So here I sit at my pc (which is a mac) and can’t attend KP this year. Worse than that, I’m reading all the posts of nice people on FB and pommesgabel.com and really getting an idea of what I’m missing. Really?
Well, to be honest, I’m feeling slightly lonely and stupid for not being there, but unfortunately 98% of the content I’m reading is about food, alcohol and other fun. Which is all very nice, but WTF? Is this really why we’re going to KP? Is it a big party trip, the Ballermann 6 of the LARP scene just with worse weather and more sauna instead of beaches? I know networking, partying, getting laid, all the good things that happen at such occasions.
And where’s the posts about that other intoxication? I want to be jealous because you had THE most important insight in larp history. I want to hate my job for not being at THE most intriguing mini-larp experience. I want to be angry because I missed THE best Claus Raasted presentation EVVAH.
Instead I’m going: Oh, just another week of drinking and hang-overs I’m missing. And then “seen and being seen”, right I’m not there. But so is Syksy, so I must be really important now.
Adapting Audrey Hepburn: “If you want to be the center of a party you just have to stay away from it.”
Or maybe: “I don’t want to be alone, I want to be left alone.”
