Did you enter an email address for both people or just one?

When we applied for the MFC giveaway I wrote my email, and only my guest's name. 

 

I think my friend applied as well, so maybe Deb took her contact from her application and gave it to the Southbank Centre? I'll see if she gets an email too! 

  

Just received mine! But I'm supposed to have two tickets...

Did anyone win more than 1 ticket (yours + guest)? Did you get them separately or together in one email?

Maybe I just have to wait.. 

What surprises me the most is the sound of cicadas in November… you can hear them usually when it’s 30+ degrees, and looking at temperatures in Athens these days they’re around 17/20 degrees 🤔

If we're thinking of meeting up beforehand, there are a couple of cafes right there at Southbank Centre that might be good. Either the Hayward Gallery Cafe, or the Riverside Terrace Cafe. We can grab a sandwich or a drink and hang out, if it's not raining -- or maybe there's cover? In any case, I can be there from about 4pm on and see who turns up? Anyone?

 

I’d like to come as well, but I’m with Charline and theoretically she’s busy until 5:30 pm. We’ll see last minute if we can make it! 

I don't remember if this was clearly written from the beginning, but just in case I put it here: 

 

"Run times may vary by up to 20 minutes as they can be affected by last-minute programme changes, intervals and encores"

 

 

They expect only an extra 20 minutes? They seem very confident about recording times... wow

I am checking the train tickets for the 10th of November and I found an information about strikes. Not only trains but the underground  in London as well.

 

https://tfl.gov.uk/campaign/strikes

 

 

For trains (I will arrive to Gatwick airport). The 10th of November is a day after RMT strike day. So it may be some problems especially in the morning.

 

 

 

 Oh no.. There’s a strike in Paris as well on the 10th, so it’ll be an adventure to get to the train station, but at least I hoped to get rid of it by going away.. well… 🤦🏻‍♀️

I wrote to the customer service a few days ago in Italian but I also got an automatic answer, even if longer than Pascale’s one.

 

What I found out is that only events with >5000 spectators are meant to have this name system. 
In each event on ticketone there’s a yellow box with “name changes” related info only if the event must follow this system. 
For example, the Rome theatre event doesn’t have it so I guess it isn’t mandatory to change/have a name on the ticket; whereas  I did it for the Arena di Verona and it worked well. 
 

Here’s part of the answer they gave me which proves what I'm saying:

I think the coloured lights give a better effect in the back, because in the front you have the stage lights.

Anyway, I'm not sure what song to do it for... I looked at the pix of the last Carcassonne fanaction and it wasn't dark yet for the 2nd song - which OOL would be, that's what we originally had the rainbow for. I just looked, sunset in Carcassonne is at 21:22, so if Mika starts at 21:00, maybe for Tiny Love it'd work but later would be better. Not sure if it's good for Underwater, because we always have the "stars" there, and the lights aren't as bright with the paper. Might be a nice surprise for Mika, or a not-so-nice one if he expects the usual bright lights, I'm not sure. 😅 Or Happy Ending? Any ideas/opinions on this? Maybe I'm overthinking and it would be ok for OOL? 

 

I also thought of OOL (like Bercy), firstly because it fits well with the song, but also because I think it's easier to tell people to do it "during the second song" (for those who don't necessarily know titles rather than saying a higher number like 'the tenth song' which is easy to forget + at the beginning the FA information is still fresh in people's minds).  

 

But it is also true that it won't be dark yet... I don't know, if it's easier we can still do it for OOL imo

Would anyone be up for helping me distribute the papers?

I like your idea too! If you decide to do it, I’m willing to help distributing them! 

I’m linking here @Romy04’s message about another Fan Action she was organising for Carcassonne:

 

As she has written, enough eyes have already been done, so no need to do more! It was just an information to let everybody knows. 

 

 

Still available for tomorrow’s show:

where and what is that?

Zooming one of these stories by Mika’s musicians I saw the bank Crédit Agricole symbol, so maybe a private event.

