        does the bear pope take catholic shits in the woods?

        • 2014-09-01 24458, 2014

      • ianmcorvidae
        anyway

        • 2014-09-01 24400, 2014

      • ianmcorvidae
        yeah XD

        • 2014-09-01 24407, 2014

      • ruaok
        though I guess we need the more esoteric stuff.

        • 2014-09-01 24417, 2014

      • ruaok
        because .dk has loads of interesting chocolate.

        • 2014-09-01 24423, 2014

      • ruaok
        I bet.

        at the chicago one we mostly ate the plain Milka, IIRC, but :P

        • 2014-09-01 24430, 2014

      • Freso
        We have a fair amount.

        • 2014-09-01 24430, 2014

      • ruaok
        choocloate with herring, no?

        • 2014-09-01 24437, 2014

      • Freso
        But it's also dirt expensive.

        • 2014-09-01 24450, 2014

      • Freso
        ruaok: Probably, though I wouldn't know where to get it. :D

        • 2014-09-01 24458, 2014

      • ruaok
        dirt cheap, or expensive like your mom, Freso ?

        • 2014-09-01 24413, 2014

      • ruaok runs even further away

        • 2014-09-01 24416, 2014

      • Freso
        I would recommend getting as much chocolate from Germany/not-Denmark, as it'll be a lot cheaper than getting it locally.

        • 2014-09-01 24426, 2014

      • ruaok
        nikki: yes please. chocolate. send receipts.

        • 2014-09-01 24440, 2014

      • nikki
        ok

        • 2014-09-01 24440, 2014

      • ruaok
        I'll bring a couple of tasty catalonion bars.

        • 2014-09-01 24443, 2014

      • Freso
        +as possible

        • 2014-09-01 24455, 2014

      • nikki
        how much do you want? :P and any particular preferences?

        • 2014-09-01 24458, 2014

      • ruaok
        who else has access to good chocolate?

        • 2014-09-01 24408, 2014

      • ruaok
        nikki: the weird stuff. 20 bars?

        • 2014-09-01 24417, 2014

      • ianmcorvidae
        I could troll-bring some hershey's, but :P

        • 2014-09-01 24423, 2014

      • ruaok
        thats 2 per person.

        • 2014-09-01 24425, 2014

      • ruaok
        30?

        • 2014-09-01 24430, 2014

      • nikki
        haha

        • 2014-09-01 24431, 2014

      • nikki
        ok

        • 2014-09-01 24437, 2014

      • Freso
        In general, if we need something and can get it from outside .dk and it can survive the transport, it will likely be cheaper than getting it in .dk.

        • 2014-09-01 24437, 2014

      • ruaok
        ianmcorvidae: scharfenbergers?

        • 2014-09-01 24443, 2014

      • nikki
        the ritter sport was on offer the other day, wonder if it still is

        • 2014-09-01 24444, 2014

      • Freso
        DK is hella non-cheap.

        • 2014-09-01 24456, 2014

      • ruaok
        Freso: is it anything like .SE ?

        • 2014-09-01 24403, 2014

      • Freso
        3 per person at least.

        • 2014-09-01 24413, 2014

      • Freso
        ruaok: Slightly more expensive than .se for most things.

        • 2014-09-01 24421, 2014

      • ruaok
        everyone who has access to good chocolate: bring it.

        • 2014-09-01 24421, 2014

      • Freso
        Alcohol being one of the few exceptions. :p

        • 2014-09-01 24437, 2014

      • ruaok
        ouch. that sucks. and still no herring tequila./

        • 2014-09-01 24441, 2014

      • ruaok
        :(

        • 2014-09-01 24453, 2014

      • Freso
        "still", ie. "yet, being the keyword. ;)

        • 2014-09-01 24459, 2014

      • Freso
        *"yet"

        • 2014-09-01 24405, 2014

      • ruaok
        Freso: how can we be smart about public transit?

        • 2014-09-01 24414, 2014

      • ruaok
        often times that is a royal pain.

        • 2014-09-01 24417, 2014

      • Freso
        From the airport or in general?

        • 2014-09-01 24417, 2014

      • ruaok
        are there group cards?

        • 2014-09-01 24426, 2014

      • ruaok
        most to and from the venue to the house.

        • 2014-09-01 24431, 2014

      • Freso
        Let me check up on it.

