The KunstTour 2010 @ the LBB was a unique event.
It wasn't unique because there where more than 400 people having a blast in the building. On a regular event, that's already achieved in the first two hours.
It wasn't unique because we only sold organic food & drinks at around cost-price.(1)
It wasn't unique because the art object itself was made in the course of 7 years out of 99% recycled material and with 100% voluntary energy.
It was not even unique because we did it without external funds. (2)
Those feats are taken for granted (3)so much in the LBB, they tend to get lost in the background noise.
No, it was a unique event because for the first time we didn't have to do any cleaning at all afterward!!

You and your respectful behavior made it special!
So, as you will all understand, it is with great pleasure that I thank you all for enabling me to write this from the LBB's USB-equipped sauna.(5)
Of course the fact that those 400 people had they're eyes opened to the less well known sides of squatting in general, and the LBB in particular, was not bad either!
1: I hope you guys 'n galls don't mind the recent price bump; we wouldn't have done it if we didn't have to.
2: If I told you the story about the €275.000 of mandatory safety alterations that we did in 2005, with just €5.000 of your tax money, I'd be bragging even more!
3: Pun not intended.
4: Please notice I didn't mention beforehand.
5: I hope I remember to take out the keyboard and mouse after I'm heated up.
