Hashtag Launch Party

After quite a few delays, we finally managed to have the launch for Hashtag Magazine. We had the launch at Alix's flat, and the shortcut through the NHS is actually quite lovely when taken during the day instead of in the dead of night. Of course, my walk home was still alarming. 

I think there must be a rabbit warren under the NHS complex, as I don't think I've ever walked through there without seeing at least one - I ended up walking through there twice in two days and saw a total of four bunnies.

I also finally got around to drinking the champaign I won for my knit+ presentation. 

I also saw what I assume was the same fox in the same place the two nights I walked home, which was pretty exciting as I'd never actually seen a fox before (I don't think anyways).

The Saturday night we went over to Leanne's for Eurovision. I'd never actually watched Eurovision before  and it wasn't quite as insane as I was expecting, but was still kind of amazing. We drew countries, and person whose country came in absolute last lost completely.

The Eurovision Song Contest, shortened to ESC, Eurovision, or EuroSong, is an annual song competition held among the member countries of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) since 1956.

Each member country submits a song to be performed on live television and radio and then casts votes for the other countries' songs to determine the most popular song in the competition. The contest has been broadcast every year since its inauguration in 1956 and is one of the longest-running television programmes in the world. It is also one of the most watched non-sporting events in the world, with audience figures having been quoted in recent years as anything between 100 million and 600 million internationally. (x)

Austria won this year with Conchita Wurst's Rise Like a Phoenix - you can see the video of her song in the link. (x)
