While I rewatch the BBC-broadcast of yesterdays Songcontest (just love Graham Norton as commentator) I kind of say “ByeBye” to an amazing ESC week in Vienna. Despite the cold and the rain – yesterday it really was raining cats and dogs.
Some wet impression from the Eurovision Village at the day of the Grand Final – I´d never had have expected so many people to come, the square was packed until the Burgtheater. Such a huge party!

Good bye to an amazing event in Vienna, fabulous guests from all over Europe and Australia and so much much fun – despite the rain and the cold! Only one year to go until we see each other again in Sweden!

waiting in line – a rising phoenix – a dancing host – dancing Australians – just a huge party at Stadthalle Wien
Today was my big Eurovision day – it wasn´t that easy but we scored tickets for the Jury Final of the grand ESC-Final. And it was just awesome – I´ve loved the Songcontest since I´ve been a little child, back then my dream was to participate and win (despite the fact I absolutely can´t sing one straight tone) and later on to welcome the Eurovision Party to my hometown. I traveled to Düsseldorf in 2011 thinking it would never happen for Austria. But then there was Conchita – still the reigning “Queen of Europe”. Dreams do come true…
Some impressions from the party at Stadthalle, taken with my phone – don´t mind the quality, it´s just a little memento. We stood in front of the “green room” and it was also fun to watch Arabella Kiesbauer (one of the hosts) dancing to Guy Sebastian (Australia) between takes, Monika Linkytė (singer from Lithiania) enjoying the song from cyprus from John Karayiannis, partying Australiand and Austrians.
