This years' Xzentrix was somewhat ill-fated. First of all, there a water pipe burst in the hall in which the Xzentrix was supposed to take place and the hosts
of the Xzentrix were informed of that just a few days before the meeting date. They got reassigned to a different hall with three limitations: 1. no barbecue,
2. no sleeping in the hall and 3. no showers.
So he traditional Xzentrix grill party was cancelled this year, though a few visitors did grill some stuff on a table grill in the kitchen. Also we viaolated against the sleeping
prohibition, but hey, were should this many people stay in a village with but one hotel? Only the lack of showers was a big disadvantage that couldn't be remediates easily.
Some just didn't shower at all, others tried to wash themselves with cold water over the sink or by jumping into the Starnberger lake. Both of these alternatives were suboptimal.
Besides that the party was great fun and way too short - as usual. Oh and some important people were dearly missed...
Hopefully next year we can go back to the regular meeting hall with showers and sportsmats and all the permanent guests!
Cheers,
Odie
