yeah, hotels in HH are a fucking pain in the ass... tell me about it :((
<sb0>
most of the quotes we got were minimum 3x our budget
<whitequark>
wow. so it's not just me being cheap
<sb0>
additionally there's some imbecilic street festival going on in HH on the same time as EHSM
<sb0>
which uses hotel space...
<whitequark>
they took something like 235eur from me, and it was literally the cheapest offer that didn't involve sharing a room with other people (eugh)
<sb0>
(the more imbecilic, the more popular)
<DocScrutinizer05>
ooh, expected to see "talk: whitequark" at http://ehsm.eu/#BorninUSSR. But it's 'only' about USSR junk
<whitequark>
DocScrutinizer05: nope I'm not having a talk this year
<whitequark>
maybe at the next I'll show off my DIY time of flight mass spectrometer
<whitequark>
... if I ever get that to work
* DocScrutinizer05
wonders if the whole thing is affordable
<whitequark>
yes
<DocScrutinizer05>
ticket, travel, *hotel*...
<whitequark>
oh, EHSM
<whitequark>
then I dunno
<whitequark>
:D
<DocScrutinizer05>
migth sum up to almost 4 figures expense
<whitequark>
that's how it went for me. but I suppose you don't need such a long flight
<DocScrutinizer05>
a flight would be cheap if I could get one, but I'm afraid I had to go by train
<DocScrutinizer05>
anyway, a 250EUR for travel seems a fair estimation
<DocScrutinizer05>
another 300 for hotel, according to what you just wrote
<DocScrutinizer05>
100EUR for ticket
<DocScrutinizer05>
possibly 100EUR for transport
<sb0>
DocScrutinizer05, we have low-income tickets for 45E
<DocScrutinizer05>
I'm no student ;-)
<sb0>
and for accommodation, you might get a couch for free asking on the public ML. though that's also a student-like thing to do *g*

believe me, nobody want to share a room with me ;-P
<DocScrutinizer05>
and I know people who will beat me for sharing room with another female
<DocScrutinizer05>
(assuming Alison is a girl's name)
<DocScrutinizer05>
I'll prolly not be able to join
