Christine Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Omg im so excited! I think i will fly over to Ny this time! :wink2:q You should!! Le Poisson Rouge is amazing and it sounds like the Brooklyn venue is great too. And of course NYC is the best city in the world (well maybe tied with London ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 So pleased for you all though - and for Mika.....I didn't like the thought of him sinking into obscrurity and only surfacing for French festivals. Yes this is the thing. I've just seen Mika so it's not like I need to go a gig every 3 months or something. But I am very very pleased that he's still in the game. Much smaller artists than he have done extensive tours of North America and I'm glad he's going for it. Especially since it's been 3.5 years since the last proper tour. And honestly it will be great to have so much news in English where things are not dubbed and lost in translation, etc. It always feels like a barrier has come down when that happens.

dcdeb Posted February 14, 2013 Author Share Posted February 14, 2013 HOLY CRAP!!! HAPPY VALENTINE'SDAY TO US!!!!! I'm going to New York and Boston and working on my husband for Brooklyn too lolWho's going? How excited are you all???? Oh, surely Brooklyn will be an easy sell? It's only across the river for you, right? I thought that too... wonder his throat would be fine at the end.... Yes, that will be the downside to waiting to see him until the last few dates... This looks like a very hectic pace. Hope he can survive it! You should!! Le Poisson Rouge is amazing and it sounds like the Brooklyn venue is great too. And of course NYC is the best city in the world (well maybe tied with London ) I know... but the fact that the NYC dates aren't back to back is a slight problem. I may have to forego Le Poisson Rouge this time. But its 18+! Do you think they will let me in? Im 15 lol Hmm... how old do you look? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BangBangLou Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Best. News. Ever! Now to decide if I drive to Utah for the show before Denver or not.... or maybe San Fran. So very, very excited to see Mika again. Gets the Silly String ready...) Also: stripped down band - means not full band. Maybe just 3 people, maybe just two. YES SARA!! Come to SF! I am so excited! Im definitely doing SF. But im hella interested in Las Vegas (becasue its Vegas:mf_rosetinted:) and LA (choir reunion)! And it falls right in my spring break! the SF show is the Monday of my Spring break! Its like a dream!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christine Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Hmm... how old do you look? I thought she was already 18 so she'll be fine Anyone who is underage will not get into the Toronto show though. They don't mess around here. They will ID every single person who looks under the age of 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I look so young, maybe I'll have some trouble if they think I have fake ID. That's sad for you chimacuito, hope you'll be able to go to at least one gig !

Christine Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 Could you go with someone over 18 and get in? No. The legal age here is 19 and no one under 19 is allowed in. When I was a teenager there was no way to get into a bar at all if you were under 19 but at least now they do all ages shows. His other 3 gigs here have been all ages but it looks like this one is not. 40 Still not sure if I go to Toronto, but I'm very happy to be 19 yo.

But sometime when I go to a bar, they look at me so much, they don't believe me. But they let me go in anyway. I asked a question previously but I got no answers. When they talk about local time, it's UK local time ? So I'll be at 6 o'clock AM tomorrow morning ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'll have to go to the Chicago show (that better be all ages or I might cry) Oh sorry I didn't realize you were planning to come here. I have found that the US venues are not as strict since 21 is the drinking age so the 18+ restriction is not really about alcohol. In Ontario they just can't have underage kids in the venues if there is alcohol freely flowing (usually at an all ages show they will have a separate section with a bar where no under 19s are permitted to go). Anyway I really hope Chicago works out for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I really hope Chicago works out for you. Yeah, I'm pretty much as close to Toronto as Chicago. Most venues I've been too just give you a stamp on your hand if you're under 21 and let you go in. After that, they don't even check IDs at the bar. I've seen quite a few girls in the bathroom desperately trying to wash the ink off their hands. :rolls_eyes: Thanks, Christine! This venue is usually +21, unless stated otherwise. They haven't posted Mika's date yet, but I do see some other All Ages shows on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bar will lose their liquor license (and basically be forced out of business) if they break the law. And there are always undercover cops hanging around to make sure the law is being enforced. I even got busted by a cop for carrying a beer in a ballpark 3 weeks before my 19th birthday. I did manage to sneak into bars a few times when I was 17 because I worked for a record company so I would go in with work colleagues who were twice my age and they would vouch for me. I also borrowed a friend's ID but now that all acceptable ID has a photo on it, it wouldn't work. If you lived in TO maybe you could take your chances but I wouldn't recommend coming all the way here in case you are turned away. But hopefully things go well with Chicago.

A. Clay Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I´m so so happy for you and everyone else who can go to one or more of these dates. And I´m very curious what he means with stripped down band . I'm pretty certain he means the band will be wearing birthday suits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh, how do we do the presale? I'm so confused lol!!! while the choir was a great idea for the last gigs, i'm hoping this time, it's really stripped down to Mika, a piano & a few other instruments with no other distraction i would love to hear his voice in that setting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
