kath Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Yeah we have been on one or two little jaunts in the middle of the night in search of food haven't we? To get back on topic, remember we ordered take aways in Glasgow haha. No...........I was in bed with Carri:naughty: OMG...I've been thinking about this day all day long and wishing I was there again. It's so funny...I log on and this is the first thing I see. I just remember being so nervous and excited and everything else. It's funny to think that he's my my neighborhood right now. Or is he back there? I have no clue. LOL Hi Charlie:wub2: So pleased you are here............it was brilliant wasn't it:mf_lustslow: It was a great night the night before.And how the heck did Mika know we'd been up 'til 4am clubbing? Never did figure that out! Oh Rose.....................Andy filmed people telling him all about it before the gig and he went straight back and showed it to Mika...........I do hope you haven't spent a year wondering:naughty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sariflor Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 BUMPITY BUMP!!!Tonight is the 1 yr anniversary of the Glasgow show. The night where so many nationalities joined together for the first time, in appalling weather. But nobody cared! The sign on the front of the venue said "MIKA SOLD OOT" which set the fun tone for the night. We were singing Mika songs in the pouring rain, everyone in tartan, FD in his legendary Braveheart outfit! Andy came out in a lull in the rain and filmed us. The gig was outstanding, the band wearing Scottish football tops, Martin wearing his so proudly, to celebrate Scotland playing down the road. Mika was fanastic, despite being plagued by a dodgy throat during the European leg, he was so excited to be there. After, we had a meet up with the big guy, where Wendi gave him the Make MFC Official petition, which he graciously excepted. Then we all made our way back to the hotel and hung out to wind down and talk about the amazing night. I met lots of terrific people that night, and I'll never forget it. Didn't Andy go back inside as soon as it started raining really hard? Glasgow was fun. And we shared the front left side, I remember having Deb to my right and Rose to my left. And the American gals right behind. Good times!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sariflor Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 How come I don't remember seeing you? Which hotel were you at? I was still a bit shy at the time and only chatted to a few people, you guys kinda intimidated me . By the time I booked we could only find one that was slightly further out, one of these Travelodge thingies. I can't remember the detail, but I missed the fri night cause we found really bad traffic driving up from London and only got to Glasgow around 1 am or so.....It was a bit of a shame.

RAK1 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Babs; that was you me and Jems who had the takeaway in our room. Kath; yes, for a whole year I have been wondering how he knew.

charlottechristy Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 It was so Brilliant! That was definitely the highlight of my year and this year. Thank God for that weekend. I remember meeting you for the first time at the restaurant while waiting on the rest of the clan to show. Hi Charlie:wub2: So pleased you are here............it was brilliant wasn't it:mf_lustslow: Yes, he is and when I was younger, I used to walk by that recording studio all the time wondering who was recording. Good thing I'm not younger now...........I think Mika would be tired of seeing my face showing up there. LOL! It was great meeting you too. Oh, BTW- I got the cutest pinguin shirt this weekend. I think he's in your neck of the woods right now hun ;-)It was great to meet you that weekend, as well as Debs and Tooch. Gee, I have no idea why you would ever remember that moment. LOL!!!

I knew that someone would have something to say about that . I swear that it took me a while to open up to the whole large group thing.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. This is how Dusseldorf on 031107 was for me: I just decided to go on the spur of the moment, having only met one of the girls once I think (Queenie).

I was fairly new to the forum then, but I remember reading avidly about this gig. We were anticipating Mika coming to Aus in the March at that stage and it just added to the excitement of what you were all reporting...
