2009 Eurovision Song Contest Tech Blog - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

The Eurovision Song contest is a ridiculously huge pop music spectacle that gets put on every year (in Europe naturally) and while I'm not really interested in the show itself, the work that goes into creating it is amazing. The production team keeps a photo diary of the load-in and setup so I though you might find it interesting.

I don't know any of these guys personally but I am contributing in a small way so I'm a little bit proud to see it coming together; even if I'm not getting my hands dirty on site.

An annual spectacle of political voting and outrageous results!

I always watch, and the UK do worse and worse as all the Eastern Europeans and Baltic states all vote for each other!

Whoa, wait. I just vagually heard about this contest this past Saturday.

The band "Beauty Queens", were they this year's winner, or am I a year late to this Euro party? (I heard they provided backing vocals to the winning song, and that's where I heard the name, Eurovision)
