hmmm had no idea about that. i could be there as early as noonish. lol. thats about when i lined up for the roxy gig....

I lined up for the Roxy gig at around 3 pm, and I was like the 30-40th person in line. Were you at the beginning of the line? Did you get into the front row? I got into the 2nd row. Am going to try to be there in the early afternoon, but not sure exactly when. And does anyone know which entrance is the right one?

Thanks for posting!

Yeah, I want to know when everyone's going to start lining up. Want to know when I should head out there as well. And do we know which entrance we're going to be lining up in front of? I was scrolling through the other pages of the thread and I guess there are 2 entrances, a front and side entrance. Anyone know which one's the right one?

Does anyone know how long before each gig they deliver the special posters/VIP passes/etc to the lucky winners for each show? I think some who won for the gigs in Canada and Boston got theirs a few days before their gigs, but am not sure how long before. Anyone know? It'd be really exciting if some of us MFCers win for the LA gig.

so, is anyone bringing glow-in-the-dark-facepaint? wanted to look for some glow-in-the-dark stuff here in vegas, surely would've found something, but had no time to go shopping as i became ill, pfft. but hope i'll find some cool shops in LA as well. or maybe i'll just buy such glow-in-the-dark moon+stars stickers and stick them to my face with the make-up-glue.

 

decided on my outfit for LA, well if it's not too cold... i have this black-and-white-dress with different patterns, a bit similar to mika's jacket, and luckily i took it with me to the US, without knowing he'd wear such a black&white style. just hope then that there won't be too much pushing, as the dress is a satin fabric with some sequins on it that have already started falling off. oh well, but IF they fall off, the dress is nice also without them, so whatever.

and as i said, in addition to that, some glow in the dark stuff for my face. has anyone seen any glow-in-the-dark sequins yet? that would be perfect, but don't think it exists.

 

btw, who else thinks that he HAS to do good gone girl in LA? he sings about california, meaning LA with the movies and all... i just have to think of LA every time i hear that song, and it would be a shame if he didn't sing it there!

Oooo, glow-in-the-dark does sound very outer-spacey! Goes well with the theme! Great idea.

I think it would be reasonable for him to play Good Gone Girl. Ya, I totally agree with the California references! I hope he does.

ONE MORE WEEK!

7 days. 13 hours. 39 minutes. 45 seconds. WOOOO!!!

A little over one week

That time flew by....but this week is gonna DRAAAAAAAAAAAG on forever.

 

That's awesome, I didn't make it to that one...my last gig was when he was at the Wiltern in LA in 2008.

I agree. This week is going to last forever! But it's all going to be worth it!

I wasn't able to go to the Wiltern gig, but I heard it was a fantastic gig! The gig at the Roxy was acoustic and in a smaller setting, so it was a bit of a change. So this is gonna be my 1st gig with all the props, stage design, lights, etc. It's going to be amazing!!! :biggrin2:

Only 8 days, 2 hours, 34 minutes until doors open!!! WOO!!! Do you guys have any idea when you'll be lining up? Am going to get there in the early afternoon, but am not sure of the time yet.

Hahaha, the countdown for me began the day I found out the dates for the concerts.

 

YAYAY! What other gig did you go to?

Same for me! I remember when we had about 50 days left...Now only 8 days left!!! WOOHOO! I went to his Roxy gig back in April! Amazing 1st Mika concert! Cannot wait!

Only 9 more days! So much anticipation!

Let the countdown begin!!!! :roftl:

WOOHOO!!!

Hope to see some of you there as to I've never met any of the MFCers at any of Mika's concerts. This'll be my 2nd gig.

Cannot wait! 10 days. 1 hour. 43 mins. 5 seconds to be exact! Ha!

Am so excited for this gig! Sorry I didn't post anything in this thread before. Haven't met any MFCers at Mika's gigs before. It's going to be my 2nd Mika concert! WOOHOO! I had a quick question: What time do you guys think you'll be lining up in front of the venue? I called Live Nation and they said it was a standing venue and there's no reserved seating. They said the seat and row #'s on the actual ticket were just for them to keep track of how many tickets they have sold and that they have nothing to do with reserved seating. I waited in line at the Roxy back in April for about 4 hours before doors opened. When are you guys going to start lining up in front of the Palladium?

