Last edited by Gloom on Thu Aug 16, 2007 11:25 AM; edited 161 time in total

In 2007 CLOWN celebrates 10 years of lunacy! We will ofc have one hell of a party/event.

The town crier announced - "Hear ye, Hear ye! The CLOWNs are coming!" Curious people gathered to watch whatever spectacle he was jabbering about. Shortly you could hear cheerful laughter and shouts as the parade came around the corner. Balloons and funny hats were handed out to the children. Suddenly the parade stopped and the red-nosed participants chanted - "Bring in the CLO-OOO-WNS!" The watching crowd disolved, everyone a tad bit happier and warm inside. What a bunch of lunies, most of them thought and smiled.

A meet has been announced since aug 2006 so all and everyone could plan ahead/save money. Please reply to this post if you are interested/planning to participate.

Stay tuned for more details over the coming months...

Year: 2007
Date: Aug 17-19
Place: Gothenburg, Sweden
Equipment: CLOWN nose, pie and beer

Wheather forecast
Somewhat cloudy and perhaps a tad rain. Sorry lunies Sad

Program
This is ofc under construction, but there will be organised events throughout the celebration. Original idea is to have a fri(arrival)-sun(departure) event. This could ofc be changed.

13.00 We meet by the fountain in Brunssparken to have lunch at Palace (those interested and in town).

Hotel accommodation [Scandic Crown]
Ulfberg might be able to set something up. More details to come.
As we get closer to the showdown I will help those that want hotel accomondations with arrangements.

Trams and busses:
The easiest way to travel in Gothenburg is to go by tram or bus. You can buy a 24h ticket (free travel for 24h - not during the night though) for 50 skr (valid within the city of Goth). A single ticket is in comparison about 20 skr. If you plan on traveling outside of Goth (to see other things such as Marstrand) there are other more suitable tickets. The 24h tickets are bought at almost every Pressbyrån and now actually even on the trams (vending machines).

Tourism
I'll add useful links to this list
Visiting the City of Gothenburg
Gothemburg
Liseberg (Darkmoon Faire)
Marstrand

Some hotels
Booking site - several hotels
Booking site 2 - several hotels
IBIS Hotel - a cheap floating hotel located downtown

From the article:

Quote::

The unique architecture of Gotham City can be traced back to Judge Solomon Wayne during the pre-American Civil War era. Wayne's entrepreneurial skills made him a leading citizen in Gotham, starting a dozen businesses including the Gotham Buggy Whip Works.

Lovely!

Im aiming at 3 official days atm (one for arrival, one full day, and one for departure), could ofc change due to the interest, demands, suggestions and wishes Very Happy

I'll be there if at all possible! Since crap might still show up I'd guesstemate the probability of me showing up as 95% (5% reserved for deaths in the family, cataclysmic events or divine intervention). Will need accommodation if possible (hell if it's not I'll get a youth hostel or something ;)).

Count me in!!!As for sleeping place, there were about 10 ppl staying at my placelast big meet,was a bit crowded but we are all CLOWNs so the door is open Smile

Some rules apply tho: your coats are your own responsibility and brother-in-laws that dont behave will be thrown out!!! Wink
