Mittens 2011 - UPDATE: aftermath

[m0ds]

Thanks dudes. It's a hard decision to make.

I appreciate the PM too, Cat. Using your logic, the best I suggest is this:

I only want to go to Mittens to show you guys the new movie. I don't plan to visit anywhere or anything, it's just the prospect of showing that on the big screen they have there to you guys. I have no intention of going to Dublin. I can get over the lone traveling thing.

Regarding your suggestion - I guess the best way to do it is this: If everyone attending the Mittens pad were to pay an extra $10-15 to Ken, I'd be able to attend with a copy of the movie in final draft stages. Naturally I don't expect anyone to do that - some have already put in plenty of $$ to the movie already, and I'm sure other peoples finances are tight too. I owe money to about a third of the community as it is anyway

What bugs me though - because the only real premiere it will get would be by going to Mittens this year, otherwise it'll just be a web event. But like I said I can't just expect people to put in money to cover that/me. But yeah, I guess really the small extra amount should be considered as - do you want a ben jordan movie premiere or not, more than, do you want to help Mods get there But then at least I'd be able to find the money to pay the rest. But money is money - a bitch.

It's a shame that it costs me more to get to Rosslare than it did to get to Italy. I had hoped certain things were going to pan out earlier this year, which would've helped me settle payments easily for this Mittens, but they never happened, and recently I've been wondering whether I want hot water or Mittens more.

Naturally I don't want the responsibility to fall on other peoples shoulders, which is why I've said I'll pull out. It's the easier option. So it's all about the movie, and a bit of love I suppose - cos I wouldn't be able to pay anyone back until I get rich   If not, it's fine, I totally understand. Why pay for other people? But as it was suggested, I thought I'd ask.

Mods, I can cover your Mittens house cost if you'd like. I'm swimming in money, dog!

Well, paddling more like. Actually, it barely reaches my ankles, but - shit, I can spare a extra â,¬100.

Regardless, the offer is there if you want it.

[m0ds]

Wow, that's very kind of you sir! Thanks! Consider me..um, considering your kind offer 

[Miez]

Yeah, Mark - I wouldn't mind picking up a portion of your costs either, man. It'd be cool to  have you there...

[m0ds]

That's very kind Lord van Artum. There's only so much guilt a man can take!!!

But yous guys generosity means a lot

I will be in touch..

PS. Thanks to you dudes, I guess this is an apt time to say - BRING YOUR SUPER QUIZ PRIZES! Help others in need like Berian Williams win a super duper inflatable glove or copy of Women's Weekly!

Fair deal, a cinema ticket would also cost 10-15$. And this is even premiere. I just hope I don't have to bring an evening gown... 

[Chrille]

Can't make it this year as I'm busy moving at the time. Hope you guys have alot of fun!

[Matt Frith]

I have booked my flight! I will be arriving at 11:05am to Dublin Terminal 1.  Now I can be excited and so forth...

[cat]

[Grundislav]

IT'S PEANUT BUTTER MITTENS TIME!

[Miez]

IT'S PEANUT BUTTER MITTENS TIME!

Mind = blown

[Disco]

IT'S PEANUT BUTTER MITTENS TIME!

Wow, now I'm even more excited. Sounds like we should make a piñata and fill it with peanut butter


Time for some logistics!

Among the Dublin entry (or residency) people, seven are arriving at Dublin airport between 10:05 and 11:05- Disco, Layabout, Grundislav, Snarky, Esseb, Cat, and Tier. Bicilotti arrives at nearly 13:00, so will miss the first train and will need the later 18:30 one. Abstauber will be bussing.

Once we all meet up, we will get a taxi to Connolly Rail Station. The fare estimate from the site Cat linked is between â,¬23.20 and â,¬31.00 for a group of 5-6. The average journey is 25 minutes.

We will meet up with Miez and LimpyFish (and perhaps monsieur_ouxx?) at the station. The midday train leaves at 13:30 and arrives in Rosslare Strand about 16:20. A return ticket is â,¬29.40 (web price, may be more at the office).


I'm waiting for an email about the actual location of the property, since the specific address I was given via email did not quite match the location on the website map. More logistics to come after the answer.

[m0ds]

Ken, I'm travelling to and from Rosslare harbour, I'll be arriving on the same ferry as CJ and the others, and departing for a 9am ferry on the 26th.

[Creed Malay]

Yay M0ds! We can tease seagulls from the deck of a ferry again.

An update from us: Me and Noa booked the RailSail from London that Disco talked about some pages ago, meaning we'll arrive in Rosslare at 18:00 (and from there, probably a cab?).

It was hard for me to follow with all that was going on in this thread, and all the inside jokes and whatnot (though I'll be sure to bring some peanut butter with me just in case), but is there anybody else on that RailSail?

And also, btw, off course we'd have no problems to chip in in order to see the grandiose bj2 premiere.
