Nollaig

Thanks everyone!

Hello

 

Welcome back. It's nice to see another Irish fan here. There are so few of us. Did you see him perform on Arthur's Day?

Hi Teresa! No I didn't, because I'm living in Cork. I've a friend who works for TG4, he interviewed Mika on Arthur's Day, and I figured if Mika was doing interviews on Arthur's afternoon in Dublin, he was probably performing there. Did you see him? I'm hoping if he does an Irish show with the new album I'll get to see him then - I've never seen him live!!

I haven't been here in a loooong time, so I figure I'll say howdy again because there's probably a ton of new faces since the last time I was here! Is anyone I remember still here?!

Anyway, I'm Noll, I'm 24, Irish and I've been a fan of Mika's for years, but a desire to talk about the new album inspired me to get posting on here again. And I'm determined to stick around this time!

Man I haven't been here in a long time... wonder if anyone I remember is still here? Hello fellow Irish Mika fans

I love this thread! *Subscribes*

I NEED to do my LICM suit picture... I have one for TBWKTM, which I did for the yearbook, some people may or may not remember it:

but I'm actually going to re-do it in a different pose (more forward-facing) to match the similarly forward-facing pose I have in mind for my LICM one.

Thanks so much to everyone who uploaded videos and photos - it's great to see a bit of what I missed, even if I'm so much more gutted now that I couldn't go. Watching 'My Happy Ending' now and it's actually making me a little teary. Still have my ticket here and all.

That's a shame you can't go Nollaig.

I'm feeling more and more gutted by the day. But I just can't afford accomm.

I still have one for Dublin Feb 15th standing too.

It had been a while since I listened to this album prior to today, and I just fell in love with it all over again. I think, coming at it afresh, Pick Up Off The Floor is probably my favourite overall and Toy Boy in terms of his style alone, but it changes so often!

Yup it's fine, I just can't afford the travel and accommodation after Christmas, I thought I would, but I ended up going to two gigs since I bought the ticket and now just can't afford it.

I'm not gonna be able to make it to the gig I bought a ticket for, so if anyone wants a ticket for Dublin: February 15th, ground floor standing, let me know.

Hi guys! Anyone miss me?

I've been absolutely DYING with (swine) flu.

No, I kid, it was normal flu. I am not a biohazard, I swear.

I've been online but in a vegetative state, not even talking to anyone on msn.

So what have I missed?! How're the exams going, anyone doing them?

Other than being sick, I've taken on NaNoWriMo (write a short novel in 30 days - really bad idea when I'm so busy, but there you go) and also the book forum I moderate/review for has nabbed an interview with John Connolly (Irish author? Anyone? No?), which falls to me to write/sort,while trying to sort one I've already got going.

I'm kinda repressing the knowledge of everything I have to do.

Catching up on this forum, I've been m.i.a for ages.

A musical composition a friend of mine made for the score of some movie his girlfriend has a small part in. Completely in love with it.

Tired, shivery, sniffley, generally icky. Stupid cold.

 

Ooh, I'd love to see it when you're finished

Ask and you shall receive!

Rain has gone considerably up in my estimation since I saw the awesome video that now accompanies it

Love it. Love love love it. Way more than BIOTG. Yeah, the people are a bit strange, but there's always going to be something strange in his vids, and I really like this video.

Oh my God I didn't even know this video was out til I got an email just now! Where have I been?!?!

Going watching it now!

I only just learnt this gig is over 18s?!

 

I hope everybody is sorted one way or another...

Over 18's if you don't have a guardian, right...? Isn't OrdinaryGirl like 14, but going with her mum?

OMG we have a flag! That rules. Can I see a picture??

Trust me. There will be no massive (or even tiny) gaps near the barrier at a Mika gig!

I sorta guessed that

But realistically, I won't actually mind not being near the front. I'd rather be in the middle with a bunch if MFC-ers than alone at the front, you know?

We should totally make an MFC flag and bring it with us. There's people flying in from HOW many countries for this gig? It's a major event!

I really have no idea what to expect of this gig. Most gigs I go to, I'm sitting. The only three standing ones I've been too are Velvet Revolver and Goo Goo Dolls x 2. The Goo Goo Dolls gigs were epic, I was nowhere near the front of the queue for either gig, but everyone just sorta moseyed in, and I just walked right up to the barrier both times, there were massive gaps and no one filling em. It was great.

He bit you :roftl:

'Bad Mika, that's BOLD!' :roftl:

I dreamt about Mika last night but I don't remember what happened in it.

I'm standing. Front row. Just anyone try and stop me

I actually keep forgetting about this gig (coz I very, very rarely go to gigs, like one every year or two years) and then I remember and I'm like,

OH YEAH!!!!
