Party!
Everyone invited. Yes, that does mean YOU.
Your details are
July 10th - 17th.
All week. Stay as long or as short as you like. If you cannot make the start, or the end, do not fret.
I live in the town of Leksand, but your nearest airport is going to be in Mora. They both border Lake Siljan.
Unfortunately, as you can see, Mora is at the top of Lake Siljan and Leksand, at the bottom. Let me know when you are coming and I can arrange a nice pleasant boat ride for you. If you wish to rent a car, you can do that too, however I would rent that car right now to avoid disappointment. Uh, for the record: you drive a car on the right side in Sweden, there are no tolls.
Dinner will be provided every single day - I have to have an excuse to use my 10-foot grill - but breakfast and lunch is up to you. I have about three refridgerators in the house that will be stocked, so go nuts. If you want to go into town to have something you can do that too. It would be nice if you could pitch in money for alcohol/food but is not necessary because Brett Hull is paying for it all!
As for drinking, the age is 18 to embibe or 20 if buying it from a store. The alcohol store - Systembolaget - is NOT open past 6pm so if we are running out someone needs to tell me or no beer until 9:30am.
Even though it is summer we very rarely get extremely hot or humid, but bring shorts and the like, it IS summer. And bathing suit, my God do not forget that.
Also keep in mind it is the land of the midnight sun, the sun sets at 3am and comes up at 7pm - 20 hours of sunlight. It might actually be up to 22 during this particular time in July. So be prepared, especially if that is going to freak you out.
In addition I have very limited bed space. I have my room, I have a guest room, I have a large basement and some couches. But I have a huge, huge backyard with tents! If you are not keen to the idea of camping out you should stake your bed early, or fight for it. If you are fighting for it tell me so we can get some gambling going, okay?
Some miscellanous you might want to know:
Currency - we use kronas. It is about 8.25 to one USD. No clue of the Canadian exchange rate I am afraid.
Everyone in the whole damn country speaks English so you do not have to murder the language in restaurants.
You need a passport. Pretty obvious, but anyway. Do not need a visa unless you are planning on sticking around.
Uh, we have different outlets if you are planning on plugging things in, but I DO have adaptors.
And, pictures of the place:
My backyard. The picnic table is long gone. As you can see it is ideal for tents.
The actual cabin, overlooking Lake Siljan.
My deck. Yes you CAN swim in the lake, you CAN fish, you CAN boat, no you canNOT borrow my boat unless I am on it.
Game room. I have a lot more in it now, actually. Air hockey and there is a few consoles and the like. Please do not break anything or I will have to kill you.
The hot tub. It is right near the lake but away from the house, so if that scene is getting too rowdy, you can go there.
Come for sex, come for alcohol, come for gambling, come for bragging about your team, come for whatever the hell you want. EVERYONE is invited. I do not think there is going to be a female in the place, though, if that is your thing, and leave the families at home if you please. Any questions? Just contact me. Oh yes, and RSVP either by comment or contact, I will put the guest list up soon...

[OOC matters: so, I was thinking how this thing was going to go down: chat room, I thought? But hell, it's seven days long, and chat rooms are a pain in my ass - if you use Trillian, you KNOW what I'm talking about. Also, the party isn't centralized, there can be guests milling from the lake to the upstairs game room, so it doesn't make sense anyway. So I'm leaving it up to YOU guys. When you RSVP, please leave an AIM name if you've got one. I'll post the guest list with said AIM names, and during the party time, if you see another party guest online, contact them if you'd like. Make sense? If you want more than one person together, make the chat room yourself *G* Any questions, again, just IM me.]
