New shirt design...Jed rules

So heres the new shirt design, courtesy of jed...click for a closeup.

Guess who's coming to London?

You know the hardest thing for us right now is knowing who's coming. Do we need a 300 capacity venue for the 12 of us, or should we just take the 50 capacity venue and then have 150 people in the street? Should we look for a squat for the 4 people who don't have a place to stay, or just have them camp in my garden?

Some things have a definite limit. For example, theres only so many people who can fit on the track. Theres still space though, so if youre looking for the rare opportunity to ride around the Olympic Velodrome, let us know at trackday.

If youre looking for help with cheap / free places to stay, the helpful people at accomodation are waiting to find you a couch.

Not forgetting the most important of all. First call on all of the above goes to those who paid first. Right now we're paying for stuff ourselves because we love y'all but giving us those dollars in your bank account now means we can buy more beer instead of paying the Tshirt man. So Pay now.

If youre just planning on turning up and paying when you get here, or even if you get here, thats still cool. The nice registration people would appreciate it if you'd give us some warning so we know how much beer to buy, how many shirts to order, etc. I know it seems like having too much beer is cool, but just imagine not having enough.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, if youre coming to the Pre-event, now is a good time to get in touch..

Accomodation

Whichever way you look at it , London's a stupidly expensive city. Unless youre spending every night in the John Snow, with its sub £2 pints, youre gonna need a beer budget. And that means cheap accomodation. And we're here to help.

First up, Hostels. London has plenty. Youre looking at £15-20 per night in summer, maybe more for somewhere nicer. Ive got a great list from Caspar that Ill try and post later.

Need something cheaper? Try couchsurfing, aka sleeping on the floor of some other messengers. If youve already got a hookup, youre done. Congratulations on being popular and having friends. If you haven't, we're going to try and hook you up. First, drop us an email at accomodation@londonscalling07.org.uk , and we'll try and match you up. As usual, priority to those who paid already, but if youre too skint to have paypal, email and we'll try to sort something out. If enough of you want to come, we're working on a temporary squat, but for that to happen we need to know youre going to be here early enough to start looking for a place.
