And I’ve heard from @Sivanyou shouldn’t wear long sleeve shirts, or anything too warm for that matter, because it’s going to be super hot when dancing Or at least wear layers. Yes, flower crown, must get that sorted! Well in Paris, Prisca named me 't-shirt girl' because I had bare arms all the time, so that suits me! Might be cold in Boston though, early April is their transition period from winter to spring so we could have cooler temperatures, wind and rain while queuing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aki Celeste Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 2 hours ago, Hero said: On a related (ish) matter - have people got outfits planned? Definitely a flower crown for me, possibly something glowing and some bright colors to go along with it. I went a bit overboard and bought a long-sleeve shirt with one of my favorite Mika songs printed on it, but it sounds like I might want to convert it into a t-shirt or vest, as I tend to get VERY sweaty when the mood is right. Is anyone who's going to the Boston concert also going to Montreal the following weekend, or is it mostly a Boston-NYC deal for you guys? The Montreal thread seems pretty quiet, so I'm not quite sure what to expect there. Plus the venue is a lot bigger, with assigned seating. Hoping I get to make it to both concerts, in any case - that way I can have more than one opportunity to make an utter fool of myself in front of Mika. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured he would probably be much bigger there, given the French connection, among other things! It'll be interesting to see the contrast between a concert in the US vs Quebec, hence my wanting to go to both shows. Looking forward to meeting you and other fans, if it works out that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are we just going to collectively gape at him and maybe get out a high pitched “Hi!” and hide behind eachother’s back? (This is what happened to me. I am speaking from 3 seconds of experience here ) I usually do bring something, juuuust in case he pops out after the gig to sign stuff. I'm packing super light (just a small backpack for Boston since I won't have anywhere to put a suitcase during the gig) so it'll have to be something small, flat, and light... i'm thinking a copy of his Topolino? 21 hours ago, Hero said: On a related (ish) matter - have people got outfits planned? yeah, something practical for travel, definitely layers, something I don't mind getting blood, sweat, or tears on. 17 hours ago, Aki Celeste said: Is anyone who's going to the Boston concert also going to Montreal the following weekend, or is it mostly a Boston-NYC deal for you guys?

I really wanted to do Montreal but since it's such a big venue I decided to skip it this time. He's hopefully used to it by now, he has that effect on so so many people That's what I tell myself after I make a fool of myself in front of him anyway 16 hours ago, Hero said: Some useful info about the venue here: https://roadrunnerboston.com/venue-info/ What items are not permitted in the venue?

No "pets, other than service animals; not to include comfort animals"? Damn, my kitty is gonna be SO disappointed!! She was really looking forward to seeing Mika live. "Do you have a coat or bag check?" GAH they don't actually answer if they have a bag check or not. I was gonna bring a sharpie marker, just in case Mika doesn't have one after or something... might still try to sneak one in anyway. I've had nightmares of randomly meeting him and having nothing for him to sign an autograph with so I like to be prepared. oops, there I go again talking like I'm definitely going to this gig too! I better just bite the bullet & book a flight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had nightmares of randomly meeting him and having nothing for him to sign an autograph with so I like to be prepared. This is what I was thinking too… what if I came all prepared and there is no marker!!! Hopefully one of us will succeed and we can borrow eachother’s (or he will just keep it, that’s fine, too ) This is all just in case he comes out! I know it’s not a given, but it’s just really cool to dream about it….. ☺️ (and to come prepared!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, I figured I'll never see my sharpie again (IF he comes out after and IF he has no other marker and IF i remember to pull it out for him). Yup, it's good to be prepared juuuuust in case. I know he doesn't owe it to us, and even if he does come out afterward it doesn't guarantee he'll sign any of our things (must keep reminding myself!). I've always considered the possibility of no one having anything for him to sign, I don't want him to feel neglected or something so that's why I always make an effort.

It would be amazing if it happens, it will still be amazing if it won’t, because we already had a great time dancing, singing and having fun during his concert …..during a pandemic where we are allowed to forget everything else ☺️ Edited February 18, 2022 by holdingyourdrink 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kreacher Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 (edited) Booked my flight to Boston! No flight booked out of Boston yet, that flight was more expensive so I might just take the bus. The timing is better for me anyway. Nevermind, got my gig ticket! ....oh crap i probably should've got a gig ticket first. LOL how much would that suck for the gig to be sold out already?

With Boston being a day earlier I’m glad I had been procrastinating my domestic flights but now slowly but surely, having only 40 days (!!!!) left, I think I need to look into those soon What I haven’t been procrastinating? Packing! Haha! I have updated my pack list and will want to be as efficient as possible, so I got myself travel containers to put my necessities in, buying what I still need etc. I haven’t really thought about queueing yet and I think I need to prepare for that, too… like warm enough clothes, an umbrella, possibly rain coat, something to sit on etc I’m not an experienced queuer, any tips?? Anyone?? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone?? This is what I was wondering. Weather could be cold and wet, could be outside for some time - BUT we need to have minimal items with us (no bags larger than 14x14 inches, and who wants a bag bumping around while dancing?). How does it work with the cloakroom? If we have to queue for that too, do we then lose the good spot we spent so long queuing for outside? Or is there an honour system in place for it too?
