UPDATE: IF YOU DONT HAVE TICKETS YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED INTO THE VENUE!!!! You are still welcome to stay with us as there are going to be a few people who are still coming without tickets to hang out before/after. They are looking at organising a barcraft for this event.

	TCPKerO:	TICKETS GOT :DDDD
	justice:	Cool! Glad to see I'm on the list now, it's getting pretty big! (That's what she said.)

[UHF]

How long / what days are you looking at? I was planning on staying thursday-monday (arrive thurs after lunch, leave mon morning).

I am definitely keep on a share!

[justice]

I am pretty keen to go and am just working out whether I can afford it or not, I have a China trip in September

EDIT: to further add, id probably fly in friday and leave late sunday night or monday morning. I work fulltime so as little time off as possible the better.

[Benji]

Want to point out that the venue is right next to the station, and 1 station away is Central (the main hub in Sydney) so if you cannot find a place near Redfern, look at Central. I know there are a TON of backpackers in the city and there are trains to Redfern every couple of minutes.

[Flamga]

I will be there friday and leave monday so I am pretty keen for this

[breadfan]

Ditto flamga

[Baldie]

I'd be interested!

[TACeeSerps]

I'd been keen also, will have to check a few things when I get home in a couple of hours.

[UHF]

I'll give that place a call this afternoon and see what they have available (unless someone beats me to it)

[Mr_Zain]

[Intoccabile19]

How would people feel about renting a house for the weekend? I have found a few good places really close. Depending on the amount of people it could be as cheap as 40 bux a night.

[Baldie]

I think the bottom line here is the cost of accommodation is going to be exceptionally cheap compared to individual accommodation.. not to mention sharing an experience with other people outside of the specific event is also pretty baller.

In regards to a house having done them in the past as long as you pick an appropriate place it can be pretty sick but they can be costly if not enough people jump on board.

Basically I just want somewhere close to sleep, we will be at the event basically all day so no real need for luxurious accessories I feel.

[ToRVenom]

Yea im keen.. There friday to monday.

[Intoccabile19]

Completely agree Baldie! I am looking at a house in paddington atm. It says it will accom 14 ppl and depending on the amount it will be about 40-50$ per person. I think this could be a good choice. But i would need guaranteed numbers and a bit of trust....as there would be a security deposit.

[FvRphoneheha]

Gods above, I would love to get in on this. Might be flying up from Melb solo, and would be glad to chip in with fellow sc2seaers. Trouble is I'm still 50/50 on going at this point arghhhhh, will try to keep following thread.

[UHF]

Got a link? Is that for $40-50 total or per night?

BTW this is the location of that hostel

[Intoccabile19]

Well just having a better look around there are a few backpacker/dorm type places around Surry Hills. The Bounce for example does a 8 bed dorm for like 40$ per person per night. A little simpler than the house but also a bit closer. Also it seems that the amount of people who want in is increasing pretty fast so 8 beds may not be enough unless we get multiple rooms.

The 40-50 is per night for the house. So for 10 people for 2 nights it is $870 all up.

[Baldie]

Take the rule of thumb for events into this.

Of the 100% of people who express interest in this and/or say they will go in approx 70% - 80% will actually follow through (unless there is a deposit required which locks people in).

Does seem the interest is increasing but shouldn't get too ahead of ourselves in regards to numbers.

Either way love you work all who are looking into places!

[TCPKerO]

I'm in, checking flights now would just need confirmation on dates for accom

[Snx.FigJig]

Would be interested as well as a friend but dont put me on the list if you have one, 50/50 at the moment. Awesome idea!

[Asrathiel]

Are the prices per person or per bed? Am thinking that maybe DrGoose and I can stay somewhere Sat night instead of hiking back to Mt Druitt...

JoFritzMD:

dayummm that would be a helluva trip

Hey, I'm coming from Mt Druitt too!

