J'y vais!

Je préviens: j'ouvrirais un pool de fou et j'irais pas jour 2.

Classique.

Tu pourrais dans ce cas me laisser ton slot paske sinon ça va me saouler grave, là...

J'y serais. Je ne sais par contre pas encore comment j'y vais ni où je dors, mais il est possible que je remonte un trajet et/ou logement groupé si c'est la solution la plus économique.

I'm in.

Gigot

Moi aussi.

cool on sera une petit délèg' de bxlois

Vous accepteriez un Namurois d'origine Bruxelloise dans le groupe ?

Je tenterais bien l'aventure (même si j'suis une méga quiche en deckbuilding)...

Si y a un moyen d'y aller en groupe, j'en serai peut-être

(250 bornes en tuture)

Oh ça me dirait bien, je pense qu'il y a moyen de motiver quelques Liégeois dans l'affaire (200kms, c'est pas la mort).

Vous dormiriez sur place ?

pq pas

Un GP sans dormir sur place, ce n'est pas vraiment un GP :p.
Généralement il y a des bons plans hotels dispo sur le site officiel. Sinon si tu es fan de te taper 2h de route pour arriver pour le J2 à 8h du mat, tu peux :p.

Y a des artistes qui viendront ?

Une idée du prix d'un "tout compris" : voyage+hotel+gp ?

AlexD a dit qu'il y allait

J'y vais peut être aussi.
Et je sais dessiner un cheval sur paint.

Pas d'Outpost Bus de prévu cette fois-ci?

Nan mais bon, j'ai envie de faire signer des cartes

On a annoncé Dan Frazier, non?

ou pas tout dépend de l'organisation et de ce que tu compte faire mais tu peux même t'en tiré pour moins de 100 euro

J'en serais sûrement pour ce prix là !
J'attends une formule toute préparée "à la MoTo".
