+Getting to the sprint
+=====================
+
+The sprint will be in the home of Laura Creighton and Jacob Hallén on
+Götabergsgatan 22.
+
+If you arrive by regular air travel, you will arrive at Landvetter
+Airport. Take the airport bus to Park Avenue Hotel. Walk 1 block North
+and 3 blocks East.
+
+If you arrive by boat, take a tram to Vasaplatsen, walk 1 block
+East, 1 block South or to Valand and walk 3 blocks West, 1 block South.
+
+If you arrive by train, either take a tram to Vasaplatsen or to Valand.
+Follow instructions above. It is also possible to walk. The walk takes
+15-20 minutes.
+
+If you arrive by airborn cattletransport, take the airport shuttle
+to the Central Station. Follow instructions above. 
+ 
+For instructions on how to use the public transit system, and for other
+local information, plase see http://www.europython.org.
+
+Events
+======
+
+Concert
+-------
+
+Our house is 3 blocks away from the Concert House. Both the house and
+the symphony orchestra are world class. They will perform Bethovens
+violin concerto with Maxim Vengerov on violin and Rachmaninovs
+Symphony No. 2.  There is one performance on Wednesday at 19.30, for
+which Laura and Jacob already have tickets. Only returns left for that
+concert. It plays again Friday at 18.00. If more people want to go,
+Laura and Jacob will try to exchange their tickets and go Friday
+instead. Normal ticket price is SEK 350. You can take a chance on
+getting last minute tickets at SEK 100.
+
+Museum visit
+------------
+
+The Art Museum, which is next to the concert house, has a nice special
+exhibition of Marie and PS. Krøyer. It also has a lovely regular
+collection of mainly Scandinavian art. I suggest a visit on Wednesday
+when the museum is open until 21.00.
+
+Eating out
+----------
+
+For those who are interested in a gourmet experience, we would like to
+suggest a dinner at a restaurant called Popcorn. Despite its name, it
+does really good food at prices that are quite reasonable. For
+non-vegetarians we recommend their game menu and for vegetarians the
+vegetarian menu. The first set menu costs SEK 475. Matching wines with
+each dish at SEK 325. The vegetarian menu is SEK 225. Wines at SEK 190.
+If there are many people who want to go, doing this mid-week is easier
+to arrange than during the weekend.
+
+Food
+====
+
+The plan is to do quite a bit of food in the house. However, we expect
+all who participate in the eating to also participate in preparations
+and clean-up.
+
+If you want to prepare your own stuff, you are welcome to use the
+kitchen. Just make sure you leave it in good condition.
+
+There will be lists for food. You have to sign up at the latest the
+night before to be sure you get fed on a certain day. Everything will
+be approximately at cost and we will ask you for money before you
+leave. While it may be a bit more expensive at home, it will be
+nowhere near restaurant prices.
+
+Breakfast
+---------
+
+Muesli
+Yougurt
+Milk
+Bread
+Butter
+Cheese
+Ham
+Cucumber
+Tomatoes
+Tea
+Coffee
+Makings for hot chocolate
+
+If there are people craving things like egg&bacon or porridge, that
+can be arranged too.
+
+Lunch
+-----
+
+Sandwich makings and on some days a soup. If you crave a hot lunch,
+there are many lunch places in the vicinity (open Monday-Friday generally).
+
+Dinner
+------
+
+We plan to have hot dinners in the house on most nights. Exactly what
+food we will serve is not planned yet. Sometimes vegetarian alternatives
+will not be a problem, sometimes we will need help in coming up with
+a suitable solution. Some ideas for food are:
+
+- Pasta and pasta sauce (vegetarian pasta sauce as alternative)
+
+- Chicken breasts in Parma ham
+
+- Yellow pea soup, arrak punch and waffles (vegetarian soup as alternative)
+
+- Beef curry stew with rice and condiments
+
+- Christmas ham with cream boiled green cabbage and red cabbage
+
+- Beetroot soup (vegetarian)
+
+- Beetroot pie (vegetarian)
+
+- Jansons frestelse (Potato/onion gratin with pickled Baltic herring)
+
+- Lamb burgers with couscous
+
+- Potato and lamb stew with parsley
+
+- Lamb/cabbage stew
+
+- Fishballs
+
+- Cow tounge
+
+- Boeuf Bourgignon
+
+- Coq au vin
+
+- Smoked pork with red cabbage in mustard cream
+
+- Cabbage/mince meat pudding
+
+We will cost food and drink separately for dinner.
