Title: Day of Discord : Edinburgh '10
Post by: Payne on February 25, 2010, 02:52:43 PM
This year, we are thinking of changing the Edinburgh date from August 23rd (or closest Saturday to) to a mid-june date - the reasons being numerous and based mostly on cost and availability of accomodation in Edinburgh in August.

I have chosen the date Saturday 12th June for now, though this is up for being changed if enough people need it to be. Discussion of DoD is as usual still mostly done on the dedicated board on POEE, but for exposure to more people who may or may not want to come up for it I'm posting it here too.

NOTE: There are still plans to run a second DoD event in the southron reaches of the UK this year, most likely around the traditional August date. As I will probably have my hands full with "Movin' To Southampton" plans around that time it may make more sense for someone else to arrange it.

We can change it by a week to the 19th if it's better for you. It seems mid june is best for everyone though, so it would have to be either the 12th or the 19th.

Especially African Dutch hiphop :) [it sounds just like Watskeburt to me, except it's a real language, not over-the-top street slang soup]

We are going ahead with a June 12th (a saturday, as ever) date for the Edinburgh DoD, two months from now, so if anyone wants to come then now would be a good time to start making arrangements for time off work/travel/accomodation etc.

So far, it seems to the usual suspects signed up for this: Myself, Pixie, Synaptyx, Trip.

It would be good to have a few more people show for this one to justify the date change (making it easier and cheaper to get to Edinburgh to maximise attendance), but of course I am not holding my breath :D

Note to Englishers and itinerent Scotspags and other foreign types: There are still plans to run a South Coast DoD in Southampton or Bournemouth on or around the 23rd of August.

On a only slightly related subject, RB and Trip: you better be getting your shit together for getting to Edinburgh on June 12th.

Or I'll "Customise" a guitar on your heads.

I have teh accomodation!  Just need a train.  On a scale of 1-Holy FUCK, what kind of  hangover should I be expecting?  thus what train would be advisable homewards?  *answer in Edinburgh thread please* :)

Pfft. Making me find and bump this thread and not righteously thread-jacking your other one. That'll be another pint you owe me, RB.

Also, for hangovers it really depends how much you drink. You don't HAVE to drink. Of course, if you keep pace with P3nT and I, you may well be feeling a little delicate on Sunday morning.

We should consider getting some flyers and such arranged I suppose. Any postering and leaflets will be more readily seen in June than in August due to it not being right in the middle of the Edinburgh Festivals.

I BOOKED MY FLIGHT TODAY!

17e Bremen to Edinburgh + 8e back + 2x5e random Ryan Air administration costs = 35 euros whoooooo :D

Now to book a middle-of-the-fucking-night return ticket to Bremen Airport (which is actually not in Bremen) for 30 euros and I'm DONE!

65 euro = Cheapest DoD tickets EVAR :D :D

oh and something like 3 pound for the bus from Edinburgh Airport to the Black Scottish Alien Mothership Disguised As A "Monument" (I know better ...)

dunno if you can get cheap flights like that from where you are Regret, Schiphol airport taxes are pretty steep. You might even want to consider going via Bremen, if you book quickly you got a good chance you can get the same flight for a similar price, when there are not many seats left the site says "ONLY A FEW SEATS LEFT!!!" and it didn't say that. But you should probably do it tomorrow or at least this week. You also need to borrow a creditcard to be able to book online (I'm assuming that, like me, you don't have one, and these backward peoples never heard of iDeal). Also I got 0 bags and no insurance to get at this price. I get my travel insurance elsewhere since I'll be making some more trips (and going to Germany often), but you basically need it for the off-chance that you break your leg or something and suddenly get presented with a zillion bucks of hospital bill and re-book your flight to have place for a cast leg and and and you really dont wanna know what accidents in foreign countries actually cost. I will shut up now.

So the only way i would make it to DoD is if i get this crappy job(the one i am now doing as a temp) i applied for and consequently bum some money.

Myself (confirmed),
Pixie (confirmed),
Synaptyx,
P3nT,
Trip (confirmed),
Regret (confirmed),
Roaring Biscuit (not heard anything about him not coming yet)
Faust (as above)
Davedim (highly unlikely, but I always put his name down anyway)

Looking into Karaoke bars, Curry Hooses for to appease the Denny Strangler and his voracious appetites.

We need to finally get around to meme-bombing a bookstore like the Tyrant of Kirkcaldy desires.

I'm still needing to design my Evangelical Tract With Religious Terms Substituted With Political Ones.

As far as other materials and ideas go, we could almost certainly get away with whatever we've used in previous years. We are going to be much more visible this year due to not clashing with the Festivals.

Also, I had a crazy idea for an uber troll, basically involves looking a bit like a tramp/art student (it comes naturally to me), and handing out weird as fuck questionnaires, with the option to fill in email addresses, with the incentive that there will be more weird "art" for them to get involved in in the future.

