I really enjoyed meeting everyone, and hope to meet you all again. Oh and apparently... the paparazzi got a photo of Mika and me talking so, i'm extremely happy, cause my camera battery was very low as soon as i got to the venue and didn't get many and by that time was completely flat..

Aww god:blush-anim-cl::roftl: Thanks!

Btw I saw your picture with Mika.. It's really nice! :wub2:

It is! xx You're welcome you're a v cute girl!

Hehe thanks again! I really appreciate it that you just came up to me and introduced yourself, if anyone didn't do that, I wouldn't have met them:biggrin2::wub2:

Can I just say a huge thankyou to everyone involved in the

flowers, book, bracelet and money I got!! I was very touched

by the messages in the book - and although I was very upset

at not being able to be there and meet everyone - I felt very

much part of it all - at a distance!! :huglove

I got four songs on my voicemail as well - so I can listen

to a bit of the gig "live" over and over again!!! :biggrin2

 

You're very welcome Wendi:huglove: I didn't contribute a lot in money, but my love goes all to you:huglove:

 

I'm starting to type for my report... I'll try and describe as much as I can! I'm sure you've got plenty but I'll do it anyway..

Finaaaaaaaaaaaally, here is the full list of my vids for the night, so, Blue Sky, if you're so kind... :roftl:

I cut Lollipop short because I thought that we were going to go on stage and wanted to be prepared, but then it never happened, so when it happened during Relax I wasn't expecting it.

 

During Relax I carried on filming throughout the 'being pulled and offloaded onto stage by Aurelien' part, so you can imagine how chaotic the film is, and from then onwards it doesn't get much better once we're on stage, but it's fun. It really is the night as I lived it, and quite literally too :naughty:.

Part 6: Meet Mini Mika

 

 

Mika looked cheerful when he moved down the queue. He didn’t meet everyone, only the people who were on the road side of the queue. Anna and I weren’t exactly there, so we quickly moved further back. It was better to be last in the queue than being somewhere in the middle of the crowd… It wasn’t a queue anymore. Anna met Mika first and he signed her book and said happy birthday I think. I was next to her taking photos. Then Mika said hello to the next person and I felt like being somewhere stuck in the middle, if you get what I mean. Luckily he didn’t seem to be in such a hurry that he wouldn’t notice me at all.

 

I said hello and he smiled at me and said hello too, looking me in the eyes at the same time. And as we shook hands I told him my name in case he didn’t recognize me. So I didn’t find out if he recognized me but he sure will next time! I presented Mini Mika to him like it was a Grammy award or something. “I’d like to give you this award for your amazing work”, I said. :fangurl: I wish there were enough words to describe the expression on his face at that very moment. I watched his Bambi eyes widening. At first he looked totally shocked! He said loudly something like “Oh my God! Wow, this is amazing!”

 

He immediately asked me how I had made it, and I said that I customized an old doll. (It wasn’t so “old” actually, but it got a total makeover so it was old to me.) He took a more careful look at the doll and turned the package around. I told him that it was the doll's life story on the package. He was smiling like a little girl at Christmas and he promised to read it later. That made me sure that he would take good care of Mini Mika. I originally wanted to ask him if he knew that I was making this doll, but I forgot. I will ask him next time.

 

He had moved to the next person when I remembered that I had the EP in my bag. I wouldn’t have “needed” him to sign anything for me anymore, and I surely wasn’t going to drag the EP with me to a gig. But I had bought it since the pre-ordered one hadn’t come yet. So I might as well ask him to sign this one if he had time. I waited until he had signed the other person’s EP and stopped talking to her. I politely asked if he could sign my EP and he agreed to it. He bent over the book that I opened and put his name and something that looked like an ‘X’ on it. He did it so quickly that I almost didn’t have a chance to thank him. He was already moving away from me when I said “Thank you so much!” and he turned to look at me one more time with a smile on his face.

