RAK1 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Today at this time, exactly 1 year ago, myself, Bexxy and Sandi began to undertake what, to me, was the most nervewracking (to begin with) drive of my life! We had arranged with Andy the night before, to bring him with us to Doncaster (at one stage during the conversation it was suggested we might have another passenger, but thankfully, for my nerves, that didn't happen), so he was at our hotel at 9.30am, and got us to dress in our costumes, yes I drove to Donny dressed as a penguin! The rest is already documented here. Even now,a year on, I still can't get my head around why it happened. In the end, once we got going and I settled into it, I enjoyed it immensely, but I still don't understand the whole saga of filming me in a silly costume! Guess I'll never know! The build up to the show was fun, all of us dressed up in Christmas costumes. I changed into a Snowman when we got there. In the queue, we met the young lady who made the MFC quilt, who came with her mum. The quilt later had pride of place on the stage round Cherisses drum kit, it looked fantastic. Mikas hair that night to me looked gorgeous, but the curlylocks fans didn't seem to like it, and he hadn't curled it. This was the night also where Andy used his powers of persuasion on me again to go to Newcastle. I don't know why they wanted me there, but found myself agreeing to go, again. I'm so weak! LOL!

RAK1 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I bet it didn't take that much persuation . So I did dream about Doncaster . Funnily, it did take a bit of persuading. He asked before the gig, and during the gig and it wasn't until after that I decided to go. And then I thought I'd missed my chance to tell him I would, when he flew across the car park, so I waved him down and told him I'd be there, so he said my name would go on the list.

kath Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Yeah we had some weird people near us too.........arguing....all very odd.........all very un Mikagigish:shocked: I just found it odd because I was used to taking my kids to that venue to swim, ice skate etc....it seemed VERY odd to see Mika there........in a gym:shocked:However..............I have to say that I don't actually remember Mika's hair looking different but come to think of it, in the 'after pics' it is straight. This was also the one where a couple of us sort of ended up (quite by chance:naughty:) in a sort of stalkerish position of watching Mika from outside..........through a large window...........whilst he was just walking around from room to room, getting his coat etc...............I felt somewhat guilty but strangly, I couldn't drag myself away! Rose.............I can't believe it is a year:shocked: Thanks for the write up:thumb_yello: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sariflor Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Doncaster was a bit weird, yes, the venue kinda crappy as a gym type thing, but Niki, Droopsy and I had the fantastic front row center position, so that was quite all right . This was the gig when DaMastah suddenly jumped from the stage into the pit, and while I was looking down fumbling with my camera (as I saw a good close-up-pic-photo opportunity) suddenly I felt a tug on my arm, and next thing I know I see Mika right in front of me, standing on the barrier. It turns out he was using my arm to pull himself onto the barrier, nearly giving me a heart attack in the process (I wasn't expecting it ) Then, suddenly, I noticed that as he was leaning towards us, the audience, my hand had landed on his (very sweaty) stomach, and I pulled it away in horror at the realisation of my fangurl moment . This was the pic that I took of that moment: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well everytime I used the bag that I had that night bits kept dropping out. I was finding them all over. Sometimes a bit embarassing!

Yes, it was funny but very unexpected so it caught me totally off guard when I realised that he was on top of me . Niki still complains that I screamed like there was no tomorrow and it hurt her ears. Ok, what's all this about the confetti?
