ja. das war spätestestens beim treffen in der kantine klar bzw. sehr sehr
warhscheinlich. am ersten arbeitstag kann man nichts in einem haus machen.
spielzeiteröffung heißt im theater profil zu zeigen. ich habe mehrfach
versucht deine aufmerksamkeit zu bekommen, um dir die Situation klar zu
machen - dass nämlich ein juger Dramaturg (der gerade eine Veranstaltung
von einem Freund von mir - Andreas Bartsch, nicht organisiert bekommen
hat) im haus einfach nichts zu melden hat. man hätte sofort an die
chefdramaturgin ran gemusst und zwar auch mit einem ästhetisch
abgesichterten konzept. Ohne vermittlung kann es an einem theater wie der
VB nicht klappen.

du hast mich aber ignoriert, offensichtlich, weil ich über die wos die CC
und ihre albernen Promoter kritisiert habe.

die freie software bewegung ist wichtig. hätte wirklich gern geholfen.
wenn kritik allerdings verboten ist, dann sind wir wohl noch nicht einmal
im Liberalismus angekommen. schade.

glück zu allen

We then had to find a new venue for wos4, which

> 14.-16. September
