hello and welcome to the MFC

welcome to the MFC

bonjour et bienvenue ici

hello Marie-rose welcome to this fanclub

this is awesome news!!!

too bad i have to work all day tomorrow, so don't think i'll get to get tickets in presale

well i'll have to try to get some on thursday then, *fingers crossed*

Mika will be in Liege for a signing session at 12h30 rue du pont de l'Ile, 1 for those who can come

 

I'll be theeeere :naughty:

yeah, nope not for me! working.

I still think this is a bit weird anddd unfair... at least they can send emails to everyone, even if you didn't win.

well yeah, but that's life hun, life isn't always fair, so...

Same for me 2 / 6 friends of mine have received an Email (failed ...) 4 are still waiting :aah::aah:

i honestly don't think that we'll still receive something. think all e-mails have been sent out

congrats Claire and Machoefeltje

 

no news for me... no mail

is it right or wrong??

didn't get anything either, so i'm guessing, there's some people that won to actually go see him and some that didn't won to see him live there BUT win the chance to see it through a livestream.....

and others (like me) who didn't win anything at all (not that that surprises me , i don't win things, yeah if it's something small like a deck of cards or something, than i do stand a chance, but for bigger things, nope, never)

Maaaybe there is still hope then!

hahaha, yeah maybe... lol

Do you use Gmail? If so, check your reclame folder. Otherwise junk maybe.

no hotmail, but checked junkmail too

so some got e-mail to tell them they didn't win? or did i understand wrong?

i didn't get anything at all, so that's why i'm asking

Thank you Eriko

 

wow, that station is really beautiful!

it is really beautiful, i think that every time i step off of the train when i go to antwerp (which isn't very often, just when i have a day off and want to go shopping in antwerp instead of in ghent, or go see a musical or go to the zoo)

i also entered today... but those questions they ask at the end of competitions like that... "how many contestants..."

ah well, if i don't win i can't blame myself for not having tried right

DOOOON'T STOOOP BELIEEEEVINGGG:mf_rosetinted:

i'm not counting on it, plus if it's during the day and not in the evening, i won't be able to go anyway, cause of work

i am a customer, but with my amount of luck to win something...

plus i just won a deck of cards from the belgia red devils... meaning me winning anything at all in the near future is nonexistent

Obviously, I wasn't there but I can tell you about it and how Mika Fan Club fans happened to be there

 

For the benefit of our new members who may not realize it, Mika actually owns the domain MikaFanClub.com -- basically he owns MFC. The MFC Mod/Admin Team work very closely with his management team based in London. We're in contact with them several times a week, discussing various things that affect the fans -- sometimes competitions, ticket giveaways, meet and greets, and other things.

 

A few days ago, late in the day on Wednesday, we were asked to find 20 or so fans in the Antwerp area for some filming. At the time it was unclear whether Mika would actually be there, but we were asked to only invite fans who could be discreet. What does discreet mean? In this case, it meant fans who could be trusted to keep this filming to themselves and not discuss it publicly on social media or even privately with other fans who were not invited. It was important to keep this filming low-key for several reasons, mostly because it would not have been possible to film if dozens of screaming, crazed fans turned up uninvited.

 

The next day, we began to track down fans who we knew were from northern Belgium and the Netherlands who we thought might be able to commit to a full-day of filming on such short notice. We sent PM's here on MFC and also posted a message on the MFC Facebook page geotagged for Belgium. I began to go through and look for names I recognized as well as people who appeared to be in the Antwerp area. Many people didn't reply to me, some who did reply were unable to attend because they were on holiday, had to work or had other commitments.

 

Eventually, we came up with around 20 names of MFCers, both long-time fans and newer ones, who said they were absolutely positive they could make the filming. By that time, it was confirmed that Mika would be on hand for the filming! I gave everyone a lecture on keeping quiet about this filming and also on how to behave -- no one should crowd around Mika or beg for his signature or a photo, as it was all meant to be very relaxed and laid-back.

 

I sent the list of names to Mika's team, and they gave the fans more details on the filming, which lasted from noon until late in the day. It eventually turned out that the filming was for a commercial.

 

And of course by now you've seen all the photos and videos all over Twitter and FB so you know how the day went. It seems that everything went smoothly -- and I think everyone was able to have a little Mika time, taking a photo with him, or at least chatting a few words with him.

 

I wanted to take a minute here to stress that this all went off so well because the MFCers involved -- both those who ended up going as well as those who were asked but could not go -- understood how important it was to not blab all over the internet that something was going to happen in Antwerp this weekend. Of course, I know that some details leaked out because I received several messages from curious fans who had heard hints about "something." But overall, everyone understood that sometimes you do need to have some secrecy -- if it had not gone so well, it could very well have jeopardized our chance for future similar opportunities. So I wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you who honored our request to keep things to yourself.

 

You also probably understand now why I was asking everyone to update their location and ages in the user profiles. We really DO need to take a look at our demographics. But also if more chances like this come up in the future, it will be a lot easier for us to search on your locations and find you -- as much as I would like to know everything about every one of you, there is just no way I can! Also, sometimes these things have age limits (although this one didn't) and we need to be sure that you're over 16 or over 18 or whatever may be required.

 

Anyhow... that's my long answer to mine's question! If anyone has any specific questions, feel free to send me a PM.

happy to read it overall went good

too bad i had to work though

replying, just to be sure i filled in more or less the right location

we lost

but our team played well during this world cup, they can come back home with their head held high and no belgian will think the less of them. we're all very proud of our belgian red devils

They've got a tough match next though

yes they do, but if argentina plays again like they did their last match, i reckon we've got a chance

but even if they don't go through i think most of belgium will still be proud of our team

I thought you'd be pleased

 

And Costa Rica went through too

 

Unfortunately they have to play the Netherlands next

it's been since 1986 that we gotten further than the 1/8th finals

the whole of belgium was going crazy on tuesday, it was awesome

and they played a great match

Belgium's going through to 1/4 finals!!!!! :yay:

good to see you here again

here's some flemish radio stations:

MNM http://www.mnm.be

Q-music http://q-music.be

studio Brussel (maybe not really suited, more alternative station, but you never know right) http://www.stubru.be

radio 2: http://www.radio2.be/?gclid=COGJjLWagb8CFYTLtAodozAAbg

those are the biggest i think, if there's any others that some flemish people think off, just add them in the thread

As long as they don't play against our orange lions I am cheering for Belgium!

Go Rode Duivels!

the whole country seems te be going crazy for this evenings game, it's a loooong time ago that the whole of belgium stood behind a team like this, it feels great to be part of it and act a bit crazy too
