A leftover tent-post from last summer – so much like-it-never-happened that it never got published.
Stobées Trädgård, Göteborg, on a Saturday noon: 4 hours for a christening.
The renters had permission from the police, and they sent us a satellite picture of how they wanted the tent put up (marked in yellow). Normally we don't take tent jobs on Saturdays because we're busy all day with the Saturday Feast, but for some reason we said okay.

We were late for the job, and in a hurry to get back and prepare for Saturday Feast. But they got what they wanted, in exact time. And the job... With perfect conditions, double time pressure, and tent job ecstasy (it's service to the Temple/Guru/Krishna, it works that way, direct reciprocation), we were so fast putting it up and taking it down, with just 4 hours between, that it was like it never happened.
At night, after Saturday Feast, seeing the tent nicely packed in the temple basement, we looked at each other:
Did we just have a tent job?
