vickylovesmika Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Just a quick note as I'm just home and verrry tired now! That was THE single,most amazing experience in my life!!! I can't believe I was a BG! I was utterly terrified and my glasses kept fogging up under my big head, but I didn't fall over! I was sure I was going to topple off the stage when I was dancing! I can barely even remember much, it all kind of just went in a blur, but I'll post as memories keep coming back. I think the most mortifying thing ever was getting stuck in that kaftan thingy we were given to cover up our costumes...It wouldn't go over my chest so I got stuck with my arms above my head...Mika seen it and laughed! It was brilliant meeting you all, what an amazing bunch of freaks you all are! I can't wait for Edinburgh!!:biggrin2: Oh...and in the group photo of us with Mika...my face is blurred!! Typical, trust me to move...Guess that's motivation to make sure I get another photo with him! Ah well, at least I know I was there! lol It was great to meet you and your mum and so glad it all went well for you! My group pic is the same, well i'm hardly visible but Mika had his arm round me and i was leaning next to him so it kinds makes up for it lol , and we know:teehee: Whoa...essay...make sure to have a break every now and then if you read it, haha! Brilliant report ..! i've just done one too and will post but things keep coming back to me! I loved watching you all getting ready with mama p to go and get ready for the backstage exp with sparkles! I think a bit of me wanted to do it and i know i could , mama p smiled at me and said i could have gone:blush-anim-cl: but somehow i just wanted to experience the sun and felt it would be too hot to be a BG however i loved that you all had such fun and that there were a few of you together as that makes it sooo much more special!! I loved watching you all from the front row ..magic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Brilliant report ..! i've just done one too and will post but things keep coming back to me!

I loved watching you all from the front row ..magic! I think the main pull for me was that Ingie and Fred were going, and I knew it would be a massive party with those guys involved. Plus I was so tired because I woke up at half five and couldn't get back to sleep, and being a dancer means you can chill a little bit and don't have to stand around waiting for the acts, etc. Plus I was determined to give Mika his shirt and thought he would be going straight away after the gig, so it was a culmination of all that really. Brilliant weekend, can't wait to read your report! I had to go back and keep adding details into mine. I don't think I'd have been able to write a proper one until this morning, because it was all still so blurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pull for me was the fact that I had never done it before, wanted to be one of the characters since 2007 and that this could be the last gig for me this year, depending on what he does for the rest of 2010. And after, who knows if you'll get the chance again? It was nice to experience it with you guys though and with MFCers I hadn't really met/fans who hadn't done it before either. Plus it was so nice to talk to his mum, she is so, so sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FREDDIESDOUBLE Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Right so here is my report. I will keep it short and sweet. When Mika touched my shoulder I had my fangurly moment but because I'm a man I just kept myself together. When the girls had to get the doll out, I was being a man somewhere else so they had to do it on their own. Sorry girls! So, we first went on stage during the procession, dropped the doll and then ran off. We partayed a little backstage and changed our outfit. Mama P was worried I didn't fit mine, because I'm so big headed:teehee: Well then we went to the sides and I sang along to Grace Kelly and mixed up the words. Very Mikastyle and John then said You of all people should know better and then he sang with me and did it properly:naughty: Then we went on stage for Lollipop. I swapped masks with Ingie and it was impossible to see through it. I stumbled on stage and through the tiny cracks in my masks I could see Mika looking over at us. Next thing Ingie was dragged away. Then Imma grabbed my hand and I ended up on the other side of the stage, dancing like a blind cow. Haha:roftl: I didn't bow because then I would just headbutt the person in front of me and I dont think that people would really appreciate it if a big girl with a huge mask would fall off the stage into the audience. See I'm so considerate. Then we went backstage and when he came over he went straight to Ingie. Mika liked my shirt and I said that it was all Ingie's fault. And he said oh yeah she's great isn't she? And we chatted a bit before leaving. It was amazing and I had a blast and can't wait for the Fringe! It was really great seeing everybody. You don't know how loud we roll until you're backstage. Go MFC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was ace. And you're right, it probably is the last chance for a very long time, if not ever, so I'm glad you bit the bullet and went up to do it. So much fun!

