Is it ok to take pictures, except of course of items or people who don't want to participate?

Only pictures allowed in the room are taken by Wouter.....that's 'the price of admission' if you will.
Warhammer 40000 is- basically- Lord Of The Rings on a cocktail of every drug known to man and genuine lunar dust, stuck in a blender with Alien, Mechwarrior, Dune, Starship Troopers, Fahrenheit 451 and Star Wars, bathed in blood, turned up to eleventy billion, set on fire, and catapulted off into space screaming "WAAAGH!" and waving a chainsaw sword- without the happy ending.

Fair enough. Hope to get a few outside the meeting then.

We're fully booked but there are still a few spots available on the reserves list - typically these will get access as well due to cancellations - so still a chance ( no guarantee ) to join the meet.

Flights and hotels booked- see you all at the bar on Friday....

Also- Mrs Demoncase has established a clear museum itinerary for the Saturday (with me) and Sunday (while "I'm playing clicky-clack with the knives" as she puts it) :D

I know it is not supposed to be a "swap meet" or anything similar, and i wouldn't let it infringe on the meet itself, but i'd just like to offer help hauling a couple of blades or what have you from Sweden if any of you participants want, like a Mora, JaniSong or something.
EDIT: If this post is out of line or inappropriate i am sorry and you may remove it.

Maybe a separate thread to organize 'fringe activities' that are happening outside the hours of the meet itself?

(PS: That's a very kind offer!)

Please be aware that the lunch break and happy-hour are in the regular hotel bar & restaurant where it is not appropriate to show or trade knives (or any goods).

Reminder from the invitation:

Please note, that due to the nature of this exclusive event we do not allow selling, trading, and swapping of articles of any kind during the event and there will be no access to uninvited visitors.

Yes i am aware of that, and i wouldn't dream of making a hash of the event itself, or the immediate surroundings. Let's drop it and if someone read this already PM me for arrangements on neutral ground, maybe saturday or early monday.
Again, i really do respect, and will abide every rule and wish. This event is too big to me to make myself persona non grata, believe me :)

Same here. Apart from the unveiling of new knives and prototypes, It's great to see all the fellow knifeknuts in person again. Annual proof that I'm not the only one with this particular hobby. ;)

Probably about time we all started getting excited for this, no?

....Especially as Mrs Demoncase is already packing and has a plan of museum visits outlined of near military precision- indeed, so detailed that it would shame Julius Caesar. :D

The one museum thing I'd want to see here right now would be this: http://www.stedelijk.nl/en/exhibitions/ ... ra-in-love
(haven't seen it yet myself, was at the stedelijk museum about a week before it opened but will go back soon. love his work)

Apart from that, don't walk onto the bicyclepaths, my knee,leg and elbow are still healing from the stupid tourists that knocked me off my bike last saturday. ;)
