus, Mika will probably feel really bad for the fans and mingle longer after the show, lol. Plus acoustic shows often have a lot more stories/talking to the audience. *shakes head* But oh my goodness, Mika is never going to tour in the US in the winter again!

Oh, I'm so glad the weather's nice! I have a feeling Mika and Co. are going to REALLY love getting away from the snowstorms and freezing cold.

Ooh, where's the video for this? (Sorry, I'm still a new-ish-bie.)

Oooh, you can see the bracelets really well there!

I love this picture, too--thank you Emily! I'm SOOO happy to see him wearing a "Mika shirt." He has all of these amazing T-shirts, but lately he's been going for a more polished look, I think. (At least onstage.) Good to see these shirts still exist in his collection.

Oh thank you all SO much for the reviews, pics, and video!! Welcome to the newbies--I've just joined this year as well. This North American tour is definitely going to bring in a lot of new fans. And lastly, I'm VERY glad to see Mika still has LadyGodiva's bracelets on. It's been over a week now!

AWWWWWWWWWW!!! God, I would love to see a baby picture of Mika. Has anyone ever seen one?

Your picture with Mika is SOOO cute! (And I looove his belt!) The other two pics are fantastic as well.

Eric, thank you SO much for the pictures! You captured some really amazing expressions. And I love that you were so meticulous about labeling the pictures. I'm like that, too. I'm also VERY happy to see that he's still wearing the bracelets!

Yeah, I heard something about that, too! Did they leave Chicago too late, and never make it out? What are they going to do now?
