    Last CD I BOUGHT? or GOT?

    I work in a record store so I get CDs all the time. The last CD that I GOT was Paul Simon "Graceland" 25th Anniversary Edition, BUT the last CDs that I BOUGHT were Beatles "Please Please Me", Queen "Icon" & "Rock You From Rio Live", and 4 CDs from Squeeze "Squeeze", "Cosi Fan Tutti", "Sweets From A Stranger", & "Argybargy"...

    Wow, I think I might have to join a 12 step program...:wink2:

    When I looked over the weekend, it was around 75% PICK, but I just checked now and it's down to 66% PICK. I don't know how long they're going to leave it up there, but it seems like I can still vote. I guess it's only for the US, since all the rest of you are being redirected to your local Radio Disney site. :dunno:

     

    Well, since this is US only, I'm going to keep voting as often as possible!:thumb_yello:

    Hi Nicola, nice to meet you. I`m your fan, BTW)) I found your pics on Mika`s Facebook during a competition ( where I also sent mine) and I think you`re very gifted! I even posted a link to your pics on my FB webpage. They are great, my compliments to you. I love this combination of colour and a black pencil, I use the same method.

     

     

    I freaking love them!!!

     

     

    YEA! I have fans! Thanks...:blush-anim-cl:

    MINNEAPOLIS, MN: Varsity Theater - 2 April 2013 -- REPORTS/PICS

    First in line! Front and center! GREAT DJ set to start! GREAT show! Mika signed after! Talked to Curtis and Max as well! I will post everything after we get back home!

     

    So much to remember...

     

    Got first in line with my daughter Paige at 11AM. It was 32 degrees [that's literally the freezing point] and a slight wind. We had blankets and winter attire, so we tolerated it. GREAT coffee shop across the street. Publika, coffee, tea and pastries, PLUS they let us use the bathroom!

    Met Grace when she got in line with us just after 12. Sweetest girl...but she didn't dress for the wait, so we shared a blanket. Met Kevin when he showed just after 1:30.

    We watched them load the equipment in through the front door that was unlocked the whole time and I never once thought about rushing inside. Max showed up and I said 'hi', then Curtis showed up and I told him the front door was open and he thanked me and went in.

    Then Dierdre and her sister Ariel, Will and his sister Paige queued...we all talked and kept as warm as possible.

    An hour before the doors were to open, I took the chairs and blankets back to the car. As I was coming back across the street, I had one vehicle to avoid, a taxi, but I couldn't tell if it was going to stop or turn, so I started across the street anyway. As I came up to the side of the cab, I noticed the person in the back was sitting forward, so I bend down to look in. He turned and looked at me AND IT WAS MIKA! I waved at him politely and he smiled at me as the cab turned down the alley.

    Doors opened, we went in, got our perfect spot, and waited for Max and Curtis' DJ set. SO MUCH FUN! Eclectic song choices, fun fades and transitions, but the best part was watching them 'wing it' and laugh when it worked or didn't! They were doing what they wanted and looked like they had a blast doing it.

    Mika was, of course, great. Told stories, 'dressed up' for 'us' [or so he told us], and veered off the set list a bit. At one point he actually talked to me. He was asking who there was from MPLS and who was from STP. after the screaming stopped I yelled OMAHA! He looked at right at me and asked 'Omaha?' I'm sure he had no idea where that is. Then everyone else stared yelling their cities.

    The bit with the brand new, never before played Steinway piano was hilarious. The video posted captured it perfectly.

    The proposal from the audience was so sweet. Grace was standing to my right and this guy comes up behind her and holds up his phone for Mika to read. It said, "please help me propose." Mika held up a finger to show that he understood, but to wait. Right before he played OOL, he came up front, knelt down in front of the gentleman, and asked him some questions. What's her name, spell it, etc. He then stood up and asked if there was an Audra there. 2 women yelled. Mika then said, "well, we better make sure we get the right one." So he gave the mic back to the guy and he asked her to marry him. She cam through the crowd and hugged him. I guess that means yes? She then gave Mika a thumbs up and he went into OOL.

    After the show ended, one of the techs was clearing and my daughter asked [politely] for either Max's or Curtis' set list. So the guy grabbed the list, came over to her, and grabbed her hand while placing the list into it so no one could take it away. I thought that was cool.

    We then waited outside for about 45 minutes, watching the decoys leave from the alley. I know it was cold, but I was amazed that only about 25 stayed to see Mika come out. He came out the front door and signed, talked to us, but no pictures with us.

    We were about 10 people down the line, so he signed my daughter's setlist and ticket, then signed my ticket. My daughter told him that we enjoyed this show and the show in Chicago last Oct. He said that was his favourite show also. I told him that he gave a great show and thanked him.

    We took a step back and I looked down the sidewalk and noticed Max and Curtis walking out the theater, so I 'ran' over and got their attention. They both stopped and I told them that I wanted to let them know as well that I appreciated what they did. I said that I was disappointed that they left so quickly in Chicago and if I saw them here I was going to say something to them. We talked about the DJ set and how much fun they looked like they were having. I was so happy one of the songs they played was Queen. Max said something to the effect 'Sometimes you just gotta throw that $#!t DOWN!" They talked to us for about 5 minutes and then I realized that they were not wearing very warm coats, so I told them that I didn't want to keep them out in the cold any longer, thanked them again and said goodbye. We turned back to where Mika was signing and he was waving goodbye as well.

    We went back over to the fans we met in line and said goodbye to them as well, then left.

     

    I hope I didn't ramble too much? It was a perfect day, perfect show, and perfect people to be in line with us.
