EuroMega 4 ThrowDown: The Early Rounds

If we get more details locked we can talk about all going to the same hotel and maybe get a better rate. I know IBIS Hotels used to do that.

Research has shown: If I fly in on Friday and fly out on Sunday evening it will be ~150 Euros for the flight + 120 Euros for the room (if I go for IBIS that is). Plus beer and food money of course. So it will be about 400-450 Euros to fly somewhere to get beat up by you ;)

Would August 30 still be okay?

I asked for the 15th just for clarification.

Personally, my own favorite date would be between August 15 and 20.
August 15 is a holiday, so that bridge weekend would probably be more atractive to people.

Also, in August, it would be easier to take some time to actually see the country as well. :)

...I know a girl in Brussels who has really loooooooooong legs.

You know what, 15 September is perfect, but not a day sooner (exams). Also, as Rafe suggested, and I support this notion. Why not make it a 2 day thing (Sat + Sun) ?

For me, it's easy getting there. But I'm sure for those coming from abroad it'd be more worth it if we scheduled 2 days. Is the Judo Hall rentable on Sundays?

EDIT: August 30 is likely not doable for me... Sorry for sounding like a primadonna here...

To be completely honest, the Gamescom will be over by the 18th (http://www.gamescom-cologne.com/en/g...home/index.php) but there are two factors why August really sucks (for me personally): 1. Attending Gamescom to work is very expensive and I won't have sold enough material to really be on the plus side - money-wise and 2. it will take me at least two weeks after Gamescom to sort out all material, write the articles, cut the videos and do the follow-ups.

But that's just me :)

I'll ask if the Judohall can be rented on Sunday, but than I'll have to ask for an extra fee to cover the Sunday (friday is free and saturday + the seminar will still be on my budget).

Price will depend on the hours that we want to rent and the people attending on the Sunday.

**Hiro Protagonist** · Posted On: 1/17/2012 6:36am

Sure.

The thing is just, can we please keep this in the holiday season, if possible?

Like, I will try to make it the 15th as well, but I start a new job in October,
and something might come in between.

Also, as TS said, then it would be much easier to make a few days more. :)

Rene, we don't want you to spend too much money, this is supposed to be fun and not financially bad for you. About Sunday: Either I fly out later then on Sunday or I have to book the room an additional night. But since we are all saving up and this is long in the future it should be doable :)

Zendo, pm me on the rent prices, I'll chip in a little.

Wait before that, the Saturday and seminar are still for me and the Friday is free!

For the Sunday it will be the hours that we rent the place divided equally trough the participents on that Sunday.
The prices of last year were €17,5/hour for the Judohall on Saturday (still need to find out how much it costs an hour in 2012 and the prices for Sunday).
