i have been researching the county in transylvania where i am going.
hopefully. very nice folk costumes thereabouts. here is a map (the
village is zagon... all the names on this map are in romanian; the
romanian gov't is trying very hard to erase hungarian culture in the
region):

transylvania (erdely), the oldest part of hungary is the size of
present day hungary. so it's pretty big, tho not big in our terms.
the area where i plan to go is a small part of that, the oldest part.

i am learning things; net research, ya know.

the nearest town in called sepsiszentgyorgy. that's its hungarian
name. it's got a net provider!

seems to be the same guy who also designed everyone of the region's
webpages that i could come up with. also is the same guy who designed
the local art org's pages. in which he also appears as a performer at
a performance art fest. osmosing with a tree, seemingly.

so emailed him.

then i found the pages of the city council. yes, made by the same
guy. i looked at the names on the city council. mayor,
councilpersons, etc. he is not one of them. whew.

so i emailed the mayor. why the fuck not.

will know on tuesday whether i have the money to go. but i reserved a
ticket to hungary cause i am being optimystic. why the fuck not.
