Swedish Open Contest 2008

[joey]

Well, I hope I might be lucky enough to stay with the Gustvasvavavavavvaon brother!

 

[Kenneth]

Joey, as soon as you have register I will book a place for you

 

[joey]

I registered yesterday? It hasn't shown up yet though.

Is Arlanda the same as Stockholm Airport?

 

[Kenneth]

Aha, Gunnar have not updated the page yet so I did not see your register.

Hmm, not sure, it may be Skavsta airport, I must check that. (Skavsta is pretty far south of Stockholm and not the best choise Edit: here is a link to a map that shows how bad it is to choose Skavsta instead of Arlanda, it is 20 times more distant than Arlanda from the venue).

I update this soon...

Checked, it is ARN = Arlanda

 

[joey]

I have just looked at a few flights, the cheapest was around 160GBP (200 EUR), which is pretty good.

 

[Kenneth]

Joey, you are the first name in my booking list for sleeping places

Here

 

[joey]

wow thanks. I love cubers!

ps: we should converse privately also

 

[Kenneth]

If you mean MSN then it not possible, the latest versions does not function on my old Win98 configuration

But PM's works fine, I'm always willng to be helpful if you need cubing advices, algs e.t.c. Just drop me one if there is something. Or if you need information about the upcoming competition, then please write to me.

BTW, you are not the only person in the booking list anymore, Johan Holmedal and his wery supporting father will be staying with you. Johan is, if you do not know already, one of the fastest cubers in Sweden, capable of 14 second averages, you will have a lot of fun

BTW,BTW, Joey, where in England are you, I'm asking because my brother is currently in London. If you are in the area and if you like I can PM you his phone number and you can give him a call for a cubing meetup. He is wery nice and I'm sure he will think it was fun if that happen to him at his staying. Like that?

 

[joey]

Sounds good Kenneth. Yes, PM is good, or maybe e-mail to further discuss details.

I'm scared of Johan

I live in Leeds, 200miles from London. So quite far-ish.

 

[Kenneth]

Ah, OK, newer mind then

I'm also afraid of Johan, and Gunnar is getting too, he has been Swedens #1 for a long while but now Johan is just a second behind =)

 

[AvGalen]

I am not entirely sure I will be there. It depends a bit on other tournaments around that date and the price of the plain tickets.

Can you write me down with a question mark?

Copy that for me

 

[Kenneth]

OK, I reserve places for you two.

 

[Gunnar]

Ah, OK, newer mind then

I'm also afraid of Johan, and Gunnar is getting too, he has been Swedens #1 for a long while but now Johan is just a second behind =)

I can honestly say that for the first time in years I feel a little nervous about being dethroned as the best swedish cuber.

But I can also tell that I'm getting closer and closer to a sub-13 average, thanks to my new cube. Johan will have to fight for the title.

 

[joey]

From next year, I might start competing for Sweden :O

 

[Jh543]

What do you average Joey?

// Johan

 

[joey]

15-16. But I'm a bit out of shape

Look forward to meeting you at Tommy's house

 

[Jh543]

[hdskull]

wow, .46 standard deviation! that's pretty consistent.

 

[Ton]

Ok, now most things are decided so I pick up this thread again =)

Free rooms for the weekend:

My brother says it is room for arond 10 persons to sleep at the venue and he got some more spaces to offer, his sofa, last time used by Edouard and Clement and his office used by three hungarians the last time.

So he can offer space for around 15 persons totaly. All you need to do to come is to register and get an air plane ticket to Arlanda airport (7 km away from the venue)

Let me know if you need a space to sleep, else there are plenty of hotels arond the airport if you like it a little more comfortable.

Ok reserve a place for me ,this week I arrange how I go there