It's a double win, people who are weirded out are weirded out, people who aren't are just lining themselves up for long-term trollage.

Me and Payne were thinking we could do picnic stuffs for peeps in exchange for being bribed with booze.

Any takers?

Um yes? I think? We give you booze, you give us ... haggis? meat pies? :fap:

Also, I finally managed to contact my friends in Edinbugh (that I stayed at in DOD08), but they're busy that weekend :(

Um, so, what are my other options for surviving the night there? Without having to sleep under a cricket stadium? :-P

I suppose hostels are easier to book outside of the festival weeks, yeah?

I would PM RB and get the hostel details.

And yeah, hostels should be easier to book for a day or two outside of the festival weekend.

9 pounds a night :eek: that's not bad at all, indeed, for just a place to crash those beds look affordably sleepable!

Hey, Regret, have you thought about crashing places yet?

If we all stay in the same place (such as Brodies), it's probably most convenient for getting about and back.

Also, ATTENTION SYNAPTYX!! maybe you know about this already, but my friend sent me this link: http://www.taxitravels.co.uk/nightbus/
Which is a bus that goes back and from kirkcaldy, so maybe you don't have to leave at 23h to catch the last train this year?



Pixie I'm not allergic to anything! And there are hardly any foods that I don't like.

About the booze-bribes, I'm not sure if I can bring a bottle of Dutch Booze over, btw. Since I'll be travelling with hand luggage only, and you can't bring any liquids in hand luggage and such ... I could ask them if jello shots are okay?

Although whatever you buy in the tax-free area is considered "safe". Except Bremen is a tiny airport I forget what their taxfree booze shop looks like. Buuuuuut it is in GERMANY, which means that, even though we might not be able to get Weduwe Joustra (just to show you spags what an average non-disgusting bitter tastes like instead of Jaeger), strong liquor is nearly half-price in Germany, so tax-free even cheaper maybe (yeah the difference is in the taxes also, but "tax free" shops in Schiphol are still expensive as fuck).

And if all else fails we'll get some in the UK :-P Probably beers then, because we don't need to carry them that far and I prefer beers over strong liquor for not getting immediately completely shitfaced.

Pixie I'm not allergic to anything! And there are hardly any foods that I don't like.
i looked into getting a hostel reservation thingy, but it demanded a creditcard  and i no have, so if i could impose on you to arrange this too :D i will do a happy dance, buy you a beer, give you a hug and (of course) give you the monies for my lodgings.


My diet data:
Don't force me to drink a lot milk unless you want me to fart alot.
I need a lot of iron in my diet or i get lightheaded, but it takes about 2 weeks of no red meat (or other high iron food) before i feel anything, so don't worry about that too much.
aka nothing important.

Um I am unable to book stuff by card as the budget is low and it looks like we will be drinking in pubs, so just buy me and Payne a pint. I also only has nets on my phone which usually means that I cannot buy stuff online.

Bring your girl, RB it would be cool!

So with regret that's 5 for food, so far.

OKayyyyyy I made the reservations :D Fuck, that was a hassle, they indeed required a creditcard, but just for ID and charging if you don't show up, we have to pay at the hostel itself. So I got my mum's cc, but then when I had the guy on the phone he insisted that he needed to speak the owner of the creditcard in person.. Well I guess I can't blame him for exercising proper security, except that if I had made my reservation online it probably wouldnt have been a problem .. :-P

I'm sorry to say that I was too late for the cheapest 9 pound beds, so instead I got the slightly less cheaper 12 pound beds. Maybe they're bigger?

Also, I sent you an email, please give me a call okay?

oh, there's a bunch of waiting times, I'll be bringing my netbook, so we can watch movies. Got any good suggestions for inspiring prankative moods?

I was thinking Yes Men perhaps, I haven't seen it yet.

(Also, yes Payne, I WILL be bringing Total Recall, and we WILL make an attempt to view it this weekend--even if we fail)

"Er. Are you the Discordians?"

We figured the guy with the goatee in the black shirt would be Roaring Biscuit, since none of us had met him before. Except he turned out to be someone random from POEE that just read some days before there was gonna be a meetup in Edinburgh, which is where he lived, so yeah. Surprise Discordian, sweeet. He introduced himself as Harris, which is like haggis, except with more arse.

And then lots of lulz and a great time and pints and all sorts of stuff ensued. We had a blast. It was only on the way back that Regret and I realized that, as far as we could remember, nobody had actually bothered to take any pics? :lol:

I will post a more detailed report as events coagulate in my memory.

Yeah, I'd write a report but I can't really be bothered to atm.

Was a lot of people there this time, and it was good fun except for the needing to keep changing pubs every god damn five minutes.

It was fucking awesome to meet RB and Regret IRL.

We finally memebombed the fuck out of Waterstones the book shop, fulfilling Syns one big depraved sexual fantasy.

And I beset the World Cup with bees.
