kareinaThe next North European Symposium for Archaeological Textiles takes place in Hallstatt, Austria from 21 to 24 May 2014. This is where the fun Salt Mine Tour I posted about in 2010 is located. The NESAT program says there will be an excursion to the "salt mine and cemetery", and I am willing to bet that tour will be quite different, and probably more fascinating (including textiles?), than the standard tourist tour.
The next Double Wars, Drachenwald's largest camping event (which has a full food plan and rooms in cabins available, so international visitors need bring only garb and things they want do play with on site) is scheduled for 23 May to 1 June 2014. This means that anyone flying over from the states could easily attend all of NESAT, then head over to southern Sweden, spend a full week at Double Wars (missing the first two days of the event, but quite probably worth it) and then fly home out of Copenhagen (closest airport to site) or Stockholm (still close enough to easily get to by train).
Of course, the really keen could do NESAT, then Double Wars, then, assuming that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lord_kjar's brother once again decides to take his huge motor home (that used to be a bus) down to DW (which he is thinking about), could do a luxury road trip to northern Sweden with us and visit me for a while...
Of course, this puts me in a quandary. Last time we did the bus to DW I didn't get to go along for the trip down, because I had to go to Cyprus for work, and I was really bummed about missing out on the road trip and first couple of days of the event. NESAT, on the other hand, is an adventure MUCH more to my tastes than the Cyprus trip, but damn it, the bus is such a nice way to do a road trip! Oh well, it is much too soon to be making such decisions. If my grant application isn't approved and I don't have funding and so am out of work I won't be able to afford NESAT anyway...
