Zagreb jams - introduction

We were waiting for them so long. After the spectacular double-jam weekend, a question remains: How long do we have to wait until the next gathering in Zagreb?
Both jams met our expectations. There was a satisfying number of writers and visitors. Hope the weekend gave the scene a good shake-up.

Rotor is one of the best things that happened to the scene in last few years. We can still remember discussions among writers during early nineties - it was all about which position would be ideal for the Zagreb's first Hall of Fame. Rotor was the priority, but no one really moved across that famous line between dreams and reality. Not enough hard-working guys, too many of those who preferred superficial scribbling plus police visits. It turned out to be easier at Varšavska or Križaniceva.

Really, schools are the most attractive place for writers to feel comfortable and work in peace, out of citizens-staring range, concentrated to work and dedicated to style.
As for the style, we must mention Meeting of Styles as well. In case you haven't been there, there's no need to check the pieces on this site. Just run down to Ferencica - it's worth checking what was happening at the first jam to remember after Split 1998. Later you can get back to ZGB Kaos and read Lunar's review.
Time for some flare-up? Enjoy it!