        • 2014-09-01 24453, 2014

      • ruaok
        please do. it always ends up being a cluterfuck and I am sure we can do better.

        • 2014-09-01 24409, 2014

      • ruaok
        ok, what else should we discuss?

        • 2014-09-01 24411, 2014

      • Freso
        Danish public transport is pretty good.

        • 2014-09-01 24417, 2014

      • navap
        And how easy would it be to get a sim card with data access for the weekend?

        • 2014-09-01 24430, 2014

      • Freso
        (I mean, we complain about it a lot, but it's still better than most places. :))

        • 2014-09-01 24445, 2014

      • ruaok
        oh, yes. I'd like that too please.

        • 2014-09-01 24454, 2014

      • Freso
        navap: That should be fairly easy.

        • 2014-09-01 24458, 2014

      • ruaok
        hints to what providers are good and where to get the sim cards are good piece of info

        • 2014-09-01 24426, 2014

      • Freso
        Heck, I think I could probably lend out two of my SIM cards if you don't go too crazy with them.

        • 2014-09-01 24426, 2014

      • ianmcorvidae
        any idea how good/bad the wireless will be at this place?

        • 2014-09-01 24440, 2014

      • Freso
        (Though those are data only - no texting or phoning.)

        • 2014-09-01 24451, 2014

      • ianmcorvidae
        the SIM cards are probably mostly for data anyway, yeah

        • 2014-09-01 24402, 2014

      • Freso
        ianmcorvidae: At CBS it is fairly good.

        • 2014-09-01 24411, 2014

      • Freso
        Obviously no clue about the apartment's.

        • 2014-09-01 24412, 2014

      • ruaok
        I'm going to pack a wifi access point again.

        • 2014-09-01 24414, 2014

      • ianmcorvidae
        oh, I meant at the house. CBS I assumed would be good

        • 2014-09-01 24433, 2014

      • ruaok
        I would hope that at least the connection is decent. I'll also bring a raspberry pi and other shizzle.

        • 2014-09-01 24402, 2014

      • ruaok
        Freso: I arrive a day earlier than everyone else. wanna make herring tequila?

        • 2014-09-01 24413, 2014

      • ruaok
        either that or go for a bike ride?

        • 2014-09-01 24422, 2014

      • nikki would like to know where the nearest shops are to the house

        • 2014-09-01 24424, 2014

      • Freso
        ruaok: If it's a lot of bother to pack your AP, I can retrieve mine from my mother's - and kloeri can probably conjure one as well.

        • 2014-09-01 24445, 2014

      • Freso

      • kloeri
        Freso, ruaok: I have an access point stored at CBS if that's where you need it

        • 2014-09-01 24439, 2014

      • Freso
        kloeri: It's for the apartment where people will be staying.

        • 2014-09-01 24439, 2014

      • ruaok
        kloeri: its more for when the wifi at the house sucks.

        • 2014-09-01 24459, 2014

      • ruaok
        becaus most access points that airbnb people buy can't handle 10 geeks and their 5 devices each.

        • 2014-09-01 24459, 2014

      • navap
        The airbnb page says the hosue sleeps 8, but we've got 10 slots on the wiki page. Do I need to sleep in the hammock outside? :p

        • 2014-09-01 24457, 2014

        yes

      • kloeri
        and since I've been busy moving I haven't gotten around to scribbling down restaurants yet

      • Freso
        kloeri: Anyway, make a section on https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/MusicBrainz_Summit/14 with food places you know of?

      • ruaok
        more seriously… there are two couch beds for random people

        • 2014-09-01 24459, 2014

      • ruaok
        did anyone implement "re-opening" accounts that I wasn't aware of?

        • 2014-09-01 24420, 2014

      • nikki
        no

        • 2014-09-01 24420, 2014

      • bitmap
        nope

        • 2014-09-01 24425, 2014

      • ianmcorvidae
        no, but if you've previously deleted your account you can register a new one with the same name as the old one

        • 2014-09-01 24442, 2014

      • ianmcorvidae
        it'll have a different row ID and you won't get "credit" for your old stuff or anything, but

        • 2014-09-01 24455, 2014

      • ruaok
        yeah, his account stats said: "new account"

        • 2014-09-01 24412, 2014

      • ruaok
        anyways.

        • 2014-09-01 24415, 2014

      • ruaok
        what else?