Quick Comments

Asrathiel:

:D

[UHF]

Just rang Alfred Park, chick was really nice! At the moment they have:

6 bed + ensuite, 4 bed + ensuite, ~$31 per person per night

They have WiFi in rooms, TVs, Air-con. They also have cancellations up to 48 hours before the booking (unlike some others i saw that don't allow cancellations)

You can also get them without an ensuite which is $27 per person per night, but you'd use the communal bathrooms and stuff

So if there were 10 of us, we could all fit in 2 rooms together. if we had any more we would either need to get an additional smaller room i guess, or those people would room with randoms

Quick Comments

	Baldie:	Love your work
	Demosthenes:	you are one badass organizer

OK DrGoose and I will be in on that for the Sat night, does that work? (As in, only being there Sat... or does that stuff things up...)

ETA we'll only take up one bed.... used to sharing a single bed

[justice]

I have already posted, but I'll post again. I am keen and I have talked a mate in to coming with me, so that's two peeps my name stands for. Perhaps someone should start compiling a list of people and days they are going to be there, work outs what's best?

I can get confirmation tomorrow arvo as to whether I am 100% in or not. Just need to check that the weekend is okay with the boss.

[Baldie]

Count me in for that deal UHF! I fly in Friday and leave Monday

[LordByrnsy]

oh im looking for a place to stay too
I havent booked anything yet.. im same deal at baldie flying in friday leaving monday lol

edit: Im in for grouping up with any1 if they're also keen?

[ToRVenom]

Fromw hat i know so far i beilive there is Flamga, Breadfan, Baldie And myself as a group from what i know of.... so if there is going to be a heap of people going together for acocmodation that would be sweet!

[Asrathiel]

So possible list so far:

UHF
Intocc
Me & DrGoose
Baldie
Byrnsey
Flamga
Breadfan
Venom

justice + friend (maybe)

(just including people who posted since UHF put the prices there, and Intocc cos he started the thread...)

[LordByrnsy]

how many do we need? and when do we need to book by?

[TACeeSerps]

And MEEEE!!! I'm flying in Friday lunchtime with Baldie.. Leaving Sunday night!

[syfMiley]

Hopefully someones couch or floor ^_________^

[Intoccabile19]

Ok guys. I'm on the iPhone at the moment....but I will jump on tomorrow morning to update the OP with places, prices, timings and people.

[Mayo]

Yeah put me on the list for backpacker or house

[Flamga]

Im down for this!!! Its going to be awesome Someone can share with me if they like

Quick Comments

ToRVenom:

thats hot :P

[Intoccabile19]

updated OP.

[Baldie]

It would be pretty cool if we were to stay near players and staff as partying on the Sunday night would likely be a lot easier but equally just as happy to utilise the places we have already searched for given it wouldn't be hard to travel down to the station near the venue and travel up to central if needed.

I think there is enough interest for a house. Just need to make sure there are enough mattresses etc. I would bring my swag but I'm flying carry only

(Also with house there is another level of "dont be a dick" because the fine potential for breaking or damaging anything is higher)

Quick Comments

	Intoccabile19:	haha I was thinking the same thing about the swag!
	Flamga:	Same as Baldie, as long as there is a floor im happy

[Intoccabile19]

Interestingly I have found a 28 bed dorm room right in the city for like $26 a bed!

My only problem with getting the house or any of the places at Surry Hill area now is that I would like to party/go out/hang out with as many people as possible. And I can see this hindering the chance to do that as we will have to catch a train into the city to where most ppl are...then train back to Surry then possibly taxi back to accom......at 3 in the morning when Im drunk....that sounds like a serious mission!

I have also found another pretty nice looking place in the City with a 10 bed dorm for like $34 per person per night.

Let me know peoples thoughts I will update the OP with the new places once I get a chance!

A lot of surry hills is pretty much right next to central station, so basically right in the middle of the city. Just so ya know. Redfern is one stop away 5minutes on the train, or a very cheap cab ride away.

Or a very good drunken waddle back to the place ♥

[Baldie]

I agree central to the majority of others is ideal (no pun intended) and I would be willing to pay slightly extra for each night given it will be offset the cost of the extra distance in a taxi anyway

[ToRVenom]

Baldie you so smart I Agree with Baldie thinking.

