Servus,

About the trip to Blava I would need to know more about the schedule of the
event. My girlfriend and I are moving from our flat to a house in lower
austria and we have to transport all the stuff on the upcoming weekend. So
for me it depends when we leave from vienna and we plan to come back.

I think a meeting to discuss all the details would be great. For me
Känguruh and 7stern would be good meeting points. Manu, which day do you
suggest for the meeting?

cheers, Hubert