Agree totally, it's the people you experience it with that makes it special:wub2: Kath, Ruth and i had a blast in Sheffield as it was so spontaneous ..basically main motivation was to get out of the cold!! Ingie makes things lots of fun and i love playing along:teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingie makes things lots of fun and i love playing along:teehee: Definitely, we had a lovely group of girls in Vienna, and that was a really good one as well. It really does make all the difference. Yes, Ingie makes things brilliantly fun, I have no idea what my Dad must have thought of her when we rolled up yesterday afternoon, but when she left he said 'see ya later cloggy!' so I think he must have liked her, even if he was slightly bemused, like most people seem to be, hahaha.

vickylovesmika Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Well I really think this is in my top 3 Mika gigs and I’m trying to work out exactly why …they are all great to be at but sometimes it all comes together to make it extra fun! It just felt good …. The sun was shining, my easy flight direct to Newquay from Edinburgh, seeing friends ..freaks and all the pretty relaxed atmosphere all helped … I had a great Saturday with Kath and Mr Kath in the sun all afternoon and then meeting up with lots of people on Saturday night… this makes it all the more special of course , sharing the experiences …it was so good to see so many people come along, introduce themselves and join in ..that’s what it’s about. Ingie enjoyed practicing her tattooing on my arm and I didn’t mind too much!! It was good pre gig night anyway ... even if not the most pretty pub in that beautiful part of the world! Anyway enough of that but Sunday was a beautiful day and getting to Eden was no trouble thanks to Kath’s hire car! Met up with all the peeps and headed in to the garden of Eden The place wasn’t too mobbed all day and we got to have a look around the biomes, chill out, drink eat ice creams and everything all day before we had to endure the long stand! Jazzy was spot on as we were walking round the rainforest biome when she said ‘it’s like a school trip for the MFC!’ ..lol so it was! We had good fun in the Mediterranean biome as we all spoke mock Italian for Allegra! Lol …. I do love the fact I have got to meet so many people form so many places via the MFC! We got to watch the sound check too , in the sun and with some audience participation ..how good was that! Anyway the queue bit was OK as it was warm and sunny and friends to chat to … Got a great spot in front of fave iMMa and Jimmy ..(I do love being infront of iMMa as she gives tonnes of encouragement and chat from the stage) great people to chat to round about too … (lovely to see mikamad and Alice again esp on the day) Diana Vickers was bearable the ‘once’ … I’ve made that pun too many times already ..sorry but her wardrobe malfunction and bored looking bass player were a bit of a cringe however we got through it unscathed! ( if only she’s gone and got a safety pin!) We had a bit of a sing long to 'once' cause I think we knew it was nearly the end and nearly Mika time! The set looked great, the cloth clown backdrop with the flowers peeping out from behind and lots of flowers everywhere …soon to be strewn across the audience.. Mika’s entry was less dramatic than usual without any of the usual build up ..spacemen, Rain storm or the like so he was suddenly there .. wow … he was his usual very bouncy self and worked the stage .. you know he’s checking out who’s there too which is funny… the knowing smiles and real appreciation of the crowd away to the back … Highlights for me were splitting the audience for BIOTG …the spontaneous throwing of the flowers .. Kick Ass, putting on the wristband we threw, iMMa’s interaction and her floral dress, Mika’s waistcoat and horticultural hat, seeing Ingie, FD and Jazzy carry the toy boy and dancing like mad on stage, lots more I’m sure but for just now … the crowd did seem great tho sometimes at the front it is hard to tell and see back but it looked amazing ..esp as the sun went down ... seeing lots of flowers being waved was lovely esp as he'd wanted to do it and it was very funny when they weren't coming out at all easy ..iMMa came to his aid tho!! We weren’t sure how the ending was going to be but when the guys form the stage came out they were so excited that we hung about and chatted and then next thing Mika was out and doing his signing stuff and we had a wee chat too, very unexpected this one but he always appreciates the efforts people go to I think and was kind with his words ..a lot of people were asking things of him …around us ..to be drawn on for a tattoo , to become a patron of a charity … etc ..wow … then he was gone and we had the walk back to cars etc via the merch again and loo’s but alas no pasties! We seemed to be last out as behind us were about 20 security guys … was funny looked like we were being escorted by them .. thanks to Mikamad who was going to give us a lift home but we spotted at bus for St Austell. The usual late night chat and banter is always fun and then I got a few hours sleep before we headed for Newquay airport for our Edinburgh flight …Kath and I had a very nice chat with David as we’ve said and soon as we knew it we were back in Edinburgh! Tons of great memories, tons of fun and that’s all form me just now but it’s not all form him .... the music and Mika goes on .... Thankfully!

It was ace. And you're right, it probably is the last chance for a very long time, if not ever, so I'm glad you bit the bullet and went up to do it. So much fun! I was really made up since I missed my chance at both the Hammersmith Gigs. I was actually a bit nervous at first (being picked, knowing I had to wear the mask, trying on the corsets) but after that I was okay. And Maria is really wonderful as well.

I think it's kind of like a rollercoaster, you get that sicky feeling when you're going up up up and you think oh noooo why am I doing this? And then you drop and it's the best feeling ever and you think, oh yeah, duhhh! I didn't know you tried out at Hammersmith! Still, at least you got to do it in the end!
