FEED US NOW EASA people are hungry people. At the first breakfast, we already ate all the cereal for two days. At the pig roast we ate all of the potatoes that were supposed to be for vegetarians. On the second day we finished all the NINJA food before everybody had eaten. So some people had to find the local pizza place to feed themselves. WASTELANDS organisers have offered an explanation ‘They were supposed to make enough food for 500 people’. Clearly perplexed, Ville took it upon himself to bring everybody out for a candlelit dinner in a local eatery. Although there was room for 40 people and it was announced in a lecture, only a lucky 20 people got to eat the tasty finnish pasta dish and have nice civilised conversation while people called ‘waiters’ took our plates away to be cleaned. So let’s hope that the portions will be increased for tonight’s dinner and we can be full of energy for the busy days ahead BUT don’t be greedy. This is not a FAT camp but we might just lose some weight..
WORKSHOP FAIR CULTURE TRAM Everybody crammed into the bar yesterday morning looking for their ideal workshop. Motivated by a desire to develop some new skills, explore a personal interest or just experiment with something really crazy to open the mind. It was a tough decision for all with so many exciting new ideas among over 40 workshops (an unprecedented number for any easa). True to the Wastelands theme there was a lot of demolition, destruction and re-use but also some workshops who wanted to explore the more theoretical and ideological concept of a wasteland, others choosing to explore bodily movements and visual perception. As usual, the selection process was fraught with hard decisions about how to select participants and while the organisers tried to implement a new system of ‘2nd choices’, there were a lot of people who were not assigned a workshop. In ROUND TWO participants should check to see if they were selected for a workshop and if NOT they should sign have signed up for one of the workshops still looking to fill places. SO if you are not in a workshop, you can join EASA.FM/UMBRELLA/EASA.TV we are upstairs in the IT lab and we are looking for some people to help us document #EASA012 #WASTELANDS
At 1pm tomorrow and Friday you can take the no.5 tram from the opera to experience live music and a cool exhibition of wastelands. It will circle the line until 4pm so you can jump on at any time. VIP guest from Ireland Blathmhac will be entertaining us with his traditional elbow pipes - he’s been practising around EASA SITE. Its a good chance to try out that expensive travel card you have all been given…
