Hostels :

In Eindhoven ( near Best ) , you can then take the bus from Eindhoven station to Best.

Camp Sites.

There are a few nearby in Oirschot ( 10-20 kms ) , but you would need some way to transport yourself from the camp site to the place to be since I have no experience using public transport from those sites.

Here is a 3 star Hotel which is close to my place, costs about 55 euros per night per room. Very decent price for what you get offered.

That's lovely!

MrInterface, I demand your wife to be there and review all the Keyboards we bring! The best Keyboard should get a special price, like a sticker saying: MsInterface approved - #1 Keyboard of 2012

damn would love to be going to this, but am probably near 1000miles away and not in a great deal of cash atm, maybe next year; might tour up on the motorbike, keyboards strapped to the back. would probably be the youngest attending id warrant.

Sheldon: Clarify something for me. Isn’t the point of a communal meal the exchange of ideas and opinions? An opportunity to consider important issues of the day?
Leonard: It is. You just kind of put a damper on things when you said, the next person I see talking with food in their mouth will be put to death.
I'd be there but am currently on a Watch List.
