newsletter october 2006 We have a place! We have a place! We have now confirmed our location. The place has got 113 double rooms in a nice 80’s atmosphere. Every room has a shower and toilet, a TV (so what?) and a hairdryer. And a trouser press. There’s an indoor pool, two saunas (facilitating naked Finns) and good conference facilities. The place is roughly a 45 min. drive from the centre of Copenhagen and 600 metres walk from the train station. There’s also a bar and a pool table. Read more here.
This also means that we have some of the most basic facts fixed:

Since the last newsletter we’ve gotten money from three beautiful benefactors, namely:
That’s great. Money cant buy you love, but it can buy you something damn close ... (namely a great place to hold the event, food, a book, transportation and who knows what else) As far as we know, Hyperion and SuoLi only funds member organisations, so we can’t ask for money. But maybe someone else can ask them for support for transport? How about a bus from Oslo? Or a Hummer from Helsinki? You can see a complete list of sponsors here. The Danish Connection LLR isn’t just giving us money to pay the bills. They’re also sending a bus from Aalborg to Copenhagen through all bigger cities, giving their members free transportation to the event. Great! That’s giving us more participants from all parts of Denmark! Ze German Connection Don’t know what to do in January 2007? From January 12 – 14 there’s Mittelpunkt in Oberwesel (Germany!) Check out www.larp-mittelpunkt.de! The program! Ladies and gentlemen – time has come for us to start compiling the Knudepunkt program. As you may remember, last year we promised a 50-point program – that’s dozens of lectures, workshops and debates. And that’s where you come in. So get in touch with us – see the call for program here Once more with feeling
There’s still a chance for you to be a published author. My place or yours? The second A Week in Denmark (enhanced edition!) will be held in the days up to Knudepunkt. We’ll be opening our arms to Brazilians, Swedes, Finns, Russians, Norwegians, Australians and whoever else will be coming. For a week, our guests will participate in a variety of larp-related events and drinking games in Copenhagen. But these fantastic people need a place to live. The best place is your place. If you’re interested in opening your home to some fantastic people, please contact Ryan. We’re looking so much forward to this thing!

EU money, rock on! We've gotten our first confirmed funding – from the EU. We've been given a grant of 5.000 euro for the project. Great!We've also written applications for a number of other organisations, including DUF, Nordisk Kulturfond, Sverok, Tuborg and Tryg. We're hoping! As always, your suggestions for funding are welcomed – send an email to Mikkel.
Once more with feeling You can still participate in the Knudepunkt book of 2007. You can read our call for papers here.If you want to help us out as a proofreader or an illustrator, check out the same webpage.
A Week in Denmark is coming along Our AWiD-group is getting settled on a program – and we'll soon be able to tell you something.If you're a dane and you want to be a host for some spectacular and lovable foreigners, you are most welcome to contact Ryan – as soon as possible.
Summer of love We've been traveling around the Nordic countries this summer, meeting old and new people. This weekend, Bjarke is coming to Trondheim – so if you have any questions, please ask.
We've throwing liquid nitrogen at eachother while writing this newsletter. Soon, Denmark will be as cold as Finland. With love, newsletter july 2006
Da Vinci Code of 2007 The book is coming along fine. We have developed a concept - and now we're looking forward to develop more ideas together with you. For now, we'd love if you would do two things: (1) Start thinking about whether you want to do an article - and on what (2) Start thinking about who else you would like to write an article. Expect the Call for Papers in the end of July. It wil be sent to this mailing list, when the three book editors come home from an inspiration journey to Tuscany. A Close Relationship The program is coming along fine as well. We have decided to use the same concept for the book and the program, in order to have a better relationship between the two. Also, we have started brainstorming on ideas for lectures, workshops, debates and experiments we would like to have on Knudepunkt. We will probably do a call for program in August. Until then, keep sending your ideas to Lene. Another Lene We're doing our best to cross every language barrier available. And one language is harder to understand than Finnish: That's Norwegian. Luckily, we've managed to hook up with Norwegian-born-but-Copenhagen-living Lene Borgen Bjørhei. She'll be a part of the organising committee and responsible for the decor of our location. And more. Material World We've sent off new funding requests to the nice people at two similar organisations: The Sverok and The EU. We hope, they'll both help us out! A Week in Denmark AWiD will be held in Copenhagen, and right now we are focusing on the logistic side of things. Tune in next month for more Knudepunkt-news!
