Sorry for the blog silence on Friday - I had planned to do a quick blogpost in the morning, and then fair prep took over my brain, and that was that.
Fair prep was, little surprising, taking longer than usual. Well, fair prep always takes longer than planned or intended, and there's usually something that does not get done because it gets forgotten, or there's just not enough time anymore - but not having done this for more than two years, everything was very rusty and everything took even longer than the normal longer than usual.
No really important things got forgotten, though, everything fit into the car, and actually standing at a market stall again with real people stopping by to chat and look at things and buy whatever they needed was a wonderful change to everything online only.
I also got to hang out again with Margit from Alte Künste, as we shared fair space as usual.
On Sunday evening, it was the usual more-or-less chaotic packing, stuffing everything into the car, and now I'm sitting on the train on my way to Vienna for a bit of vocational training, an opportunity that I got thanks to EuroWeb. Which is absolutely wonderful and glorious, and I'm so looking forward to that, even if the timing is not perfect. (Prepping for the training workshop had to take place in parallel with the fair prep, and when I came home yesterday night, the bag for going to Vienna was already packed, so there was only the washbag to transfer over.)
The next few days, I'll get to discuss theoretical frameworks and terminology frameworks for visual identities with colleagues - that will certainly be a very interesting thing to do. It will also mean you're getting blog silence again - I'll be back here and writing on Monday, May 2.
Have a lovely week (I'm sure I will!)
