  1. Die Anmeldungssoftware ist verdammt blöd gemacht. Man musste sich dopplet anmelden.

    1. Hallo Matthias,
      vielen Dank für die Anmeldung. “Approved” 😉
      Zweimal anmelden? Eigentlich genügt auch eine Anmeldung als “Gast” ohne Login. Die meisten kennen ihr Kennwort eh nicht (mehr).
      Wie auch immer, schön dass Du dabei bist.
      Einen guten Rutsch und ein zufriedenes Jahr 2019.
      Helge

  2. Hallo Helge, wenn man zu zweit kommt (was ja durchaus vorkommt… ), muss man die Anmeldung komplett 2x machen. Warum kann man im Drop-down nicht einfach 2 Tickets auswählen, mit Angabe eines zweiten Namens?
    Anyway, Euch allen ein Frohes Neues Jahr!
    Erhard

    1. Hallo Erhard,
      wir haben bewusst darauf verzichtet. Es erleichtert uns einige administrative Vorgänge.
      Auch ein frohes, neues Jahr 2019.
      Viele Grüße,
      Helge

  3. Liebes Orga Team, vielen Dank dafür, dass wir gemeinsam mit Euch an der längsten Theke der Welt feiern dürfen. Freu mich schon!

    1. Liebe Andrea,

      vielen Dank, wir freuen uns auch schon. Wird ein tolles Treffen werden.

      Viele Grüße,
      Helge

  4. Liebes Orga-Team, Gratulation zu Eurem Winterball, den ich als Ort meines Wiederauftauchens gewählt habe!
    Freue mich schon riesig auf diverse Wiedersehen – Andrea, Erhard und Matthias inklusive!
    Beste Grüße, Oliver samt Eva
