MIKA

Did anyone come to the Mika concert at the El Rey in LA last Wednesday? (Rhyming not intended) If you did then you know it was amazing. If you didn't I pity you. Either way I have a story to tell you. So, I found out about this concert the DAY it was happening. It was sold out, and I was heartbroken. That night after I got home from school, I asked my Dad if we could go to the theater and see if anyone was selling tickets. Since he's so great, he let me go. When we got to the theater we saw that the line was MASSIVE. We walked up to the box office, but they had no extra tickets. So we walked in front of the theater a couple times, and a guy came over to us and asked if we needed tickets. He sold two of them to us for $80, a pretty good price. I was nervous that the tickets might not work, but when we got to the door and they scanned them there was a small beep, which meant they worked. We got inside and two guys DJed for 45 minutes, and they weren't that great. But I later found out that they were part of Mika's band and they were very talented guys, so that made me like them much more. When Mika came on he started playing "Grace Kelly" and everyone LOVED it. I sang along to every song. At about 11:00 I had to leave because I had school the next day and had I stayed later, I would've woken up 2 hours late. Before I left I bought a cool t- shirt from the merch booth. In the morning and throughout the whole day, I was dead tired. But it was so worth it because I will never forget that concert. Especially the part when Mika scanned the room, looked at me, and smiled.