        • 2014-09-01 24433, 2014

      • Freso
        ruaok: Alright, I have public transport info open now - let me know when you want to discuss options.

        • 2014-09-01 24448, 2014

      • ruaok
        group tickets, with advance purchase option.

        • 2014-09-01 24400, 2014

      • ruaok
        can we buy a pile of those ahead of time?

        • 2014-09-01 24437, 2014

      • Freso
        http://www.moviatrafik.dk/dinrejse/Priser/hovedst… seems to be the cheapest option.

        • 2014-09-01 24449, 2014

      • ruaok
        ok, if there is nothig else "officially" to discuss, lets close for now and Freso and I will continue.

        • 2014-09-01 24456, 2014

      • Freso
        We (well, you) will need two "travel zones" (1 and 2).

        • 2014-09-01 24405, 2014

      • ruaok
        really wow.

        • 2014-09-01 24417, 2014

      • Freso
        So that's 36 DKK per 24-hour per person.

        • 2014-09-01 24435, 2014

      • kloeri
        ruaok, Freso: anything I should ask CBS? I'd like to poke them again just to make sure we're on track

        • 2014-09-01 24439, 2014

      • Freso
        So about 10 € for 48 hours of free travel if at least 25 people join in.

        • 2014-09-01 24407, 2014

      • ruaok
        and we're also not 25 people.

        • 2014-09-01 24418, 2014

      • ruaok
        if we can travel in groups of 3-5 that would be ideal.

        • 2014-09-01 24418, 2014

      • Freso
        Also, we're not quite at... yeah.

        • 2014-09-01 24424, 2014

      • Freso
        Okay. Next option.

        • 2014-09-01 24440, 2014

      • Freso
        There doesn't seem to be group tickets per se.

        • 2014-09-01 24450, 2014

      • Freso
        At least I can't find any info about it. :/

        • 2014-09-01 24412, 2014

      • ruaok
        ok, everyone, thanks for your time. stick around if you want to hear about the intracacies of the CPH public transit system. :)

        • 2014-09-01 24430, 2014

      • ruaok

        • 2014-09-01 24444, 2014

      • kloeri
        Freso: maybe try calling DSB perhaps?

        • 2014-09-01 24405, 2014

      • ruaok
        and the machines at the station closest to us… can they take chip-bank cards? From spain?

        • 2014-09-01 24418, 2014

      • ruaok
        I know the offical bank card won't be accepted.

        but my personal one from spain should be.

        • 2014-09-01 24433, 2014

        Visa Electron.

        Which seems to be a big deal.

        Freso: or maybe the local tourist information?

        • 2014-09-01 24441, 2014

        I think they should be able to.

        ns.nl doesn't accept that.

        • 2014-09-01 24444, 2014

        at all.

        kloeri: I could try and call DSB on the morrow.

        • 2014-09-01 24402, 2014

        Freso: please do.

        • 2014-09-01 24409, 2014

        ruaok: Anyway.

        • 2014-09-01 24409, 2014

      • ruaok wonders how trustworthy DSB is.

        for the US you would call three times. if the stories all lined up, you got the truth.

        • 2014-09-01 24433, 2014

      • ruaok
        if not, call back until some sort of story congeals.

        I'd expect visa elextron to be accepted as it's not all that uncommon for young people in Denmark to have that

        • 2014-09-01 24405, 2014

      • ruaok
        kloeri: good to know.

        • 2014-09-01 24409, 2014

        If they confirm that there are no group tickets, the options I'd recommend are basically either city passes or "10-trip tickets".

        • 2014-09-01 24421, 2014

      • ruaok
        and since I arrive before most people, I can check things out and try and anticipate problems

        • 2014-09-01 24439, 2014

      • ruaok
        can 10-trip tickets be shared between people on the same ride?

        • 2014-09-01 24443, 2014

      • ruaok loves that feature

        • 2014-09-01 24409, 2014

      • kloeri
        should be fairly easy figuring out in advance which cards are accepted at the stations

        • 2014-09-01 24413, 2014

      • ruaok
        if so, that is a good solution.

        A city pass is either 24 hours (80 DKK) or 72 hours (200 DKK) for zones 1 through 4 (the airport is in zone 3, you will stay in zone 2 and CBS is in zone 1 - you won't need zone 4).
