Will there be actual food and not just snacks at the venue?


If not, the infamous hot dog stand ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A6jarins_Beztu_Pylsur ) is literally 200 yards from the front door of Harpa.


I'm not sure what we're going to be doing with the place yet but there's been food at the venue every other year. We're also right downtown now so you can literally walk across the street and be in the CENTER OF EVERYTHING.

I had good experience with sixt.is for car rental in price last year and used them this year too.
Just be at least 20years old and have a EU driving licens, no additional cost/paper.
The blue lagoon is located in the middle of your trip to reyjkavik so i suggest doing it when you arrive if you have an rental car (note its expensive) or you can do it with the evecommunity cheaper.

Golden Route trip is in my geeky mind overrated, drove it with some random persons last year.
The roads are nice and trafficlight and no roundabouts makes it kinda similar to US.

FYI, tipping is not common in Iceland, they will not be offended if you do.
But don't mention the economy

Iceland climate is actually _not cold_, I traveled in only T-shirt last year and walked for over 1 hour in the city without dying.
But then again, I'm used to it.

I'l be traveling from norway to iceland 21.st and back 26th. if someone is traveling similar, send me a evemail:)

So, when can we expect to see a daily schedule for fanfest - ergo, when I should haul my hungover rear out of bed, manage to find some unstained/unsoiled/untorn clothes, and get down to Haarpa?

Schedules!?!? We don't need no stinkin' schedules!!!! lol

Actually, I wouldn't mind a schedule. As a first-timer at FanFest, I don't want to miss anything if I can help it.

Man, I can't believe it's only 17 days away. For a while there it was stuck on 'forever until FanFest' but now the days are going by quickly. I just hope time slows down again once I get to Iceland. lol

When I finally do make an impact on this universe, it will reverberate across the entirety of it, and no one will be able to truthfully claim they don't know me. - -

Until then, I'll just sit quietly over here, minding my own business...

Nice of CCP to sell tickets at one price to Eve Players and cheaper on a local icelandic page:

First off, if you're paying EUR for tickets instead I highly suggest running some incursions or scamming to pay with PLEX instead. Second, If you've ever been there before you'll find out there's a reason they sell tickets to party to locals.

Looking quickly at those prices, they're only available for thursday and saturday. The price combined (I'm just guessing at the saturday ticket not including the party) is 75 EUR. A full ticket is 95 EUR and includes all 3 days plus the party plus a goodie bag which previously included drink tickets. So what are you whining about? That CCP tries to recoup costs by letting locals in for 2 days to see what they're doing? That CCP sells party-only ticket to somehow tilt the gender balance from abysmal to tolerable?

All music festivals I have worked at have had some deal for the locals to get in cheaper to see bands in exchange for us filling their village of 5,000 with 30,000 drunk idiots so they'll let us come back next year. This is no different

Quick correction (possibly): While my Icelandic is limited to Swedish+guesswork I'm pretty sure the first option is a three day pass - i.e. all of fanfest. Doesn't seem to say anything about the loot we players get though which as you say include drink tickets etc. I don't think the locals get that, which evens it out somewhat.
I'm sure someone will analyse the contents of the bag, run the spreadsheets and rage endlessly on the market forum if when he's unhappy with the outcome. It's the EVE way. Lol

edit: unless I die horribly I'll be arriving at my hotel in exactly two weeks. SQUEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

Yeah it apparently looks like they rebate the 3-day pass for 60 EUR instead of 95. My comment about paying with PLEX still stands :)

I'd say Fly Safe this week, but if it feels like you're flying, when just a moment ago you were standing, grab something sturdy! Roll (and go easy on whatever it was you were drinking)

Is Spicy V-8 still recommended for de-hangovering? (It was when I was a medic awhile back)

As a medical professional did this work? This is an important question.

You haven't released details(ship types, allowed fittings etc.) about the PvP tournament yet, have you? We sign up for that during fanfest, right?

Yes, the numbers match for me at least so I don't think you'll have to worry.

The Payment ID they are referring to should appear in the confirmation E-mail like below:

Dear Player Name

Player , your CreditCard account was billed on: Tue, 24 Jan 2012 18:52:51 GMT, in the amount of 311.00 USD.
Payment ID: 01234567 (Please include with any correspondence.)
Description:
1 x Fanfest Early Bird ticket @ 100.00 USD = 100.00 USD
1 x Poker Tournament @ 41.00 USD = 41.00 USD
1 x Pub Crawl ticket @ 45.00 USD = 45.00 USD
1 x Golden Circle ticket @ 50.00 USD = 50.00 USD
1 x Blue Lagoon Hangover ticket @ 75.00 USD = 75.00 USD
TOTAL = 311.00 USD

...but in any case the numbers are the same as in the transaction history in Account Management.

Way too many concurrent events, darn it. They need to have a cloning station at Harpa so we (or at least our clones) can be at all of the round tables we want to.
