what a fantastic weekend.
i have so much to tell.
of course saturday was hectic. we woke up and started to prepare for eurovision 2003. of course it helped that we received the script a few hours before the show... but it was the usual stress and panic and then ... the realization that we are just going to have a good time... and be natural.
at 10:30 pm my first architectural series that i am co-producing aired. it was exciting to see my hard work pay off and i think it was a great show. it was about the getty museum in los angeles and it was informative and fun.
then at 11:20 pm the eurovision extravaganza started. we started with a live show of people involved in the project. present were serge sargsyan (minister of defense), bagrat sargsyan (president of armenia tv) sebastian dubois (head of the european community here) arthur grigorian (composer/ head of the state song theatre) nune yesayan, susan markarian, arthur ispirian (singers) and me. we talked for forty minutes about the importance of participating in the euro-vision song contest in 2004.
right after arthur (ispirian) and i ran to the sound studio where the armenian football commentator, commentates the football games and we set up for a night of commentating. the eurovision contest started and soon arthur and i relaxed. everybody said they felt that they were tuned in to our living room where we were intimately watching the show. they said it was natural, light and fun. although we are not experienced commentators and we were not very good, we were honest and fun... and a lot of people appreciated that.
as der hova said, turkey won and as der hova said... sertab erener (the girl who performed) did not deserve it. although they put on a good dance number and the presentation was a bit exotic... the vocal was horrible, the song mediocre and the vibe even worse. it totally detoured our great mood and great fun. so next year eurovision will be held in istanbul, turkey and armenia will send a representative. it will be an amazing moment when armenia wins next year... in istanbul.
we came home at four am and it took us a while to unwind. we had so many text messages on our cell phone from friends who were watching, friends who supported and those who were calling to poke fun at us.
the next day at the supermarket the guy who sells us meat... who never talks to me and hardly smiles... spoke his first words to me ever. madlene, he said.... who won last night? i just couldn't stay awake. the same thing kept repeating as many people recognized us and smiled. hmmm i think i am liking this whole stardom thing. lol
