Cassiopée Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Everyone did so great at reporting so I haven't much to add. Once again it was incredible and I want more:wub2: I arrived at 1:30 with my gf and find a spot front row next to Deb. It was my gf first gig and to quote her "it was a d*** big party and it's impossible not to sing and dance". 3rd row from leftRayaBadran, mika, dcdeb, lilstar, cassiopée, can't tell next one That's my gf's head She took lots of pics.

Yes! I only wish we'd had the chance to get it in photo -- I started to ask about it, and then Mika came over, and all bets were off... Oh well, we know that he's hung it up on his living room wall for the weekend, at least. She took lots of pics.

Kristele's photos are great! When did they move the cupcake out onto the stage? After our meet? And it was so great to see you again, and to meet her! Let's hope October sees us in the same place at the same time again, whether it's Canada or the US! I just finished my signature inspired by the Festival!! It's beautiful!

dcdeb Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Wow Ryan's pics are amazing!!! They truly are! Suzy, tell him I said that he can tag along to all of our future Mika gigs, even if he insists on giving me a hard time. (Yeah, yeah, I know -- That's what SHE said!) I'm on holidays and cannot connect very often often but I did want to read this thread and its reports as I knew lots of our friends from America were so looking forward this gig!! I loved reading the reports posted so far but am still waiting for a few (yes, I'm talking about you Guy and Deb ) . The group picture is great ! I'm getting there, I promise. Although everyone's doing such a good job without me. Will you settle for some more photos in the meantime? Not as good as Suzy's but they're what I got. Here are some, the rest are on my Facebook page. Catherine and Roxie working on the cupcake: Soundcheck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdeb Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I think this is the moment he turned and saw us all waving the fabric squares at the beginning of Celebrate -- because this sure is The Smile that we got for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzy Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I'm glad everyone enjoyed the photos. I will let my husband Ryan know. I enjoyed reading all the reports - I remember sounding as gushy when I went to my first several gigs. Those memories are precious to me too. Here is the link to a video I took of the crowd waving fabric squares during "Celebrate" (sorry it's not Ryan's camera, but just my iPhone): https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=4493657576383 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cathouzouf Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 OK, finally found a computer to do my report... from Washington DC:wink2: Where should I start? After weeks of going back and forth, and getting a few no-nos, we came up with the idea of the flags. I volunteered to go get fabric and cut meters of fabric into 250 squares, my thumb still hurt. Loved meeting everyone the night before, dinner was great. The day of the show, I had many things to do, as we were leaving for vacation the morning right after the gig... Making suitcases, etc. Due to unfortunate last minute changes, I couldn't be with the others as early as I would (missed the soundcheck) and was practically a mess (thanks Rian for her patience and Roxy for the update) Finally I got there, found the girls and everything was great again. We started distributing the flags and everyone was asking us to get one. One person asked me where we got the. My answer was: I cut them myself, because I love Mika so much:thumb_yello: Wait was not too long and to my surprise I liked the opening act. Talented girl. Now it was Mika's turn:wub2: Love every second of it. Loved every song, loved the interaction with the crowd... I could not believed my eyes: he was finally there in front of me:shocked: The time for celebrate came and everyone started waving their flags. I knew we got him when I saw his face when he finally noticed everyone waving. I was proud of our little group, I was proud of the entire crowd for getting into it. The smile on his face was a moment of pure joy. After that, i had to leave front row because my daughter was not enjoying the blasting sound as much as I did. At firts, I was a little bummed but seeing the end of the show from afar was even greater. i could see Mika on the stage, and I could see people react to him. What a great performer:fisch: To top everything, we met him. What I found so funny was he kept asking questions about who had the idea for everything. Told him the flags were my idea. He then said he might use it himself. Told him it was OK with me, as long as I didn,t have to cut them:blush-anim-cl: he assured me it would not be the case What more can I say: this night goes on my best days in my life, after my kids' birth and my wedding day:mf_rosetinted: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
