Swedish Cube Day 2008

[joey]

why resist? just go, it's good for you

 

[Henrik]

Arnaud we talked about this last night, and I will quote you again:
" Get your priorities in order "

Come to Sweden

 

[AvGalen]

So
much
pressure
resist
must
I

You have to come. You told me you will teach me how to DNF sub54 in 3x3x3BLD (And I will do my best to teach you to get 50s).

I don't know if this is going to help or have to adverse effect but I will be there too

 

[Tyson]

If you go, I will buy you beer.

 

[AvGalen]

Lars: That motivates me even more to go
Tyson: That doesn't (was that even directed at me?)

But still, I won't go (be strong Arnaud)

 

[Tyson]

Oh yes, the beer was directed at you. I would wire money to Lars and ask him to purchase it for me and present it to you

 

[AvGalen]

Oh yes, the beer was directed at you. I would wire money to Lars and ask him to purchase it for me and present it to you

That's a pretty international beer-offer. An American guy sending money to a Belgian guy to buy a Dutch guy a beer in Sweden (I am guessing the beer wouldn't even be a Swedish beer)

Lars is going anyway. I don't think he would mind that beer.

(I also get the idea that me going/resisting to go is now part of a bet. That beer might just be an investment for Tyson)

 

[Kenneth]

Arnaud, we got most brands of Dannish beer, care for a Tuborg?

The latest news:

There will be prize money! (I'm not fully informed about it yet, I will get back to the subject when I know the details).

 

[joey]

Oooh tuborg. I put plenty of that on the shelves at the supermarket where i work. Although, it doesn't seem to be *that* popular.

 

[hr.mohr]

Carlsberg is better and the best are the Odense Classic

 

[Gunnar]

Nonono, all those are cheap crap-beers.

If you want great danish beer you should try any beer from Mikkeller. They don't have their own brewery but travel around to well-reputated breweries in Belgium, and other countries, and brew a new beer for each place they visit. Among my favourites: Mikkeller Monk's Elexir, Mikkeller Black (17.5% ), Mikkeller Black Hole.

Ok, besides the beer talk; Arnauld, you have to come. You know it'll be fun.

 

[Henrik]

Gunnar do you need me to bring some beer?

I am for sure going now it took too long to find out but I am going now.

See you all in Sweden also Aranud!!!

 

[Gunnar]

It's great to hear that you will com, Henrik.

I hope to break some swedish records, but I have much less time to practice now, since I started with my masters thesis.

I can offer cheep accommodations for people traveling to Swedish Cube Day 2008. I have a office in Kungsängen with toilet, shower, fridge and stove. If someone would like to stay there i can offer a space for 100 SEK (this is only to sponsor the 2500 SEK rent i pay). You will have to bring your own sleeping bag and pillows, and if possible a air mattress (i have a few to lend). I guess up to 6 or 8 people can fit in there.

Please just PM me if you are interested!
