    About this ebook

    If you have ever watched the Eurovision Song Contest on TV, you have probably wondered what it might be like going there. This year my family did just that, going from Australia to Malmö to see the world’s largest annual music event. This is my story of going to Eurovision - what its like, what you see and what it will be like in Denmark in 2014. If you cant get there, this is how amazing it is!
    It is an unforgettable experience.

    About the author - Eero Tarik has published 400 works under a variety of pen names.

    Reviews of some of his other works include...
    *****OMG! That was the very best laugh ever! I laughed until the tears fell!
    *****This book is a classic Sci-fi tale of sex, loneliness and the human condition that will keep you turning pages - Highly recommended!!!
    *****This is a very clever sci-fi short story. It takes a bored and tired bachelor and puts him in an extremely strange and comedic position and we get to watch him struggle to get out of it.
    *****I love the way you published this book with Cyclone Sandy hitting the USA today. If human kind doesn't stop, then Mother Nature will stop it for you. Good work and was interesting reading especially today with all the events taking place.

    Eero Tarik

    A few years ago I started to write and publish short stories using a variety of pen names. In 2011, I wrote and published over a million words. I write using over a dozen pen names and have published over 700 titles that represent over 1,500 short stories, novellas and plays. My works cover 8 of the 10 categories of the Dewey Decimal system. If you had a list of the most prolific short story writers in all of human history I would easily fit in the top ten - and that is only from the last five years of my output as a writer. Recently I turned my hand to writing science fiction. I love imagining what might be in the future, but it may not always be rosy so you tend not to see the hero saving the world on the last page on my stories. For those looking for sci fi short movie ideas, why don't you try some of my ebooks? There are plenty of new and innovative concepts to discover. Speaking of discoverying... I recently discovered that I am genetically a Saami. I suspect part of that identity, and the thousands of years of isolation from humankind in my genes, also comes out in some of my stories. I write quickly, to tell a simple and entertaining story. I imagine we are sitting around the camp-fire in an era long gone. The story should be sharp and to the point so that it is memorable. I don't believe in filling 300 pages with mindless waffle. I don't plan my stories - I put my fingers on the keyboard and let them tell the story - the ending often unfolds from my fingertips without even thinking what it might be. My favourite sci-fi short stories of the ones I have published so far? I really enjoyed writing 2094, it had been forming in my mind for many years. In 2012, the cover of 2094 was sent to the edge of space on a hot air balloon and then returned - that was a great thrill. The Multiverse Traveler is another favourite and I am tempted to continue on with it into other stories. May I recommend, Androgyne, a recent addition to my bookshelf and a story I thoroughly enjoyed telling, and Avatar Gods which just felt amazing to write. I love the emotion it generates. It really adds to the atmosphere if you listen to the songs mentioned in the story. I also have experimented with putting music to my works, my series Fembot Wars has an album of music set to the theme of the ebook series. I have published the songs under the name of an avatar I created, a musical pen name. I recently began to write short plays for the ten minute play market, I hope you enjoy them. They are usually funny and to the point! Finally, I enjoy listening to music as I write, it provides the stimulation for moods. Here is my writing playlist on Youtube, for those interested... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3ir9HC9vYg&list=PLJhp5_YdP2W5elxXaHTxZVoUxDNmW_W89 For more information and to contact me, go to my website which is listed below.

      LET’S GO TO EUROVISION!

      If you have ever watched the Eurovision Song Contest on TV, you have probably wondered what it might be like going there. This year my family did just that, going from Australia to Malmö to see the world’s largest annual music event, an event which has been held every year for over 50 years.

      This is our story; this is what it is like to go to Eurovision. For those of you heading to Denmark in 2014 for the next Eurovision Song Content, this is also an invaluable guide as to what you can expect. It is an experience of a life time, I can assure you.

      It was May 2012 and Loreen had just won the Eurovision Song Contest for Sweden, which meant the contest would be held in Sweden in 2013.

      As a family, we watched the competition on TV, here in Australia, as we had done every year, for ages. We would watch the semi-finals, watch it on the internet and watch the final on TV. There was never enough Eurovision.

      As we sat there watching the result of the final in 2012, my sixteen year old son looked at me and simply said, Let’s go and that was the beginning of our trans global journey from Australia to Malmö to see Eurovision 2013.

      Being crazy, myself, I didn't need much encouragement to go, especially since the event was being held in a civilised country like Sweden, and we were soon planning what we expected to be a trip to Stockholm.

      But it wasn’t long before we discovered that the Swedes were in favour of a smaller event and were giving serious consideration to hosting Eurovision in Malmö, a city in that country's south west. We
