GP Amsterdam!

[Ben Titmarsh]

So GP Amsterdam is approaching:

I'm really tempted by this and just wanted to find out who else is considering it.  I've got exactly one day of holiday entitlement left and am trying to figure out whether it would be best to take off the friday or monday.  I'm thinking monday because that way we won't have to miss our flight if we do well in the GP, and if we fail at the GP sunday night would be the perfect opportunity to head out on the lash.

Pimlico is a lot more convenient to visit for games, but fine...

Takes me less time to get a plane to Amsterdam than it does to get the train to Pimlico...

[Ben Titmarsh]

does that mean you're in then Mills?

[James Mills]

That is something I will have to get back to you on.

Hi all

I've booked a 3 bed private ensuite room at the Bulldog hotel (really great hostel and location). It takes under 30 mins to get to the venue by metro but is well placed if you want to go out in the evening.

Book these same asap as they seem to be going quite fast. My room is already full.

You only have to pay €1 to book them and if you cancel 72 hours before your arrival you don't have to pay the rest so it seems worth it even if you're not sure you'll be going!

Price works out as €128 for each night. 

Would be great if there were a bunch of us staying there!

Soooo tempted, will have to chat with new boss though...

[Dan Barrett]

Similarly, I need to work out whether I can afford/justify coming for a format I'm not too fussed about playing...

[Ben Titmarsh]

Dan you should get fussed because it is second only to limited in magic-format-awesomeness!

 

EDIT: Ok maybe third if you consider Commander a format (which I do!)
