Me and Eivind have played around with this idea a bit, and I thought I'd ask you fine gents if you'd be interested in spending a weekend in Oslo this summer, making noise, BBQing, drinking beers/doing drugs(,touching boners)?
We have a fairly large rehersal space with a big fridge+small freezer, microwave, couch, toilet access, a bunch of guitars, basses, keys, noise makers, amps, drum kit(s) etc. We can be loud there 24 hours a day on Saturday and Sunday. Friday we can start at 6pm. I estimate that we can fit around eight people there as far as sleeping goes. Two on the couch, two-three (depending on your need for personal space) on a queen size inflatable mattress, plus a few more on thinner/less pristine underlay. I can also host two people at my place. Hostels are also an option for those who really need their personal space.
Your expenses will be:
Plane ticket (depends on where you're coming from, but you can score some cheap(er) tickets if we manage to set the date in the not so distant future)
Shuttle bus/train to+from the airport. (bus $8, train $21)
Public transport tickets. This depends on how much we want to go out and about, but they are $3.50 each and last an hour.
Food. While pretty expensive, living on a student diet for 3 days has never killed anyone or their wallets. I can probably make some larger stews/soups at home to bring also. Fill up that fridge and nuke that grub later!
Beer. Our cheapest beer is $1.70 if I remember correctly. It's pretty shitty compared to more fancy pants stuff, but it'll get you drunk.
Drugs. I have some fun stuff laying around for those who seek to broaden their minds.
I've also played around with the idea of contacting a venue if we end up going for it and people want to play some live music. Solo stuff, improv, internet collabs with other ILFers coming together for the first time? I don't know. Could be interesting, could be terrible.
Thoughts? Ideas? Questions? Sexual innuendos?
