ECMC Volunteers

Future Alumni ECMC 2009,

Thanks first of all to everyone who has already contacted me about wanting to help out at the ECMC, you guys rock!

Unfortunately, I am a bit unorganized and many of these mails lie buried under the avalanche of correspondence in my inbox since eindhoeven.

Finally however, we have found a wonderful and talented young woman, Nina Röttgers, who will be directly managing volunteers.

Many of you will know Nina already from previous championships, she is the fast and cute girl with the short blond hair that is not Astrid Narud.

So, if you plan on coming early especially, please contact Nina at: volunteer@ecmc2009.com and she will find something fun and useful for you to do!

All the best,
Bregan

get on yer bike

another extension of the 50 euro fee

Future Alumni of ECMC 2009,

It should come as no surprise that I would be back on the wire
to signal the end of the 50 euro pre-registration fee.

However,

A timid delegation from the Bleeding Hearts Bike Gang appeared
at the front gate to my mansion this morning bearing pathetic
handmade gifts and shamelessly pleading for an extension of the
50 euro fee.

The Bleeding Hearts, having had the foresight (no doubt earned from
experience) to remain OUTSIDE the gates, and thus rendering pointless the routine
exercise of releasing the hounds, were able - with no small help from a repellent
orphan girl (at least i think it was a girl) playing harmonica and accordian
simultaneously, and meagrely hopping on her one leg- to petition at length for my charity.

The intense pain and nausea brought on by this display - combined with the attendant aftereffects of the last nights’ depravity - required that the rabble leave not on the order of their going, but go at once.

Feigning munificence, I conceded to their demands and off they went, humming a peasant dirge, and evoking memories of happier days in the past where such displays preceded commands to discharge the contents of the water cannon.

Quietly swearing an oath of reprisal, I melted back into the shadows of the house, but not before I used a large stone to take advantage of the one-legged girl who had fallen behind the others; the hit and her fall produced a satisfying combination of sounds that caused one of my footmen, in his mirth, to lose composure and smile.

(the footman was summarily flogged and dismissed)

In other words “y’all”, the 50 euro entry has been extended one month until May 16.

After that, we will take your first born.

Regards,
Count Bregula vom Berlinstein

Camping news

We got the Tentstation reserved, and got the price down to 9 euro per person per night.
This is also the price if you decide to show up a couple of days earlier or want to stay longer and enjoy more of the city after the event.
The camping-bar serves coffee and a small breakfast and opens 8.30.

Check out location here: tentstation.de

Please let us know if you want to use this offer, so we are sure to have enough space reserved. For this you have until the 26th of april.

50 euro entry fee extended until April 16th

The Bleeding Hearts bike gang of Berlin, inventors of the 30 euro entry fee, have once again interfered with my plan to gouge, demoralize, abuse, and exploit the participants of this years’ big european event by extending the 50 euro entry fee until April 16th.

After April 16th, the price will go up to 60 euros, so get your money to us NOW if you dont want to pay 60 or the full price at the start, which could be 70 euros or more. (its still a good deal at 70 euros, btw)

So, if you are already registered and havent paid, or if you still need to register, DO SO! we are serious about this next deadline!

all for now, but expect to be hearing more and more from me in the upcoming weeks (yay!)