Hope to see some of you at the show! :biggrin2:

Spin's Music Editor Charles Aaron has named Mika's 'The Boy Who Knew Too Much' one of the "Fall Albums That Matter Most".

21 Fall Albums That Matter Most

Review by SPIN Magazine

MIKA

THE BOY WHO KNEW TOO MUCH (Casablanca/Universal)

Release Date: September 21

The Skinny: Though he sometimes seemed in danger of amusing himself to death on 2007's Life in Cartoon Motion (which sold five million copies worldwide), Mika Penniman's Technicolor cabaret pop earns its glee-club frolicking on this more fully realized follow-up. First single "We Are Golden" is a celebratory romp, but the undeniable, bleacher-stomping choruses don't stop there. Then the I-wish-I-was-Elton-John-so-bad-I'm-gonna-pee-my-hot-pants ballads finish you off.

Fast Fact: "We Are Golden" features the Andrae Crouch Gospel Choir, who refused to sing the line "Don't give it up when you're young and you want some."

Here's the link to the article: http://www.spin.com/gallery/21-fall-albums-matter-most?page=3#main

The page also posted Blame It On The Girls.

I can't find this widget anywhere. It looks so cool. Anyone know where I can find it?

It's Back!!!!! "And he's golden -- MIKA." Love the introduction!

Wait! Is it over? Now it's world news and Alan Carr just ended. Is he not playing Am confused!

"It didn't work for me on Winamp, but it worked on Windows Media Player."

I see. I'll try downloading it on my PC where I have Windows Media Player. Thanks for the help!

I'm not able to download the megaupload videos on my Mac. I waited 40 minutes for Part 1 to download, only to fine out at the end that it can't be played on my computer because it's not a movie file. Are there any other links that aren't only an mp3, but a video link? I'm hearing so much about how amazing the tv special was and I can't view it in the US. Want to see it soon! If anyone has a video link they think will work on my computer please let me know!

Here's the link to all the tour dates in North America!!!!!!

He's really whoring out those shoes:roftl: Thanks for posting, he's looking very nice as usual!

 

I hope he and the Wolf didn't get into a bitchfight and Mika had equipment thrown at him by the man on the loose:boxed:

 

Oh and another essential question...will it be available...in Europe or at least Holland?

I looked at the subscription page for the magazine online and almost all of the countries in the world are listed as being able to subscribe to the magazine online. But don't know if they have the magazine available on actual newsstands there. Hope this helps. Here's the link to subscribe to the magazine: https://www.cambeywest.com/pap/papnew.asp

is this a magazine in the usa too? thanks for posting

Yes, it is available in the US!

Christine: "Do we know when this is hitting the stands?"

The issue launches on September 8th

Here Mika is on one of the five different covers of PAPER Magazine's 25th Anniversary Issue! They decided to celebrate by placing a bunch of 25-year-old celebrities on the cover. (even though he's 26 now) Here he poses alongside Kid Cudi (he tweeted about this shoot a while ago). You can check it out on the front page of http://www.cocoperez.com for some time. Hope the picture I post works. This is my first thread.

Here's what Mr. Perez Hilton had to say:

In honor of their 25th anniversary, PAPER Magazine did five different covers, each with five fun and relevant 25-year-olds, including Alexa Chung, Greta Gerwig, Kelly Osbourne, Kid Cudi, Lydia Hearst, Melonie Diaz, Mika, Patrick Wolf, Zoe Kazan, and many more.

A few losers in the mix but mainly winners!

The PAPER Magazine 25th Anniversary Issue launches September 8th and the pub will be having a star-studded party that night in NYC.

Hope you can view the cover here: http://i.cocoperez.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/bcovers__oPt.jpg

I watched the Teen Choice Awards and went insane when I heard WAG at the intro! They actually played the instrumental version at least 10 times throughout the show. They played it as the transition to go into commercial and when they returned from commercial. Loved every second of it! Very proud of Mx!!! And yes, it's true, the Teen Choice Awards has always been very friendly to Mika himself.