 

 

 

Part 7: On Cloud Nine

 

 

I was in Heaven, I really was! I was cold at first, but I was warm when I talked to Mika. You know that feeling, right? You just forget everything else when he looks at you, smiles at you. He seemed genuinely happy about the doll. That wasn’t acting. That was my best meeting with Mika, even though it was probably shorter than my first meeting with him in Stockholm. Brixton was a mess. It’s amazing how Mika makes me speak English so well, and I understand everything he says when he’s in front of me. Some people say that Mika makes them speak badly and forget everything they want to say… But it’s the other way around for me!

 

It seems like some fans regard him as God. Err, he’s not. He’s just a guy, though a talented guy. But I don’t idolize him, so it’s easy for me to speak to him. You should all try that. I’m so happy that Mika meets his fans gladly. If he wasn’t like that I wouldn’t even want to meet him. There are so many musicians out there whose music I listen to but who I never want to meet!

 

Back to the story. Anna and I said goodbye to other MFC’ers and took a taxi with Lillibet. The taxi driver thought that we had been seeing Britney Spears. Erm, where have we heard that before? The taxi driver wanted to know when Mika was playing next. I noticed that there was a single dark brown hair between the pages of my book, so we made jokes about it. Was it Mika’s or somebody else’s?

 

We where at Travelodge before 1 pm, so that bar man was still there. Anna showed him the pictures she had taken of Mika and I showed him Mika’s signature on the book. We checked out at noon the next day and left towards Heathrow. It was a tiring trip back home. We still made jokes about the hair and everything else on the plane. Should we do a DNA test on it? Or stretch it and see if Mika’s hair is in good or bad condition? Nah, I said I was going to throw it away, but Anna wouldn’t believe me. We decided that we wouldn’t go back to London in a while, but we would go somewhere else next time. When we were about to leave the plane a man behind us asked if we had just seen Britney Spears. Eh, third time!

 

For your information: I did nothing to the hair except threw it away last night after looking at it for the one last time. Thank you, it was a pleasure! The end.

 

 

Shock shock Mika! :yikes:

My pleasure with the photo!

 

What a great report! I also loved the MM story you wrote on the box - that's a real masterpiece!

Oh, Mika, give us update on Mini Mika, please!!!

I just read this whole thread from start to finish, took me all day :aah:

 

I think everything has been covered, but just wanted to say I had an amazing time! I enjoyed the gig so much. Mika completely blew me away, just like the first time I saw him and fell in love, what incredible stage presence that man has :wub2:

 

I'm still so delighted I met him afterwards and had my EP signed, and he gave me the sweetest smile I'll never forget :wub2:

 

It was really nice to meet so many of you too, what lovely people you all are!

 

I saw Fortune as well, have to say he is the image of Mika. I couldn't get over it! I saw quite a few people were speaking to him in the foyer afterwards and just said a quick hi as I didn't want to bother him and he was really sweet. Such a beautiful boy. :blush-anim-cl:

 

I had so much fun with Tauruslady on the trip too :biggrin2: Overall, what a brilliant FUN experience, and all thanks to MIKA! :wub2:

Sara vids updated, thanks for that.

 

And I commented on YT, but your Relax footage has to be the best ever!! :fangurl: We can live it all just as you did!! Aurelien going for the piano, and the view of the crowd...

 

Also I know everyone said Mika looked pissed off about that grab/hug, but in the footage he doesn't actually look quite that way, it was just a split second thing, but I know that is how WE feel when we see it:sneaky2:...pissed off, that someone intruded on his personal space when most of us would never do that. But his quick exit from the stage may have been indicative of his true feelings...he may have realised he was gonna get mobbed if he actually finished on stage with that huge crowd!!!:boxed:

Have I told you that you have talent to this, Lils? :naughty:

 

You should think of becoming a professional photographer! :mf_rosetinted:

Well maybe! And buy a new camera right?:mf_rosetinted:

 

Actually it was very difficult to take some decent pictures! There were really tall people in front of me, for example Freddie!:naughty:

Thanks! :original:

No problem, but do you mind to put my name under the photo? Just because I saw there is a reference to the BBC picture and people's reviews and I think it would be better for people to know who took the picture! Thanks!:thumb_yello:

I was right by Rose at the line during the Meet & Greet... saw Fred pass the Aussie petition to Mika:thumb_yello: and witnessed Rose asking Mika the Random question :biggrin2:

 

Awwww yay!