And according to the sound engineer’s story (@/marzia_brini, who’s apparently on tour with the whole team) they’re in Reims at ReimsArena. 

Thread for discussing Bolero, Mika's song collab with Baby K

Would love to get a transcript of the lyrics, if any of the Italian speakers has time for it.

 

Here's the lyrics (source: https://www.canzoniweb.com/bolero-testo-baby-k/)

 

Ti riconoscerei lo stesso, anche qui
In fondo a certe notti, o con un foulard sugli occhi
Il tuo sguardo era il mio specchio e ci vivevo dentro
Ora siamo un faro spento, nel buio più violento
E adesso tu

 

Ci pensi mai, a qualche anno fa?
Noi come luce e ombra
Nello skyline di questa città
Mi perdo un po’ con Afrodite, fari, onde

 

Seguo solo un bagliore
Un soffio, una vibrazione
Balla bolero il cuore
E’ l’unica percussione

 

Tutta l’estate che manca
E’ in una goccia di vino che bagna le labbra
E dove sei? Dimmelo tu
Ti aspetterò dove il sole incontra il leone
Senza parole, dov’è il tuo nome?
Trova il mio nome, la notte ci muove
E mi rimane la sensazione
Se il sole passa mi lascia il calore

 

Mm, dimmi che cosa ti fa paura
E se nel tuo cielo si arrampica ancora la luna
Se il bianco e nero è una sfumatura
E mentre mi guardi come nessuno mi lasci andare
Sai farmi male, davvero

 

Ci pensi mai, a qualche anno fa?
Un bacio nella pioggia
Cosa ci fai, in quella città?
Io sono qui con Afrodite, fari, onde

 

Seguo solo un bagliore
Un soffio, una vibrazione
Balla bolero il cuore
E’ l’unica percussione

 

Tutta l’estate che manca
E’ in una goccia di vino che bagna le labbra
E dove sei? Dimmelo tu
Ti aspetterò dove il sole incontra il leone
Senza parole, dov’è il tuo nome?
Trova il mio nome, la notte ci muove
E mi rimane la sensazione
Se il sole passa mi lascia il calore

 

Se fino a ieri era tutto sbagliato
Inizia con un bacio, non sprecare il fiato
Dalla mia e la tua parte, dimenticarsi è un’arte
Ed il mio cuore è ancora come lo hai lasciato

 

Tutta l’estate che manca
E’ in una goccia di vino che bagna le labbra
E dove sei? Dimmelo tu
Ti aspetterò dove il sole incontra il leone
Senza parole, dov’è il tuo nome?
Trova il mio nome, la notte ci muove
E mi rimane la sensazione
Se il sole passa mi lascia il calore

 

Balla bolero il cuore
E’ l’unica percussione

 

Litteral EN translation:

I would still recognise you, even here
At the end of some nights, or with a scarf over my eyes
Your gaze was my mirror and I lived in it
Now we are a switched off lighthouse, in the most extreme darkness
And now you 

 

Do you ever think about it, a few years ago?
Us as light and shadow
In the skyline of this city
I get lost with Aphrodite, lighthouses, waves

 

I only follow a flash
A breath, a vibration
The heart dances a bolero
It is the only percussion

 

All the summer that is missing
Is in a drop of wine that wets the lips
And where are you? Tell me
I'll wait for you where the sun meets the Leo
Without words, where is your name?
Find my name, the night moves us/let us move
And I'm left with the feeling
If the sun passes by it leaves me warm

 

Mm, tell me what scares you
And if the moon still climbs in your sky
If black and white is a shade
And as you look at me like no one, you let me go
You really know how to hurt me

 

Do you ever think about it, a few years ago?
Us as light and shadow
In the skyline of this city
I get lost with Aphrodite, lighthouses, waves

 

I only follow a flash
A breath, a vibration
The heart dances a bolero
It is the only percussion

 

