I was, uh, I was moderating some fan stuff, so m- not really big part of it, but a, a kind of a part, and I was, uh, I was seeing the whole spectacle, and it was just so m- it's so much fun to go to Eurovision, honestly, and there's so many friends always go to the same event. So, uh, yeah, I, I literally just came back, like, uh, 10, 10 hours ago, so.
