| nabla | 2004-08-21, 10:30:55 | | For those who want to book VERY cheap EasyJet flights : the 2005 Bug Gathering will happen from August 19 to August 22. |
| Marv | 2004-08-13, 11:07:24 | | Damn EasyJet introduced a new direct flight Berlin-Geneva just DAYS after the gathering. Oh well, we will make good use of that next year - both directions, hopefully! 8^) |
| SKAcz | 2004-08-10, 14:10:46 | | Oh yes, nice pages. Maybe some day I will make great travel and will visit legendary Geneva also :) |
| nabla | 2004-08-03, 17:49:10 | | The gathering page is now updated with pictures, but I haven't had time to check everything yet. |
| nabla | 2004-08-03, 15:26:25 | | You can already find a lot of pictures here, but not all are yet ordered and have the people on them named. |
| nabla | 2004-08-03, 14:24:19 | | Lost & found : one white T-shirt in my apartment, and one grey cap with "AZ" written, in one of the bags we left at the park. If these are dutch, I may give them to Ishamael to reduce the distance. |
| nabla | 2004-08-03, 14:20:59 | | wortel, would you be kind enough to record that sound for the Geneva gathering history ? :-) |
| nabla | 2004-08-03, 14:18:15 | Thanks KingOfBug, next Geneva gathering will be in 2005 unfortunately, but if you are eager to play next week, come to moosejaw's place next Monday evening.
Skacz, if your remark was about adding the FICS handles to the tournament's results, it's now done. |
| KingOfBug | 2004-08-03, 09:10:45 | | It a was a great week end! I thanks Fabrice for all and see u next week, of course! |
| SKAcz | 2004-08-03, 05:35:33 | | Hi, can You please add near Names or to this forum nicks on FICS that was used in Berlin tournament ? The names are not in Berlin wrote and the nicks are not here, hard to understand who is who in detail :) |
| TheBestGirl | 2004-08-03, 05:34:07 | Hello to all who were on the place to be,
I enjoyed the gathering very much and I'm looking forward to see you again in 2005 (Berlin/Geneve/Stockholm?/(Leiden or Delft?)
regards,
Nathalie. |
| Marv | 2004-08-03, 02:44:20 | Hey Fabrice,
thanks for the great gathering, it was a pleasure as always!
Now i keep hearing that slurping sound of wortel. I suggest you put an mp3 or so on the web page... |
| nabla | 2004-08-02, 04:13:01 | | Tournament results are posted here ! |
| nabla | 2004-07-31, 20:36:45 | | The tournament was won by marcusm and wortel after a final against Cranith and Ishamael. More infos and pictures are coming. |
| ludeo | 2004-07-29, 03:02:16 | | In case we have time for other things in Geneva besides bughouse here are two important links: www.fetes-de-geneve.ch and www.lakeparade.ch. Since the weather will be almost perfect I will bring along my inline skates (there is a big skater park with many quarter and half pipes in the center) and of course swimming trunks, the lake is cool!! |
| nabla | 2004-07-27, 15:40:53 | Good idea Marv, I'll do a summary :
ludeo pagloppaglop Kingofbug marcusm TheBestGirl Ishamael Ilsensine Cranith masacre wortel FantasticCat venomous Marv Tecumseh zola moosejaw Tjeulesbetes, as far as FICS is concerned. The places to sleep are 100% fully booked ! |
| Marv | 2004-07-27, 10:03:53 | | ...just curious...got a provisional participants list ready? Seems like a lot of people are coming this year! |
| Tecumseh | 2004-07-27, 01:37:55 | | fermy can't come :-( |
| nabla | 2004-07-25, 14:29:43 | | Zola, I am very glad that you come, but what is your minimal standard for a place to sleep ? I will find a place for you, but the capacity is now so stretched to the limit that you may get the lower end. |
| Zola | 2004-07-25, 13:58:29 | Count me in for another excellent bughouse gathering in Geneva!
Well, its maybe too late, but any sleeping places and bughouse partners for the tournament?
Thanks nabla for organizing again this very nice event and looking forward to see you all in Geneva
|
| nabla | 2004-07-25, 07:23:24 | | After some thinking, it seems best that everyone sends me an e-mail (see this page for the address) telling me about his/their arrival time. This way I will be able to reply in confirmation that somebody will care of your arrival, and to send you details of the phone numbers / meeting places, just in case something gets wrong. |
| venomous | 2004-07-24, 12:14:14 | Hi!
I also need a partner for the tourney.
It's the downside of signing up in the last minute, I guess.
If fermy can't make it, I would be more than happy to play with you.
Regards
Lars |
| Tecumseh | 2004-07-24, 12:11:36 | It seems like fermy will probably not be able to come. If he does not (we should know on Monday) indeed I would need another partner for the tourney .. anyone ?
Another thing: on my way back could someone give me a hike to (or near to) Basel ?
I am sure Geneva will be fun as it has been in the past !
|
| nabla | 2004-07-24, 03:48:48 | Tecumseh is in !
And in the same time, the number of places to sleep has indepently decreased by 2 :-( So I am sorry to announce that the places to sleep are now fully booked, given that fermy and Marv come (I still got no confirmation from them).
