Tic-Toc, goes the clock. 6 more days. I am so excited! 6 years it's been. 

I've been looking for things to wear to concerts and found this adorable hat on Etsy. It's sold out, but for you crafty types, I'm sure you could make one similar.

 see that place in the front?? That's mine.  

I'm so very, very excited for my Mika tour. Just like the Deadheads used to follow the Dead around, I'm following Mika around. I have tickets to every concert here in the states. I'm looking forward to seeing all of you. I haven't been on the East coast or Canada for years. 

No fan pre-sale? Probably because we bought them all. I arrive on the 12th in NYC and could go to this one too. I guess they are available tomorrow at 10 am Eastern time. 

I can't wait. Bring cake. Lol.. Your creations are beautiful. I might even have to nudge Patty. A reunion! Light up jewelry, glitter ... silly string. He's so huge in Europe now,  small venues like this.. rare, if at all. Am I right? Asking others... 

Gosh it's been forever since I've been over here, but that doesn't mean I have ever stopped loving Mika and finding happiness through his songs. Soooo, since he hasn't been in the US in ages and I'm at a point where I can do this.... I have tickets to all 5 shows - NY, two in Montreal, one in SF and one in LA. A Mika tour, just like a Deadhead following the Grateful Dead on tour. I've got my flights and airbnb's booked. 

Since both of my adult kids now live in Europe, I'm also hoping to catch a few shows when I'm visiting them. With a new grandbaby, I'll be over a lot.  

When I first started following Mika he had less than what, 30, 000? 25,000 followers on Twitter. I hope I get a chance to meet him again and he doesn't hurt his frigging foot and have to hold back performing. 

WTF?? I'm listening to BBC Radio 1, Grimmy is talking about Steven Tyler and not recognizing him and then another announcer says, someone came up to him on the street and wanted a picture because they thought he was "the fading popstar Mika"... I'd like to smack whomever it was that said that. Must be some kind of breakfast show plug or something.

I just realized that if my daughter goes to school in Berlin I can plan to visit her around Mika concerts!!! Woot!!!

No special powers! Just happened to get lucky. After how this year started out, I need something good to happen. Now... when is Mr. Mika going to come back to the US??

I got my limited edition one today!!!! I called all over the states and made a friend at the Pentagon/VA/DC Swatch store and he got one for me, called me immediately and it should be on it's way to me now!!!!!

Swatch US told me yesterday that they are sold out (the 50 extra coming to states) and are already pre-sold. If someone cancels, you might be able to get one.

I am so frigging happy!! I now will have both of them!!!

Was me that posted on the Swatch FB page. They replied Nov 19/20 will be available in the states/webshop. I'm just going to put a reminder on my calendar and call/order then.

I like the blue one!

Dear Mika,

After having a 100% crappy day yesterday, I had a terrific dream that I got to see you in concert again and you were chatting with me throughout the show. It was so fun. I really needed a good happy dream.

Your italien is coming along very nicely.

Best wishes for continued success!

Posting pics over under my profile. Having a tad trouble uploading to MFC.

Try here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10151547040475973.1073741826.633510972&type=1&l=8cd0559373

Really quick.

Awesome. He played all three new songs, I don't even know the names of them, but Century Man was played. We got him to play longer!! He played Lola, Rain, Over my Shoulder, which was beautiful. He sang Elle Me Dit auf french!

Met lots of neat people. Took pics, phone then of course, died. We queued after show and Mika came out real fast and signed/hi-fived etc.

Manager was grumpy. Took a look at all of us in the alley, said, ****! and then went back inside.

I totally forgot to say anything to him about the MFC. /bad me.

Such a small venue, it was great. Mama Penniman was there as well.

T-shirts for sale. Minimal sizes & no tour specific t-s... ie, pic of him on piano/intimate show. Cash only, no credit cards, but oh the ATM machine is right there for a $3.00 fee.

He was looking forward to his day off.

Absolutely lovely show. Pics later, it's almost 1 a.m. & I have to work tomorrow. I hope it's not another 3 years or so until I see him again.

Now I'll pass him on to the next city. Enjoy!

What time to queue, what time to queue, that is the question. Has Mika ever played Denver before? I know it's sold out but there are only 36 or so on FB that have said they are coming. I'm trying to decide which glitter shoes to wear. I'm afraid I'm going to cry if he sings Over My Shoulder.

got the year wrong. Seems like even longer ago.

Ok. I guess I will be representing the MFC at the show as I see no other posts here. I am sooooo excited. Haven't seen Mr. Mika since 2008. Am absolutely thrilled.

5 more times sleeping and then!!! it's MIKA TIME!!!

sqweee!!! You are playing on Easter for me! And you have days off before your next gig. Wouldn't it be cool if Prince was in town and you could go to Paisley Park and sing with him??? He has so much unreleased music.

Please let me know if you need any local information for your visit to Denver. Its okay to have to suck down oxygen while performing at this altitude but if you're in good cardiovascular shape, you'll be fine. You could go visit the Stanley Hotel from The Shining. Or come to my favourite comic store in Boulder. Go visit Vail or Aspen. There is a music studio, name failing me now, where Elton John recorded one of his albums. We have a bicycle sharing program here and lots of paths.

I'm partial to Boulder where I live. Lots of open space, more individual houses than cookie cutter communities. Very active. Counting the days!!!!

It's been far too long.

How wonderful.

I gave him some AstroBoy comics and other comics when I saw him in Chicago. Also, at that time he was "underwear boy" so I sent him some cupcakes before the show.

The Denver Bluebird theatre show is sold out!!! 21 more days!!!

Best. News. Ever! Now to decide if I drive to Utah for the show before Denver or not.... or maybe San Fran.

So very, very excited to see Mika again. Gets the Silly String ready...)

Also: stripped down band - means not full band. Maybe just 3 people, maybe just two.

Hi Mika,

You are so lucky to have a family that loves you. Mine doesn't. My mother died. My father doesn't want anything to do with me. I'm an only child. I am hurting so badly.
