{[PARTY!!]}
{We are going to have a party in}
{[J|rf|lla] [7-9] of August 1992.}
{Organizers: [OXYGEN] and [ABSTRACT.]}
{Sponsors:   [Commodore Sweden] and}
{[HiFi och Data i Vasastan AB]}
{The entrance fee will be 95}
{SEK. We are renting a school and there}
{is room for about 900 people.}
{[Special offer:]}
{A Special Welcome-Disk and the entrance}
{fee together for 100 SEK.}

{[Note:]}
{It will be in a [SCHOOL], not in the}
{subway, not in a warehouse, not in the}
{police station and absolutely not in an}
{[icehall.]}
{We have, most naturally, a RGB-projector}
{to show all demos and things on.}

{[TRAVELLING]}
{As said earlier it will take place in}
{J|rf|lla, in a school called [Bj`rkeby-]}
{[Skolan]. It is situated a tiny bit}
{north of Stockholm city and you can get}
{there by taking the commuter train,}
{(Swedish: pendelt°g?). From Stockholms}
{Central, take the train to Kungs|ngen,}
{and get off at "[Barkarby Station]". To get}
{to the school, just follow [Ekonomiv|gen]}
{until you hit Byleden, and you will see it.}

{Check the map for more details.}
{If you go there by car, you will}
{propably enter by road [E18]. Check out}
{a map over Stockholm and try to get}
{to the following address:}
{[Bj`rkeby Skolan]}
{[Brasv|gen 2]}
{[J|rf|lla]}
{In the Barkarby - Sk|lby area!}
{The party will begin at 15.00 Friday}
{the 7th of August and end at 12.00}
{Sunday the 9th of August.}

{[LET'S COMPETE!]}
{Naturally, all the usual competitions}
{will be there, such as [Best Demo,]}
{[Best Picture, Best Module] and hopefully}
{some other small competitions (that in}
{fact might turn out to be very}
{profitable) like [Best Bootintro] and}
{[Best RealTime Demo!!]}
{Info follows, read [ALL] pages!}
{All winners will be selected using a}
{[jury], or something...(it will be done}
{[fair] anyway, so dont worry).}


{Any unserious contributions won't be}
{allowed to participate, but they will}
{be showed anyway. There is [no limit] to}
{the amount of demos each group can}
{contribute with, but we doubt that}
{you can press out more than [one]}
{(serious demos, that is).}
{Anyway, do your best, we [LOVE] demos!}

{The prizes in the demo-competition}
{will be as follows:}

{[1st prize:     7,000 SEK.]}
{[2nd prize:     3,000 SEK.]}
{[3rd prize:     1,000 SEK.]}

{Deadline:       Saturday at [21:00.]}
{Showtime:       Saturday at [24.00.]}

{Demos must work on Amigas with 512 kB of}
{chip memory, and 512 kB fast-mem.}

{Contributions to the graphics-}
{competition must be deliviered as IFF-}
{pictures, displayable from any normal}
{program. [Max] 1 picture per group.}
{The winner is selected using a jury}
{here, too. Prizes as follows:}
{[1st prize:    1,000 SEK.]}
{[2nd prize:      500 SEK.]}
{[3rd prize:      200 SEK.]}

{Deadline:     Saturday at [19:00.]}
{Showtime:     Saturday at [22:30.]}

{Music must be left to us as [modules],}
{playable from ProTracker. This is to}
{avoid any "mini-demos" instead of}
{pure music-files. [Max] 1 tune per group,}
{Is there anything worse than neverending}
{music-competitions with 30-40 tunes?!}
{Try to keep your tune-lengths below}
{[4] minutes, since this is the time-}
{limit when we play them... This might}
{be even shorter, if we get too many}
{contributions, but we will guarantee}
{at least [2] minutes.}



{Prizes in music-competetion will be:}

{[1st prize:   1,000 SEK.]}
{[2nd prize:     500 SEK.]}
{[3rd prize:     200 SEK.]}

{Deadline:     Saturday at [19:00.]}
{Showtime:     Saturday at [21:45.]}

{A Realtime demo-competition will also}
{be held. The time-limit will be 8 hrs,}
{and each group may have three members}
{competing, using a maximum of three}
{computers. You are not allowed to}
{bring any programs or disks of your}
{own, but we will supply a couple of}
{disks with neat utilities and stuff.}
{The disks will contain:}
{AsmOne, DevPac, SEKA, DPaint,}
{NoiseTracker and ProTracker,}
 IFFMaster, Replayroutines, and samples.

