PROLOGUE: 　 　 　 　 ***** . WE WILL NOT HELP YOU!!! . + + + - HELP YOURSELF!!! . ***** 　 　 SO, PLEASE (!), READ THIS!!! BETTER EVEN: PRINT IT ALL OUT! ALSO THE OTHER FB & CS EVENT PAGES (scroll down to " H: . . LINKS TO ALL COLOGNE CARNIVAL CS & FB EVENT PAGES" for the complete list!) FOR THE SPECIFIC MEETINGS YOU'D LIKE TO JOIN US FOR!!! 　 　 　 　 I . . - . . WE WILL NOT HELP YOU!!! 　 　 Our CS events will begin on Thursday, 08 Feb 2018 and last till Tuesday, 13 Feb 2018. ANYONE WHO DARES TO CALL OR TEXT US - before and especially during the event(s) - to bother us with questions that have already been answered here on this or any of the other event pages OR with problems for which a solution is already described here, WILL GET NO MORE HELP FROM US than the advice to check out these pages! So everyone who was stupid enough NOT to memorize all this (or print it all out...) and who doesn't have mobile internet access will have to find some online access to get this information!!! HOWEVER: DO NOT HESITATE to contact us about anything that has not been answered on the event pages; google maps or (further) mails (IDEALLY via FaceBook or WhatsApp - BUT DO READ THE PART ABOUT "C: COMMUNICATIONS" BELOW!)! 　 　 　 　 II . . - . . HELP YOURSELF! 　 　 Below you'll find a LOT OF INFORMATION - WAY TOO MUCH, you might think. HOWEVER: I've organized quite a few CS events including several for festivals like this before (Carnival, Oktoberfest, World Cup...) - and all of the information below is the result of THINGS THAT WENT BADLY WRONG in the past and then resulted in lots of EXTRA WORK FOR ME to help my surfers. I have no intention whatsoever to spend so many hours on that again and Hanna feels like she doesn't necessarily have to make that experience for herself!!! In fact we already HAVE helped you by putting together all information that you could possibly need. So we don't wanna hear complaints about that this is too much information - it's based on the experiences I've made in the last 13 years, or in other words: based on the questions others have asked and the errors I or others have already made! If you feel that READING ALL THAT IS TOO MUCH EFFORT for you then bear in mind that writing (and annually updating) all of it was some effort for us, too... AT THE VERY LEAST read the - FB and/or CS EVENT PAGE for the day or event you plan to join us for (so that you know how and where to meet us!) - AND use the google MAPS that we've put together: https://drive.google.com/open?id=198FRmLD_f1L8BPVxxBRzUa20kw5wWDd8&usp=sharing