[Asrathiel]

Train/walking to venue definitely important. I hate taxis

[inFeZa]

I'm staying at the City Hotel Wed night, With crew Thurs - Sunday night @ ????, then the Pullman Sydney Hyde Park (formerly Marriott Sydney) from Mon - Tues in the CBD

[mGGDrGooSe]

Probably best not to rely on taxis in the city. They still have a habit of picking and choosing only fares that are worth their time. That's assuming you can flag one down in the first place.

[Theend]

In an unlikely event, that anyone are unable to find accommodation during WCS.

http://www.hotel81.com.sg/

one of the budget hotel in Singapore.If my memory serves me right, the bugis hotel81 is nearest to funan(where the WCS is held).

and if you do, dont forget to flag a chick or so...

Backpackers right next to Central Station. A 10 person Dorm Room for $34 per person per night.
We can organise to have less people on the Friday and Sunday nights.

The other option (which is right next door) is the YHA Central.
http://www.yha.com.au/hostels/nsw/sy...ackers-hostel/
(MAP) Litterally on the same street!

Here we could book a 6 share doorm right next to a 4 share dorm.

[Asrathiel]

We're in! Do you need money before booking or anything?

[Intoccabile19]

At the moment can I please get confirmed numbers! Please only respond if you are 100% going to be coming. Then I will probably look at getting some form of deposit/guarantee before booking.

[Asrathiel]

DrGoose and I are 100% for Saturday night ^_^

[Flamga]

100% in for it!

[Intoccabile19]

Just FYI, Im already counting 7 people for Saturday night.

[FvRphoneheha]

Are you guys doing the house then?

Quick Comments

Intoccabile19:

No we decided to do a Backpackers either 10 bed or multiple 8 bed dorm rooms

[Mayo]

I'm like 75%

Will confirm ASAP

[FvRphoneheha]

Ah, kk thanks Intoccabile. I'll try and confirm with my mate over the next few days, and see who's still searching then.

[UHF]

Yea that sounds ok to me if everyone else wants it and enough room for everyone. It's closer to the city for those that want it, and about 1km (9minute walk) from where Team Nv (not sure who) are staying. It's also across the road from the train station for those that need that.

It will be easier to manage than a house (no big bond), and it's easier to organised people arriving and leaving at different days.

It's ~30 minute walk to the venue (1.6km)

[TCPKerO]

I'm 100% going, I just need to figure out times for my flights so I'm not sitting around forever alone :P.

Quick Comments

Intoccabile19:

What days are you planning?

[TCPKerO]

(I can't figure out how to respond to a comment lolol I'm bad at this:PP)

I'm either doing Friday lunch time I think or Saturday morning, and leaving Monday some time.

Which ever is cheaper and not forever alone time :P

[ToRVenom]

im 100%

[Intoccabile19]

haha lzotz, its all good mate!

Umm well its up to you. Obviously Saturday morning will be cheaper for you but there are at least 2 confirmed people who are booking for Friday at this stage.

[fray`Alpha]

Does any one know if there is parking at the venue? Since Me and Stealth are looking at driving down (ROAD TRIP!) ill have my car so if i can drive to the venue from where ever we are staying will make it MUCH easier (i try and avoid public transport >.<)

Quick Comments

	Asrathiel:	Training will be soo much easier to and from...
	UHF:	http://www.atp.com.au/Our-Location/Parking---Transport

[Dox]

The venue is almost as central and accessible as you can possibly get when it comes to public transport! Nonetheless, if you're really keen on parking, I'd recommend checking out the ATP website for information.

[Asrathiel]

GL on finding somewhere not horribly expensive in the city to park :/

[Baldie]

100% baby

[Intoccabile19]

With that we have a full 10 people on the Saturday night!! But dont let that deter you. We will more than likely look at getting 2 rooms of 8 as close as possible to eachother if we get more ppl!

[JoFritzMD]

Just sayin but Surry Hills isn't that far to walk when you're drunk. (sober is another story though).

Quick Comments

Intoccabile19:

Yeah, I have since looked it up on a map and it seems walkable....but I figure the new venue is perfect for everything!

[LordByrnsy]

Hi Guys, me and my partner are looking to come in Friday and out Monday or Sunday night depending. Interested in the share, but either way is good. Would definitely be good to be around other people who love SC2.

