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? |

Quoting Jan HarriesWell, things can go bad without an electrician, and why not have him ? it takes those issues off my back.
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. |

If nothing unexpected happens, I will show up with my pixelslave Carrion. ;)
Just confirm the date early enough to make it possible for us to book cheap flights. |

To cheaply get to Oslo, fly to Rygge:

and then take the bus to Oslo:

E.g. a return trip Berlin-Oslo in June should cost little over 100. Other European cities cost about the same.

It might be a _very_ good idea to keep the dates 23-25 July open this summer. More info to come. |

About travelling... if you first take the airplane to Rygge, you are already almost at the party place. It's only half an hour from that airport so no need to go all they way to Oslo and back again ;) |
