Hi Todd,

Though I don't know whether it's appropriate that I take a hand in this
discussion, but since I'm organizing events too (1000steine-Land), I can second
your thoughts by all means. I wasn't counting hours, and I doubt I'm able to
round up the amount of time, but I guess it's enough to start with the basic
requirements:

- Discussion with co-organizers: What are requirements of a contemplable
location? ~2 hours

- researching a location which fits the needs (online): ~5 hours

- visiting the event location four times, including driving and talking to the
employee there about general things: 4x ~6h = 24 hours. At home beforehand:
Discussion with co-organizer about what we need to adress to the location's
director, 4x ~1h = 4 hours

- declaring the event to the authorities, including all the paperwork: 3 hours

- taking out the policy, incl. all the paperwork, incl. collecting everyone's
model information, incl. demanding again and again... 8 hours

- drawing up an account for the fiscal authorities: 4 hours

That's already 50 hours without organizing anything that has to do with the
event itself...

Leg Godt!
Rene
