B4_RVK_GV_INFO_ISSUE 05_2007_LISTINGS
Saturday evening May 12 won’t be
just another weekend party night
in the country. This particular Sat-
urday happens to be Election Day
when Icelanders will get the chance
to vote on which political party will
be in government for the next four
years.
But that’s not all folks. The Eu-
rovision competition takes place at
the same time, and if all goes well
in the preliminary, Eiríkur “The Vi-
king” Hauksson will be singing his
ass of in Helsinki that same night.
If Hauksson would happen to win
the damn competition, he will be
singing the victory song at the ex-
act same time as the first election
numbers are announced.
This unique scenario is bound to
break some world record in drink-
ing and TV watching, (compared to
population of course) as a long lo-
cal tradition obligates everyone to
celebrate like there’s no tomorrow.
Both happenings are broadcasted
live on National TV, channel 1.
