Somewhere in 90-91, Adi Uceanu (former Gogan) told me to string, because he knew me on Sf. It was immediately after I started the Polytechnic, in transport, road vehicles. I was with her at the club screen in a Wednesday night and it seemed fascinating: up on the 1st floor a group of nostrils imagined their planets, galaxies and spacecraft, while below the story was played and the story of a gentleman was listening, while reading the newspaper waiting in the station in Lizeanu, he noticed how to go. For the next 4 years, I was present week by week at String sessions. I had the honor to meet some of the greatest Romanian writers in history: George Anania, Romulus Bărbulescu, Mihai Grămescu, Liviu Radu. Legends. I also met dozens of special people, who have become friends, even now we are talking only on FB. You know you, Pezevengi! I divided with you imaginary adventures and heated food at the cauldron. By 1996, after a few months at RAR as a trainee engineer, I realized that my future career in car engineering is a horrible mistake. Fortunately, the talent in writing continues to me, it is true that not in literature. Now I am one of the seniors of the advertising industry, creative director at the GAV Agency. Throughout my career, I have won over 100 national and international advertising awards and I am responsible for some of the things that annoy you when the favorite movie is interrupted. But the SF has remained my first love and I am still a constant devouring of imaginary worlds. Finally, two more things. Thanks to Ana-Maria for everything she does for the Romanian SF, both as a writer and as a "historian". Keep on the Good Work! And thanks for the one without which String would not have existed. Live Long and Prosper, Mrs. Mihaela Muraru-Mândrea!
