aua opening.
Bloody hell, yes, let’s get started! Auawirleben 2026, christened with sparkling holy water, straight from the bottle of prosecco into our parched mouths, which, in the final sprint to get here, we forgot to drink despite the hydrate!-reminder. Wednesdays are never more fun than at the aua kick-off; it’s both a final boss and a relief, having juggled everything for weeks to be ready here today. Let us lighten your load, enlighten your mind!