I cant believe this, i feel like i woke up this morning and when i sat down at my computer gods dick came out of the screen and spat a litre of hot jizz straight into my eyes and mouth. Heavenly.

Edit: We are happy to stay at WakeUp! in the/one of the dorms. (Rawr! CSerps )
Original post i was under the assumption the house was still a possibility, please confirm Me+1 for Fri/Sat/Sun at the backpackers.

From a quick look it seems as if flights will be around 240 return for me and my partner. This seems reasonable although if anybody has found an awesome deal elsewhere id be interested.

Hi All,

I will be organising the booking either later today or early tomorrow. I will let you know if i need a deposit or if it will all be handled on arrival.

Intoccable; I have just received confirmation that i can now book flights and have the weekend off work! So with that, do you have room for two more for Friday sat and sun night?

Both myself nd my friend Mirthander are 100% booked and coming up

Happy to pay/help with deposit either bank deposit, credit card or PayPal. To you or to the accommodation, whatever you want!

Well given flights have been booked I think it would be silly to back out. Sydney is the only city I don't remember (i was 5 when I was last there). Even though I didn't get tickets the amount of people flying over I'm sure something will get sorted like a Barcraft plus hopefully some kick ass partying goes down.

Consider me still in!

If you are interested in staying with us just put in your day flying in and day flying out and what nights you would be requesting hospitality and the OP can put you in the list!

Hi all,

bad news.....seems we may have left it a little late. I called wakeup late last week and we were good to go....but it seems now they dont have room. I have also called a few other backpackers around the place and we will definately have trouble finding the same kinda thing.

I havent given up hope yet and I will keep trying to get something organised! I will pretty much book as soon as I find somewhere and update you with how I go.

Quick Comments

	Asrathiel:	Might need to spread out over a few places?
	ToRVenom:	Crap... Thanks for this mate.. Unlucky about Wakeup.. Keep trying Thanks mate :D ♥

[UHF]

Left it way too late to book for 24 people on Saturday night. It's going to have to be seperated in some fashion

[Intoccabile19]

So I have just gotten in contact with a place called Central Perk (http://www.cpbackpackers.com.au/) that is up the road a bit from WakeUp and it seems like they have room. He is going to try and organise it so that rooms can all be as close to eachother as possible.

He should be emailing me today and I will update once I get the quote/details etc.

Edit: well damn! I just read their terms and conditions......must be 18.....ok ill keep looking.

[UHF]

It's exactly 2 weeks away and I'm getting a bit anxious. I want to lock in some accommodation before it gets to a point where there are no share rooms left.

I rang and emailed Alfred Park again and they had approx. 7 x 4person rooms:

"As I mentioned on the phone, we unfortunately don't have any ensuite rooms available on those dates. We do however have a handful of 4 Bed Basic Dorms on offer.

The rate for a 4 Bed Basic Dorm is $27.00 per person per night.

All our dorm beds are bunk beds. Each room has it's own mini fridge, TV and air-conditioning. Bathrooms will be communal bathrooms.

We will only charge your credit card with the rate of the first night, the balance you will pay on arrival"

• Closest accommodation to the venue (10-15 minute walk)
• Dirt cheap: $27 x 3 = $81 if you're staying 3 nights
• Mostly positive reviews but you get what you pay for
• Communal bathroom (shared, but still has privacy AFAIK)
• Central station (train/bus) is 10 minutes walk away
• WiFi - get a a good amount for free then it's $3 for more.
• Unfortunately the location isn't right in the city if thats a problem for anyone

Does this interest anyone?

Quick Comments

	Intoccabile19:	Hi Mate!! very interested! If I dont get details from Central Perk (its located a bit better) today then I am keen
	Asrathiel:	Yup what intocc said, we'll be in on that too if the other one doesn't come though
	ToRVenom:	keen as yo!
	TCPKerO:	I think that we should get on it straight away, if we have to split between places its not the end of the world :D.
	LordByrnsy:	keen! :D

[SLCN.Kez]

hey guys lookin for accom as well if someone is keen to do a share room etc, have tickets confirmed for sat + sun, and ill be arriving thursday arvo!

