FTR Eurotrash tour / gathering

[ake]

We've been discussing this subject for quite a while now so I figured it's time to start a topic about it. For you whom it may concern, post your ideas here.

I was thinking sometime around spring/summer 2006. And I also think we should go to Amsterdam, hell yeah! Other suggestions are Paris and Monte Carlo.

Who's interested?

pingviini
arkana
sandstorm?

For those who have no idea what the hell I'm talking about it's basically us ftr'ers from europe meeting up getting wasted and playing poker.

[arkana]

Amsterdam, Monte Carlo and/or cruise with compulsory goatse t-shirts

[Pingviini]

You know any good cruises which would be about 3-5 days long? Organising all the travels when going on a cruise would be more difficult. Bad thing naturally is also that ships dont have casinos

European Capitals/Tapestry Cruise
June 8-20, 2005 - Departing from Civitavecchia/Rome aboard Holland America's ms Westerdam (Ports of call: departing Civitavecchia/Rome, Napoli, Sorrento, Capri, Pompeii Italy, Catania, Italy, Valletta, Malta, Cartagena, Spain, Ceuta, Spanish Morocco, Cadiz, Spain, Lisbon, Portugal, Vigo, Spain, Le Havre/Paris, France, arriving Copenhagen, Denmark)

[Irisheyes]

Great idea and I'd love to take part but I imagine finding the funds for a trip like that could be difficult.

Unless I put my whole 'roll in a 5/10 game... hmm...

You have lots of time, so take it easy


Also goatse tshirts are mandatory of course. Late july sounds good huh? Students are on holiday and the damn slaves who have jobs can take their vacation, excellent!

I forgot to mention that its a cardplayer cruise!

[sandstorm]

I'm in

[ake]

I forgot to mention that its a cardplayer cruise!

Got any more information about it? It looks fucking awesome

I'm going to a festival 9-11th june..but I guess I could miss it one year. Atleast I've got plenty of time to think about it

[Pingviini]

arkana, that sounds really incredible! The downsize is that there will only be poker playing guys and not that many chicks But I guess that beer, poker and buds combination is just better without any women

I have tickets for the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany for 25th of June and 8th of August. Now I could just go to Germany directly from the cruise. I am starting to like this cruise thing!

[ake]

Card Player Cruises' passengers usually make up 25-40% of the total number of passengers on the ship, so all of the regular shipboard activities are scheduled for your pleasure.

THIS LOOKS SO DAMN BAD ASS

[Pingviini]

Do you know if this thing will happen next year, too? I couldnt find any info for next years euro cruise This would be an incredible and expensive trip! Time to start grinding!!

[Pingviini]

okie, I found more info. It will take place earlier: 12 Day Ancient Wonders Cruise - May 14 – May 26, 2006 - Departing from Venice, Italy aboard Holland America's ms Rotterdam

Prices as low as $2269*

The 12 Day Ancient Wonders Cruise and the European Capitals/Tapestry Cruise are two different cruises. My suggestion is to get a list of names together as well as a budget amount and start an operation beginning next year to keep us motivated. The 12 day ancient wonders cruise is more expensive btw. Whoever makes the required amount of money the fastest can be team captain

Can anyone who has been on one of the cardplayer cruises give us some idea of how much spending money is needed, my guess is if the cruise is $2000 then we would probably need at least $4000.

[Pingviini]

Have you found any info about the capitals cruise 2006? I havent
If the trip cruise will cost about 1500€, we have to add like 500€ for 2 separate plane tickets, eating out two weeks, drinking, buying some shit in the cities we visit perhaps, plus if poker isnt going well we will eventually have an astronomical figure in the last row But still worth planning

[ake]

It will be expensive, but we have plenty of time. Drins for 8 days will cost more than the cruise and the plane tickets though

Add some drunk tilting at the tables to that and fees and shit..like when we have to bail pingviini out for knifing someone at the table..all finns do that

[arkana]

Yes, we do a different European Cruise each year, so the one you see is the only one we are doing. I hope it fits in with your schedule and that you are able to join us!

