Sivan Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Yeah...I wonder. But you know that in the 3 times I've met and spoken with him, I've had less and less of his voluntary attention. He's too preoccupied and less amused. As much as he appreciates his fans, its probably much more difficult now to get too close and he won't listen to a twat like me. I'd be suprised if he even remembered our last meeting. Although it may seem like a big deal to me (or us at the MFC) - he encounters fans by the thousands. I doubt he even makes his own schedule, but hey, maybe we can at least plant the idea in his head. I'd be curious to see his reaction to the question too. "Mika, if the fan club was able to pay you at your going rate, we wondered if you would consider holding a special, exclusive gig for MFC members only? " suz..he has a very good memory im sure he remembers u! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 suz..he has a very good memory im sure he remembers u! Yeah I agree. He doesn't meet thousands of fans. Even with the number in the hundreds there aren't that many people he's met 3 times or more. He even has tapes of your interview and the presentation of the yearbook and I'm sure he's seen your entry in the book as well. Even if he didn't recognize you immediately I'm sure it would take very little prompting. You were the only person he spoke to at the last concert. Anyway if Jerry is there maybe we could run it by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lollipop_monkey Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I would like to see him play a gig in London for a capacity of about 500 for MFC and give us a year's notice so people could come up with the money to travel. It's actually something we could probably go ahead and set up if we paid him his going rate and arranged it with his booking agent. Only problem be the venue and the massive coordination effort. That would be amazing. My rational side would not be able to talk my Mika-obsessed side out of something like that. I'd be there with bells on. Granted, I'd have to talk to my rich uncle - his name is Visa - but that's what rich uncles are for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babspanky Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Uncle Visa ... HILARIOUS !!!! ........ I don't have an Uncle Visa ..... Hmm, my sugar daddy Mastercard sounds a bit like your uncle! Christine is right, though this would take a lot of thought, co-ordination and organisation. Would he be cheaper acoustic, without the band? You'd have to have a proper treasurer, would he expect security to be supplied, we would certainly have to hire bouncers, would the venue supply that? Sorry, I'm jumping about all over the place here, just trying to remember what we discussed. ICA is a really nice little venue, it has a nice little bar as well. A lot would depend on how much he charges and where it's held - the more famous he gets the more he may charge, of course he might give us a good rate - but we couldn't bank on that. I have to confess, Kath, Abby, Rose and I discussed this after the Newcastle gig. We even drew up a provisional plan of action. We didn't get too far..... We were going to try to ask John, but we never really got the opportunity, and bearing in mind that I went to 4 gigs after Newcastle, it's not always that easy to get their attention. I don't know if Freddie knows anything........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elanorelle Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Yeah, that would break a lot of hearts. Even if we tried to psych ourselves into believing it was a blessing in disguise because we all get to meet eachother (ie. the Hammersmith cancellation), it would still be the biggest disappointment ever because of the investment and sacrifice that would be poured into it. that's why everything in Feb is going to happen on cue! yep! yep! that is all I ask!!!!!

ewokwicket Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 the only problem with Mika doing a private gig for the MFC is that we don't all live together. He'd have to do one in each country he went to and even then some countries are too big and some just don't get visited. And the boat trip? Please, can we have something without sun? As an Aussie who feels she get far too much of it, I'd rather go somewhere cool. I didn't think of this in the fantasy thread when you first put the idea up Suzy, but it's been crossing my mind since then. Sorry to everyone else who lives in cold places.... (Not that i can EVER see this happening, but it's a reeeeaallly nice thought.) Oh no! hot place, desert island, just me and Mika, too hot to wear clothes, my kinda place!

I don't know if Freddie knows anything........ I am sure there is no harm in asking .... probably Mika himself but also his managment etc ... I can see Mika wanting to do something like this but his 'staff' may not be so keen ..... i guess it is always worth a bash, as Suzy says so many poeple here that are very dedicated and capable ...

Mikafish Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 What have we got to lose by asking? I would love to be involved in this if it ever came together. Part of my job is to organise fundraising events so i do have some skills! One question tho, anyone have any clue what the "going rate" is?

kittie88 Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 This sounds like a fantastic idea! I would definitely be in! the best thing to do is to ask Mika and John, then if we get a maybe or a yes then we can start planning! Or maybe we should come up with a plan which ppl can show to them to show we mean business cos if someone jus turned up saying they want to do a gig then they wldnt be taken seriously but if u had a plan with figures and a possible venue, they would take u a lot more seriously!!! Contact venues, find out prices etc!! Thats my advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
