Well Mika.... I like you ALOT too.... YOU are shy? I never noticed! But I am so happy that you had such special attention AND a fist-bump! Being able to watch all that from the side as we did was pretty funny. It was such an intimate show - I loved that he was able to interact with everyone so much.

kreacher Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) Oh this is so late, does anyone still care? Sorry >.< Got to the venue with my sister in tow about 2-2:30ish, we'd taken the train in from her place in Philadelphia. The line was about 10-15 ppl long i guess? I chatted a bit with old friends and met a new one then we snagged our bit of sidewalk to wait upon. Sorry if i didn’t talk much to people, i’m so shy & especially nervous before gigs & can never think of things to talk about :rolls_eyes: This venue was most certainly in the strangest place i’ve ever seen a Mika gig in. On the way there we passed a hipster wedding and a buuuunch of motorcycles, i’m not sure if they were connected or not. People already have mentioned the brunch rave & the flea market. When my sister & i went to the club to use the restroom some random drunk guy grabbed my hands and made me dance with him. I about died of embarrassment! At one point we needed a walk so my sister and i went w/ Natasha to the flea market and a nearby park by the river with an amazing view of the NYC skyline so that was a fun use of queue time. I won’t go into each song (mostly because the gig was such a blissful blur) so here’s some random thoughts from me… -i was in the front row with my sister before the gig and i was trying to convince her to stay by me for once but someone behind her was pushing a bit before the gig even started, so she left to get a spot further back and to the side. -i was a little to the left of Tim’s set up so whenever Mika came over he’d stop RIGHT in front of me. I had to crane my neck to look up at him, but that was no bad thing. I really wanted to touch him but no one else was so i restrained myself, like a good girl. -Billy Brown and Big Girl didn’t do much for me (not because i dislike them or the way he performs them, but i’ve heard them so many times and they haven’t changed much) so i used the time to take all my pictures and a couple short videos. He didn’t have his piano, so Billy Brown was a tiny bit better than usual at least. Blue Eyes is on the bubble for me, i could take it or leave it, again not because of him but because he was a bunch of other songs I've never seen live & so desperately want to. -all the other songs were amazing tho. i can't even pick out favorites, i loved them all! -the band was so tightly packed on the stage, i couldn’t see Curtis at all because he was blocked by Tim’s gear. i did take a bit of video during Popular when he was playing saxophone because i knew i wouldn’t be able to get him again. -Mika was sweating through his jacket but valiantly kept it on the whole time. Hopefully after this tour he’ll toss the two suits out because they’re so gross. The best thing about them is that they’re tight & i kept hoping he’d bust a seam when he was dancing (of course that happened at the gig i wasn’t at!). -his voice sounded great! i was hoping for a bit of non-microphone singing since the place was so small but no luck :/ -there were visuals projected on the wall but the didn’t seem to be all that related to the songs so i stopped noticing them after the second song. -Mika was so much fun to watch and he danced (sexy even!) and laughed a lot. I thought he was very chatty but of my 8 previous Mika gigs only 2 had been “regular” Mika gigs (both were at Webster Hall), so perhaps he wasn’t xD -i noticed a guitar pic laying on the stage during the gig just a foot or so in front of me. It was still there when the roadies were clearing off the stage so i snagged it Afterward when Mika came out and he was greeting people i handed him the little thing i’d brought for him to sign and he looked at me and said “How are you?” I was so surprised and said “I’m fine.” I’m fine? i’M FINE?! i was anything but fine! i should’ve said “i’m dead. how are you?” or “i’m amazing thanks to you and that amazing gig” or something to convey how much of high i was on, but no, i said i’m fine LIKE A BRAINDEAD MORON. Did i even tell him thank you? Afterward we went and hung out at Veselka which was much fun, then i went with my sister to Penn station to wait for her 5am train.
