Boom Bang a Bloggers - you are cordially invited to a meet up of Eurovision fans - in Liverpool!
We know what you're thinking. There's been a few contenders for 2010 revealed to our unwitting eyes and ears by now. There's that bloke from Switzerland whose song sounds a bit dirty, the demo from the Netherlands which defies description, Albania's Happy Shopper version of Womanizer and then there's the singers without portfolio: Tom Dice for Belgium, Harel Skaat for Israel and that gentleman with the very long name for Ukraine.
You must be itching to talk about it with someone, somebody who truly empathises with you in your plight as a Eurovision fan. Well, we're here to help.
On Sunday, February 7, a gaggle of fans will assemble at Dr Duncan's in Liverpool (good pub, they do real ale and Nobby's Nuts) and talk about what's coming up Contest-wise. These meet-ups have been going on for about five years now - but that doesn't mean we don't welcome newcomers.
If you can get to Liverpool in the afternoon that day - there are no footie fixtures, unless the snowed off matches are squeezed in at short notice, so it should be easy enough to find a seat - and have never been before, trust me, you'll be made very welcome. And if you're not sure about turning up on your own, please feel free to bring a chum for moral support!
If you know Liverpool, but don't know where Dr Duncan's is, the link to it on Google maps is here.
All we ask is that anyone who plans to turn up gets in touch with us beforehand as there may be a meal in town to follow the drinks, etc. To register your interest, please email me at jamiemcloughlin@hotmail.com or jamie.mcloughlin@liverpool.com and I can send you more information about what's planned.
Hope to see you there!

Jamie McLoughlin - The news editor of Southport Visiter reveals all about his musical hobby that more people should admit to having.
And we are really all lovely cuddly people, honest
There's also a meal out at the end of the afternoon for those who feel peckish though there's always some reprobate dypsomaniacs (sorry, fun-loving imbibers) who will stay and drink the pub dry instead
Would be great to meet some new Eurovision anoraks!
How anoraky do anoraks have to be? Will a small Eurovision waterproof (with an optional rain hood) be acceptable?
Scottieboy, that sounds fine. I myself will be wearing my Ruslana all-in-one bodysuit with matching trilby. If that hasn't scared you too much, hope to see you there!
Would love to join you, but unfortunately I will be travelling back from the Melodi Grand Prix Final in Oslo!
Phil, would you like to a report on your MGP adventures for this blog? If so, drop us an email on either of the addresses listen in the meet-up email.
