We should probably compile a list of potential stuff to do after booking.

Reykjavik is 44 minutes away by car so perfectly doable for excursion(s). I'm not actually sure what there is to do or see there though, other than http://phallus.is/en/ of course.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kr%C3%BDsuv%C3%ADk is a hikeable volcano in driving distance!

That place looks good to me. I'm ok with booking now.

The second has wifi, but the first has tiny horses!

Dates work for me to

I'm interested. July works for me, and I've always wanted to visit Iceland!

My photos at last - Lightroom was giving me a bit of trouble - but better late than never: http://esseb.com/photographs/mittens_sweden_2/

Just got back to my apartment. On my way downtown now to show Berian and Tamara around Oslo.

It was nice seeing everyone, old and new. Small Mittens this year but every bit as fun. Photo gallery will come when I've had time to delete 90% of the images.

When unpacking I realised we still had two unplayed board games. I'll save them for next time.

I'm calling PETA on you.

Andail: When/if I get to Edet bus station on my own, how exactly do I get to the cabin? Can you link to Google maps with geocordinates?

I'll be bringing a few boardgames, plus a couple that could be played sans any boards/pieces as long as we have some paper/imagination. My games are more of the party game-ish variety though since classic style board games are a bit unwieldy to travel with. Concept (from Mittens 2015 fame), Codenames, Love Letter, A Fake Artist Goes to New York, etc.

One solution to this I thought about back when I still thought I'd ever make a game was to have the character "remember" the item in question, and show it in the inventory in a thought bubble or similar. If you try to use a "thought bubble" key on a door the character will say something like "hm, I wonder if  that key would work here" and then a short cut scene in an overlay window would show her picking up the key back in her brother's apartment or something.

Might feel a bit artificial though, the current method of picking up everything that isn't nailed down is effectively the same solution just presented more directly. I basically pretend the thought bubble solution is in place while playing Monkey Island 2 instead of assuming Guybrush is really carrying a monkey around in his pocket for half the game.

So basically it's a non-issue. Just don't make the main character put a ladder in her pocket and you're fine.

We can have a Mittens parade!

I won't be going as far south as Gothenburg. I'll go from Oslo to Uddevalla and then a bus from there.

I'm just a short busride/train ride away, so I'll be there.

I haven't booked any flights since I'm just a short train ride away.

I'll sort out my vacation tomorrow, I might show up, it's only a (somewhat long) bus ride away.

I expect the 2003 Mittens game that was rumoured to be in development will be finished this year.

Better late than never, here are my photos: http://esseb.com/photographs/mittens_lagniappe/

Concept and Love Letter from me.

I kind, kind of don't, want to see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphine_LaLaurie

Works for me, yeah.
