Yassssss Citizens!! I think a huge number of Mika fans fell in love with them as well (including me, what can I do... )

2 days, peeps!

Heya! got something for you! http://www.mikafanclub.com/topic/32137-meet-and-eat-in-madrid-4th-october/

Citizens! will be supporting Mika on this whole tour, so they will sing before him in Madrid

I'll post more FOREIGN MEDIA in SPAIN As Alba recently said, this is one of the articles: http://www.cromosomax.com/30679-llaman-maricon-a-mika-y-este-responde-de-manera-sorprendente Llaman "maricón" a Mika y éste responde de manera sorprendente HOMOFOBIA MUSICAL 13 Agosto 2015 10:30 · Enric Zapatero Comenta ¿Qué pasa si llamas MARICÓN a MIKA? No te pierdas su INCREÍBLE respuesta. Mika ha sufrido más de una vez la homofobia y no sólo con heterosexuales: su ambigua salida del armario, primero como bisexual y más tarde como gay 100%, le ha causado más de una crítica, pero él sabe reponerse y lo hemos visto con el duro ataque que ha sufrido recientemente. Alguien decidió vandalizar los pósters de su concierto en Italia con la palabra "Frocio", el equivalente a nuestro "maricón" de toda la vida. Y Mika, lejos de amedrentarse, convirtió la foto en su imagen de perfil y de fondo en Twitter y lo acompañó de un mensaje muy positivo: "Vi el garabato encima de mis posters y mi primer instinto fue pasar de ello... que el odio de muchos sea ignorado. No tengo miedo de aquellos que discriminan. Nadie debería. El amor habla por sí solo". Muy valiente por parte de Mika ridiculizar a los homófobos de esta forma. Un ejemplo para muchos y un motivo de ánimo para aquellos que sufren la homofobia día a día en sus círculos más cercanos. Recuerda que tendremos concierto de Mika en Madrid el 5 de octubre. Another one in Spanish: (A journalist working for this website interviewed Mika last month in Spain) http://shangay.com/m...te-la-homofobia Mika no se queda callado ante la homofobia aug 12 2015 MIKA FUE OBJETO DE HOMOFOBIA EN FLORENCIA. ¿Y QUÉ HIZO EL CANTANTE? APROVECHAR EL ATAQUE PARA COMPARTIRLO Y DENUNCIARLO ANTE SUS SEGUIDORES. POR:ALBERTO HERRERO MÚSICA GAY DIVA GAY CELEBRITIES NOTICIAS LGTB DERECHOS LGTB HOMOFOBIA El pasado fin de semana, uno de los seguidores de Mika en Italia enviaba una fotografía al cantante vía Twitter en la que aparecían carteles de uno de sus conciertos –el de Florencia, concretamente– en los que unos vándalos habían escrito 'frocio', o lo que es lo mismo, 'maricón' en italiano. Y Mika, al que entrevistamos el mes pasado en una visita exprés a nuestro país, no se calló ante este ataque. En un golpe maestro, el libanés sacó pecho e hizo del insulto una reivindicación. Con un pie de foto en el que se podía leer en italiano “Tienes razón”, el artista compartió con sus casi 400.000 seguidores de Instagram y 900.000 de Twitter la fotografía del cartel acompañada de hashtag #RompiamoIlSilenzio (#RompamosElSilencio) El intérprete de Elle Me Dit publicó una serie de tuits en los que decía que su primer instinto había sido “dejarlo ir”, pero que no estaba asustado. “Nadie debería estarlo. El amor hace lo que quiere”. Mika es abiertamente gay y en su penúltimo single habla abiertamente de ello. La canción Good Guys ha sido especialmente radiada en emisoras de Italia y Francia, países donde, además de cantante, también es jurado de exitosos talent shows. A juzgar por el apoyo que ha tenido el showman más colorido del pop parece que las cosas también están cambiando en Italia. “La participación y el apoyo del público en contra del insulto homófobo que hice público me han conmovido por su inimaginable intensidad. Son testimonio del deseo generalizado de cambio y progreso. Todo esto va más allá de mí y de mi cara tachada en un cartel, nos afecta a todos. Mirar hacia otro lado es un lujo, hay quienes no pueden escapar de la intolerancia. Estoy impresionado e inspirado por la respuesta”, escribía ayer en su cuenta de Twitter.

