Who The #@$#&^!! Is Mika!!!!
Man I'm getting old...
I worked this show for some sort of British children's star called Mika. I think it was....
There's a real security hang up happening around town. Setup crews are now barred from the inside of venues until the show ends. We were allowed to hang out in the the theatres rehearsal room up on the forth floor of the Orpheum. When we are supposed to muster in the crew rooms down stairs. But, all the brand new "trained for the Olympics" Star Security geeks that seem to be the security company of choice thease days, weren't listening to us. Of Course the HC gets all bitchy that we didn't report in. But, how could we with the radio Nazi telling us otherwise.
The Stage set was like a children's show. And during the event we could hear what sounded like kids songs, and cartoon vignettes thru the production monitors upstairs. After the show came down confetti was everywhere. But, after we opened the stage doors to push out the the band gear we heard this huge Beatlemania - like screaming coming from the street. And outside on the side walk here all these teen girls with posters and pens looking for anyone to sign stuff. many who seemed to even be in their 20 dressed like boho clowns. Sort of a cross between raggedy Ann and retro 80's new wavers. Sort of Kiddie punk. man I felt old.
( It was only after when I checked the net to figure out if this person was male, or female and band or a singer or what... That I found out that this GUY is sort of the flavour of the year male singer for the gay community. And more importantly, the local contingent of FH young girls who will burn their panties for quasi fem guys who cock tease about their real sexuality. That this guy is basically the new Elton John. )
The set went out out easy. and the crowd melted away as soon as the band members came out to sign autographs. But I really never get half of the shows I work on now. This, I guess is age kicking in....
Hey you kids... get off my lawn!!!!
