SpilBar 14 + SpilPrisen 2013 - free bus to Copenhagen!



ROAD TRIP TIME!

The bus has broken down - the bustrip is cancelled. Sorry :(
Realistic rendition of what happened:


When I wanted to pick up the minibus, evil game-hating people cut the oil to the servo, making the bus impossible to control. (actually the car just broke down, everyone in Viborg loves games)

So, as a result, the planned roadtrip to SpilBar and SpilPrisen had to be cancelled. We're getting the bus fixed up though, so we'll be back with a vengeance for next SpilBar!




We're going back to Copenhagen, this time to visit SpilBar CPH, and join in on the festivities that is the new Danish Game Awards (Spilprisen)
Check out the description below.

The bus is powered by awesomeness, provided by The Animation Workshop, BERMUDA and Shareplay.

Travel plan:

Date: Thursday, April 18th
Departing Aalborg (by Platform4 HQ) - 10:00am
Departing Viborg (by parking lot just outside Open Workshop), 11:59am
Departing Aarhus (by Talentfabrikken, Filmbyen 19) - 01:05pm
Arriving Copenhagen, SpilBar - ~04:00pm
Departing Copenhagen: ~8:30pm (earlier or later, depending on what the people in the bus decides)

Sign up for the bustrip here! 
There's only room for 7 people in the bus, so seats are assigned on a first come first served basis.
