So, we are able to book the Vigeland Mausoleum for Saturday!
It will cost $149/123€ + $30/26€ per hour. So, say we book it so that all of us can make sounds for 30 minutes each, and we're roughly 10 people and add an hour for preparations, giving us 6 hours in total, we're looking at $329/293€ split between roughly 10 people.
Basically, if we all want to play/record something there we're looking at about 30 bucks/euromoniez each. The maximum capacity of the mausoleum is 30 people, and we can sell tickets if we want to make it even cheaper for ourselves. Information about the show can also be published on their facebook page (has around 8500 likes) if we want.
Disclaimer: The mausoleum is old and we can only use 10A of power without blowing the fuse. I suck at power stuff, but I'm guessing a small amp and a pedalboard will be fine?
Also, keep in mind that it's a mausoleum AKA a grave for the artist Emanuel Vigeland, so no alcohol, clapping or flash photography.
Thoughts? Yay?

I can pay the advance as long as I know that people want to have some sonic fun there. We can deal with paying back when we know exactly how many people actually showed up, so it's fair to everone.

I just went ahead and booked it, because who the fuck doesn't want to make some noise in there!?!?!
If you for some reason, personal or financial, don't want us to go there, drop me a PM and we'll work something out. I know I rushed this a bit, but I think we would all regret not doing this. It's a once in a lifetime sort of deal. Anyways; don't like it: PM me and we'll talk and figure something out!
Some info on Emanuel Vigeland and his mausoleum:
Many consider Emanuel Vigeland's masterwork to be his own mausoleum, Tomba Emmanuelle (Italian for 'Emanuels grave'), better known as Emanuel Vigeland Mausoleum. He built it in Grimelundsveien 8 at Slemdal in Oslo, originally as a studio and future museum for his works. When he was about 50 years old, he changed his plans and started to build the place to be his own mausoleum. As part of the rebuilding, he walled up all the windows, and in a niche at the low end of the main room he placed an urn for his ashes, which are still there to this day. It is said that Emanuel, who were dissatisfied with living in the shadow of his more famous brother (Gustav Vigeland. The man who made all the sculptures in the park where we originally planned on hanging out), made the door so low that one is compelled to bow before his urn.
Inside, he filled the ceiling and walls with a 800 square meter mural bearing the name "Vita" (Italian for "life"). The main theme is human life from conception to death, with a focus on sexuality and reproduction. A recurring motif is women (especially redheads) as sexual beings or as mothers. Where man is depicted, he serves as a sexual partner for the women, but toward the end of the life cycle the man is finally perceived as an artist, and he dies as a creative individual midst his artistic tools.
We have the room from 12.00-18.00 on Saturday. Yvonne, our contact person, will be there to help us. She has told me that the room is VERY intense and fairly cold, so she recommends taking a 10 minute break in between each set/performance. I will be filming the entire thing and also recording the sound with a four-way field recorder. When a performance has started, those who are inside the mausoleum should not leave the room or move around because of the room's sensitivity to sound. I think it goes without saying that we will have to turn off our cell phones upon entering
If you have any questions, let me know and I'll redirect them to Yvonne if I'm unable to answer them.
Still, if someone knows electricity, please let me know how much stuff we can power with 10A.

10A at 230V (?) is 2300W, a 100W JCM800 consumes 375W roughly, so we should be good, obviously depending on how much stuff we're planning on running?

I'm glad to hear that people seem genuinely excited with the idea!
I mean, if you clap your hands in there it's pretty fucking loud, so I was thinking we bring a small amp and a mixer that everone can share (which also makes it possible for more people to play at the same time if they want to). Other than that we will need to power a lamp because it's really dark in there, and power for whatever people want to play/use. Perhaps a pedalboard and any electrically powered instrument. It's probably best to not bring too much as the room is somewhat small (even if the ceiling is high as hell) and it's a bit of a walk from any sort of transportation. You can leave your reverb pedal behind.

So fullstacks are mandatory. Got it.
In all seriousness I'll probably just bring the stuff I'll be bringing to the rest of the sesh, which shouldn't impede on the power requirements in the slightest.
Also you're the fucking man.