12 Day Ancient Wonders Cruise - May 14 – May 26, 2006 it is then

[Trikflow77]

i want in........i was thinking of going overseas this summer anyway..........

[Pingviini]

Sure you can come, just send the initial planning fee of $1k to "Pingviini" on Stars.

[Estrop]

Ahh.. Just so happens I'm getting married in spring/summer 2006. Oh well..

No but seriously, in spring/summer 2006 I'll be.. 12 years old! I don't think I'm be allowedent to be drinks.

No but seriously, do basements normally have doors? Where is out???

Oh ok, I'm going fishing with the President of England anyway.

That's good. Although it could be fun to drop you off in a ghetto somewhere. Like an experiment.

Could be hard to go fishing with the president of England!!!!!

Lets forget about poker and do this instead.

I'm all in.

[Robert]

This sounds like an awesome idea! I'm not sure though I have enough time to take on such a cruise. Besides such a trip is going to cost a fortune, which is also something to take into consideration. Though, if I'm going to make some serious cash on poker in the next half a year I'm in!

This is better for me, although im in school at that point, but who cares? As long as I don't have midterms I'm fine

[arkana]

I wish it was later since Im going on holiday for 6 weeks in Dec-Jan which doesn't leave me much time when I come back. Just makes it more of a challenge...

[ake]

I can help you, here's a solution

The night before the trip you have to do this:

1) Call your boss
2) Lie

[Miffed22001]

oh well you can put my big fat ass all in for this one although
1) I'll need to finmd the money
2) I better not graduate that week/be playing cricket for a country etc.

otherwise yeah baby yeah
(i want to take dman into a quiet corner and that beat him)

edit: with a stick.

Anyone else agree when I say: Let's start donating?

Other than poker here are suggestions for activities on the cruise

Too bad I live in a place as fun as a desert.

[ake]

Everywhere is fun with drugs... but dwarfman and estrop probably wont come to sweden

[Pingviini]

too bad they can't come

Where do you live sandstorm? I am up for a party/trip as long as I am not obligated otherwise..

[ake]

too bad they can't come

Where do you live sandstorm? I am up for a party/trip as long as I am not obligated otherwise..

He lives in timmernabben, also known as the end of the world

Estrop and dwarfman will come if the party is in london, but not in sweden

[Pingviini]

bump

How is the planning of the trip going ake?

[ake]

Cancelled? I Guess..

[Pingviini]

I am disappointed in you

[ake]

well, the ones that were interested (you, estrop, dwarfman, sandstorm) are hardly ever on irc. Tough planning something without some kind of connection.

But regardless, I don't really feel like doing it right now, maybe something small for us scandinavians at summertime.
I'm awful at planning stuff so maybe someone else should take care of it, you?

gee thanks...

here is my 2 cents:

Although the cruise would be fantastic, i just dont see it happening due to the price. How about we just rent a couple of hotel rooms close to a casino\card room for a (long) weekend and just play some cards during the day and do some drinking at night?

[ake]

Sorry about that ark, I thought you were a political prisoner in south africa nowadays, anyway, I don't really feel like going to England. But we'll see

[journey075]

this new motivated ake makes me laugh.

[ake]

Im not motivated, thats why someone else should handle this

[journey075]

yeah but you want to do something..

thats not like you.

[ake]

yeah but you wanted to do something then realized it's too much work and bailed

thats just like you.

FYP

[Eric]

I'd like to go but spring/summer 2006 is a bad time for me.

Hopefully I can catch the next one.

I miss you ake. My computer is on service, and I've been skiing and shit and I haven't bothered do download IRC yet on this borrowed computer. (L) I want to go. Let's have a gathering at Sweden Rock or something :P

[ake]

Yah that's cool, I'm going to both sweden and gates like always, so just come over to our camp and see if im concious
