We all really learned a lesson today. One of our brothers fell out of window, trying to escape from his room, where he was locked by chance. He cried loud but nobody could hear him from there, so he decided to climb out. He is no good climber though.
Thanks to forces of nature he just has some bruises and cracked elbow. Lets hope nothing worse may happen.
And here are the news from Radvanec, Czech Republik, Michal’s kingdom, as they were send to us by email. Dankeshön, bitteschönn.

WEDNESDAY (unfortunately in some strange languages)
Dzisiaj mielismy duzo pracy. Grupa filmowa zaczela krecic scenki do filmu. Nie bylo latwo, poniewaz rezyser jest bardzo surowy, ale mamy nadzieje, ze beda tego efekty.
Grupa newsow probowala dotrzec do miejsca skad dochadza przerazajace odglosy. Wykazali sie niezwykla odwaga wchodzac do budzacej strach jaskini.
Nasi edytorzy zajmowali sie robieniem efektow w krotkim filmie pt.,,football”. Adela I Mateusz zmontowali nagrania newsow.
Wieczorem widzielisny efekty naszej ciezkiej pracy I zamiast isc spac krecilismy dalej film. Mimo tego ciezkiej pracy zawsze jestesmy usmiechnieci.
Wir haben heute viel Arbeit gehabt. Die Film-Gruppe hat die Arbeit am Film begonnen. Es war nicht leicht, denn der Regisseur ist sehr streng. Wir hoffen aber, dass wir am Ende alle zufrieden sind. Die News-Gruppe hat versucht, an den Ort zu kommen, wo man seltsame und Angst jageude Geråusche hoert. Sie haben viel Mut gezeigt, indem sie in die Hoelle gekommen sind. Unsere Cutter haben sich mit kurzen Filmen unter dem Titel ,,Football” beschoeftigt. Adela und Mateusz haben News-Aufnamen montiert. Am Abend konnten wir Effekte unserer schweren Arbeit sehen und dann statt schlafen zu gehen, haben wir weiter denn Film gedreht. Obwohl wir stark gearbeitet haben, waren wir immer noch froh

Here came a new woman to the theatre group tommorow in the evening – Vesela, bulgarian beauty, who usualy leads theatre workshops at Lanterna. Unfortunately she had something else to do somewhere else, so Peter and Pavel took her place.
You can imagine, how it is to come into divided job. May be that’s the reason, why did theatre leaders have so long meetings. They had to discuss new strategy, change few things here and there, rearrange scenes, etc.
But as I heard, everything goes on well and their performance is going to be ready for Friday evening. And Simona (one of czech actors, its her first play, but we’ll certainly here about her) told me that it won’t even be so heavy-hearted piece, because with the new leader they were able to find some fun in their play. You know, once your name is Vesela, you can’t help yourself (this funny remark is only for czech speaking).
You won’t believe what happened today. I went to see, what are musicians doing and they said to me: “You can’t come in. We prepare a surprise. Nobody can enter.” Outrageous, I even said “Fuck off”, so angry I was 
. Now I realize I should have apologized myself for such a nasty talk – Sorry, I didn’t mean it, it was just expression of my surprise. But you know, you could let me in, I wouldn’t tell anyone. I never tell anything I see here.
But it was real problem, because I couldn’t take pictures, couldn’t see their work and evaluate it. WHAT a SHAME! What shall I do? And than something unbelievable and miraculous happened, my narrow-sighted eyes saw Moni, our vampire lady, who happens to be the translator for music group. SOLUTION from beyond the grave! Moni lended my camera a took my pictures for me. DANKE bardzo!
Hello, lo, how are you? Only short news today, because we are all very busy. It was the last day to finish all projects, all songs, all performances and everything we do. It is THE SHOW tommorow. THe Big Show, Presentation and stuff.
In design group we have a deadline untill tommorow 11 a.m., because our design profis have to take all our works to printing office to have it all printed. And you know it is not like that you just push one button, printing job takes a lot of time too.
That’s why all design agencies tried to make everything ready. Except of some our brothers, it took all our time and energy. Designing posters, puting together leporelo, finishing a booklet, preparing presentation, making another posters, drawing pictures, discussing, scanning, editing all on computers and Apples (because it is no PC, it is even no computer, but some strange machine looking like computer), etc. That’s design stuff . Enough talking, let’s see it.
We finaly got some news from Radvanec video workshop. Thery are like us – nice place to stay, very good kitchen, a lot of work and lot of fun. They worked on short films at first, and than they started to search their minds thoroughly to find compelling story for their film. We all hope we will see it too.
Musicians. They are not like other groups, they are more like a sect. Always secretive, don’t want to tell what they are preparing for the show. They don’t talk like normal people, they just make sounds and whistles. Strange Ones.
But they work, and they work hard. They practice and practice, they record and edit. They learn how to operate an amplifier. They improvise, looking for the right sound. They even recorded a short video, but I’m afraid we have no way how to make it digital and show to others.
In theatre group they started with brainstorming thing. They had evolved a short story on the stage with a man sitting in his chair and contemplating his life and than they said their ideas about it. And they was quite heavy and serious ideas by some theatre leute – loss in family, death, eternity, cycle of life and death, alienation, … Wow. Im starting to be worried about them, they are turning too philosohical. And philosophy, its not good for your body, nor your soul.
I was rather surprised by them. They still sat, and talked and no action. Where are they, these happy, shiny, theatre actors. Did they turn into zombies? Oh I hate these bloody vampires.
But fortunately the first round of vampire game ended in the morning and they were all reanimated, came back to live and kicked another three beutiful gigs again – one about family, one about friendship and the third about … As I heard theatre leaders were very satisfied and they are quickly heading towards their final performance. Wish them luck!
It was the real working day for design group on Wendesday. They have finished looking for ideas and started to work on their design projects. But before it, there was some very useful criticism by Martina. She said, she didn’t like just to talk about things anymore, that she needs some action. And that she needs to be said, what to do. It was a shame she didn’t say that the day before, when it was actual. Because, you know, everyday we carry on something call evaluation of the day. It means that each of us can say, what he/she liked or disliked about the day. And everybody was happy and satisfied yesterday. Anyway, suddenly we saw that there are more people like her, who don’t like many things but are not used to express them publicaly. Like Martina said – At school we are taught not to say anything, not to criticize anything, but to listen a do what we are said.
Hence we came to this: “School is evil. Destroy the school. Long live Lanterna.” 
We like criticism.
Than they continued with Peters presentation of his design karma – what was his motivation to study, how did he get to work in design, where did he studied design and so on. You know for a sprayer quite impressive.
The three agencies that developed three different projects – there is the antirasism poster project by Healthy Armageddon, Zazziboo project by 4funers and Love project by The Papayas.
To be able to defend ourselves against those bloody vampires, Thomas from design workshop, who is a karate teacher, decided to give us antivampire training in the theatre hall. There were many karate students in the beginning, but when they saw they really have to move, some of them chose not to take part. Its their fault, they will be much easier targets now.
