Re: F1's master of ceremonies

[mildred_of_midgard]

I agree! Somebody--I'm not saying who, but SOMEBODY--should write a book on this guy and find someone who wants to film it! :P Between the duel, and beating C2 at tennis, and the kickboxing, and F1's eventful homage ceremony (which Horowski recounts in a very cinematic way) and working for August the Strong, this guy's life was well suited to the screen.

Unfortunately, I checked, and he *just* missed the giant, over-the-top military+pleasure camp at Zeithain by a little over a year. All I can think is, "He would have loved that." :/

But maybe it took more than a year to plan--didn't they build a whole opera house for it?--and a fiction writer could still work it in. Also, he was totally around in 1728 when FW and Fritz visited Dresden, just saying.
