He is actually pretty spot on regards fanfest and how to approach it and have a good time. And as usual his writing is great :)

Brutors are strong-willed and have a great sense of individuality. They are a swarthy people, a bit larger and burlier than the other Minmatar tribes. They favor physical prowess over anything else and can be frightening to face.

If you take "larger and burlier" as "fat and lazy", this could work great for some MMO-players. If you take it to mean trained and muscular, I doulbt many at any MMO's fanfest would like to cosplay types like them. :P
Or perhaps I'm just projecting now....  :-\

Do it.

FF is great fun.  Bring the missus and even she can have a good time - they lay on a program of activities for eve-wives and such. Spa's, riding, sightseeing etc. 

Take some time before ot after it to see the icelandic sites, glaciers, geysers and of course volcanos.

Id be more worried and good packages from the airlines etc.

My internship's 200E/month won't get me there, so maybe next time.

The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'

Hmm if the prices from last years (October) is about the same as this time it should be doable for me to go...

Since it is 24-26 does that mean it starts morning the 24th? Or should I plan for 23rd? :P (I'm not well travelled :P)
Ah well will see what the packages is... (and what kind of hotels they include)

Starts on the 24th yeah.  Always good to rock up a day or two in advance - meet up with folks and get wasted etc, see some of icelands attractions.

Saturday the 26th it finishes with a party, so if you do go home on the sunday 27th dont go too early as travel with a hangover is awful.

Probably only one flight not much choice unless I want to spend a day at Oslo or Copenhagen airports... (SAS crappy policy of not flying anywhere from Stockholm direct...)
