Dreamhack Trip Nov 26th-27th for ~£100

[Bootz]

Dreamhack Winter 2005 (http://www.dreamhack.se/dhw05/en.100.html)

Let's Go!! It's their 10th year anniversary lan, around 6000 people expected.

Ok so I'm tempted to attend the event as spectator for the 26th-27th (Sat-Sun).

So here's the plan:

Flights courtesy of Ryan Air (http://www.ryanair.com) where we fly out from Stanstead to Goteborg at 07:00 on the 26th and return flight at 21:50 on the 27th. These flights will come to around £70 total.

Upon arrival at Goteborg, take the 30-min shuttle bus ride (~£3.50) to the train station.

Get a train (http://www.sj.se/sj/jsp/polopoly.jsp?d=10&l=en) to Jönköping (~2 hr journey @ ~£10.00) and then workout where the venue is :D (taxi/bus etc).

Spectator fee is around 15 Euros i beleive.

So far myself, Aarvark and possibly Murray-Mint shall be going.

I plan to drive to Stanstead on Saturday early and leave car in the long-stay parking for around £13 for the 2 days.

Who else is interested :)

[JeRkY]

im interested(funds & time dependant)

[Murray-Mint]

I'm very much in for this, but I'll need to find money in advance for plane tickets. Get paid on the 25th though.

[HalOS]

If I can get flights that aren't of a ridiculous price nearer the time then im in!

[Aardvark]

Somehow I went from 'are you completely ****ing nuts?' to 'I'm in' without noticing... :rolleyes:

[Wubster]

already looking at costs to the swede land :)

i have other intentions in mind as well tho

Wubs

[JeRkY]

LOL ...



ok im in time wise... just need to see about flights

[Shazz]

i would if i had money...


and the food wasnt provided by sodexho ;p

[Afty]

Darn, would be up for this if I didn't already have conflicting arrangements :(

[King-Kodiak]

I really wish I could go, but too skinto to do it. :(

/me watches for the rush of "ahh, as KK's not going to be poisoning the atmosphere with his noobness, I'll signup".

[dusty]

I could well change my returning flights from new york and go straight there.
Ill see how much it will cost me, then i might just join ya

[Aardvark]

Joe, you are an utter **** :D

[dusty]

meh gonna cost too much to change em, so looks like im out :(
looks like ill have to settle with New York

[Er00]

I swear sodexho provide the food everywhere, I was somewhere the other day (might have been the place in London where I went for some physics lectures, a Uni of London building I think...) and they had leaflets and stuff promoting their sodexho food! :p I was shocked!

[Zakalwe]

Ooh, sounds good.

Got a later party the night before so may need to look at a later flight from London City (nearer me anyway).

Rosenlunds waterpark
In the vincinity of DreamHack is the Rosenlund indoor waterpark wich when it was built was the largest adventure waterpark in north europe.
For participants at DreamHack the entryfee is only 25SEK, so do not forget your bathcloths and tower!


Larning inside a waterpark.. those crazy swedes!

I'd love to go to this but

a) i don't know you and therefore doubt this invite is literally open to anyone.

b) i've got a conference paper to write :/

c) aardvark smells of wee.

Other than that though, sounds great and i'd love to have come :)

[Aardvark]

I'm sorry Bug, but now its officially open to you. Therefore you MUST come :D

[Bugstomper]

if i'd seen this thread before or known about it sooner then i would have genuinely been interested as i'd like to go to sweden, i like larn, i also like water parks, it's like a dream come true, however sadly if i don't get this conference paper done i'll get the sack and it's christmas soon, little timmy needs his shoes.

[Aardvark]

Next year gadget, next year! :)

[WazMeister]

Wanted to go as a contender in Q4 but no work holiday left or money to go.

Dam shame!

HF though who ever does go!!!!!

[Aardvark]

Ok...

1) you suck for not posting this in the bloody outings forum where I could find it Bootz, and

2) Ryanair have been cocks and wanged the flight cost up. I thought I'd tell you all this as SOME PEOPLE couldn't be arsed... :rolleyes:

Then again, I spose the most important people DID find out. Can't complain at that :D

[Bootz]

[Aardvark]

Like I said, the IMPORTANT people heard :D

[Plasma]

[Buffy]

You know you cant go with out me, who else would you get drunk with on the plane?

Add me to the list.

[Aardvark]

Pay attention to the big '2005' in the post please everyone :rolleyes:

And no, we abandoned this on the grounds of 'Lisa is a goddamn fop' ;)

[DaeMord]

for all the slack people
THIS IS 2005

[Bonkers]

Well all the cool kids want to sign up on this one! So thats what we will do :P

[Aardvark]

As official spokesman for the cool kids, no, no they are not. The people trying to show interest in this thread are riders of the special bus.

[Bonkers]

I dont ride on the special bus - but I goto a special school and I drink from a special cup!

[Aardvark]

I'd like to point out as well that if it was meant to be 2006, that would involve people from MPUK planning something over a year in advance. This NEVER happens! :)
