A Ne Party Pas related thought. A lot of the energy behind Eurovision Again comes from lockdown making us unable to run our usual events/club nights. Once lockdown ends, what will have changed?
I think there's a much better chance of getting the EBU onboard with other fan initiatives. They've seen some nice things and positive results and that we're not scary people demanding the return of conductors in green ink.
The EBU might work out permanent relationships for distributing their archive, or at least doing something with it
The casual fans who miss Wogan will have watched a few old contests without him abusing the contestants and realise maybe he wasn't the best bit
Maybe the physical events we run will have some new people at them? Maybe there's a place for rewatch parties but in a cinema or something?
But mostly thinking about the here and now, it's fun, it gives some shape to my week and it's raising loads of money for charities that are close to my heart.
