After the first coordination meeting, we still have a lot of open matters (acoustics, scene, supporting, presents, tenders and games). When work with press-releases, annonces and official documents had done, another work began. There were started long conversation with The City Administration, dialogs with sponsors searching Informing partners, on-line PR, forming buying list and etc.
Over the course of time more and more volunteers joined to help with organisation.

At the day of festival there are began the test of all ideas and level of preparations.
We opened The registartion for one hour early, because we were very worry not to be in time according the reglament.
Everything were going so fast and already after one hour there heppened one little embarrassment - the bicycle numbers had done.
