Once upon a time there lived two girls, big sister Joy and little sister Fear. Joy spent her time doing cartwheels and enjoying herself outside, while little Fear, well, she sat by herself alone, so small and insignificant. Yet Fear wasn't disgruntled as she sat there alone; she was quiet and thoughtful. One day little Fear died. And on that day Joy disappeared as well. It was a miserable day.
Once upon a time there was a group of women, who met to celebrate a party that wasn't to be. But it was nonetheless, a happy evening, although the specially invited Lugemisaasta guests (and the reason for the party) could not fly over from Estonia. You see, a blithe spirit had brought Ott Arder's latest CD Tiivad (2009), with some of his greatest poems sung by Estonia's most famous groups and singers, like the Kukerpillid, Singer Vinger, Ultima Thule, Ivo Linna, R. Rannap/J. Nõgiste, Vennad Urbid and more. Arder died in June 2004, he was 54.

This song by Ruja got the party started:
Mida Juku ei õpi,
seda Juhan ei tea.
Mida Juhan ei tea,
seda ta salgab.
Ja siis, kui vana Juhan
ükskord tunnistama peab,
et ta midagi ei tea,
on mehel kohe vastus valmis,
on kohe vastus valmis:
Inimene õpib kogu elu,
sureb aga ikka lollina.
Inimene õpib kogu elu,
sureb aga ikka lollina,
lollina, sureb ikka lollina.
Toredad naised on: Elle Rosenberg, Marta Kivik, Hille Järve, Erika Kessa, Linda Soolepp, Eve Järve, Kaire Tensuda, Ilo Maimets, Lydia Ritso-Kadai, Tiina Maripuu, Tiina Jenkins, Eda Oja.
