mentalimplosion

ehh i forgot. what time are you supposed to arrive on sunday at?

Raphael

I think it's 2 o clock...

david

2 O' clock or later?

Or is it before 2?

Hugh Hefner

I'm pretty sure it's 12 or later. *Checks* Nope, from 2 O'Clock to 4 O'Clock.

Chowburger

Ack, wasn't it always from 12 - 4 before? 'Cause I plan to get there at around 12...
Oh bhuel.

Aoibheann

Tis 2-4, but they can hardly kill you for hanging around for a couple of hours!

Can't wait..I'll be there 'round 2ish, gotta get some stuff in Dublin first. *nods*

gigglingrat

Early as possible

Hugh Hefner

Yes, it used to be 12 on. I'll be there as soon as possible anyway.

Piste

I'll be there as early as possible so I don't end up on the campbed or in the room with the camp bed...:p

It wasn't me!

Anyone else going to be there around twelve to keep me company? I went early last year and they'll pretty much register you whenever you get there, don't worry about the times thing.

JenLorigan

Eenteresting... May wander up early.

Piste

Might as well do so meself.

I got there at around ten in 2003 and still got stuck with the camp bed. Stuff is just not fair.

PurpleFistMixer

I didn't even know they still did camp beds. o.O How unobservant of me.

Raphael

I'm hitting dublin at 11:20, then heading in with Bowler

mentalimplosion

between 1 and 2 for me, if i can get packed before then

Jim_Are_Great

I'll be there at 9 ay-em. Yep, you heard me. Stoopid lifts...

Although I will have Mastadon to keep me company.

lemon_sherbert

I'm supposed to arrive at 2, but what with festivals, and the ulster final, I should probably arrive sometime on wednesday

QueenOfTheQuad

Hey when Iarrived three weeks ago it was about 12 and there was noone about had to sit in cg03 twas boring until some RAs came in i think it was Grace and Bertie everyone else came about 2 or 3

Raphael

That's because your session sucks

QueenOfTheQuad

You would say that your named after a bloody turtle all the Ras are knackered and theyre not going to put in any effort into anything next session so there

Raphael

Well that's not a nice thing to say. Fact remains that I've done sessino 1 twice, and session 2 twice, and session 2 is better. QED.

Word. S2 rocks

Much as I hate to say it, he's right.Session 2 is the best session, no question.It's always oversubscribed.

I've only been to Session 1 but everyone, and I mean everyone, says Session 2 is better. There were only about 230 people at Session 1 and there's going to be about 350-400 (I think that's what they said) at Session 2, Session 2 obiviously has something that makes it better than Session 1.

Raphael

Ninjas. Seriously, we have ninjas.

Chowburger

But the poor ninjas don't have any nunchucks, since they're expressly forbidden *nod*

Ninjas? Yup, that would do it.

I sure hope there's not 350-400 people here! They'll put 4 people in a room again ffs.Who told you that?

Hugh Hefner

Yeah, we're better. The ninja, Long Duck Dong, is so terribly sad without his nunchucks.

Chowburger

I love having more than one room mate [strike]so long as I don't get the camp bed[/strike]!

One of the RA's, I can't remember which one. And I said I think, so I'm not 100% sure.

meeka

they've put 4 people in a room before?

LiamD

Yeah last year after the shower fire they had to revise the rooms and some ended up with 4, but that was with only 290 or so people there.

Raphael

Afaik they're not allowed to put 3 people in a room unless it's at the corner. Fire risk or something

carlowboy

I've been in a 3 bedded room before with someone in 2003 with someone who did philosophy last year in session 2, was not a great experience with said person

mentalimplosion

if you're in a three bed room, what do you do for floorspace? what if you need to do situps? what about the closet-it's tiny enough for one person. where do you put all your stuff???? oh god, i'm so afraid i'm going to get a threebed room...

carlowboy

It's basically whoever arrives first gets the good bed and wardrobe all to themselves

It wasn't me!

That's true alright. Happened to me in 2002. You won't sleep in the campbed. I'm 16, if I found someone in my room when I got there, I'd ask them to move, since they're sleeping in the campbed. Then I'd make them... Seriously, the camp beds are hell.

david

I thought they stopped putting three beds in rooms last year, breach of health and safety or something. Speaking of which, for our architecture class like 4yrs ago we did a site survey on res, and it breached regulations in everyway possible,

No upstairs fire escapes,
Corridors too narrow,
you cant fit wheelchairs in the doors,
Overcrowding in rooms,
No elevator,
No bathroom ventilation in some rooms,
The angle of the stairs was too steep.

Cant remember the rest.

Raphael

Um, they have wheelchair rooms. Some of the corner rooms on the ground floor are modified. THey're huge, it's great.

They can only have 3 beds in rooms that are right at the end of a corridoor, otherwise it's a fire risk

Dave: I was in a double room once, we switched beds every 3 nights. Twas only fair.

Oh yeah I want one of those wheelchair rooms. Theyre the shiznit! Im f ucked if i get a double room though with all the guitar gear and stuff.

Raphael

you could always leave it on someone else who has a single rooms room

What exactly do you mean by campbeds, i didn't see any last yr?,(my 1st yr)

david

Fold up really uncomfortable beds in the middle of the floor

Im gonna try to get a common room to lock drums and music gear in.

It wasn't me!

I'll be in early tomorrow, I'll try sort that out when I get there. The only thing you should keep in your room would be guitars and stuff. Amps and the kit can be locked in a common room.

modular

I'd better get a single room this year, have shared for the past two years. I've got a fairly hefty keyboard to bring, hopefully ye'll get that common room.

...No I didn't switch beds at all. I got there early, I got the bed. End of story!

Piste

I hope I get a room to meself with just one roomate....I didn't actually mind being on the cmpbed this year but It'd be good to have more space.
