What does it take to arrange a good party?
I just noticed that there will be no LCP this year. Instead of pestering people who need a deserved break to make me a party, I think it would be interesting to investigate what sort of workload it would take to arrange a small (40-50 people) C64/other 8-bit party myself. Mind you, this is just at the level of throwing ideas about.
So, you experienced party arrangers out there: what are the pitfalls and what does your checklist look like?
There is also one thing that might make this kind of hard to pull off, and that is the fact that I live in Oslo, Norway. So you Swedes, Danes and other EU citizens - hypothetically - if a party in the southern part of Norway seemed well arranged and cosy and not too expensive in itself - would you consider coming? |

Well, things can go bad without an electrician, and why not have him ? it takes those issues off my back.
If you have a proper sound-man, you should also have proper people on the rest of the assignments. IMO |

I'd probably show up, given due time to book train tickets etc (Swedish ticket prices are quite horrendous if you don't book well in advance). Probably some other people from Stockholm would be interested in joining up - it's not hard to go from here to Oslo. |

Exactly what can go wrong without an electrician? - as opposed to what can go wrong with an electrician present?
Exactly which types of failures do you expect you'd actually need an electrician for? |

Come one people, stop wasting everyone's time with projector specs and electrical needs. We're talking about a cosy little C64 party for 50 people, not Breakpoint.
And to answer Archmage's question, if there is no Swedish summer party, I don't mind driving 3 hours north instead of 3 hours south.

I would have to drive for 9+ hours... hmm.. not entirely out of the question, but it IS a looong way.

Simple: it's expensive. And like others have stated already -- electrical issues don't exist on small(er) parties. |

I've never been to Oslo, so fingers crossed you manage to throw something together. Always happy to help if I'm there and you need a hand. |

From Warsaw to Oslo:
~100 Euro with WizzAir
~300 Euro with Norwegian Airlines
