Oh I totally will. It would be really depressing if it all washed out. :[

 

I didn't even really think we'd actually get to meet him! We probably should have taken a shirt with us for him. I was so unprepared. I didn't even have a sharpie! Someone gave one to me, but Mika came out with his own. Ha, I never did give her the sharpie back, I totally forgot!

 

Don't worry about it. There's always a next time :wink2:

Thanks! I'm going to have to tell my friend that everyone loves them. :)

 

Saw them! Thanks everyone :)

 

If you do make Mika a t-shirt or two he will wear them.

Just think how excited & proud you would feel to see Mika wearing your t-shirts??

Ahh, the thoughts of next time... :wub2:

Next time I hope I can get a picture with him and maybe a hug. :blush-anim-cl:

I'd be so incredibly happy I think I'd probably just faint.

We were thinking about making him a shirt since he loved it so much and sending it to him. Does anyone have any info about how to send things to him? It would be great if you could PM about it! Thanks! :D

 

Great photos, thanks for sharing! :thumb_yello:

 

As for sending Mika stuff, take a look in our FAQ (link is in my sig below).

There are two addresses, one in NYC and one in London -- if you send

something there to his management team, he'll get it! :biggrin2:

hi, all

 

the Philly show was fantastic!!! I loved the venue, didn't know it was actually a former factory and found that so cool... Arrived early for the queue and could get in the front row just to find an electrified Mika on stage... nothing can replace a GA Mika concert... security there was also noticeably nicer than at the United Palace...

 

Hope you enjoy the pics, I'll try to post the NYC and Philly vids soons

Thanks, Blue Sky! Yes, please, post away. I only don't do it myself because somehow I can never succeed in attaching the pics to my postings... I've tried in different computers and browsers... is it because I'm a PC?:teehee:

 

Hahaha. It is actually easier than you think. After you hit reply, you see the little square with a mountain in it? You just click that add the link for the photo (the link from flickr, which you get by right clicking on your photo > copy image location) and then it adds it. If you can manage flickr, you can manage MFC:biggrin2: But we are grateful even just for the set links if you prefer us to do the uploading to MFC work.:wink2:

I didnt meet anyone!!!!!!!!!! i got there so much later than i had wanted to :sad:

 

but still the concert was amazing!!! i was over in the 21 and over section, i made friends with a guy there whose friend was one of the big girls!!! but sadly i cant remember his name :sad:

 

i reallllly wanted to stay after and meet mika but it would have been a stupid idea.... the last septa train to trenton was 11 45 and we would have never made it... im hoping he will be back sooooooon! or maybe he will come to florida :)

 

Im sure everyone had a blast again im sorry i didnt introduce myself to anyone :( but i was wearing a black dress with gold leggings and black boots!!!

 

so who made the feather clips/headband thing?!?!?! i LOVED them!!!!!

Your vids are amazing! Thanks so much for posting!

 

I'm exhausted right now, and I can't wait to get back to Miami tomorrow. The weather is killing me!

My report:

Queuing was fun, even though it was cold. I met another fan from Miami, she's not in MFC though. I met a few more people too, we were all freezing. :lol3: I got to the venue around 4.

Before going into the venue I put on my gold hat and purple/gold mask from my WAG video and the security lady said I looked gorgeous. :naughty:

I told my dad to go to the second floor so that he had a seat. Really, I told him to go cuz I didn't want him to see me crying. :lol3:

I loved that song Gary Go did with his iPod App, it was so cool.

As soon as Mika started singing Relax I started crying. I couldn't believe I was there. I was 3 people back, and center. I had a really good view, probably cuz I was taller than everyone around me. :naughty:

This lady behind me couldn't see because of my hat tho, so I had to take it off. :sad:

The rest of the show I was waving around a flashing heart I have that has gold beads. My arm hurt so much after the show. I don't really know what to say about the show, because it's all been said already.

After the show we went to the back to wait for Mika. I had taken my cd for him to sign and this little fairie frog that always reminds me of the frog in Songs For Sorrow. He came out like an hour and a half after, and I almost started crying again, but I controlled myself this time! :naughty: People were pushing, and shoving stuff in his face so it was hard to get his attention. My dad was filming everything and he said "Mika, un saludo en espanol!" and Mika said something like "Hola! No hablo mucho espanol." I asked him to sign my cd, and then I gave him the frog. First, he thought I wanted him to sign it so I was like "It's for you, it reminds me of Songs for Sorrow" and he said "ah the crying frog!" Good thing we were on the same page. :lol3: John said no pictures with Mika, but when people started leaving I was just there watching and some people asked him to take a picture and they got pics with Mika so I got closer. Then the security said "2 more and that's it" but there were people in front of me. When those in front of me got their pictures the security said no more pictures, and I was the only one that didn't get a pic with him. :tears: Mika saw that I had been there waiting for a picture so he did a "come here" gesture with his hand and said "it's okay" and took a pic with me. And that ladies and gentlemen, was the best day of my life. :biggrin2:
