Many of you don't know (Since I don't update this chunk of text often) that I was on an event called the "Festival Fantazie 2009", which took part in Chotěboř, Czech republic. This was an 11-day festival for people who are interested in all sorts of 'fantastic' stuff, such as sci-fi, fantasy, TV series and much more.

The statistics say that there were 2000 people, over 1500 programs on roughly 40 program lines. That makes it the longest and largest (program richness-wise) fantasy festival in central Europe. Another interesting thing was that the Festival was the first place to taste the new "Chotěboř" beer. It ended when we drank the entire brewery (44 barrels).

From the programs I enjoyed mostly the "Trekfest", although I'm not a trekkie. They had the most 'teambuilding' activities which were also focused on larger audience - the Sci-Fi campfire (singing the classic campfire songs with sci-fi lyrics around a 'real' campfire) - the Hawai Night (a large happening where everyone had to wear the classic hawai clothing, there was a bar with cocktails and lots of games including Limbo and Cosplay, which I somehow won XD ) Irony was that again, the bar with cocktails fell somehow fast, as they probably didnt await such huge demand for cocktails (especially from the Slovak side, when most of the time we were around the bar)

The later days weren't so full of organised fun or programs, so I mostly spent my time with the Torchwood community. Later, when the new 3rd series of Torchwood came, we watched it each evening.
Apart from that I had 4 presentations during the festival, two about architecture (with large audience), one about Mass Effect and one about SSR (very small audience). Nonetheless, if I had to talk about every day of the festival, this journal would become awfully long and unreadable (Its ALREADY long enough XD).
Therefore I'll conclude it with my subjective verdict of 95% for the entire fest. It was a great, though exhausting experience. For next years it is planned to encourage foreigners to come, as there will be more programs for non-czech-speaking people.

And apart from that, on 16th I'll have my 20th birthday. Compared to the fest it looks almost negligible
