General info:
We have a fairly large rehersal space with a big fridge+small freezer, microwave, couch, toilet access, a bunch of guitars, basses, keys, noise makers, amps, drum kit etc. We have 4 guitars (tele+strat+2 SGVs) and two basses (Aerodyne+VI). The other ones belong to other bands. The drum kit, mics, keys, misc noisemakers and amps are free-for-all.
YOU bring what you want. Pedals are cool, enormous stacks might be a tad too much. Remember, we all have A LOT of gear, but let's make sure we can also fit the people attending.
Note: You'll be in Europe. We have EU power plugs, so if you plan on bringing anything that requires power (other than batteries) you will need an adapter. I have some 1-spots and a daisy, but EU ILFers; if you have extra power supplies, feel free to bring them along!
We can be loud there 24 hours a day on Saturday and Sunday. On Friday and Monday we can start at 6pm. I estimate that we can fit around eight people there as far as sleeping goes. Two on the couch, the rest on thinner/less pristine underlay. This hotel is also an option for those who want something nicer. (NOTE: Team up and order as soon as possible for the best prices. The last time I checked, Friday-Monday for a room suitable for 4 people was $98/93 Euros per person, breakfast and wifi included. It's a 10 minute walk from the rehersal space) - https://www.nordicchoicehotels.no/trans ... telId=7495

Your expenses will be:
Plane ticket/other forms of transportation (depends on where you're coming from)
Shuttle bus/train to+from the airport. (bus $8, train $21)
Public transport tickets. This depends on how much we want to go out and about, but they are about $4 each and are valid for an hour (remember to buy these, Vidret!)
Food. While pretty expensive, living on a student diet for 3 days has never killed anyone or their wallets. I can probably make some larger stews/soups at home to bring also. Fill up that fridge and nuke that grub later!
Beer. Our cheapest beer is $1.70 if I remember correctly. It's pretty shitty compared to more fancy pants stuff, but it'll get you drunk. Swedes can maybe bring cheaper beer?
(Hotel: See above.)
Possible schedule for the weekend:
Friday: Meetup downtown Oslo. I pick people up at the train station and point them over to a bar where Eivind will be enjoying himself. Once we're all gathered, we go buy beer+food and head to the noise cavern. Massive jamming session.
Saturday: We play the Vigeland Mausoleum! Afterwards we head to the Vigelands park and have a BBQ!
NSFW: show
Sunday:Record a collective ILFcast episode. Maybe some want to go sightseeing, or if the weather is nice, we can go swimming and wash our dirty bodies together. Jamming at night! Suggestions? Comments?
Monday: Hang out until people have to head back home.
Attendance list:
I will fill this up as we go along. If you're able to come for sure, let me know (the sooner the better), and let us know where you will/want to sleep at night. If you're uncertain if you'll make it, tell me when you think you'll know and we'll hold your spot, but try to figure it out as soon as you possibly can. I'll update and repost the list as we go along.
Bold: Going!
Cursive: Maybe

Rehersal space address:
Ulvenveien 75
0581 Oslo
Meetup: We're not sure what bar we're to meet up at yet (of course), but all trains and buses stop at Oslo S/Jernbanetorget/the central station. That's where I'll be hanging around on Friday, pointing people in direction of the bar where Eivind awaits you. The address for Oslo S is:
Jernbanetorget 1
0154 Oslo
If people want to know my home address for some reason (if luggage is delayed or something), PM me! When I know exactly who's going to show up, I'll PM you all my email address, cell phone number and other contact information so you don't get lost if we somehow split up.
HOPE TO SEE YOU THERE!
too cool, great having things to look forward to.... :surprise: (jealous) ...(needs vacation)
That horn in the background and the piano guts are mostly decorative/noisemakers.
