The following message comes to us from Julian Ziesing: if you're going to WDC 08 in Vienna this year, maybe you can double your fun!
Hi all!
I hope you all had a great Xmas time. Here 2 good news for summer 2008:
1. BerliCon V will be August 8th-10th
The date is easy to remember: 08/08/08. We will be at a cozy and charming place close to the city center which makes sightseeing and clubbing really easy. We will have the venue for ourselves, with cheap beds and gaming rooms open day and night. On top of that good German beer and the opportunity to play football or beach volleyball. If you prefer a hotel that can be arranged as well. It will be the good old German style with the typical "family atmoshpere" :-)
2. Ber-Vie!! The double convention with 3 days vacation
As you might notice, BerliCon will be exactly 1 week before the WDC in Austria. That's no coincidence :-) Like in 2006, we will have a double convention again. A warm-up before the big event. This time we will start in Berlin, and end up in Vienna where the bus will take us directly to Burg Lockenhaus, the WDC castle.
The route is to be discussed. Via Hamburg? Munich? Dresden? Prague? In the end there might be several groups (and a discussion which one is the "main" group ;-) ). Most important thing is that it will be fun. Being together with dip players outside a convention has proven to be totally different (and much more relaxed) from meeting them on the convention only.
For more information have a look at the Ber-Vie website, and contact us at:
Happy New Year! :-)
