Nina somehow got the ticket to watch „Hair“ at the local university, some student troupe is playing it. I still didn't know much of that area around the university, specially this area north of the extension of our street - the university I knew was south of it. The campus (aka camp, field), in the stricter sense, would be north. Or... I think this part is a more recent addition, the part that's interspersed with the city being older. So I studied the map again (on paper or on screen, that is the question) and gathered that the place is not too hard to find. We could even walk there, but just in case and it being a night, better by car.

And okay, the play is better than what we saw in Zadar in 1978, by some travelling troupe. The students thought it better, built atmosphere by entering their roles an hour in advance and mingled with the audience in that outfit and mood. Nina found some guy to chat with, so I stood mostly aside, but it seems not enough. Possibly the guy was the sound majstor for the evening, so he had to vanish soon.

There, if I didn't have a chance to see it in Atelje 212* in 1968, give what you give. Not bad, all in all, though the taking off scene wasn't performed all the way to the original.

Amazingly, just two emails on this day. One is an invitation to yet another fox conference, a part of a larger event by m$'s, on „Visual studio“ so you can attend the VS and VC++ conferences as well, and there's a separate thread of lectures on „dot net from fox perspective“, which must have been by Rob McBleam of A-burg, he soon published a book on that, „how to dive into dot net if coming from fox“. The main lecturers are Rick Strahl and Markus Egger - the former with a separate course on „how to run a web app from fox“, and the other... well, can't remember what he was pushing, he was in some outfit in Houston, they published the „Code magazine“.

The other is an automated response after I registered the AVG, the czech antivirus app that I use... for as long as it's free. I see the email address I use is sGradlj@yahoo.com.
