unfortunately i had some trouble with the poster being too big for this page, so instead i will attach a rather becoming photo of the chai tent, which i think might have been taken by russ... i will also place this link here so that if you want to know more info about the 'fest you can simply click to your heart's content!

i always find it funny that on their website, the Down to Earth (the organisers) people sound like mean old school teachers. NO PETS! NO GLASS! NO DRIVING AFTER DARK! NO SMALL FIRES! YOU MUST VOLUNTEER FOR YOUR TWO HOURS!!! they sound so bossy, but when you get there it's really, really laid back and fun! strange that they make their website a bit mean. oh well. i'm going and it's gonna be GREAT! just ask bec rowe...! she's like, the most excited i've ever seen her. hehe :)

How do your piece on terezin end up? Did you know the leonard cohen song "dance me to the end of love" was written about that place. The "burning violin" refers to the music played as the jews were marched to their deaths.
On a lighter note, I see you are a fan of confest. I'm also going there this easter/pesach. Should be fun.

Hey,
Thanks for your comment. I haven't really written a 'piece' on Theresienstadt since my thesis in 2004! But that went ok! :) No, i didn't know about the Leonard Cohen song but thanks for the tip - I'll look for it.
Have you been to Confest before? I love it - can't wait! Have just got back from 6 cold weeks in Geneva and I'm really looking forward to some under-a-gum-tree time!
Cheers
Jess
