One more thing before I TRY to settle in for bed.

Was that honey I smelled at the opening of the show? It wasn't just me who noticed it either. Music, puppets, balloons, confetti, dancers, shirtless Mika... and a lovely honey scent? Talk about a sensory overload!

So afterwards, a little group of us went to wait for him to come out and talk to us and stuff. So we lined up at this one side door that led right into the venue. But the staff woman that was at that door said that there was NO WAY Mika would come out of that door. She guaranteed it. But the door was open and we could see Mika inside with fans. Andy was filming and the band was there too. So it was extra frustrating because we could see him for the whole time we were outside in the lovely 10 degree weather waiting for him. Justine (juju27) saved the day though, because she found a way to get back inside, which we were told was impossible to do. Apparently she told the security people a sob story and they let her back in :roftl: She talked to Mika's manager (I think?) and he told her that Mika would come out to see us in a few minutes. It had only been like a half an hour, and Mika came straight out that door that the woman had guaranteed he wouldn't come out of :naughty:

 

There weren't that many of us at all, and I think we all got what we wanted signed and everything. He was in a good mood and gave out hugs to everyone who asked. Justine even kissed him on the cheek! Another thing, a different security guard guaranteed us Mika wouldn't take pictures because he needed to get out fast. But Mika took pictures with everyone who asked :thumb_yello:

 

My friends and I had a stuffed Snoopy that we had gotten for him. We put a cape on it, because Mika said if he could be a superhero, he'd be Snoopy. And the cape was made of a MN flag because Snoopy's from St. Paul. When I got to talk to him, I said, "Mika, we have a present for you!" and he saw it and got this really happy look on his face and said "Snoopy!!!" and took it from me. I said, "And you said that if you could be a superhero, you'd be Snoopy" and he was like "yes I would!" and I said "so we put a cape on him." he said he loved it and had seen us waving it around during the concert. I asked him for a hug and got the first hug of the night :punk: He also signed my ticket.

 

I took a few pictures but it felt really awkward because there were so few people and we were so close to him that I thought it would be rude, but he didn't seem to mind.

 

He's such a sweetheart! :wub2:

It really is such a thrill to see MIKA go on stage everywhere and have the audiences know all his songs.

And welcome to all newbies joining us to report first and foremost, feeding our insatiable desire for more and more and MORE MIKA!!:wink2:

Great (unbelievably early!) reports and pictures; the power of the internet frightens me at times like this :naughty:

 

In many ways I enjoy reading about these smaller concerts more, the ones where there are fewer MFCers, as it's just easier to keep up with the reports, and also I like reading the Newbie posts, they are always so enthusiastic and positive.

 

Thanks everyone:thumb_yello:

Great reports, liked the story about Martin debating coffee shops, ha ha!

Hope Mikas mouth is okay, hitting yourself in the face is a bit embarrassing.

Good that they did a signing after, still feel sorry for the Chicago crowd not getting one but the weather can be a real pain, as Midway State can definitely testify to. Guess they'll go straight to SLC, so a full show there then.

Like Mikas hat, makes him look like a fisherman, ha ha.

Oh thank you all SO much for the reviews, pics, and video!!

 

Welcome to the newbies--I've just joined this year as well. This North American tour is definitely going to bring in a lot of new fans. :thumb_yello:

 

And lastly, I'm VERY glad to see Mika still has LadyGodiva's bracelets on. :mf_lustslow: It's been over a week now!
