BIT Live Stockholm 2008 (Sept 13th) - Thanx for the fun!

[Mika73]

Mika, BIT Live opens at 19:00 and closes at 02:00, possibly 03:00. Maybe the terminal is open for you guys?

I think terminal opens 6:00 at morning.. There is 3-4 hours at street middle of night.. Would be very nice if there were place where we could wait until terminal open.

[Mika73]

Do they accept euros there or need we change SEK?

[Mayhem]

I'll be getting SEK just in case...

[Ziphoid]

It's very rare that they accept EURO in Swedish stores since we don't have that currency (yet).

Also, to make it a bit easier to manage some hours of wait until the ferry terminal opens, the McDonalds restaurant located about 50m from the venue is open until 5am, so you only lack one hour, which should be more manageable.

Thanks thats good information. I just hope that they wont throw us out if we sit there 2-3 hours. And I dont understand Swedish language, then they call cops and.. Ok.. Maybe not.. Atleast I hope so, but 2-3 hours sitting there.. I guess I am making slow speed record of eating Big Mac or something..

No after party somewere before ship leaves at 6:00?

Saturday is going to be really long day.. Shop comes Stockholm 6:30 and we can get back ship/bed after 6:00 next morning..

Do you know if they accept Visa at party place? How ever I dont think bar sells anything with credit card and Finnish bankcard maybe wont work at Sweden.

Hope there is cheaper games for PS3 at Stockholm than at Finland.. I would like to but Soul Calibur

[Mayhem]

With the event a mere 4 weeks away, I figure I should get some SEK... but how much do you think will be enough? I know Sweden was somewhat expensive, but it's been many years since I was there last... least the room is covered by the credit card.

[Mayhem]

Sadly Chris isn't going to be able to make it, so I have a spare bed to offer for two nights (Friday and Saturday) if anyone is interested...

[VHS]

Sweeet have had the bitlive site as startsite on firefox
for som weeks now, time to get tickets

[Subzero]

got my tickets

[Andreas Wallström]

@Subby, did you buy a ticket today?

@VHS, it's indeed about time.

@Mayhem, I wish I could help you with your question. Sweden should be pretty cheap for English people.

@Mika, the place take VISA, yes. We're gonna try to get some nice beer brands into the place too, but the owner (of course) has the final say in this. Some stores accept Euro, but then we're talking the big department stores. Kolingsborg only accepts SEK or card (like your VISA).

Times are still difficult over here and I can't afford to go, but I'm donating a whole CD shop over to the BIT Live team to sell and raise money for the event, and hope everyone has a great time. Maybe I can make a Skype webcam appearance or something Maybe I can be Max Headroom style on the shop

Chris

[Andreas Wallström]

I'm crying blood because you can't come. But thanks for donating the CD's! God, that's kind of ya! Let's work out the details in private and let's hope this new BIT Live crowd will buy lots of CD's!
