[dj AcidGreen/Aci...]

ich will, ich will, ich will

aber ich wills gratis haben *hehe*

(IMG:http://www.technoboard.at/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[fakeschlange]

wird für mich wohl auch nächstes jahr nur ein traum werden (IMG:http://www.technoboard.at/style_emoticons/default/sleepy.gif)

wobei ich acidgreen's vorschlag gut finde, gratis-tickets für österreicher könnte man doch sicher als entwicklungshilfe deklarieren!

[irina derevko]

hmm-
einerseits würd ich schon gern wieder hin..
andererseits war das heuer eine ochsentour!
so einen anstrengenden partymarathon muss man ja auch mal durchstehen (IMG:http://www.technoboard.at/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
wir waren jeden tag unterwegs bis zum umfallen-
is aber klar, es wäre auch ein skandal dort was auszulassen..
am besten man könnt sich klonen und jeden tag auf 3 partys gleichzeitig gehen,
und selbst dann versäumst noch was..

ja und dann nochmal eine woche reinen entspanungsurlaub dranhängen,
versteht sich.. (IMG:http://www.technoboard.at/style_emoticons/default/music.gif)

[Zulu (retired)]

sind die guten parties immer ausverkauft dort?

ich überlege mir hinzufliegen da ich gratis übernachtsungsmöglichkeit hätte. Ohne dem wärs viel zu teuer.

[DJ Velasquez]

wollt schon sagen.... am besten gleich auch einen banküberfall mit einplanen... denn die preise sind sehr sehr mächtig dort! mal abgesehen von flug und hotel und eventuell mietauto, ansonsten taxi, kommen da noch mächtigere eintrittspreise und getränkepreise alla ibiza dazu...

obwohl letztes jahr unser flug und das hotel von meinem partner in den usa bezahlt war und wir auf einigen gästelisten gestanden sind, haben wir verdammt viel ausgegeben... und wir warenb nur 8 tage dort.
