WELCOME TO THE 10TH EDITION OF THE EUROVISION DIARY!

Oh boy!

The days are flying by FAST now! We’re FINALLY in dress rehearsals, and when I write this, we’re actually only 1.5 hour from going into our first live broadcast:Semi final Nr 1. Am I nervous? Not a bit, I got the BEST crew in the world on site, and I know that they will deliver what is expected from them.

THANKS GUYS! It’s been a pleasure!

This is the first thing we see every morning coming into the arena. I really like the security here, they are firm, but friendly, now when they know us as well as they do.

I guess someone in the organization thought that the guys in the Media Lounge started to look tired. Yesterday morning when we came, there was all of a sudden a bed behind the long row of Catalysts. Thank you! I think………

Hmmmmmmmm, is this really what it looks like? Hahahahahaha! I can’t tell you yet!

Meanwhile in the OB truck, our dear director, Andrey Boltenko and his assistent Sara Tjärnberg is working hard to get everything on track for the broadcasts! Being a director for this show is most probably the WORST job in the industry…….Hang in there guys!

Imagine that! A trash can full of food tickets? Why? Why? Why? Thank God for Crapdogs! All the restaurant owners around this venue can go on a permanent vacation after this production, since they made a FORTUNE thanks to our catering.

Here is Spain rehearsing. They didn’t rehearse today, but this picture really shows off the enormous PUNCH in the PRG Bad Boys! I love that fixture! The future is HERE!