[cRSenSei]

me and 3 of my mates flying down from brissie are staying at rydges world square, looks nice! and still rooms available those dates afaik

Quick Comments

UHF:

looks nice, but don't want to sleep with a guy :D

[Intoccabile19]

Alright!!

So under 18 is allowed as long as accompanied!

and

We can book it so that we are in 2 - 10 Bed Dorms and 1 - 4 bed dorm at Central Perk on the same floor on the 10/11/12. However they have put a bit of a caveat on the way we want to book. We can have the 3 rooms on the same floor for the 3 nights at the same price every night. Meaning we would have to pay the price for the 3 rooms on Friday night even though there is only 15 people in those rooms.

Each night would be $550. I'm not sure how you guys would like to handle it but we can either total the 3 nights and divide by 24 (the total amount of people). Or we can divide the $550 per night for the amount of people.

Total if fully divided is $68.75 per person. I can completely understand how this would be unfair though. (note: I am happy to do this even though I'm not staying on Friday night.)

Otherwise
Friday: $36.6 per person
Saturday: $22.91 per person
Sunday: $26.19 per person

Total for a person staying all 3 nights: $85.7
Only staying Friday and Saturday: $59.51
Only staying Saturday and Sunday: $49.1

As stated above I am quite happy to go either way if the people on friday are happy to pay a little extra.

Please let me know ASAP!!! which way most people would prefer to go as I would like to book this in today!

Quick Comments

TCPKerO:

awesome, great work

I am not stressed, but I am staying all 3 nights.

Whatever makes the process and simple and painless for you and the staff of the accommodation.

I think that's fairest (and not just saying that cos we're only staying Saturday, lol). I'll chuck in a bit extra for a lolly stash or something to share

Gogogo book!!

Edit: The difference for us would be $137.50 vs $45.82. Seeing as we'll be buying food as well all weekend, it becomes unaffordable (for us) if done the first way.

baldie got the right idea
and im fine with per night cost

[toasti0]

As long as there's a place to crash out I'm no worried about a few dollars here or there.

[ToRVenom]

100% for all three nights :") Thank you so much ♥♥3♥

[Intoccabile19]

Alright. Well it seems like I can definitely book it in! We can work out the details between us as the cost will not change. There is no backing out now, so if you are on the list and havent contacted me, we will be expecting you to pay!

Quick Comments

TCPKerO:

SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!! :D

[ToRSmotPokingFish]

EXCITED! ♥♥♥ intoccabile ♥♥♥

[FvRphoneheha]

Thanks again Intoccable! Me and mate still 100% in for Sat and Sunday

[ToRozliam]

100% for all three nights

[Intoccabile19]

All Booked!

It will be $550 per night for a total of $1650 which will give us a total of 24 beds across 3 rooms on the same floor.

We will have to organise how we are splitting the cost and also how to make payment. They are happy for people to pay as they come in as long as they get the $550 per night.

If we are going to split the cost so that each person pays for the nights they stay then I think that the easiest way is for people to pay their total amount as they come in that way we don't have to worry about transferring money between us through paypal or what ever.

Let me know thoughts and WHOOHOO PARTAY!!!!

What happens if they end up short? Who has to pay the difference? It's easy to get messed up if one person were to bail, or someone made a mistake in calculating their share. Potentially we could give reception a list and ask them to sign peoples' names off as they pay? The last thing I want to see is you getting grief from the place/being out of pocket after going through all the work to organise this for everyone. Also, the less effort expended in chasing people up, the better. That's why I think a list and check off is a good solution.

Quick Comments

	Asrathiel:	Checklist good plan
	ToRSmotPokingFish:	i like this idea :D

[FvRphoneheha]

Sweet, so 2 people staying Saturday and Sunday would be $49.1x2 = $98.20? Or 68.75x2 = $137.50? And do we have to bring in cash?

[justice]

Yeah I'm happy to walk in on Friday and pay my share of 550 for each day.

So currently the 550 for friday is split 15 times. So 36.6r or $37
Saturday 550 split 24 times is 22.91, or $23.
And Sunday is 550 Split 21 times which is 26.19, or $27.