Nope, she was coming with me and a friend of mine

Yesss her name is Elisa (QueenElisaII on MFC ) And thank you so much! Believe me when I say it was a pleasure! So lovely meeting you, glad you made it to the hotel safely, I hope my French was good enough (it was too late and I was quite tired ) Have fun in Rochefort!!

Welcome to the MFC

Voted!

Merci pour tout ! C'était magnifique, une expérience inoubliable, vraiment

My beloved Claire, thank YOU! It was so lovely meeting you, what a pity we couldn't use your flowers, they were awesome but we had so little time and many things to do but thank you for bringing them and for your help! And you're right, I'm sure we will meet soon, at least I hope so!! (I'm going to the Paris gig in Sept, maybe you too?) Let me know if you come back to Spain one day

Vamos a mirar algo, desde luego! Despues de la experiencia tan positiva de Barcelona, hay más ganas que nunca

Hi everyone!! Sorry for writing my report that late, I was a bit busy this week I will start saying it was one of the best gigs of my life!! Beautiful place, no queue, met many MFCers and I loved talking to everyone! He should have sung more new songs, that's the only thing I missed, but in general it was an amazing experience! So I will start explaining my point of view of the project we organized with your help! We bought many many things for the basket (including a hat and a bowtie, not only food!) the full list is on the other thread, if you are curious about it. That morning, I called my contact (sending lots of love to this guy, he was extremely nice with me!) to enter the backstage and he told me I could arrive when I wanted once they open doors, so we were there at 8-8:15, as everyone. I met there many of you (thanks for coming and say hi! I can't see anything without glasses ) and then went right to the backstage area. I asked for someone working inside and they let us enter to organize the whole thing next to Mika's dressing room. (We had to move some heavy M-suitcases and I almost kill someone with them but it's ok ) Soooooo we prepared everything (the person who was helping us loved the result, she even took a picture of us while organizing everything and added she would love to have fans like us, that Mika was so so lucky ). This is the result: The hat The bowtie The final backstage result: The MFC card: Once it was ready, we left and went to the seated area to organize the fans thing (thanks mellody for bringing the colored paper and Claire for the flowers!). During Underwater, we saw how the crowd started raising their mobiles with the lanterns, so we joined them! The view from the front row was absolutely stunning, I'm sure Mika loved it! For the flowers, I talked to the security guy and he told me I could only give them to Mika at the end of the last song. We all know he always does an encore, but they don't, so when they saw the confettis they basically pushed me to give Mika the bouquet. So yeah, I had to run as I saw how he was waving and leaving. Luckily he saw me and took the bouquet! he told me "Gracias" in Spanish while touching my face, so cute! You can see the flowers thing on Dreamy_Queen's Love Today video, right at the end of it. This is the bouquet, thanks Nina for the pic!: And then the M&G, I have to say it was one of the best M&G I've been to. Despite we had to wait for a few hours without water (again thanks to mellody for giving me some champagne ), he finally arrived and I loved how the thing went. No one pushing, screaming, etc. Everyone respected their turn, patiently waiting and Mika was quite happy and relaxed. I asked him about the basked and he said he loved it, that they drank the 3 bottles ( ) and put the rest inside his flight case. I added a fan for MamaP but he took it. I told him no, it's for your mum and he laughed There was an afterparty with some famous ppl as well (Spanish actors, etc. one of the "ants" of El Hormiguero was there, maybe you know him ) Then he mentioned the cupcakes my friend Marian prepared, but when I asked if he liked them... he said he doesn't like cupcakes in general (so you know, no more cupcakes for Mika ) And then we talked a bit about the next Spanish festival, the Arenal Sound. His smile disappeared and then he said it's gonna be a nightmare for everyone, even for the artists. I already had my ticket but it was a difficult one to make it possible, and after what he told me, I decided to sell it. I may be young but my body is not ready for this kind of festival (August 2, on a beach for hours, under the Spanish sun and Mika performing at 3 AM with 7 other artists before him? No thanks ) Good luck to everyone going, tho! I have to thank the Festival for giving me the chance of preparing everything, they were all so so kind, even if it was a big (and posh) one! As I said, loved meeting many of you again or for the first time, you were all so lovely My beloved German friends, I hope you liked your stay in Barcelona, can't wait to see you again asap! Graciosa and mellody, thanks for the M&G videos! Love them And thanks again to everyone who participated on this project, even if we prepared everything a week before! you made it possible!

