One Vernissage yesterday, another one today, there is bound to be somebody showing his or her paintings, writers give readings of their most recent work, their most recently published book.
There is a concert by the "Jauntal Brass band at the "Grenzland Heim," a Jazz band plays up a storm at the Kulturnidom, a Duo of Tenor Sax and Guitar perform classical music at the Werner Berg Museum. There is, of course, the main event at the WBM, where, at present, there is an exhibition of some 40 works by an artist who does not object to the definition of " non contemporary art"
(see a recent entry in this Blog ), yesterday you could have gone, (we did) to an exhibition of Watercolors in the small "Gallery EMO."
Tomorrow we are going to the Kulturnidom for a Choir Concert. There will be Choirs from Austria, Slovenia and Italy.
I could go on and on, until you'd think that "Art" is all there is in Bleiburg.
If, indeed, you thought that, you'd be wrong, wrong, wrong.
Bleiburg has the Austrian and European Champion "Volleyball" team.
We went there yesterday and I snapped some pictures. (what else did you expect?)
"Aich Dob" is
"Austrian Champion" as well as "European League Champion"
You must realize that "Aich Dob" is a tiny Village just outside of Bleiburg
(which in itself is just a tiny town)
Admittedly there are no longer any local-grown talents on the team.
Rich sponsors made it possible to build a really good cadre.
A smashing serve puts our team "one point up".
Another point won!
After each point won, the team hugs and celebrates.
The Opponents, the Klagenfurt Volleyball team,
although featuring some good players don't stand much of a chance.
"Blocking" is an essential art of this game.
"Sport Klub Aich Dob" wins this one "hands down".
... and after the game, the players of A.D. applaud their fans.