All 3 days: 87pp
Sat sun: $50.

My maths correct?

Just round that shit up and let intoccabile keep the change for his efforts

Edit: might also be worthwhile on Friday organizing a list there of our forum names with confirmed payments to makes things more smooth for intoccabile and the staff

[Asrathiel]

OK DrGoose now can't stay Saturday cos he has soccer on Sunday But I'll pay for both spots, that's cool.


Still super looking forward to it

I won't be arriving in sydney till like 5pm on friday. Where is the place we got into? I wanna figure out the best way to get there.. if i can take public transport or something or if its better to just catch a cab...

Quick Comments

justice:

Ahh damn you get in like an hour before me!.. would have suggested splitting a cab.

[ToRozliam]

go public transport most likely a cap will cost you a fortune

[justice]

Does Sydney have anything similar to the melbourne skybus?

[TACeeSerps]

Cab from Airport to Central Perk will be around $30

[AssyrianKing]

I wish I could go

[ToRozliam]

there is a train that runs from there airport

[TACeeSerps]

If you're travelling by yourself, train will be cheaper at $15 (around about that).. but obviously 2 or more will be cheaper in a cab

[justice]

Maybe we can get OP to update with times that people are flying in so that we can communicate transport with each other, otherwise I'm happy to manage a list.

To get the ball rolling I fly in from Melbourne at 6:30PM on Friday night.

I'm leaving it a bit late, but I need to organise accomodation for me and my mate.

I'll be calling them when I get up in 8 hours. If we can get a seperate room on the Saturday night, then we can join you guys on possibly both Friday and Sunday.

Flights:
Arrive Sydney Friday 10 August 3:05pmDepart Sydney Monday 13 August 3:35pm

So i think we should go out to dinner on friday or something to have a gathering then we can all meet each other then go back to the backpackers, and have a few drinks or something?

[ToRSmotPokingFish]

well this sucks to say, but mother has decided that now (less than a week away with everything booked) she will not allow me to go to sydney...
i hate tried reasoning with her but she wont budge for the first time in her life, so i have to say im sorry and i can no longer come, if you still want me to cover the costs for me i will, im sorry for any inconvenience.
I hope you all enjoy WCS maybe next time i will be able to come

This sucks! If there is anything we can do to help persuade your mum let us know. I have removed you for now.

Intocc, did you organise it? put me on dat list son! how much is it? Sat and Sun night!

Quick Comments

Intoccabile19:

Hey mate, I have added you to Saturday and Sunday night. It will be a total of $49.1 for you at the moment

[Intoccabile19]

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to let everyone know that there are 10 free beds on the Friday, 1 on the Saturday and 3 on the Sunday. This leaves us at 14 for friday (down from 15), 23 on Saturday (down from 24) and the original 21 on Sunday.

If we cannot at least get back to the original amounts specified when booking then we can either force people to pay (I understand SmotPokingFish has already offered but I would prefer to make sure that people are only paying if they get to be there!) or we cover their costs. It would change the amounts by a few dollars each.

Please let me know your thoughts and if you have anyone who can fill a spot GET THEM IN!!! the more people we have in a room each night the cheaper it will be for everyone!!


P.S. Asrath, I will be calling them today as I have a few other questions to ask them. I update this thread afterwards.

EDIT: Tek Kez has taken the friday, saturday and 1 of the Sunday spots! so we are back to the original amount of people for Friday and Saturday and we have 1 extra person for Sunday! YAY that will make it cheaper!

[toasti0]

If they 100% guaranteed that would be there than make them pay. Otherwise people won't feel obligated to show up after telling you they would, putting everyone else out of pocket.

Quick Comments

	Asrathiel:	Agreed. I would have happily paid for Goose's spot if no one had taken it
	TCPKerO:	Yeah you can't pull out if you confirmed 100% thats just Bad Manner

[justice]

Man I am so looking forward to this weekend, work couldn't be going any slower...

