(Enschede) as the Centre of the World – arrival
As mentioned on Saturday, it is all go this week in Enschede. Knowing that I was not going to have much time spare for the next week and a half, I was keen to get as many things done as possible today in Amsterdam. It was a case of rushing about like a mad person on my bicycle running errands, including getting my hair cut, before rushing back and getting packed in time to catch a train at 5.30pm. Pretty much everything managed, though, which was a nice surprise.
Our meeting point was the Villa de Bank close to the middle of Enschede, where as I arrived preparations were still underway for the exhibition. There was dinner laid on in a tent outside, and this combined with huge amounts of wine and my earlier hyperactivity made sure that I was very glad to get bed. Some confusion existed about where exactly that might be, but I was eventually able to find a place at the DAI house. A bed is a bed, after all.
