So afterwards, a little group of us went to wait for him to come out and talk to us and stuff. So we lined up at this one side door that led right into the venue. But the staff woman that was at that door said that there was NO WAY Mika would come out of that door. She guaranteed it. But the door was open and we could see Mika inside with fans. Andy was filming and the band was there too. So it was extra frustrating because we could see him for the whole time we were outside in the lovely 10 degree weather waiting for him. Justine (juju27) saved the day though, because she found a way to get back inside, which we were told was impossible to do. Apparently she told the security people a sob story and they let her back in She talked to Mika's manager (I think?) and he told her that Mika would come out to see us in a few minutes. It had only been like a half an hour, and Mika came straight out that door that the woman had guaranteed he wouldn't come out of
There weren't that many of us at all, and I think we all got what we wanted signed and everything. He was in a good mood and gave out hugs to everyone who asked. Justine even kissed him on the cheek! Another thing, a different security guard guaranteed us Mika wouldn't take pictures because he needed to get out fast. But Mika took pictures with everyone who asked
My friends and I had a stuffed Snoopy that we had gotten for him. We put a cape on it, because Mika said if he could be a superhero, he'd be Snoopy. And the cape was made of a MN flag because Snoopy's from St. Paul. When I got to talk to him, I said, "Mika, we have a present for you!" and he saw it and got this really happy look on his face and said "Snoopy!!!" and took it from me. I said, "And you said that if you could be a superhero, you'd be Snoopy" and he was like "yes I would!" and I said "so we put a cape on him." he said he loved it and had seen us waving it around during the concert. I asked him for a hug and got the first hug of the night He also signed my ticket.
I took a few pictures but it felt really awkward because there were so few people and we were so close to him that I thought it would be rude, but he didn't seem to mind.
He's such a sweetheart!
