So if your friends ask where you stayed in London, you can say "I spent the night in a cell!" - arrested for stalking Mika after the concert! No handcuffs necessary! (or are they ) I think I've seen that one but I'm good. The brittnana one looks reasonable so I will probally go with that one as for the the Handcuffs - No comment 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prisca Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 My problem with booking accommodation is also that we don't know if we might do something on Sunday and then I might also need accommodation for Sunday to Monday. Of course, the Thames trip is just an idea at the moment, but if we don't do that on Sunday, we might do something else. Friday probably not, because people work then rather than on Sunday and they also have to come to London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since next year in the MFC's 15th anniversary, and since this London show may be the biggest gathering of Mika fans we'll see in 2022, I think we just might have to plan a party... I mean, come on! Aren't we always ready for a party? Like I said, it's a bit too early to say anything definite, but we can certainly start talking about it! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said something the other day about hoping this year will be good for Mika since its 15 years for Grace Kelly and first finding fame hence hoping a lot of tiurs new music and maybe even singing songs live he doesnt normally do 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the pre party in Paris and it was great. So many lovely people just glad to see you and wanting to have fun. I'm usually quiet, but fair warning to everyone, after a couple of drinks and in the right circumstances... there's a lot of pent up partying to release! 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyLove_CJ Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 I'm not much of a party goer either but I'm not totally averse to them, (I'm usually that person who sits in a corner with the hosts pets 😅), especially when there's plenty of Mika fans around and non stop Mika music! Good food and drink help keep a party going too, so if I'm not hogging someone's dog you'll find me... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellody Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 As Deb says, it's still early - but in general, as it's a standing gig, I suppose any MFC activities will happen on Saturday, because on Sunday many of us will be queueing. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think it would be too much to have a meet up on the concert day, and the day after some people might be leaving for home (I probably will). The day before is fine for me but I might not get into London 'till 2-3pm, so maybe an evening meet up? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many lovely people just glad to see you and wanting to have fun. I would say the parties (yeah we had two!) in Paris were very inclusive and fun. We were all in a great mood and there was room for every language and truly everybody. The only thing we didn’t make and allow room for, was negative judgement 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcdeb Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 MFC is a NO PRESSURE Zone! You don't have to come to the party if you don't want to, and you certainly don't have to drink (alcohol) if you don't want to! I know you don't believe me, but I'm actually quite quiet, but you all are my people, right? You all speak my language (Mika-ese?) and I'm comfortable around you, so it's not the same as an awkward party situation -- like when I go to my one of my husband's work do's and I know I will have very little in common with most people there. In any case, I'm not sure yet what form the "party" will take -- probably Saturday, but we'll see... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Okay, I just reserved a room at the Nox Hotel Belsize Park for 3 nights, arriving Friday. Less than £350 with good reviews, so fingers crossed! It's in the next area north of Camden, a short (ish) walk up the road from Roundhouse. It's free cancellation until 29th June, so I can change if something better comes up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'm going to go with the Britannia it looks reasonable and its only £200 (£220 with breakfast) and is only a 10 min walk tho might check that one out too since I'm not making a decision yet The Nex is pretty much the same price for the two nights which is what I'm doing so both are good options Edited December 19, 2021 by BeccaStardust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
