I have some additional AO swag that I will be mailing off to the gathering for sure. :)
"trox" with pink tongs allowed entry?
Is there a deadline for the rsvp?
Also, could anyone local recommend any hotels/B&Bs within ~30mins staggering distance of the HQ?
Costing this up atm, I'd never make a US one, but Oslo is closer to home ^^
Nice it's not very expensive from France, much less than Dragoncon trips :) So I will probably be there and I'll get a real Lindelu TShirt!
The HQ and the Pub we're going to is a bit far away from eachother, so I'd recommend getting a place in the city centre.
This is the pub: http://tinyurl.com/297rgn6
Hotels suggested by www.hotels.com
First Hotel Millennium Oslo will be a block away from the pub we're going to.
Comfort Hotel Boersparken is also close by, I'd suggest you have someone escort you back to this hotel after the pub though, the area can get a bit.... lively in Saturdays.
Thon Hotel Astoria Thon hotels are a favourite of mine, also close.
Scandic Edderkoppen is farther away, but in a nice area. My own accommodation is also close to this spot.
Park Inn Oslo is perversely close by the pub.
Rica Victoria Hotel really nice one, but starting to get into the more pricey stuff, same with Thon Hotel Cecil.
Thanks for tips Frostrune, one more thing though : how far is the HQ from the centre ? Are there transportation or something ?
It's *extremely* easy to get to the FC offices from central Oslo, either by taking a train or via one of several buses; Travel time from downtown to the office is anywhere from 10/20 minutes (depending on method chosen) so it isn't hard to get here at all. I'll be posting more direct information on how to travel to the FC offices (and the Dubliner) as we get closer to time - We'll also probably send one of us up to Oslo S (the central train station) to gather folks at a set time to lead them to the office. =)
I would love to go and see who shows up! Oslo is a lot closer than where DC is at.
Seems like I have to work that weekend tho.
dont forget about the bikes :P
You can rent a citybike card for one day and for the next 24h you'll be able to pick up bikes on many stations placed all over the city.
I really like this feature of Oslo.
Not sure what norwegian laws says about drinking and driving with bikes... but the police never stopped me ;)
Here in town we have "city bikes" where you put in a 20kr coin and can drive it around as long as you want, and when you return it to one of the posts that you can tether it at you'll get your 20 back. Neat feature too. You only get a fine here if you drink and bike.
mmm, I'd like to go for sure, but my vacation is prolly over by then :/ Any dutchies going so far?
How's parking? Won't need too much space for my MC...
Muchos thanks for the great info Frostrune, exactly what I was after, and good to know it's easy to get to the HQ too from the centre (cos it looked a bit out the way) - I'll check em all out :)
About an hour drive, so I'll be there :D *better warn some others that I'll go :D *
