I'm fine with whenever (well, not really, but it's hard to tell so far ahead), but I just want to point out that January and February are the coldest months of the year, and there's a fairly high chance of it being -10C to -20C in Oslo at the time. Any attendees would be well advised to bring warm clothes. You should also know that even though we are responsible people, we won't be following you around to ensure your safety should you separate from the group - this is no official event and we have no obligation to take care of you if you choose to attend. I would personally prefer it to be a little further into the new year, mainly due to temperature, but also because it'd be easier for me if TRD was 18 (if he attends, anyway). Also might note that Hard Rock Cafe probably has an 18+ thing going on later on the evening (I could probably find out by the time this event occurs), and I think that applies to most bars and pubs. I know a few smaller ones, but depending on the group's size, not all of those would be suitable. There's also the general lack of any hard liquor where they are loose with regulations, but again, that also applies to most 18+ places - not saying it's non-existent, but there's a high chance of what you wanting not being available. As this is no house party, bringing your own might not be a good idea, due to drinking in pubic being prohibited and the abundance of police upholding this in Oslo. Like always, there are exceptions, but don't count on it. As far as I know, there are no attendees from Oslo, so the sheer possibility to hold an "after party" and/or "pre party" is close to null. Unless any of you guys hook up with a rich, house-owning Hiver from Oslo.
