Last night I was supposed to go to the Mika concert. I got home at 4:30, took a shower, got ready, and then waited for Mary to show up so we could drive up to the concert. We finally left around 6:30 (the concert was supposed to start at 7) and got in line around 7:12.
At 8:30, we were still in line.
What happened was this: Supposedly, Mika left his sound equipment in the last place he performed, so he was going to perform a 45 minute acoustic show, or we could get a third of our money back. Either way, we had to wait in line.
We waited, waited, waited, waited… And finally gave up. Both of us were wearing tights and short skirts, and our toes were falling off from the cold. (I was all for paying some guy to keep me warm, mind you.) We decided it wasn’t worth waiting in line forever for $10 or a 45-minute acoustic show. (Mary decided more than I did.)
We left, and drove to the nearest mall, where we bought normal people clothes (pants, sweaters, shirts instead of leggings, fishnet tights, silky dresses). Then we went to Smith’s to get pizza. While we were there, there we these black guys that kept checking us out. I thought they were pretty cute, but Mary thought them hitting on us was creepy. After we left Smith’s, we were at a stop light, and those guys were in the car next to us! They rolled down their window and gave us one of their numbers (which I still have, but haven’t used).
We went to Amber’s apartment, where we talked, listened to music, and ate our pizza, then watched half of Phantom of the Opera. Mary and I decided to leave at 2 in the morning, and when we did, we discovered that it was impossible to get my car out of the parking spot where we left it. Amber lives on a really steep hill, and I parked dangerously close to a car in front of me, and my car wouldn’t go backwards. It took us a good 45 minutes (in which two guys walked past and just commented on our predicament, instead of helping. thanks guys.) but we got out using cardboard, wood, sand, and our bodies.
That was my night.
By the way, I wish I woulda stayed at the concert. Pbbbth.
My friend went to that concert. She said it was the best concert ever. Hm. Maybe she was trying to deceive me?
I know it was almost 4 years ago and you probalby won’t even read my comment, but I wanna say something.
First of all, Mika is not stupid.
Second, the line where you’re saying that “Mika left his sound equipment in the last place he performed” is not exactly true.
Third, you have not idea what you missed. But if you are reading my comment now and you wanna know what kind of performance that was, I suggest you to watch this short documentary about that concert.
It was really special concert and many people would do anything for possibility to be there.
