The event was a big flop, if I may say so myslef. Despite confirmations and re-confirmations, no one showed up and I was waiting and waiting from 10:30 PM until 1:30 AM (being Ramamdan). Finally, I gave up hope that there will be any one coming and went home. Only one participant sent an apology just a few hours before the event. All the others left me savour the sour-bitter taste of a big faiure. Such a horrible taste that perhaps our respected colleague Tamara Zahran remembers from her 2005 attempt.
