I was hesitating before traveling to Portugal to see Festa Das Lata in October 2010. It’s not the easiest destination to travel from Finland, the flights were expensive and this was not a regular gig but a festival. I didn’t know any local people and Portugal is not a familiar place to me. I still decided to go, I really wanted to see this one. It was the last possible gig for me before a long break, it felt important to travel and I was happy I did it. It was such a great gig. There were some drunken students, it was a kind of student festival and Mika performed very, very late but I didn’t mind. I was so happy to see Mika on stage. He must have been a bit tired that late hour but he did well and I met some old friends and had a lot of fun.
