It comes from the slang "paxa", which means to reserve or occupy something. He just put down another "x" in there. To "paxa" is about the same as to "call shotgun"...

Going to buy tickets tomorrow or so... Just to make sure maybe someone could double check my plans:

SJ-train from Lund C to Skövde C. Date of travel: Tuesday 14th of august, Date of going home ("Hemresa" :p?) 20th of August.

I'll look into finding the venue but in time of emergency, perhaps someone local could share their cellphone number? Just pm me and I'd be grateful.

If you guys need help cleaning up or something the 20th I can book a later train so tell me when would be good times to actually book the train (arrive around 14:00, take train back around 15:00 or something idk)

I don't have any kind of sleeping mat... I was planning to bring a pillow and perhaps a blanket but otherwise I'm fine with just sleeping in my clothes on a sofa or something. (I'm up for melee sofa competitions ;] )

Oh and I noticed how you didn't have anything on Dalfen regarding travel. I'm 99% he'll come together with me, he's my little babby.

I have tried to to a contact list for people involved in ESA. At least most of the organizers are on that list so far. Send me a PM if you feel that you want to get the list. Otherwise the list will be printed for everyones use at the gaming area.

You can also save my cellphone number:
(+46) 0733 263980

If you like to help cleaning and such. You can take a train to sometime on the afternoon would be good. People that travel home late have the oppertunity to be at the venue until late. Probably 18-19 would be no problem.

I hope we can be done with packing down most stuff during the day ours, let´s say 10-14. All help appreciated.

Before I look for traintickets I would like to know if there is anyone that goes from the area around Gothenburg by car, that would like to carpool from this city to Skövde and back down again? Send me a PM or write in the thread

We already checked, doesn't seem like anyone's going from Gothenburg by car.

So I thought it was about time I checked train tickets myself and Regional costs just 69:- (heh heh heh) each way. The other option is 171:-, which goes 20-30 minutes faster, but since that's just a one hour trip, it's not much...

So at the moment I'm considering the trains that will get me to Skövde at 13:27 on the Thursday and leaving... well, I have a variety of options during the Sunday. Probably going with 14:32 or 18:32.

Also I secured my means of sleeping so yeah.

I assume Krones Wink

Always helpful to add currencies here Wink

Well, yeah, obviously it's SEK. I guess I by default only care to note what currency stuff is in when it's not my native currency.

2012-08-08 01:19:31 am

KennyMan666, you don't want to take the same train as me and maybe Robosparkle and DRSynj? (sorry if I slaughtered any names)

We are taking a train around 2pm. My exact times are in my previous post that I believe is on the first page.

If I read your posts correctly you're traveling already on Monday. I'm not going until Thursday, which would make taking the same train a bit iffy.

What? Just make a time machine and...uh, profit!

Well, that was a blunder. Guess we'll see you Thursday in Skövde then ^^'

Alright, haven't decided when I'll leave on the Sunday, but I went ahead and ordered the Gothenburg-Skövde ticket, at least. I'll arrive at 13:27 on Thursday the 16th. I know exactly where the venue is so no need to meet me at the station.

meh

Don't worry, we should have enough TV's so that each runner can have their own :p

Ouh, I want mine set up at the end of my sleeping bag =D

2012-08-09 06:12:13 am

meh

I don't think having TV's setup in the sleeping room is a good idea...or you could simply move your sleeping bag to the practice room ^^

...or you could wear clothes, sitting in a couch while doing/watching practise runs and sleep in the sleeping bag. So many options to concider :O

That would be an impressive amount of TV's O.O

How many runners are comming? ~20?

Got my tickets. They're booked at
11:25 Lund C - 15:27 Skövde C
16:55 Skövde C - 20:34 Lund C

Still found no napsack so I'm hoping there's a sofa to sleep on the whole week :/... What's the approximate sofa/runner ratio?