Of course, for people who don't mind sleeping on the floor, there will always be a place :-) |
| nabla | 2004-07-23, 15:56:52 | | By the way, for the moment venomous has been the last to register and the first to tell me about his arrival time. I am waiting for the others' details. |
| nabla | 2004-07-23, 13:19:20 | Yihaa too !
There will be fireworks on Friday evening, but much smaller than what you saw last year. And there will be amateur fireworks everywhere on Sunday evening because it will be the national celebration, which happens to attract everyone in the Parc des Bastions - I don't know whether it is a good or bad thing :-) |
| venomous | 2004-07-23, 10:22:40 | The flight has been booked!
Yihaa!
Lars |
| FantasticCat | 2004-07-23, 08:40:28 |
Probably there will be fireworks -on your board Marv, if you get a good partner who indulges your sac-sitting:) |
| Marv | 2004-07-22, 10:15:24 | if venomous comes, its due to the constant insults i sent him that he is a chicken.
Will there be fireworks again? |
| nabla | 2004-07-22, 10:00:17 | | Welcome Ilsensine ! The last news are that fermy may not come, that venomous might come, and that there will be more than enough places for everyone - I got some more. So late subscriptions are welcome. |
| Masacre | 2004-07-18, 08:57:51 | | Ilsensine will be joining us. So now we'll come with Masacre TheBestGirl Ishamael Ilsensine Wortel Cranith. |
| MiRU | 2004-07-02, 04:19:48 | | Hey, I have looked it up! Kabul is not close to Detroit. But there might be some cheap flights to Baghdad. |
| Tjeulesbêtes | 2004-07-01, 05:35:58 | | Now on business trip, I'll look for a gathering in Kabul ;-) |
| MiRU | 2004-06-29, 04:02:51 | | Is there a gathering anywhere near Detroit? :-) |
| nabla | 2004-06-28, 09:28:02 | | business trip to the gathering, that sounds good :-) |
| MiRU | 2004-06-28, 07:57:02 | | I would like to visit the gathering, but I dont know yet if I get sent on a business trip. |
| FantasticCat | 2004-06-23, 16:19:59 |
I will definitely be coming and have booked my ticket to Switzerland |
| nabla | 2004-06-23, 02:39:30 | | fermy will be coming. That makes at least 4 places left, possibly more. |
| masacre | 2004-06-20, 10:29:59 | | I see the other dutchies mentioned the fact we booked and are comming already. |
| TheBestGirl | 2004-06-18, 14:22:59 | Hmm, better not talk about football. I will need to +cen *some* Germans if they make remarks about Holland not reaching the quarterfinals ;).
Piraat won't come, nabla, I guess that makes 5 places?
|
| nabla | 2004-06-18, 07:30:36 | | Knowing people in Geneva, they will rather be mad about England losing to France than beating a distant swiss german team :-) |
| FantasticCat | 2004-06-18, 06:11:58 |
Thanks Nabla. It is very likely I will come. I may know for certain in about a week's time. Are you sure though that anyone wants an Englishman to stay with them after the football yesterday? :) |
| nabla | 2004-06-17, 19:19:27 | | If everyone who thinks about coming really comes (unlikely), there are about 4 places left. |
| nabla | 2004-06-17, 19:17:29 | | I got your FICS message FantasticCat. As I was saying, there is still place for your accomodation ! |
| FantasticCat | 2004-06-15, 15:27:46 |
Berlin was so good that I am thinking of checking out Geneva aswell. Probably 75% chance I will come. |
| nabla | 2004-06-15, 10:02:45 | After some research, it looks like there will be place for about 15 persons to stay. There will be one for you Marv, niceness is another matter :-)
I hope you will manage to come ! |
| Marv | 2004-06-12, 03:17:26 | | I would very much like to come, some uncertainties are left. If you can, get me a nice place to stay 8^) |
| nabla | 2004-06-09, 08:25:24 | | I look forward to seeing you fellow Dutchies ! For the moment there is room for the lodging of everyone announced here, but other people who would like to come should better say it soon. I'll look for some more places to stay. |
| Ishamael | 2004-06-09, 07:03:24 | | The group of fellow Dutchies consists of Cranith, masacre, Piraat, wortel and me. |
| TheBestGirl | 2004-06-08, 14:19:02 |
I plan to come along with a group of fellow Dutchies.
(chance = 99.9%).
|
| nabla | 2004-06-07, 07:29:29 | | Hi Altais ! Is it OK if I send you an e-mail saying that I invite you to the gathering and that you will stay at my place (even if in the end you may as well stay in someone else's place) ? Or do you need anything else ? Anything on paper ? Send me an e-mail with the details at the address mentioned in http://www.pion.ch/general/mail.php . Btw, where do you come from ? |
| Altais | 2004-06-06, 07:17:24 | | Who is organizator of gathering and can he help me with visa? :) |
| marcusm | 2004-06-04, 20:11:42 | | Planning to come (95%) |
| ludeo | 2004-06-02, 06:20:54 | | Count me in! I hope to get a Dutch partner! |
| nabla | 2004-05-23, 06:32:02 | | Participants are for the moment Tjeulesbetes, pagloppaglop and moosejaw. |
| nabla | 2004-01-07, 04:53:23 | | The 2004 Geneva Bughouse Gathering will happen from July 30 to August 2. I'm looking forward to see you there ! |
