A. Clay Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) Alice, thanks for the report. That was me you were talking to about the extra tickets I got for my kids in line. My friend was quite concerned about your daughter in the bar area. She looked like she was having a clautrophobic attack with all the shoving from the rear. Oh, HI again. i enjoyed very much our chat. You know she has periodic, but infrequent episodes; she never knows when they will occur. In the past it's been flight take offs and landings, but those happen no longer. The worst one I remember was driving the bridge into Charleston, S.C. once, but now she drives the Bay Bridge with out difficulty. There was a more recent one where we were in the "nosebleed" highest balcony section for a charity show and the front was just glassed in! She hasn't had one in ages! I was concerned, too, but her hubby seemed to know what to do. I'll tell you though, it seemed like a potential danger to me there for a little while . . . Edited June 25, 2009 by A.

Candboys Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Thanks for posting your videos, Sara! I love how I can see the shows from various vantage points with all the videos taken from different spots! Thanks jemappelle for your videos too!

sienna Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 " "Everytime I say 'I'm too old for this S*IT, you prove me wrong'" When you told me you had said that to him, I laughed Alice... because it's exactly how I feel, too! Hehe, joining the club! Alice, remember what you said to me a long time ago? “Age is just a number!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A. Clay Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 When you told me you had said that to him, I laughed Alice... because it's exactly how I feel, too! You know MIKA didn't say a thing, just a little funny face before he moved on. I got the strangest feeling that maybe he didn't appreciate the S*IT bit! Surely, he doesn't believe such talk is reserved only for the young, does he?, that F*CK this and D*CK that he's always throwing around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzy Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Cont'd - PART 2.b - Day of the Gig. Waiting in the Queue. Sparkle gel pens + JackViolet = A new necklace for Mana Surely these intelligent looking people are not fangurly types. Queuing is actually quite enjoyable when you're amongst friends.

Suzy Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Cont'd - PART 2.c - Day of the Gig. Waiting in the Queue. ICECREAM!! Sara - you lost your sparkly # 7! Good thing they still let you in. Not quite the surprise that Mika intended to bring for the queue. But a nice distraction for some. Finally. The flag helped answer the question hundreds of passerbys asked all day. Who are you waiting for? Fancy-shmancy. Old fashion styled like a pair of red, shiny 50s laundry machines.

Lucy Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 After my first gig experience in February 2008 I was a mess. Ask Andrew. On the planes from LA to San Francisco, then San Franciso to Vancouver I bawled my way through both flights. I was a little worried Canadian customs woldn't let me in due to running makeup and bloodshot eyes. This time around, I was sitting on a sidewalk in Paris bawling my eyes out after the secong gig, after it was all over. In NYC, as everyone was getting ready to leave the venue, same thing. Oh, and in Amsterdam I cried not only through Over My Shoulder but Blue Eyes and Happy Ending as well. That's just how I roll. What it comes down to is that for whatever reason, this whole Mika thing touches us. Out of six billion people in the world, we're a couple hundred, maybe a thousand who -for whatever reason - have these intense reactions to it, these intense addictions to it. And I'm so grateful that we have each other to share it with. Because those other six billion people just don't have a clue. They can't possibly begin to understand. They just pat you on the head, smirk, and have a giggle about your cutesy thing for "that guy with a squeaky voice." Everything about him touches me so much!!! I cried when Rain was playing. It gave me goose bumps! Eventhough the song is not slow at all. I hope the next album has that song!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzy Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Cont'd - PART 2.d - Day of the Gig. Waiting in the Queue. Post-icecream Post-icecream - after the sugar high. Maybe the hat will magically re-energize us. Or a spray of Apple-perfume to mask the "Queuing-all-day-in-New York" smell. Now let's take the queue inside. Single file. All one hundred of us. Yeah, this all looks like a single file. Hehe. Ummm... (perhaps...stress relief?) 20 hours from the start of marathon queuing. Holly and Lucy. When the head security guy told late coming people they must go to the end of the line, he used Holly and Lucy as the example of fans queuing earliest most deserving to go in first.

Suzy Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 PART 3! - Yay! Finally - we're In! Get as close to the stage as possible! What a relief - the security at Le Poisson Rouge honoured our queue numbering system and used it in their process of letting people inside ten at a time. I think I asked Candboys (whose number was in the 30s) if order was still maintained when she was being let in, and she replied "yes", despite some people who still tried to sneak by and were stopped by security . But yay - it worked! Thanks especially to StandardToaster and lollipop_monkey, Sariflor (who continued to warn people in the 2nd chaotic queue), and dcdeb who took over the list for the new arrivals at the end of the queue. It all paid off. The people who got their earliest, had first dibs all around the perimeter of the stage. Here is what it looked like around me, when we first got in: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suzy Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Let's wear some mylar confetti on our chests in case Mika doesn't notice our decadent presence here along fangurly front row as we scream, jump up and down and dance. It might just be that added umph to get him to motion the two of us on stage for an invasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow my ocd about dirty floors just went out the window. But my feet and ankles (despite orthotics and adrenalin) were telling me that I should join you.

They just pat you on the head, smirk, and have a giggle about your cutesy thing for "that guy with a squeaky voice." You are the first person Ive met that has cried for Mika, other than me. I swear it is so rare that I cry, it really takes a lot, but sometimes just a thought, a photo, or a video of Mika can really hit me hard. When I saw him at Sadler's Wells I cried about 5 times, hard : When I got kicked out of the theater because I accidentally walked into him and the band rehearsing but i purposely sat down and watched them, when the show finally started I cried for the first 4 songs or so, when i ran down to the front row and he grabbed my hand, when we were dancing standing up, and when I saw him at the meet and greet. god, am such a baby this is sick . But SO relieved that you've bawled too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
