Diary entry, 14.03.2011, Kurt Kotrschal
Not always is science deadly serious and nor always serious scientists do serious things. But nobody should thhink that the carneval in Ernstbrunn wouldnt be a very serious matter :-)
Asked whether we would want to contribute to the Carneval parade in Ernstbrunn, Sunday, March 3rd, our joy was limited. Because, finally, this means extra work. But Patricia managed to build up the groups motivation.
But what topic? In all known fairy tales wolves have a pretty bad role. So, it was decided to dress as "Jungle book". Has a lot to do with animals and Akela is a wolf, after all.
Realizing that plan meant some work indeed. This included cleaning our Volkswagen "Amorok" pickup and getting a lot of paint into the faces of the WSC collaborators (thanks a lot Karin Bayer!) On Sundy afternoon, the WSC was part of the Ernstbrunn parade, attended by 5000 visitors. Its a shame, I know, but I could not be part of it ..
This was great and important to become part of the local community. A big thank you to all who were so engaged!
