Hey, back in November I said I'd cover WHY Camp "tomorrow"

yeah that didn't happen.

Anyway. Here is a new thread for my coverage of WHY Camp!

Early morning, 8AM. Ready to head to London for the Eurostar and a long month away from home.
Arrival at the Eurostar terminal, who are these nerds??
Vegetarian Eurostar lunch, including quiche, lemonade and a chocolate mousse.
Arrival in Amsterdam, and now to change trains to head to camp.
fellow hackers spotted from the train station. now it is time to get a shuttle to the camp site.
Arrival! Freja had already settled in, we would be sharing a tent together again. Freja also brought with the haj vis friend to mark where our tent was.
checking out the welcome pack, with some nice little goodies.
The furry village brought with the sign they also used at CCCamp
Quite a selection of food trucks available, although due to limited budget I didn't end up having too much from them.
Checking out the arcade, there was a variety of Japanese import games available to play. Unfortunately the densha de go cabinet wasn't functioning at all during camp which was a shame. Other games included Groove Coaster, Panic Park, Pop'n, LoveLive
Some more pics from the arcade. Was good to see Wacca again. Also Taiko and Bishi Bashi
There was also 4 gamecubes set up, perfect for some multiplayer action.
Round the corner from the arcade was the sauna. I didn't end up using it this time as it was a little inconvenient to get to from where we were camping.
Can't have camp without world 'o techno. Just not the same!
Angel introduction talks, getting ready to do some volunteer work across the camp site.
Fab Lab. This was actually one of the locations I checked out at MCH but was a little too late to see anything going on. This time I was a little too early to catch what was going on, but I will return to this later on with Molive.
Also Fab Lab was on a boat. I forgot to mention that.
Fab Lab wasn't actually located on the camp site itself, you had to leave and follow a very long path to get to it.

Anderstorp was back again, with the very explicitly stated no accordian policy.

"Anderstorpsfestivalen tar aktivt avstånd mot dragspel och driver ett aktivt arbete mot dragspelsmusik i samhället. Dragspel har förstört många familjer och liv och det är därför vi stolt står mottot: "Våga vägra dragspel". Festivalen är en dragspelsfri festival."

A closer look at some of the stickers on world o' techno, so many different camps it has travelled to now!
I did some volunteering at C3WOC, cooking waffles for hungry campers.
some kind of art installation over by GratisShoarma village, at night it would look like fire torches.
And so began the first fog war of many to come. At first we thought it was just the weather at night but then after having a walk around we uncovered multiple villages abusing their smoke machines.
Much like MCH, there was a fully stocked grocery store in a tent. I wish all camping events had something like this because its so convenient!
