    If it's just over the bridge then it wont matter. jk

    Also no date has been set...i gave a random date so we could get an idea of flight costs and hotels. As they change in price depending on the time of year.

    I'm pretty sure a vote will be done on final date and place. The aim would be to get as many people as possible. Were all going to end up traveling i think.

    It would be nice if ppl could give costs from other places...i'm to lazy todo all the work . I've done cope~

  • mapCon: europe

    aye didn't think of hostals...not really my thing but i'll have a look for prices of those as well.

    I think this is more then doable for most.

    Maybe the next thing should be a poll on date before we move on any further.

  • mapCon: europe

    So i've done a bit of research.

    Going for fictional dates of 04Feb08 to 07Feb08.

    Flight to Copenhagen from London £110 (British Airways)

    Hotel http://www.avenuehotel.dk about £87 per night (even cheaper if we share obviously).

    Only costs missing really is TAXI and police bribes

    and it means Mazy doesn't have to travel far...in fact he can just fall out of his office.

    Quote from Mazy

    Wouldn't mind meeting some of ya'll folks here, but tbh then I donno if I can be bothered to travel to another country to do it, I donno. Would have to be really easy and straight forward for my lazy self to go through with it D:/me stares at mac....then hides

    Right Denmark it is then all round to IO studios

    Georf can bring cocktails.

  • mapCon: europe

    For a hotel near the center of london you can find them as cheap as £40 a night and if we go out in camden (we can easily book a couple of tables) drinks arent all that bad.

    Maybe someone from each country (city) should do some research and put the average cost together as were more like to know which is a good or bad hotel/pub...tbh i'd like to get out from London...seen it already..bored

    http://www.expedia.co.uk good site btw~

    Or we could hold another poll for the destination...

  • mapCon: europe

    it's just a couple of drinks with some guy's you've known for years....well ok maybe not you....ok see your point.

    Sadly i've known D3 like 4-5 years D: wouldn't mind kissing his silly gofik face~

    Btw flights out of London are about £100 return to either of those destinations. I'd imagine there about the same going to London. Only thing about London for those that don't live locally is hotel prices are stupid. Might be better picking a place just outside of London.
