mfc party 2024 - MFC Party - Dublin, 10th April: DETAILS

[dcdeb]

Who's ready to party?

 

I have to say, of all the MFC parties I've arranged over the years, this was the MOST difficult to coordinate! BUT I'm happy to finally reveal the details of our MFC pre-gig party in Dublin, on Wednesday, 10th April, the day before Mika's show at the Olympia Theatre on 11th April.

 

I've started this new thread with the details -- it was getting a little confusing in the previous thread.

 

So...

 

WHO: MIKA FAN CLUB (AKA US!)

WHAT: PRE-GIG PARTY

WHEN: WEDNESDAY, 10TH APRIL, 6:30 TO 9:30PM

WHERE: The Snug Bar at The Old Storehouse Bar & Restaurant, Crown Alley, Temple Bar, Dublin 2.

 

COST: £15/person payable at the door includes food and SOME drink (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic). For those of you who have paid in advance, don't worry! I have you noted.

 

NOTE: The Old Storehouse are expecting about 35-40 people, which is what I have on the list right now. If more than 40 people show up unexpectedly, they can still join the party, but may have to pay extra for any food or beverage.

We WILL have our own private room BUT we will not be able to play our own music.

I don't know why. Well, I do actually. I think it's because they will have live music. But maybe when the band takes a break we can sneak a few Mika songs in.

 

Here's a short video of the Snug Bar:

 

 

They will serve us party platters with a variety of foods, including several gluten-free choices. Because we needed to pre-order, I've selected:

 

-- 3x large party platters (Chips, Spicy Chicken Wings, Beer Battered Onion Rings, Garlic Bread, Breaded Mushrooms, Chicken Goujons, Scampi & Sweet Potato Fries. Served With 8 Dips) (I think the scampi are GF, but not the rest.)

-- 4 bowls of roasted veg with skewers (GF)

-- 5 plates of smoked salmon on bread (GF if you don't have the bread!)

 

If none of that appeals to you, or you need more to eat, you will be able to order off the menu, but at extra expense.

 

For more info on the location:

https://theoldstorehouse.ie/

 

 

 

As you can see, it's quite close to the Olympia, about a 5-minute walk, so everyone staying in that area should have no trouble finding it or getting there.

 

I think that's everything you need to know, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask below, or send me a private message.

I hope it's not so loud that we can't chat anymore.  Or at least really good, so we can dance!

Add me to the list, please Deb.

[Nellie]

Yayyyyy!!! We are so close :'D

 

@dcdeb I never managed to read what you responded to me in the previous topic, so I'll leave a new reminder that you have my hand if any help is needed regarding the party!

 

(and also that I'm looking for lonely souls like myself to attend both the party and the concert! I'm a Spanish 29 year old ♥)

👋 Nellie, I’m also going solo and don’t know anyone either. I’ll be happy to keep you company 😊 but don’t worry, I’ve been to many concerts alone and I can guarantee  you will never feel “lonely”  in a Mika show 😉.

I look forward to meet u.

Awwww that's so cool! Are you Spanish or just living there? 

[Lauramikale]

That sounds amazing! Thank you so much for organizing that, I'm really looking forward to it!

Thanks! I think we have everything covered, but I will certainly keep you in mind!

 

And as someone said, you will never be lonely at a Mika concert! See you real soon!

@dcdeb

 

My money, along with the money for the party in London, has already been sent to you by my friend  @Er1k000 the other day.

Could you check it out?

 

Sorry it's complicated for you. 

I was not able to send the money from my account - it says that the donation platform is not supported in my country.

 

Huge thanks for organising for the parties. Can't wait to see you there.

[Treasa]

Hi Deb, could you add me to the party list please?

And it’s ok to pay at the door?

[Hero]

Sorry it took so long to reply.

 

Looking forward to seeing you, and everyone else, there!

 

[dotoli]

Hi @dcdeb please add myself @dotoli together with @steichh , @valerria and @Tillymilo thanks!

[Lauramikale]

Hi everyone! I'm looking forward to seeing you all tonight!  

I just wanted to give you a head's up, I land at 4pm in Dublin today; by the time I go over to the apartment and head to the pub, I might be late but I'm still coming! 

[Gabry74]

Thank you so much Deb and MFC for organizing this wonderful party and thank you so much to Mika for offering the drink and the food in Dublin! ❤️

[dcdeb]

I can't believe it's been 3 weeks since London and Dublin! I've had so much going on in real life since then that I barely can remember it. If it weren't for the photos and videos and I don't think I'd believe I was even there.

 

Anyhow... thanks @Gabry74 for posting some photos from this fun night. I have a few things to share as well, collected from others as well as my own pics/vids.

 

But first, our group photo, taken by the lovely barman named Andreas -- he was simply fabulous!

Deb, I've pm you to apologize that I was not able to travel to Dublin and join. 

I guess you didn't see it.

I'm sorry, it's been so hectic here I don't remember what I've seen or done over the past couple of weeks. Except hospitals. I know I've seen lots and lots of hospitals.   Trying to put that behind me now, though!

Just a short video of the snug area -- @holdingyourdrink please notice that I have refrained from including the video of you chowing down!

 

She's branching out, now known as "holding your onion rings"...

 

 

Fanny took lots of selfies with everyone!
