Everything is prepared!

Well, some things still need to be done! We need more chairs and some powerlines.

A few hours later Jochen "Roschmyr" Rhein carried his drawer in.

Early on Friday Stefan "Kronos" Kleinheinrich was the first and only guest.
./images/hm17082007/img_0004_thumb.jpg
This is the fabulous "Full Metal Jacket" case for his Efika. It not only looks heavy, it its heavy.
./images/hm17082007/img_0005_thumb.jpg
The drawer normally resides in Roschmyrs work desk at home, where he has two Pegasos in drawer systems.

This is his original Genesi Efika case.

This does not look like hard work!
./images/hm17082007/img_0009_thumb.jpg
No, it definitely no work.
./images/hm17082007/img_0010_thumb.jpg

First discussions
./images/hm17082007/img_0016_thumb.jpg
It's hard to get Axel on camera without making him pose.
./images/hm17082007/img_0017_thumb.jpg
This is the blue trolls Pegasos.
./images/hm17082007/img_0018_thumb.jpg

./images/hm17082007/img_0025_thumb.jpg
Well, this didn't look finished.
./images/hm17082007/img_0026_thumb.jpg
The case part removed from Kronos' Pegasos looks like a show room for my old A1200er.
./images/hm17082007/img_0027_thumb.jpg
and again.
./images/hm17082007/img_0028_thumb.jpg

Small Breakfast. Well, in total we consumed around 40 bread rolls.
./images/hm17082007/img_0030_thumb.jpg
Roschmyr always next to the coffee.
./images/hm17082007/img_0031_thumb.jpg
or with a good view onto the coffee.

What game are Alex and Timo playing?
./images/hm17082007/img_0040_thumb.jpg
Yeah, boys and cars. Alex needed a joystick repair and Timo continues training.
./images/hm17082007/img_0041_thumb.jpg
If Roschmyr isn't with the coffee he is smoking outside!
