MELT! and the luckiest guy of the world

So, lot's of stuff happened in between. Let me tell you how it happened that I was offline for a couple of days. Some people (including my parents) thought that I'm dead because my cell phone battery ran out... sorry for that! :)


I was very surprisingly at a festival, got the legal side of my business all sorted out, made new friends and had my first extended couchsurfing experience...
... so again not much happened actually.. ;)

Yeah, that was a really excellent time I had there at MELT! Festival - I just went there without any ticket or much anything and then I just walked into the festival. You've ever seen Derren Brown? That's what came to my mind when I approached the security guy checking my wrist band. I used my former wristbands from other events for paying like with paper. The security guy even checked my wristband physically and still let me pass. Check this out for seeing what I mean: Derren Brown - "Paying with Paper" ;)

And on the next day the guys from Liverpool, who got me into going there in the first place, found a ticket lying on the ground and decided to give it to me, so I may just be the "luckiest guy of the world". Oh, and I got the label of "unwakeable". ;)

I slept somewhere on the grass most of the time, people even had to leave me lying there because they couldn't wake me after the party was over, but I got a pretty good tan now - you wouldn't have thought that of a geek! ;)

The next two days were then spent CouchSurfing. First one of the friends from Liverpool stayed at my place, then we went around the city for sightseeing with another fellow couchsurfer. Very relaxed and beautiful two days.

A nice tour around the city in which we by the way also got to the c-base in which we will have TikiFestBLN2010 as it turned out. Stay tuned for more information about "WikiDev feat. TikiWiki, DokuWiki, WikiPedia" or whatever we'll call it - I'd still like WikiFest. ;)

A very good weekend with very nice people - thank you all again for everything! :)
