So that would be, what, 247 people per block assuming that the lettering starts at K and runs backwards and that the numbering begins at -42?

I got the ticket the day before yesterday. happy Now all that remains is plane. I still have to check if I'll be arriving to Düsseldorf from London or Croatia. wink

Just, and I can never stress this enough, make sure it's Düsseldorf International (DUS) and not Niederrhein "forbidden by court to have 'Düsseldorf' in its name" Weeze (NRN), cuz it has nothing to do with Düsseldorf. It's near Kleeve for Force's sake.

I'm sorry, can you say that a few more times? You like NRN best? tongue

Also, I'm ordering my ticket now. I am probably going to be interested in rooming with someone at the hotel to save money, but first I need to figure out what dates I'm going to be there and if I'm going to be going anywhere before or after the con, and that's going to depend on what kind of time off I can get. Anyhoo, if anyone else is looking for a roommate, maybe we can start tentatively planning.

Luckily, Sabine already warned me about that. I'm looking at Germanwings now, maybe going to Köln and taking a bus, but I'm still looking at the cheapest option, because my budget for the Jedi-Con isn't very big unfortunately.

And interestingly enough, even though, even though you mentioned it is forbidden by court, the Ryanair page still has the name D-dorf Weeze. tongue

I'm probably going to be booking a hotel room for Friday through Sunday nights. If anyone is interested in sharing a room, let me know.

Ooooh.... I want to go SO BAD!! But I think I still have lectures until Tuesday after the Con! Curses upon you Warwick Medical School! I was at the con in 2001 (I think it was 2001...) when it was in Koeln. I actually lived in Duesseldorf for 8 years... so I speak the language and know the area really well... I wanna go I wanna go I wanna go! Maybe I'll just take some time off Uni...

Where is everybody staying? and can someone give me an estimate on the cost for hotels?

Fran x

Tim, you lucky Ewok you!! tongue
Well done on getting (most) things signed, sealed and almost delivered. Still not sure if I'll be joining you (sadly it's looking more unlikely than likely) but we'll see.

I say skip uni for a bit Fran, it'll be worth it wink

And yes Tim, what hotel will you be staying at, if you don't mind us asking? happy

Tim and I are going to stay here: Hotel Wartburg
It seems to be about 15 min away if you walk, but I'm probably about to need a taxi. Had some troubles with my lungs lately and if I'd walk, I sound like Darth Vader for about 30 min :-(

Con-Tickets are ordered but I haven't heard from them.
Train tickets should arrive tomorrow.


A few years ago there was a funny sci-fi/comedy movie in the cinemas called (T)Raumschiff Surprise [Dreamship Surprise] paroding Star Wars, Star Trek, MIB, Matrix, Back to Future,...
Plot summary: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0349047/plotsummary

There are few of us who'd like to see the movie on that weekend, but we have to find a location outside the jedi-con area so I'd like to know who else wants to see that movie?
Unfortunatelly it's only in German. There should be an English version, since it was on australien TV, but I can't find it.

Periode 1! I even have a poster of that in my room. grin I loved the lightwhip. That's soooo Lumiya, even though I doubt the creators of the movie even heard about her. tongue

I haven't seen the real English version either; it was just subtitles stuck on the actual movie. Pretty badly in some scenes, I have to admit. But it was watchable and I did understant everything in the end. wink

This Wartburg hotel looks really good. Better than a few places I've been looking at, at least. And its quite close to the Jedi-Con as well... thinking I might go for that option. Will probably do the booking and the flight over weekend, when I have some more free time.
