At the mairie ( one day I must read "The trial" by Kafka )

Anyway at reception they said 'Third floor'.
On the third floor they said "Second floor".
On the second floor I found someone who said 'Oh yes, that's my office, come with me'

We went. The office was empty of people but full of files. We waited. Someone came. They always do.

The guy said:
"Where's this exposition ?"
"Who owns the building ?"
"Who told you to come here ?" ( at this point I thought he would say "Just do what you like, we don't need to know, but... )
"Fill in this dossier and return it as soon as possible - you'll need to cross out lots of sections that don't apply to you".

The form has about 30 pages and asks if we are using fireworks, helicopters or interrupting the trams for our Calvin exhibition, if we are holding a cremation and if we have informed the police in case of public panic.

As you guessed, most of it does not apply to us at all, but rather to demonstrations in the street, but we do need to attach the statuts of our association and our contract of public liability insurance.

I'll take it back tomorrow.
