Wouw, Harrison!
Especiallly drums... we should think about this when WE CHANGED the room with Birgitt. How do you think, Birgitt? Actually when neally all left, the administrator came to me and said, if we know you are working here, we would find the place for musical band.... but all were already left and we we fine with Birgitt's words - IT IS OPEN SPACE... we can do everything... I don't think we have some loses, at least I did not see them. May be Birgitt can add something? we just worked on them smoothly, coming back to the room in which we worked the previous days and which was rented beforehand for the press conference for the day 3 of our training, but up to 4 o'clock, nearly the same time we were asked if we could move to the other room... if not to make a tragedy, does it work always like this. but we have all walls which we could find the spare place. ok thank you for your idea. I will think on this next time. I have one more musical instrument except tibetian bells and simply bells. the comus - the altay musical instrument which you can play with your mouth and throat... best wishes to you we were talking about you, Harrison, saying that you is always the one of the first people answering our questions on the list, what we can not say in our Intertraining list - just no answers - not from members, not from Board... not from friends, so we decided to make OS-Russian list to talk on Russian for people who doesn't know English... don't know yet if it will work the same way... elena ----- Original Message ----- From: Harrison Owen To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2001 7:13 PM Subject: Re: Reflections on a challenging OST event (long) At 01:03 AM 6/14/01 -0700, CHRIS CORRIGAN wrote: Just to answer Artur's question....I have had to change meeting rooms and transport a whole bulletin board....it worked fine, but then the new room had walls and so on but it was a lot smaller than the old room. Room change is a nuisance, but in my experience, it is not fatal. In fact it can add. Once in a two day Open Space we changed rooms three times! But by the second time we had the operation down pat. Instead of grumbling about the idiocy of the hotel (which was considerable) we organized a massive parade (300 folks) carrying everything we needed. The fact that we went right through the lobby made something of a point. And by the time we made the third change we had added fifes and drums to the entourage. I can't say the hotel management was pleased, but Open Space was alive and well for sure. And everybody got the point that it is not so much the destinations as the journey which counts. I suppose there was another lesson as well -- it is always all about Spirit. Keep that moving and the practical details seem to fall into place -- or change.
