Early birds at ASM

category: general [glöplog]
 

Hello there.

Suppose that someone is getting to ASM one day earlier (on the 27th of July, Wednesday). What are the (cheap) options for accommodation ?

Youth hostels. Check Stadion Hostel (in the Helsinki olympic stadium, you can't miss it), it's relatively close to the partyplace and tested by demosceners since 1995 :)

Otherwise, beg some finns for hospitality (offering booze will help).

come to preparty at suomenlinna, then booze with sceners and pass out somewhere.

Hopefully the pre-party won't end up in the DTM club like a few years back. At least, I wouldn't suggest Navis to pass out in there.

navis: stadion hostel is closed due to the near world championships in athletics. getting a room can become hard, it was even hard for me when I booked some weeks ago.
check www.hel.fi and there the tourism page for a list of hostels and hotels.
and be prepared: all hostels raised the prices due to the championships. so expect a hostel room for a hotel price.
best idea might really be asking some scener =)

It almost sounds like when Rolling Stones playet in HKI right before Assembly... We found an hostel some 30 mins by train away (and it was _scary_).
Best idea is to go to suomenlinna and convince some scener there to let you crash on their floor.

No, i didn't pass out in the park out of DTM, it was uncle-X and Synteesi. I had some interesting conversation of an hour or so with a drunk gay fashion designer which kept on saying how cool italian music from the 60s was. :)

ask nosfe if you can crash at his place. he lives in a big house by the sea. it would suit a president!

Tomcat: DDT is still saying 50 will go 'like that' - so maybe get another opinion?
navis: come to the preparty with us, and afterwards there are probably someone to give shelter for the first night. when people get drunk they are much easier to persuade ;)
