- Oj. Litt av en samling. Skal vi gjenskape helgenbildene?
- På en måte. Vi skal lage nye helgenbilder, med nye attributter fra vår
egen tid. Utfordringen er som følger:
- velg en skytshelgen
- velg et bilde
- finn en gjenstand som kan representere skytshelgenen i vår tid
- ta på deg klær som gjør at du ligner helgenen, ta med deg gjenstanden,
og still deg foran kamera
- Kan du gi noen eksempler?
- Mange yrkesgrupper har byttet verktøy siden saliggjøringen, og vi
utfordrer deg derfor til å ta med gjenstander fra vår egen tid. Arkitekter
i dag har kanskje viktigere verktøy enn vinkelhaken, kanskje de St. Thomas
heller bør avbildes med en datamaskin? Og Gabriel, som beskytter dem som
driver med kringkasting, kan kanskje få en mikrofon?
- Hmm. Jeg må altså tenke og forberede meg? Orker jeg det?
- Det er et element at selv-seleksjon på disse feiringene,
og oppmøte er ikke obligatorisk. Vi inviterer flere enn vi har plass til.
Vi er avhengige av at noen velger å gjøre noe annet.
- Jeg har en favoritt-helgen som ikke står på lista. Kan jeg velge denne?
- Ja, såfremt du kan kan ta med et bilde og fortelle oss noe interessant
om helgenen.
- Hva med glorien, må jeg ta med den også?
- Vi vil ha et rikt utvalg av glorier tilgjengelig. Men ta med noen
passende klær.
- Blir jeg tatt bilde av?
- Ja. Alle blir tatt bilde av. Bildene blir lagt ut i etterkant. Vi
fjerner bilder du ikke liker.
- Kan jeg ta med noen?
- Partnere og barn er velkomne.
- Skal jeg ta med noe?
- Gjerne litt fingermat. Fingermat er mat som kan settes rett på bordet
og deles med flere. Fingermat krever ikke bestikk eller oppvarming på
kjøkkenet. Matbordet blir langt mer interessant når alle bidrar enn om
vertskapet skulle lage maten.
- Skal jeg ta med flasker?
- Nei. Vi har rikelig med drikke av alle slag. Slushmaskinen vil gå og
du trenger ikke ta med flasker.
- Blir det allsang før midnatt?
- Ja. Absolutt.
- Dansing?
- Etter midnatt. Først danser vi vals på plassen
utenfor huset.
- Dans ute? Tar dere med høyttalere ut i år?
- Ja! Etterpå blir det disko inne.
- Flott! Er det mulig å legge til sanger til spillelisten?
- Spillelisten er basert på årelang forskning om hvordan få folk til
å danse på fest. Du kan sende forslag på epost på forhånd, så får vi se
— og kanskje høre.
- Må jeg melde meg på?
- Ja. Tidlig påmelding anbefales. Vi har en øvre grense for antall
deltagere for å forhindre det totale kaos. Send svar per epost.

- Impressive collection. Will we reproduce these pictures?
- With a twist. We will make new images of patron saints, with new
attributes from our own time. The challenge is as follows:
- pick a patron saint
- pick an image
- find an item that can represent the patron saint in our day and age
- dress up like your patron saint and bring your favored item with you in front of the camera
- Could you give some examples?
- Many fields of work have changed since the saints were painted. We
challenge you to find items from our own time that somehow will fit into
the pictures. Architects today probably have more important tools than the
carpenter's square, perhaps they use computers? And Gabriel, who is the
patron saint of broacasting, should perhaps be given a microphone?
- So, I will have to prepare myself in advance? Can I be bothered?
- There's an element of self-selection in these
celebrations, and you don't have to come. We invite more people than
we have space for, and we assume some people will choose to do something
else.
- I have a favorite saint who is not in the list above. Can I recreate
him/her?
- Sure, as long as you can bring a picture and say something interesting
about your saint.
- Do I have to bring my own halo?
- We will have a fine selection of halos to be used by all. But
bring some suitable clothes.
- Will I be photographed?
- Yes, everyone is to step in front of the camera.
- May I bring someone?
- Partners and children are welcome.
- Shall I bring something?
- Please bring some finger food. Finger food doesn't require plates,
cutlery or heating in the kitchen. The table is far more interesting when
everyone contributes their culinary delights.
- Should I bring drinks?
- No. We'll make sure there is plenty of drinks of all kinds. The
slush-machine will be running and there's no need to bring bottles.
- Are we singing before midnight?
- Yes, absolutely.
- Dancing?
- After midnight. We start by waltzing outside, in the square.
- Waltzing outside? Will you bring speakers outside?
- Yes. Afterwards there will be disco inside.
- Great! May I add tracks to the playlist?
- The playlist has been carefully crafted, based on years of research on
how to get people dancing at parties. You may send suggestions on
additional tracks in email in advance.
- RSVP?
- Yes, please RSVP early by email. We are placing an upper limit to the
number of guests in order to prevent total chaos.
