So you can have a pre-launch look at shackspace. It is okay to fall asleep on a couch in lounge area because of exhaustion due to hack-a-thon programming, but when you need a real bed, please book an accomodation by yourself. We want to point out, that Frühlingsfest in Bad Cannstatt will start on 21.04 and this could influence the booking attitude in our area. * [[http://www.hrs.de/web3/searchWeb1000.do;jsessionid=048032E36EE9341865436CF61DAD42B0.49-2?activity=showHotellistWithPromotion&showOverlay=true#initialLoaded|HRS.de in Wangen]] * [[http://www.couchsurfing.org|couchsurfing.org]] * [[http://www.jugendherberge.de/en/hostels/search/map/index.jsp?ID=1|jouth hostel Jugenherberge.de in Baden-Württemberg]] * [[http://www.hostelworld.com/findabed.php/ChosenCity.Stuttgart/ChosenCountry.Germany|Hostels in Stuttgart]] Unfortunately we don't have a shower (yet), but there is the public swimming bath [[http://www.stuttgart.de/baeder/menu/187582|Inselbad Untertürkheim]] [[http://maps.google.com/maps?oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:de:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=inselbad+untert%C3%BCrkheim&fb=1&hq=inselbad+untert%C3%BCrkheim&cid=0,0,17749384756480202521&ei=-sKAT6OkH4LgtQbO25nYBA&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=image&ved=0CA8Q_BI|(Wegbeschreibung)]] and costs 4,10€ and (1/2 before closing) 3,10€ in the evening. ==== chemist's ==== * [[http://maps.google.de/maps?saddr=Ulmer+Stra%C3%9Fe+255,+Stuttgart&daddr=Ulmer+Stra%C3%9Fe+292B,+70327+Stuttgart+(Rinkenberg+Apotheke)+to:Salacher+Stra%C3%9Fe+13,+70327+Stuttgart-Wangen,+Deutschland+(Stern-Apotheke)+to:Ulmer+Stra%C3%9Fe+363,+70327+Stuttgart,+Germany+(Apotheke+am+Marktplatz)&hl=de&ie=UTF8&sll=48.775295,9.23892&sspn=0.003776,0.010568&geocode=FQhH6AIdFuyMAClFhThKX8SZRzFMjjlL93Muig%3BFd5A6AIdtPSMACETqpRZoJx-iQ%3BFfA96AIdgAaNAClxa1BQXMSZRzGCfUwx-CZYOA%3BFSI06AIdPA6NACmVVsNEXcSZRzGs9pIa5d2CGg&dirflg=w&mra=ls&t=m&z=16|Drei Apotheken in direkter Umgebung (Rinkenberg Apothele, Stern-Apotheke, Apotheke am Marktplatz)]] ==== Food and Stuff ==== ===== What Language?
