We've awhile to go before October, 2009 rolls around. Athens, Cairo, Mexico City and Singapore were also in the running to host. The Bella Centre is where it all will be happening. What might we expect from this Session? My gut feeling is lots of surprises, benefiting it's laid-back atmosphere.
I don't anticipate (at least, not right now) a lot of bitter arguements, along the lines of what happened in Moscow in 2001. That one was high drama, for sure. The va-va-vroom feeling of Singapore filtered down to what happened in 2005.
Of course, lots can happen between now and then. I don't think the current calm and collected feeling is going to last for very long. We've got a little more than 1 1/2years to get worked up...and I am sure someone will say something to someone somewhere (got that?) and the gloves come off.
Copenhagen is a most befitting host. I have never been there but am looking forward to it. A friend of mine has been there and she said it was a wonderful and friendly place. And someone is coming away with a really big prize.
We're all staying calm-for now.
