The last two times it was in the late August, so it should be around that date again.

Just in case it doesn't have to be Berlin, this place looks also pretty nice.

And it's a steal compared to Villa-Katharina 

Sweet, twice as much feedback as I expected in two days.

If it doesn't have to be Berlin, I'll keep on looking for some houses in all over Germany. But most ones I've found so far are just 150 m2, which might be a bit too small. What is you limit on the price per week and person? Villa-Cat costs 224 eur, is that too much?

@Disco: A trip to Berlin from Bad Freienwalde takes about 1:30h by train. If we go there by car I think we could make it in under 1 hour.
@ProgZ: Unfortunately the transatlantic passage costs about 3000 eur and takes 28 days. But hey, you're a freelancer, right? You could work during travel I'd pick you up from Hamburg.

@cat: Last year I saved some overtime for mittens. If you arrive on Saturday or Sunday you just need to save 5 days (38-40 hours). Come on, it's villa cat!

Btw. here are some more pics of the villa and the second structure (Kutscherhaus)

"Villa-Cat"
Yeah, it's pretty much landlocked, but also close to the polish border, so we can also visit Szczecin or the Baltic sea.
Anyway, the complete price for Villa-Cat would be 224 eur per person (4019 eur total, incl. towels, linen and tax), if we find 18 attendees. They list three categories, because they offer the villa and the two apartments in the cottage separately.


PS: hooray, du lügst..  63.. err.. cheers

[10.08. to 17.08]

Hey guys! I know this is ridiculously early to start planning Mittens again, but since the availability of big houses is somewhat limited in Berlin, you can't start planning early enough


This is the house for this year's mittens in Berlin:

http://www.homeaway.co.uk/p768088

Facts:
The date is: 10.08. to 17.08
The house is located in "Schoeneiche bei Berlin". The nearest Airport is Berlin Schoenefeld SXF.
Space is somewhat limited: the villa fits 18 persons. I could ask for some additional beds though.
The price: 209 eur, but we get a sauna, a pool and a jacuzzi


Is anyone interested to stay another night at a youth hostel directly in Berlin afterwards?

Update
How about 09.08.2013 to 16.08.2013 plus possible post mittens activity directly in Berlin (weekend at a youth hostel) ?

Is everyone happy with Villa Katharina?

* Villa Katharina: http://www.villakatharina.com/index.php?newlang=english
- Location: Gmaps Link!
- takes up to 18 persons (including carriage house),
- 220 eur each including tax, linen and towels. If you want to bring your own stuff, you might save a few bucks.
- already two cars for convenient park and ride - anyone else bring a car ? Tell us



* Old hunting lodge, approx 100km from Berlin
http://www.villakatharina.com/index.php?newlang=english
- takes up to 18 persons (including carriage house), but it's pricey and quite a ride to Berlin (but awesome if we shoot a movie there)

* Villa in the outskirts of Berlin

- Pretty close to what we had in Ireland, but I need to ask if they can put in more beds. Currently only up to 14 persons

* Apartment complex Floram�hle (we can rent the whole building)
http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=de&sl=del=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.floramuehle.de%2Fhome.php
- in the middle of Berlin, quite cheap and takes up to 17 persons. But neither pool nor jacuzzi

* Apartments (we might afford 2 levels)
http://www.berlin-lodge.de/ferienwohnungen/mitte/652/koepenick-1.php?lang=en&lang=de&lang=en
- 3 apartments in one building, up to 14 persons per apartment
- located directly in the city

@AGA: Isn't there a way to add an integrated gallery to the forums? This other site looks pretty dated and is a pain to navigate.
@ProgZ: Managing and uploading those was way more time consuming. It's a shame I didn't take any pictures of the Meyer-Session

Finally managed to upload my photos as well:
http://www.sonores.de/mittens/Mittens_2012_in_Anaheim.html

Btw. how about a "global" Mittens Gallery here on the forums? I think it would be very nice to have those Mittens pics at a place where everyone can find them. 

We've just arrived at Laguna Beach (yay, free Wifi), so I can finally leave a message here
Thanks for the great time, thanks for the hosting and super special thanks to Ken, Francisco and Dave for driving us all over LA.

Btw. yesterday we almost spend 12 hours in Disneyland, Zip-a-dee-doo-dah 

You're sure that this isn't a browser setting? In Firefox you can decide which language version of a website you prefer and I bet that this option is in IE as well.

I'd rather bring this up again, before everyone's on the way: Airport Shuttle So Ken or one of the 5pm arrivals is going to pick us up at SNA? That would be super cool

@ProgZ: Maybe the CyanogenMod project has a matching release for your device. The one they offer for my cellphone is just plain awesome (had Froyo before with no upgrades provided from Moto).

Oops, sorry guys - I should have read the fine manual. I just haven't expected the information to be on the website itself.

Great, so I can save a few pounds then I just was a bit worried that they'll demand a certain dresscode at Craig Ferguson's.

In the meantime I've been wondering about this: Besides towels, do we also need to bring bed linen?

No need for a torrent, you can legally download the windows 7 isos from here

Just a small question from the first time us traveller: Will trainers be sufficient or will there be occasions where I should bring leather/serious shoes?

That's how the page is rendered on my browser and there's no chance to add the bundle to the cart.


The highlighted summerbatch writing doesn't do anything.

Yeah, I just checked again with FF 14.0.1, there's simply no "Add to Cart" button.

But I successfully purchased it via the Screen7 store, thanks for the tip, Mark

Is it already over? At least I can add anything to the cart

Happy Birthday Khris!

@Calin: Ahh... it is revealed. All the hints (posts about lua plugins, pathfinding and whether to create a tile-engine) unite in this screeny
