Unfortunately, we must take a break from the chair shenanigans to discuss Carnivale. A significant celebration, which I thought was only significant on this side of the Italy/Slovenia border. That notion jumped out the window when I received the following email from the hostel in Ljubljana (which used to be a Yugoslavian prison) where I will be staying next weekend, when my brother comes to visit.
Hello,
Our bar staff organising the party during your stay and it would be really great if you could join us.
I am just sending you their invitation and it would be also great if you could tell me if you are interested in that party...
****We would like to invite you to our carnival party on Saturday 21st February. In our hostel we will organize a masquerade, dance in masks with our local DJ playing disco funk music. You can dress up however you wish to release your imagination, or we can help you by giving you face masks, so that you can join the party anonymously. A competition will also be held for choosing the best three masks and rewarding it properly. Through the whole night our "evil" barman will mix carnival cocktails and shooters so you will not go thirsty. Each mask will also get a welcome drink to get you started. The party in the hostel will last until 1 o'clock, after which our staff can help you with directions for continuing the party. We would like to know, if you are interested in joining us on our quest to banish winter so that we can make adequate preparations.****
Kind regards,
Hostel Celica
I told them that banishing winter was one of my top priorities, especially when disco funk music and evil barmen are involved...it should be quite the weekend.
