So, on Saturday I went with Vic only. We checked in, Vic went to sleep (Robin way pretty wild just before morning), and I spread registration papers down in the lunchroom. Then started the first surprise out of many the boarding house prepared for us. We agreed to have lunch between noon and 2 pm, so I arranged with the lady manager that the first group of lunches will be at 12:30 for those, who are there then, and the second will be prepared at 1:30 for the rest. Some time later we could hear a cook screaming in the kitchen that she can fuck it, what the hell we all think, that she will not serve the lunch for two hours, and why we can, damn it, eat all at the same time... She screamed for ten minutes.
Surprisingly everybody showed up before quarter to one, so we ate all together. Tomáš Machalíků came last (originally he should have shown up at 11), so we set up the school and were ready to start at two.
The school was great on its own; it was completely different than the previous ones. Partially that was due to chosen topics, but mostly it was due to Vic’s knowledge and personality. International participants, Thomas Köder and Uwe Themann, contributed to the good spirits. Also Lenka with little Robin showed up at the end, so everything was OK. Although she had to feed the baby every two hours, poor girl.Another problem was the boarding house. Although they promised me heaven and earth before, during the event almost everything was a problem. First there was not enough food. When I protested the manager told me angrily that I wanted “light food”. Luckily, this improved, but the final meal that we paid extra for, was a joke. Completely incomprehensible was behavior of the bar personnel. Although they knew that we had a break every day from 10:30, the bar was always closed with exception of one day. They absolutely did not care, that we would buy drinks and that they lost money in the result. They also behaved nonsensically during evenings. They closed at eight, so we had the after party in the school.
