AI transition party
AI transition party took part in Rotterdam and lasted for three days. The purpose of this party is obvious: informal handover (not hangover... it comes later!:)) of AI term from AI team 2006/2007 to the new AI team 2007/2008. Let's take it by days, again:
Friday
As I have already written before, it was a nice evening full of friendly atmosphere and Czech beer (= free and served in 0,5l caps!!! - read more about Dutch beer conventions here). I met with Mena and other Czech guys who arrived on Friday afternoon. It was more about chatting than partying, so as to get in shape for Saturday.Saturday
During the day there were games in the park (again, already mentioned in the previous post) and in the evening there was the most important part(y)... the handover party! Dey and Gabiza had their final speech on behalf of AI0607, Gabiza added few words heading to the future and "old" team members were given a gift from the new team. It wasn't that sentimental as it may seem because everyone was already in a party mood:) We've also seen a cool performance of Capoeira by Laura and her "guys":)
Although the DJs were Gee and Ondro from the outgoing team, the music might have been better in my opinion, as sometimes the genre was too narrow. It was great, maybe I just expected it to be excellent...This party wasn't about music, of course, and I really enjoyed it, meeting so many people... I definitely didn't talk to everyone I had intended :(
Despite this, probably due to the fact that most of the present people were current and former AI or MC members, I guess that expectations of some people might have not been fully met.
Well, thit is it, the AI transition party 2006/2008.
SundayThere was a semi-organized chill-out on Sunday morning held on the beach (yes, that artificial beach where we go to dance salsa). I didn't participate because I was in a train to Paris that time...;)
Overall I don't have many pictures from this event, as there was so many people with camera around that I even didn't take mine. And it is not easy to gather these pics later on.
Zeno is leaving tomorrow, on Monday, so I'll be alone in my room when I return from Paris... I'll miss his company for sure, as well as his wise sayings, especially "You're so young, so naive" - his favourite one:)
