Don't worry. I'm happy you did actually react ;)

That was what i thought. I'm fine with the standard as long as I don't
have to sleep on the floor and the bathroom isn't in the yard. ;-)
If you're not quite well, I might overtake this. Just let me know what
you get from the organizing team along with the usual cost level. And
by the way, is it correct that the ev will overtake the cost of
accomodation and/or journey that isn't covered by the organization of
the event?

That's fine. I got an email by Jos (that I'll forward to the list
after finishing this mail) who explained the booth box thing to me
already. But I'm happy I don't have to carry it around on the train...

Maybe someone has an idea there. What does BIG exactly mean?
