Can you believe that after all I managed to LOSE MY CAMERA somewhere between my flight back home and my car???:crybaby::crybaby: No luck so far after asking everyone from Delta to the airport parking, still holding on the faint hope it may show up... so many nice pics and vids I'll make a report later after I relax from losing my nice camera and my much nicer mementos from Saturday's shows.

rubberduckiiz2 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Do you remember which songs he did? Ah let's see... these will not be in order I can guarantee that haha: Grace Kelly Love Today Relax My Interpretation (just a part of it) Blame It on the Girls Big Girl Billy Brown Elle Me Dit / Emily Underwater Celebrate We Are Golden Stuck in the Middle (aka: the tap dance song --some other story I never knew) Blue Eyes Toy Boy Happy Ending Love You When I'm Drunk Popular Song Over My Shoulder I think that's it? Feel free to correct me, anyone. No chance of an encore because of the time limit. Thanks so much for your report. My body could not have withstood another gig but it's so hard to say goodbye to this tour. I'm glad so many got to experience it and I'm sure we'll look back on it as one of the highlights of Mika's career for years to come. Oh yes definitely. It was such a different show from the last time he was in Boston. Much less showy and this time I really felt like he was *real* y'know? Also, finally meeting him made it quite tangible haha. Thank you for your reports So what´s the story about hearing Relax in public for the first time, please? Let's see how good my memory is and see how it withstanded after being in a Mika daze for a while haha: So he said he wrote "Relax" around the time of the London tube bombings. So he was in a weird place when he wrote the song-- that's what it's about; a message telling everyone to relax and everything. So he went to a club in the East End of London with some friends and they're waiting outside the door because the giant bouncer won't let them in. Then, from inside the club, he hears "Relax" playing. And he just thinks to himself: "f#ck. This is it." His song is good enough to get into this club but he isn't. But then he says well at least it means they paid for my song (since this was before downloading music was a big deal and this was only out in 7" at the time). So he was just mulling over the strange journey a song can take: from such a strange dark place to a club in the East End of London that he can't even get into haha.

rubberduckiiz2 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Also: I hope any Bostonians in here are safe today. I was outside the city for the day and I count myself lucky for that, but I hope you and your loved ones are doing okay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was outside the city for the day and I count myself lucky for that, but I hope you and your loved ones are doing okay! I was thinking just the same. I left Boston last night and it's such an horrific shame what happened. Hope every Boston MFCer is alright and sending best wishes to the vitcims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
followthesound Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Aha! There you are! I was asking after you in the NY threads, thinking you surely wouldn't miss the tour altogether! Hi, Deb Here am I!! Yes, I moved away from New York since the 2009 tour, now I am way, way down in South America (now Chile and from August on back to my Brazil). So I ended up missing last year's fall tour but fortunately managed to be in Boston for the last intimate show (I still have so many fond memories of Le Poisson Rouge 2009!!) What a shame! I hope the camera turns up! How heartbreaking. Yes, :'( thankfully the lovely memories of the Boston show will not be as easy to lose!! I still hope the camera miraculously shows up... Actually this is the first time I am actually happy I wasnt able to take a pic with Mika after the show. If I had got it and the lost the camera afterwards I probably would have gone crazy by now... (focusing on the silver lining in a it could have been so much worse kind of way... :/) At least the autographed Origin of Love came back safe and sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I suppose you're right -- that it would have been worse to lose such a precious photo! I'll keep my fingers crossed that the camera turns up. My husband left his Kindle on our flight back from Iceland a few months ago -- left it in the seat back pocket -- but it eventually found its way back to him, so it could happen for you, too!

smokesignal Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I videoed the end of Happy Ending - the lighting isn't so good but I think the sound is perfect The show was fabulous, my first time seeing Mika - I hope not my last - everyone captured my feelings - I have so many it was perfect [YOUTUBE]bMYkDLGIhYY[/YOUTUBE] He's wonderful. Some people in the audience need to be kicked out of the venue though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
