Karlstad, You Don't Disappoint

This city is ready for the schlager festival. Apparently, Anton Ewald, one of the artists for the Second Chance round was on the same train. I got off the train and saw people holding Melodifestivalen signs. I stopped to take a picture and realized they were there to pick up one of the artists, so I kept filming for a few seconds. Anton took the opportunity to mug for the camera as he walked past.


Anton Ewald is in good spirits.


Karlstad wants you to know it's hosting the contest.

A banner next to a stage in a shopping mall. "The city where everyone is a winner. A Second Chance, the Second of March."

And a blurry pic of a "Schlagerbakelse", a Melodifestival pastry on offer at the local grocery store. You get two purple marzipan covered cakes with a triangular music note decoration on top.  All for 40 kronor ($6.50 approximately).

    Well. Anton is welcome in Texas too... what a cutie! And if he brings a bag of Schlagerbakelse he doesn't even have to knock before coming in. ;)

      Ha! He's definitely a cutie. I'm surprised he's in the second chance round and not the final. He has a good song and I would've thought "the cute factor" could have pushed him into the final.

    He's also on the list of the top 25 hottest guys in Sweden. I knew I had good taste. ;)
