How did I get involved?

In summer 1998 my friend Jesper (Thrawn) came to visit in Greece (where I live). He started mentioning about TP and what an exciting event it was etc. Then he asked if I could help out and participate as an organizer. It was not easy being in the PR crew as I was far away (in Greece) and had no contact with any local companies or oganizations. So I did my best researching on the web and contacting groups, spreading out information etc.

While at TP my main responsibility was reception and information desk. No real fun I must say, I missed most of the action and worked atleast 14 hours a day. Nevertheless a unique experienece. I also had to spend one night at the gym hall where visitors could sleep (the fire department demanded that atleast one awake person is present where people sleep).

Anyway It was a great holiday for me which also gave me the chance to see a bit of Denmark (which I found to be a lovely place to be. Being half German I quickly adapted to the overall environment).
