Music and things

amazon.de have dispatched my order (incl. Apocalyptica), it could be here by the end of the week. This will be the last major expense for a while, I need to save my spare money for ICC. I don't want a hole in my account afterwards again.
I so need to win the lottery... ;o)

Unfortunately our internet policy at work doesn't allow me to listen to audio streams, so no Rant Radio for me *pout*.

Did a bit of shopping during lunch, namely the Live in New York DVD by Bruce Springsteen (for the Andy's Records vouchers I got for my bday), the first Naked Chef book for a fiver and a jumbo Houmous/Falafel bun and a choc fudge brownie at Nadia's for lunch.

Back to work now :o(

Whats the cost estimate for ICC if I may ask?

[karohemd.livejournal.com]

Judging by the last two years: a grand.
This will pay for flight, a room on your own and having breakfast and dinner at the hotel.
You can save a lot by sharing a room with others (the cost is per room not per person) and living on take-out burgers...
The main cost is the flight which will most likely be around 350-400 quid. Only AA go direct from London and stopovers are a bit of a pain. Sadly, neither BA nor Virgin do St Louis which is a shame.

Check the website (http://www.elysiumgrounds.com/ICC/) for all your ICC needs. It only has hotel info atm, though.

thanks... student loan: new computer or ICC?

*wrestles internally*... maybe ICC next year... I'd mainly go for the Mage game, and that would be a mistake.

I had two reasons for not doing the Mage game last year. First, it clashed with ling and secondly, it was the ICC Mage game...