Ahhhhh thank you all! crossing fingers for tonight! See you there x

Hey all! I finally have a computer and some internet so... Project update: Went (Mika)shopping today and as we have a pretty nice budget we bought many many things, so here I go: - 2 bottles of champagne (one of them is cava rosado, pink cava, sweet) - A bottle of Spanish wine - Handmade fresh pasta from Catalonia (he said he loved spaghetti and I saw this one, couldn't resist) - A jar of Spanish olives and anchovy (I think it's a jar, my friend bought this one and I haven't seen it yet) - A little pack of Iberian ham (the best one, of course) - A typical Catalan sausage? called fuet. Just a bit so he can try it - The card for our names, etc. - A wooden basket to put everything in. We are also preparing tomorrow some Mika cookies and cupcakes (related to the TAY video) so the mise en place will look pretty Mika-ish and colorful We will buy the bouquet of flowers tomorrow so they will be as fresh as possible. The best part of the day: Even if we already have a pretty nice basket, and saving money for the flowers, of course, we realized still had some extra money! Yay! So we bought something he can wear, not only eat: a beautiful hat and a bowtie. The quality is amazing (both are from nice brands), and luckily we had a huge discount so the price was absolutely awesome. Will post a pic if i can do it, or maybe you can see it tomorrow. And i think that's all... Concerning the flowers Claire is bringing, I think they are so cool, we can just mix them with the fans made of paper. Unfortunately I can't do more flowers now, as I have no extra time, sorry! Now yes, that's all, can't wait for tomorrow!! If you have any suggestion please let me know!

Claire just told me she is bringing 8 big flowers, we can combine them with the fans! What do you think? I will look nice and colorful

Nuria, first of all welcome to the mfc! You have a PM

Thanks Priscila, and welcome to the MFC!!

If you want, we can meet on Thursday, just let me know! And yes, I agree, I also think it should be during a new song

Os recuerdo que aún podéis participar, cierro la lista a las 6 de la tarde hora española Aquí os dejo el thread del concierto: http://www.mikafanclub.com/topic/31638-mika-at-festival-jardins-de-pedralbes-barcelona-10-july-2015/page-10#entry4010761

Buenas! Pues lo hemos estado comentando estos días en el thread del festival, aquí en el MFC, y al final hemos visto que no nos daba tiempo a hacer casi nada (la mayoría viajamos a Barcelona en unas horas e incluso desde otros países), así que al final hemos decidido comprarle un gran ramo de flores y una cesta con productos típicos españoles, a ver qué tal! También tenemos pensado hacer un juego de luces con las linternas de los móviles en una canción, esperemos que salga Tu idea es fabby total, quizás lo hagamos para otro concierto en el que tengamos más tiempo para prepararlo!

Will you do a bank transfer? I tried to send you a PM with the details but it didn't work

Awesome, tell me the name of your sister if she wants to be on the card as well! x

Ok so, to make it easier for some of you, I'm going to send you a PM with a bank account number so you can transfer your total asap, and hopefully we will have most of the total amount before buying everything. Therefore, if you're on the list and you want to do a bank transfer, it would be perfect if you can do it today, Tuesday 7, so the money will be available on Friday (we all know how the bank transfers work...it usually takes around 2/3 days) If not, you can still do it later but it will be a bit messy. (Sorry for the hurry, but we are running out of time) Ok now... good news!! We have already reached 100 euros!! I'll count on that budget to plan what to buy (bigger bouquet, better champagne, etc.) so I really willy willy hope no one on the list it's already uploaded will leave the project... If you're in but you changed your mind, please contact me as soon as possible (today basically ) And one last thing, I see Thursday is too late, so I will also close the list of participants on TUESDAY 7 at 18:00 GMT/UTC+2 (Spanish time) That's all for today! Off to bed now!!

Awesome! I'll add you!
