they're pretty far apart. at the very least an underground ride + a walk. Dunno anything about housing near each, but anything near an underground could work - some rides longer than others obv.

It's not too hard to have a half hour underground ride tho.

There no more than 20 minutes walk away from each other. I have no idea how much you guys would be willing to spend, but London propery is very, very expensive these days and that includes short lets. Central London is particularly bad. I suggest areas on the fringe of the centre like Earls Court.

are there going to be places to rent around here? any suggestions on where to look? Are we going to get ripped off on the internet, or is it all just gonna be [censored] expensive?

this month's Bluff has a little bit of info. on London hotels if that's the last resort. I'll post it if needed.

the casino in barcelona isn't too picky about the dress code just don't look like a total slob. what they are picky about is identification to get into the casino, if you aren't from spain they will not accept anything other than a passport.

gl to all u guys in these events!! school will not permit me to have any fun.

I e-mailed about the EPT/WCP hotel thing earlier today, waiting for a reply still.

if we're gonna have 4+ people living there with money, and people comign in and out, we should really get a good place in a nice, safe area (as well as a semi-convenient location in the city)

Hello Jeff,

I'm afraid that we cannot split the packages. It's possible that we'll be
able to closer to the start of the tournament, but it depends on how our
allocation is looking at the time.

You can buy in directly with the EPT themselves though, without the need
for buying the package through us. You can find details on their site:

I hope this helps, but if you have further queries, please do not hesitate
to let us know.

Best regards,

Andrew
PokerStars

This option is pretty lame, since you can't use W$ dealing with EPT directly.

I'll be playing Barcelona, WSOP E, and EPT London

I'm very interested in the house idea.

and if anyone wants to room with me in Barcelona.

We (PokerStars) are getting close to our allocation of seats/hotel rooms, so if anyone wants to buyin directly through us and hasn't please do so soon ([email protected])

Let's get the ball rolling on this.

Let's get a list of who is in for sure and areas that we would like a place in and start looking. It might be best not to post potential candidates in this thread, but rather pm them to someone for security reasons. I guess you can send em to me for now.
