Common Ground '08, - PLEASE Keep discussion in the '09 thread! :)

^^^should post that to the other fire lists too.

HEYHEYHEY the great escape has been CANCELLED so but that means im coming to common ground! are there still tickets left my dears? where where where! how do i pay!!?!?
*throws money at face*
so so le excited.

theres some tix left - send email to common-ground2006(at)hotmail.com

blame katinca for the outdated email address

*has booked and paid tix* yay

Will be booking flights shortly!

Can I tentatively book picking uppage for myself and and one other person from the diamond* bus junction on the 3rd of October?

Thanks in advance!!

* = forgot the name of the actual bus junction but it's the massive bus junction at the end of the 'bahn

probably this year - CG arranged pickups will happen in a couple of big hits each day, rather than trying to organise pickups for each and every person/group that arrives at the O-Bahn stop (paradise).

Unless someone from Adelaide wants to step up and handle the whole thing - its just that its quite a big and ongoing job, that happens right when we are doing last minute prep for CG.

Also - we don't have a spare people mover this time, which again makes it a bit more difficult cuz we will probably be needing our Van regularly throughout the day.

again - if anyone from Adelaide can pitch in and arrange to pick-up individuals/smallgroups, it would be awesome! However we will be doing pickups, just not in the kinda continuous method we used last time.

Josh

good plan josh!

is there a bus that goes from the o-bahn stop to those shops near cg? i was just thinking if we can get ourselves there & grab supplies, maybe that would make it easier/quicker for pickups?? just a thought!

*squeeeee* cg is soon! 53 days to go!!

Well Josho I reckon that if James and I have a van by then (in the process of hunting one out now) then I/we will be up for doing some pick ups. Will talk to you guys about it when I next see you over some nice warm strongers and some stitch-up curry???!!....

^^^that would be awesome mateo!

OOooh Lexy!! Pick me! Pick me (up)!

and me! and me!! if you could that would be SO awesome!

when i book my flights i can PM you with guesstimated time of arrival and any other info you may need

*shyly puts her hands up for the lift*

Hoping to book my flights within the next 2 weeks so I will let you know.

It would be nice if everyone could just arrive at the same time!

Only 52 days to go!!

Ok spoken to Jameso and he's up for doing some driving too BUT although we are looking for a van we DON'T actually have one at the moment so its kind of pie in the sky (mmm pie...) at the moment. Though if there is a van floating around we will happily drive it to do pick ups. Will have a yarn to Josho and Kateo and keep you all posted...

Hmm booking flights sounds too much like actually being organised...then there's the fact that the week before is uni holidays so I'm thinking of heading up a few days early...

*sigh* Perth is never included in cheap flights! It's crazy that sometimes it's cheaper going Perth-Melbourne then Adelaide because Melbourne -Adelaide is always on sale.

Definitely not driving...

*is le booked flightwise*

I am flying up with one other at 2:15 and arriving in Adelaide at around 3:10pm. it's safe to say we can be at the Paradise junction at around 4pm onwards.

For those who are travelling up on the CG start and end dates (3-6), i'd start booking now: there wasn't much choice left

Mine are booked too. I'm arriving at 3pm Friday

yesterday I picked up a drum of D60. Its not little. I think I will need re-enforcements to get it off the trailer

awesome...

how many days 'till cg???

wooh!!

Its the secret to life! The universe! And everything!

whee! guess that means 43 days until im back in oz!

see you there kids

I must gain super saiyan pete skillz - you're pretty talented at transfer of knowledge. and cake.

I can almost smell Common Ground its getting so close now... The only sad part about that is that I'm scared I won't have Buugeng for it! I'll put in my order as soon as Dai makes more, but who knows if that'll happen before CG! It really is a hard knock life...

if it makes u feel any better, at this stage i am far from fluid with that crazy folding S staff - can't do combos longer than 3-4 moves without breaking flow or plane.

on another note, 36 days!!

Hi Everyone,

We have almost sold out for this year. I am expecting to sell out by the end of this weekend or early next week.

So better think quick if you want a ticket and haven't got one, coz there is nearing a time where I will say - 'nope' - 'thank-you - come again'

Cheers,
Kate

Hey Everyone,

I'm happy to say that Common Ground is sold out! With just over a month to go this is great going! Its shaping up to be the best yet this year - I'm quite excited!

Thanks for your support everyone!

If you haven't bought a ticket, its now too late. Try to be more organised next year. Please don't just show up - its not fair on us, or all the people who have been organised enough to make their contribution early. Gatecrashers will not be welcomed.

some people may have organised a ticket but not paid for it yet - if you are in this position, then you know who you are. If you are unsure, send me an email.

WOOOH!

Hooray... Getting so close now =D
Just got my new Camera yesterday... Will be taking some nice shots I hope =D
