This event sounds outstanding. I would attend had I the wherewithal.
I am not even kidding.
You people need to read The Pleasure of Ruins.
My parents had the Pleasure of Ruins on a low bookshelf when I was little - I looked at it pretty often! It was next to the confusing titled book "Man deserves Man."
Man DOES deserve Man! Or at least, this man deserves one :D
