Of course I didn’t get on my way to Fulda as early as I wanted to.
B. was wondering if something happend.

We arrived in Fulda at half past four. I drove into the parking garage oposite of the Esperanto. I found an advantageaous place in the first floor close to the staircase. There were two parking lots, one of them already occupied by: another Prius!!

At first I checked in at the hotel. At least I tried. For the night to friday I made an extra reservation over HRS. The hotel received it but cancelled it. I was quiete upset but there were enough rooms so it was no problem in the end. But my „offical“ room was already occupied so I had to move the next morning.

We made a little tour through Fulda. We went through the palace garden toward the cathedral an went inside.

On our quest for finding some food we discovered a nice Italian restaurant with delicious dishes. It was really hard to choose one, the all sounded good.

B. escorted me back to the Esperanto and we talked quite a while.
When he finally looked for a train to Kassel he discovered there was no direct one. Only one with a long stop on a small station on the way. He decided to stay with me in Fulda and we went up to the Bar at the 6th floor.

He really enjoyed the evening there. Marc B. Lee was the party animal once again and dancing on a small table most of the time. When they played „You can leave your hat on“ he made a little strip. Unfortunately only his T-shirt but rewarded with lots of applause and hoot.

It was a real nice evening and B. said he’ll come to the next Ring*Con if he’s single that time. Just for attending the party.

And that was only the pre-party.Warming up for the real ones.
