MY REPORT THINGER!! 8D

 

(Sorry it's a little late, I didn't get up 'til about half 1 this afternoon, then I got a headache so rested some more, then I went into depressive mode... XD; )

 

I was dressed up as Tristania/Dark Lollipop Girl yesterday, and I had loads of people give me strange looks, ask me about my costume, and/or take a photo of me, and this was even before I'd reached West Kensington station to go to Piccadilly! XD I got there at 11, expecting there to be hoards of brightly coloured Mika fans gathered around... but I only saw Marianne84, standing around all on her own! I gave her a lollipop, and we chatted for a bit while we waited... and waited... and waited... XD (it probably wasn't even all that long, but it felt like forever!) then eventually, we saw hotdlp and Laura, and then a little while after that, we spotted a whole bunch of the others on the other side of the fountain. Soon after that, we headed on down to Somerset House.

 

On the way, I realised that my shoes were stopping me from being able to keep up from the rest of the group (as well as generally killing my feet), so I ended up having to take them off. Then when we started walking again, my little paper bag, in which I had various foodstuffs for the day, decided it had had enough and died spectacularly. XD Luckily, Laura came to my rescue and supplied me with a replacement bag (THANK YOU once again!).

 

We got to Somerset House at about 1 o'clock or so, shortly after which I almost got crushed to death by a falling barrier thinger XDDD (thanks again to those who came to my rescue!), and then we waited around and chatted and stuff. Alan Cumming rode in on a taxibike at one point, which was slightly unexpected! Later on, loads of jugglers, balloon people, people on stilts, ladies with ribbons, etc. came along to entertain us while we were in the queue, though to be honest, I was more entertained by the loud singing of various Mika songs coming from behind me. XD

 

When we were let in, I ran as fast as I could with my achey breaky feet to the stage, and ended up right near the front! I was well chuffed XD and I started to get hugely excited while I was waiting for Patrick Wolf to come on. He was f***ing AMAZING, seriously. And he was his usual adorable self, saying thank you each time the audience applauded him, and telling us little stories about various things, like his near-dead keyboard that he got when he was 16 ("I think Somerset House is a good place to die!" XD). Some guy requested that he perform 'The Childcatcher', but he said, "Nooooo, too many kids here!" *LOL* I'd hoped he'd perform 'Bloodbeat', but it was just as good to hear 'Tristan' instead.

 

Then Mika came on, and I was merrily singing along to every song and waving my second lollipop of the day (my first one died with my paper bag) around like a mentalist, even briefly getting hand cramps at one point! XD I was kind of amused by the smoke effect thinger that was going on during Over My Shoulder - my mind was going, "Ooooh, teh atmosphere!1!11" 'cause I think I was in too much of a silly mood to really appreciate what was going on, LOL. I was even smiling like a loon while singing along to the song! I enjoyed Mika's rendition of 'You've Got the Love', 'twas very good. Overall, I had lots of fun just generally being insane XDDD

 

Afterwards, a group of us went to wait for Mika, and he eventually did come out, but he wasn't able to stay for long, so I didn't get to give him the Japanese koala biccies that I wanted to give him... I did, however, get an accidental thwack in the face from Mika, which amused me muchly. :roftl: I'm still amused that the only face-to-face communication I managed to get with Mika was him asking if I was okay after the thwackage and me replying "Yeah" while giggling like a loon, hahahaha! Ah well, maybe I'll get to actually talk to him and go into anime/manga/music-geek-mode in December...

 

I walked around for a while afterwards trying to find a bus home, but eventually went "Screw it!" and got a cab instead. I briefly went online, then realised I was bloomin' exhausted, so much so that I went to sleep without even bothering to take my makeup off. XD

 

And that's all, folks!

[JackViolet]

Thanks for the report, wasabi! I had been wondering who the gothic lolita girl was!

 

--Jack

[avoca]

LMAO me too..

[wasabi_tea]

Haha, ja, 'twas me all along...

 

Writhing on the floor, again supposed to be provocative…

 

Was that really meant to be provocative? I thought it was just Patrick Wolf being... Patrick Wolf XD;

 

Patrick can definitely sing. But…all his stage antics and touching himself (thank God it didn’t get to the stage it got to at Glastonbury- sticking his hand down his trousers, for those who don’t know- and no I didn’t witness it.

 

*gets a nosebleed at the thought*

[Akim]

Haha, ja, 'twas me all along...

*gets a nosebleed at the thought*

 

To be quite honest, I was confused! Although it really wasn't my thing...I kind of like him. He resolutely stands by his beliefs, read his blogs they really are thoughtful...I liked the fact that he was sincere when he thanked the crowd for the appaluse- if it wasn't for the personal touches I don't think I would have said that much about him.

 

I know what you mean by the provocative, questionmark...ummm...its his act...don't really know what else to say

[KiteKat]

 

Thanx everyone for pics and vids! Did anyone take a clip of that "techno" thingie?

 

Re: Patric - at least he is wearing some sort of underpants...gotta appreciate the effort... I am a huuuge fan of his outfits though (and wigs)...forgot the name of a designer that does that.....

You missed a trick there ... when Mika asked if you were Ok, you should have said, "no - it needs a kiss better!"