[Xormentor]

Hi I didnt really know about this post so i went and booked my own accom last night at some other random backpacker (http://www.sydneybackpackers.com/) which turns out is just round the corner. I plan on coming to the barcraft saturday night and so is it worth cancelling what i booked and join you guys? I'm flying down saturday (gold coast) and will be flying back monday

[ToRSmotPokingFish]

yea sorry about the whole change of plans guys, but I'm glad that at least some good came from it (Loach is able to take my spot)

Sadly I there is nothing that can be done, the reason is she doesn't want me having any more time off school as I have already missed a large amount this term due to illness.
Sorry for any inconvenience and thanks to those who offered to help, I hope you all enjoy the weekend immensely.

GETTING PUMPED!!!#!~@!@#!#@!#!@#!@#!

Quality Post Right here

[ToRozliam]

Well done venom see you at the airport

Quick Comments

	ToRVenom:	yea we will see,
	TCPKerO:	What is the plan for meeting up at the airport?

[Omny]

Pumped too, at work now... Blehh. Too pumped to sit in this goddamn chairrrrrrr *explode*

Just checking that we arent required to pay any booking fees or anything before we actually get there, as when i was unsure if i was on the list i rang them and went to book two beds for myself and they required a deposit (CC Details over phone or email.. meep). So, yeah just the quick question and a wewt wewt anticipatory cheer.

Oh also, will there be any issue with me and my partner arriving very late on friday night? Potentially even technically on saturday 00:30am?

Quick Comments

	TCPKerO:	I will be awake so I don't see there being a problem :P
	Intoccabile19:	I have already covered the deposit. To make things easy I have organised with the accom for ppl to pay as they arrive.

[Intoccabile19]

Ok. So there is eftpos and I will be giving them the list on the OP they will sign off names as people arrive. That way we can hunt down people who don't show up!

I am looking for someone to handle a bit of organisation on the Friday for me as I wont be flying in until Saturday and I am still working on Friday. This would be simple stuff like working with the staff to make sure everyone on the list is there and paid and contacting me if there are any issues - rooms, rates, people etc.

[justice]

Finished work, SO EXCITED.

[UHF]

So after being at WCS (hehe) I'm at Centrel Perk right now using their free WiFi : D I'm staying in one of our rooms (with 2 randoms). He gave us a 10 bed and 14 bed room on the 3rd floor, and he has a list with our names and what we owe - it's pay as you arrive (then he will work it out with Intocc later).

Things to note:

- 611 George St. is the right address, but it's actually around the corner in Goulburn St. one shop down.
- Pretty much everything nearby (duh it's the city).
- I can see 2 or 3 Korean BBQ the room window
- Bring a towel, soap & all the regular toiletries.
- We are right on the main drag, it's not overly noisy, but it's not quiet either
- The guy on reception is pretty relaxed. Got me hooked up with free WiFi, we get free breaky (just the basics).

I'm heading down to WCS again tomorrow, so i don't know when i'll see you guys! Hope you let me know if you head out!

The korean place opposite seoul-ria is good too though it's a fair bit smaller so it probably couldn't hold all of our sweaty bodies in there. But it's open at like 4am in the morning so if you're out drinking and want some korean to eat, it's there for you.

[Asrathiel]

Oooh is it across from our Korean BBQ place?? That's so cool

I would like to Thank Intoccabile for Setting this up for so many Of us . Without him this whole experiance Would have been much more difficult for many people. Trying to organise accomadation for so many people Is a hard thing to do and Again would like to thank him for this.

I am sure everyone is very thankfull for this organisation he did for this.

[ToRJemsk]

It was great talking with some of you on Saturday night (Sunday morning?) at the Korean BBQ. Thanks for the good times!

[Omny]

A big thanks from me and my partner Jen to Intoc for getting this going and for anybody else who lent a hand, It made it really simple for us to sort things out especially considering we weren't sure of tickets till near last minute. It was awesome, we got to meet so many people and put faces to names - previously ive been much more a lurker than a consistent poster here but this seems to have changed things alot. Jen and I (Matt) are getting forward to knowing you all better. I also just wanted to extend a thanks from both of us to everybody for being so friendly, you are all such awesome people.

PS. I regret that we were both too tired after both nights events to go out to Korean BBQ/Socialise/Drink/Drink, hopefully we'll have a chance to get to sit down over a meal with all of you sometime soon.
