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] !!} {[MORE INFO:]} If you want to ask about something, complain, make suggestions about improvements, or anything else concerning the party, dont hesitate, {Contact:} {[ABSTRACT]} {Cellov|gen 5F} {75654 Uppsala} {018/402031} {(Jesper or Riku)} {[OXYGEN]} {Dikesgatan 5} {193 32 Sigtuna} {0760/50986} {(Jonas)} {Or call one of these boards:} GALLERY 08/894759 SKYNET 0753/36187
