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/

Does anyone know if Mika's going to be the only artist, or will there be any opening acts? Thank you

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:

BTW, thank you Becks for your kindness  (we could safely catch a cab to get to our hotel). It was good speaking a little  to you (in french) you seemed very at ease with everyone! Thank you for your report and pictures of the gift!

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!

J'ai vraiment passé quelques jours de rêve dans cette magnifique et captivante ville qu'est Barcelone.

 

J’adresse un chaleureux merci à Mika qui nous a offert un concert époustouflant devant le palais royal de Pedralbes et ses jardins ! Merveilleuse soirée ! Belle ambiance !

 

Merci à Becks pour toute l'organisation et pour sa gentillesse. Je suis bien contente de voir les photos et les vidéos  

 

Je suis ravie d’avoir eu l’occasion de retrouver quelques fans et le plaisir de faire connaissance avec d'autres, de mettre des visages sur des noms, notamment Valérie et Alba

 

Je joins quelques photos prises avec mon portable.

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

THANK YOU BECKS! Thank you for this detailled report (it was worth waiting ), for the pictures and for your work to organise this in less than one week! Congrats to you! It was a pleasure meeting you, even if I didn't have much time to talk to you (due partly to my late arrival... bad organisation from my side!). I am so happy to read that Mika took his time to discuss with you, and thank you for giving us the details of that discussion!

 

And I hope to see you again soon, who know's in Spain, France or somewhere else?

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 

Podríamos preparar algo así de guay para el concierto de Octubre, que es un concierto que da ya él solo 

 

Y que aún tenemos tiempo para prepararlo! jajajaja

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!

so becks, should i bring the coloured paper i have at home for folding fans? i have about 30 sheets in a4 and 40 in a3 or so. and surprisingly, i still have room in my suitcase. anyway, if you say fans only for mfcers isn't enough to create a nice effect, then i'll leave them at home.

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

Hi! 5 € me too!

Thanks Priscila, and welcome to the MFC!! 

I'm on holiday,dunno how to do the money transfer to a bank,but I am totally in for the flowers.I hope I'll arrive in BCN on 9th,and meet someone for giving the money,but if I'll be late (on friday),please could you put the money for me? I really want to participate,but I'm on the road,and not having much internet access...

 

I think we should do the surprises during some new songs,maybe this way he'll understand that we want to hear more songs from the new album

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

Hola, ya se sabe si podéis hacer las sorpresas durante el concierto? Espero que si porque se nota que a Mika le gusta muchísimo, y disfruta como un enano cuando el público le sorprende a él. Yo no puedo ir, espero que después dejéis muchos comentarios aquí porque así será como estar allí virtualmente. De todas formas, por si os apetece, tenéis tiempo, y os parece buena idea, os dejo una sugerencia. Es algo que vi hace tiempo, y en ese mismo momento pensé que sería algo que quedaría genial en un concierto mikero. 

 

Lo vi en un contexto muy diferente, fue en una actuación infantil, los niños estaban en el escenario y los padres en el público llevaban unas flores hechas por sus hijos.  Algunas eran de  colores fluorescentes , destacaban y hacían un efecto muy bonito.  Yo misma las hice alguna vez y son muy fáciles de hacer,lleva muy poco tiempo, y es algo barato. En youtube hay mil ideas para hacer flores.  Os pongo el video más parecido que encontré para hacer este tipo de flores que vi yo.  La diferencia es que yo el tallo lo hice con pajitas de colores, porque así tiene más consistencia para agarrar la flor y levantarla hacía arriba en un momento determinado. El resto se puede hacer con cartulinas o con folios de colores. Yo lo hice con folios y queda perfecta. Con los fluorescentes destacaría más.

Por ejemplo , para que fuese lo más económico posible, con un paquete de folios de colores se harían un montón de flores.Y con una caja de pajitas también porque suelen traer muchas.El resto sería pegamento y tijeras. 

 

Os dejo el enlace, aunque después la combinación de colores y material quedaría a vuestro gusto, es solo para que veais como se hace.

 

 

Este también parece fácil de hacer:

 

A Mika le gustan mucho las flores y también  las cosas hechas a mano, y pienso que algo así le podría gustar. Tampoco es necesario que todo el público tenga una porque eso lleva mucho tiempo.Pero por ejemplo si los que vais haceis 5 o 10 cada uno, para repartir entre otras personas de las primera filas, pues ya hace un efecto muy bonito.

 

Sea lo que sea que tengáis preparado seguro que le va a gustar muchísimo,espero que lo paséis genial y ya nos contaréis.

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! 

I'm on with the bucket and all this stuff. I will drive from France with my family (we have 2 week trip), so I have no idea when we will arrive. But as soon as I arrive I will go to the venue, hope it will be no later than at 7 PM.

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

Good morning,

Becks, I'm the girl who replied you yesterday on twitter. I'm going with my sister so you can add me (Laura F.) to the list with 10€. Thanks

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!! 

I'm on with the bucket and alll this stuff. I will drive from France with my family (we have 2 week trip), so I have no idea when we will arrive. But ass soon as I arrive I will go to the venue, hope it will be no later than at 7 PM.

Awesome! I'll add you!
