Microconf Europe 2014

Real-life Bootstrapped Meet-Ups
#18

I’m also coming to the conference this year.

I actually live in Prague (hi @chriskottom), so if I can help someone with information or something, let me know.

Regarding the shooting range, I do not know this one. I used to go to a different one in the center a few years ago: http://www.avim.cz/index.php?pg=home&lg=en. It was OK, nothing great. It was cheap and in the center, though.

I can completely recommend this indoor skydiving arena, though. It is an awesome experience while completely safe, and the people running it are fluent in English and very nice.

Another fun activity that I think is cheaper in Prague could be flying in a real commercial flight simulator. You get a basic introduction to flying commercial jets (Airbus 320), and then get to actually fly one in a real commercial simulator.

I had a go at indoor skydiving in the UK a few years ago. It was fun. But hard on your abs+back!

#20

Website says the range is ‘TEMPORARILY CLOSED’.

#22

Oh, shame. I didn’t notice that. Sorry.

#23

I’m going! Absolutely loved it last year, I learnt so much :smile:

Arriving Sunday, there was a meetup in the evening at the hotel on the night before last time…

I’ll be there!

And right after Microconf, there will be the Pioneers conference in Vienna ( http://www.pioneers.io )
Anyone going there?
I created a separate topic: Pioneers Conference in Vienna (October 29 & 30, right after Microconf)

Hi Andy,

I’m on the 11 am flight too. Will try to find you at Heathrow. Might be able to get you into the BA lounge for some breakfast? (Long story, but I’m a “Friend of BA” - will explain when I see you.) And definitely share a cab to the hotel. Do you have my mobile?

Hey guys, I am a fellow microconf attendee though we haven’t met yet.
I would love to join you. I’m also all in for the sniper rifle package :smile:

Are you going to be at the hotel on Sunday afternoon?

#31

Yes, I actually arrive a week early

#32

Hi Andy,

Cheers,
Christoph

#33

Hi Christoph,

Sorry, won’t be able to I’m afraid. But have fun and think of me when you shoot things. No wait…

I am supposed to touch down at Prague airport 14:00. So 15:00 might be cutting it a bit fine.

But sunset is 16:50 according to:

Is a 15:30 pickup from the hotel too late?

#36

Without too much experience, but I estimate that it takes about 10 minutes per gun to fire.

#37

@itengelhardt @Andy I emailed the range asking if we will be able to finish shooting given our time constraints, I’ll post their answer here.

#38

Let us know what you find out.

#39

They are closed on Sunday :)
Other ranges’ packages are kinda weak in comparison. I guess that settles it with shooting on Sunday.
Too bad, I really like the idea.