{A certain amount of notes is allowed,}
{however, they will be checked by us.}
{When you sign up for the competition,}
{you must give us 2 (3?) disks which we}
{will fill with the programs listed}
{earlier. The prizes in the RealTime}
{competition are as follows:}
       [1st prize:    2,000 SEK.]
       [2nd prize:    1,000 SEK.]
       [3rd prize:     400 SEK.]
   Worktime:     Saturday [0:00-08:00.]
   Showtime:     Saturday at [24:00.]

{We will probably have one or more}
{gaming-competitions, but they are}
{not decided yet, so we'll just throw}
{some in...}
{Of course, these prizes [might] very well}
{be changed or redistributed, depending}
{on the level of participation in the}
{different competitions. Especially the}
{[RealTime-Competition], which we know (of}
{own experience) often is too [tough] for}
{most groups, might be taken down if}

{there's only 2-3 groups participating}
{(But these money will be TRANSFERRED to}
{another competition). But we [CAN] }
{guarantee a quite good Entrance/Prize}
{ratio, that is, even if not many people}
{show up, prizes will be high. Chances}
{are that prizes will be [higher] than}
{stated here.}

{[LAWS OF THE PARTY:]}
{The first and most important rule is:}
{[** NO ALCOHOL AT ALL ALLOWED! **]}
{That is, leave all beer, liquor, wine}
{and such things AT HOME !  GEDDIT?!!!}
{Also, no drugs, and no smoking (inside}
{the building)!}
{If you think that these are hard rules,}
{try to think about it. It might help...}
{This is a [LEGAL] party, so all violations}
{of any copyrightlaws are [YOUR] fault!}


{And naturally, we don't want to see any}
{vandalism or anything! The police will be called!}


{Don't let these rules bother you, since}
{they are quite obvious!!!!!!}

{[HOW TO SURVIVE]}
This will be really easy. If you are
lazy, you can buy lots of food in the
Cafeteria (lika pizza and sandwiches).
The Cafeteria, by the way, is a REAL
Cafeteria, with Tables and chairs
where you can relax and talk.
If you want to buy things outside the
school, there's a [P]izza-[P]lace with
reduced [p]rice for [P]arty-[P]eople ([p]hew,
Lots of [P]:s!), and other stores. Check
out the map for more info on this!

{[GOOD THINGS]}
There will be a lot of goodies at the
party, for instance:
* 5-6 phonelines with [HST] and 2400 bps
  modems available for a small sum.
* Normal phones are also available!
* Films shown continously on the RGB-
  projector.
* Disks, hardware and programs will
  be sold very [cheap].
* Big sleepinghall if you want some
  peace and quiet.

* Showers if you want to freshen up
  (for those who've never tried this,
  try it, it's [great!]).
* Active organizers! (If you want
  something, just talk to us and we'll
  see what we can do!)
* A [GREAT] Cafeteria where we will sell
  most things, to drink and eat.

This is [NOT] all, since we will be
working on this constantly. Many new
things will turn up.

{[SPORTS:]}
{Next to the schools there's a big}
{football-field, so we will hopefully}
{arrange some sporty-competitions for}
{everyone who wants to have some fun.}
{things like:}
{* Soccer * Disk-throwing * Frisbee}
{* Burnball (=Br|nnboll?!)}
{Just give us suggestions, and we will}
{listen! Of course it's what you want}
{that counts. Let's try breaking the disk-}
{throwing record from [ASSEMBLY'92] !!}

complain, make suggestions about
improvements, or anything else
