#  Posted 2008-05-21 22:29:14
mood: Opening party? Haven't heard about it. It must be something new this year. But there is usually a big party on the night after the last competition. You can't miss that!

#  Posted 2008-05-22 03:02:55
Acampbell: Yeah Linus i've heard about the last night party as well. That sounds fun!

Andrew It is all juniors.

There is apparently one "Disco" on the saturday night and one after stage six on the friday night.

Fapos: OK. I just learned about acomodations for O ringen. I guess we are staying in 3 or 4??? Borris is Organizing it. Does anyone else know where they are staying? I guess they are keeping the countries together.

#  Posted 2008-05-28 06:39:17
Acampbell: Boris is organizing my acomodations for O-ringen as well. And i think they are keeping countries together as much as they can. I don't know about the 3 or 4, i heard a few 5's as well. But hey at least we have beds! I don't really care where they are lol

#  Posted 2008-05-28 21:36:00
Fapos: it would be nice if we could stay closer to our friends in other countries...

#  Posted 2008-05-29 00:42:14