All the summer that is missing
Is in a drop of wine that wets the lips
And where are you? Tell me
I'll wait for you where the sun meets the Leo
Without words, where is your name?
Find my name, the night moves us/let us move
And I'm left with the feeling
If the sun passes by it leaves me warm

 

If it was all wrong until yesterday
Start with a kiss, don't waste your breath
On my side and yours, forgetting each other is an art
And my heart is still as you left it

 

All the summer that is missing
Is in a drop of wine that wets the lips
And where are you? Tell me
I'll wait for you where the sun meets the Leo
Without words, where is your name?
Find my name, the night moves us/let us move
And I'm left with the feeling
If the sun passes by it leaves me warm

 

The heart dances a bolero
It is the only percussion

 

 

Litteral FR translation:

Je te reconnaîtrais toujours, même ici
Au bout de certaines nuits, ou avec un foulard sur les yeux
Ton regard était mon miroir et je vivais dedans
Maintenant, nous sommes un phare éteint, dans l'obscurité la plus extrème.
Et maintenant tu

 

Est-ce que tu penses jamais à il y a quelques ans ? 

Un baiser sous la pluie

Qu'est-ce que tu fais dans cette ville ? 

Je suis là avec Aphrodite, les phares, les vagues

 

Je ne suis (suivre) qu'une lueur 

un souffle, une vibration

le coeur danse du boléro

c'est la seule percussion 

 

Tout l'été qui manque

C'est dans une goutte de vin sur les lèvres

Et toi t'es où ? Dis-le moi

Je t'attendrai là où le soleil rencontre le Lion

Sans mots, c'est où ton nom ? 

Trouve mon nom, la nuit nous fait bouger

Et il me reste la sensation 

Si le soleil passe, il me laisse la chaleur 

 

Mm, dis-moi ce qui te fait peur
Et si la lune grimpe encore dans ton ciel
Si le noir et blanc est une nuance
Et lorsque tu me regarde comme personne, tu m'as laissé partir
Tu sais vraiment comment me blesser 

 

Est-ce que tu penses jamais à il y a quelques ans ? 

Un baiser sous la pluie

Qu'est-ce que tu fais dans cette ville ?

Et il me reste la sensation 

Si le soleil passe, il me laisse la chaleur 

 

Si tout était faux jusqu'à hier
Commence par un baiser, ne gaspille pas ton souffle 
De mon côté et du tien, oublier est un art
Et mon cœur est toujours comme tu l'as laissé

 

Tout l'été qui manque

C'est dans une goutte de vin sur les lèvres

Et toi t'es où ? Dis-le moi

Je t'attendrai là où le soleil rencontre le Lion

Sans mots, c'est où ton nom ? 

Trouve mon nom, la nuit nous fait bouger

Well I don't remember he used the word STUDIO. But he said he was going to NY for one day: go to the airport, does a soundcheck, sleep a little then he records something for a special event which has not been announced yet.

It was in RADIO RTL 102.5 from the 24th of May.

 

 

Exactly, so I guess they recorded this interview when he was in Milan for RTL 102.5 and that he said “next weekend” meaning this weekend (tomorrow) and then back to Paris as he said at RTL

Tomorrow at 11am on Italian radio:

 

It was pretty long (1h more or less with songs and ads). He talked about Eurovision, the Italian tour, some funny anecdotes and something about future projects. He actually said he’s going to record Yo-yo music video from Thursday on and he’s going to be the director (together with a team) for the first time,  because the original director had “migration problems” and wanted to do everything on Zoom but it was too complicated.

Then he’s going to fly to NY for just one day, do some soundcheck for a “special” that they haven’t announced yet and finally coming back to Paris for other projects.

It’s less than three weeks until Disney Pride! I suspect he is attending his brother’s wedding in the next week or the week before Disney 

I rather thought he would spend the next two weeks in the desert (?) as he mentioned in his IG live + Adam was staying at Mika’s house and posted a story the other day saying “goodbye see you in two weeks in NY” to one of his friends 
who knowsss
