So am I!
But there have been some slight implications due to me managing to get some 
work experience in August and September. This was decided of quite short 
notice. Wouldn't change muuuch to the current plan, except maybe to have it 
one - or two? - days later. And, if you're all comfortable with that, we 
could also have it in Berlin instead of Bonn!

Let me explain...

I'd be in Berlin around that time anyway, my work experience will (most 
likely) start on Monday, 5th August. So if you'd all come up there at say 
the 29th July we'd have about a week there. We could all stay at our 
friend's house there, they have a large flat and there'll be enough room 
for all of us. Plus, I gather that James will be in Berlin anyway (is that 
right, James?). This is just another wack idea of mine, but it would 
simplify things for me, and if I interpret James's plans right then also 
for him. I guess for Kai Berlin or Bonn wouldn't make that much of a 
difference, neither would it for Nils...? So that's just poor Alex who'd 
have to travel a few km's more...

Just wanted to hear your opinions on this. If you're not really in favour 
of it, then that's Ok, and we could meet up in Bonn after all (Just a 
little more travelling for me). Also it's still not a hundred percent sure 
wether it's all gonna work. But since I don't want to shock you last 
minute, I thought I'd warn you beforehand.

So: Bonn or Berlin? Old or new capitol? Small or big town?

If you all decide for the former then this is a confirmation on the place 
(Bonn), I'd just want to move the date a little then (29th/30th) -> James??


Sorry I'm always coming up with new plans...  :)

C ya Ben

P.S.: Anywayz, we can a have a chat on Sunday at the IRC meet about this. 
I'll probably have some news by then and can tell you some more details.
