Dear friends,
As you’ve seen we’ve had the first Eurocade/Retro Game Experience 2014 meeting and we and Sound & Vision have already been planning a lot of new and exiting stuff for 2014.
First of all, I would like to share what we see as probably the biggest and most important improvement for the „old-time” Eurocade attendents.
On saturday evening there will be a VIP party where we will try to replicate the „old” Eurocade feel as much as possible.
We felt that despite the huge success of the 2013 edition, this was an essential part that was missing. We already wanted it to be like that then but it was simply not possible at that moment.
Following the great number of visitors, we got a bit more room to arrange things with Sound & Vision and thus this VIP night will be happening this year !
This means that after normal closing hours, all general public will be (kindly) removed from the building and only the VIP visitors will be allowed to stay and play the games !
We will be organizing food, like in the old Eurocade style (but no shabby Chinese this time
).
There will be a bar with seats installed near the „arcade room” so that we can get that feeling of the bar-room like at the „old” Eurocades
Those who will bring at least one cab to Eurocade/RGE 2014 will of course be on the VIP list !
The food and a couple of drinks will be free for those kind people, who are the backbone of the event !
Further, other people who will contribute to the event in an important way will be welcome at the VIP party too of course, this is by the organizations decision only.
The VIP party ends at 0.00 hrs. after that there is still the cozy bar in the Hotel
For the old-time Eurocade visitors who _really_ cannot bring a cab this year there is the possibility to get on the VIP list too.
Dinner and drinks will be at a fair charge for those people though, or they can arrange their own dinner if they want, but they can still get in for the VIP night.
Those who attended previous Eurocades will have priority for this !
The VIP list _is_ limited, so be sure to let me know if you plan on coming and what cabs you will bring with you
>>>>> NOTICE…… THE VIP LIST WILL CLOSE 3 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE EVENT.
>>>>> THAT IS FRIDAY 22 AUGUST
So we MUST have your response BEFORE that date. This is so we can arrange everything perfectly, we _really_ do not want to be in a similar situation like last year regarding the saturday dinner, we hope you understand Hotel:
We struck a deal again with the Hotel which is very close to Sound & Vision. We have 19 rooms reserved for you guys on the nights of 12,13 and 14 september. There are also 5 apartments in the neighborhood of the Hotel available.
The price has rissen a bit though, but is still quite fair for the quality offered. Per room the price is €77,50 so €38,50 per person per night. This includes free parking, a nice breakfast and free WiFi.
Hotel info will be updated soon on
www.eurocade.eu but here is the Hotel’s website:
http://www.tulipinnhilversum.nl/enYou can contact them yourselves to reserve a room. BE SURE TO MENTION EUROCADE TO GET THIS PRICE !!!
We got a LOT of great new things in the planning, we are sure that it will be an even more exiting experience than 2013, more details about that will follow in the coming updates.
Now……please send me a PM if you are planning on coming and bringing one (or more ) cabs and on what dates you will be there. Please mention what cab(s) you will bring too.Naturally, like last year, those who bring one or more cabs also get FREE entry for that day.
Cheers, André
