                    THE GATHERING 1997
                    ------------------

  - This year it will happen again...
    The KANDU organization gives you one of the greatest
    events of the so far ever organized...

  - Here's the deal :

    - More than 100 hours of pure party !
    - Many compos
    - Non-stop scene-show
    - The worlds largest temp network
    - 100+ crew members at your service
    - A *HUGE* video room
    - Lots of coke will be available
    - World class big-screen !

  - Place and Time :

    - The Hamar olympic hall (or the Vikingship) was built
      for the 1994 winter olympics, with 12000 square
      meters floor space. Since all these sports activities
      are over, we can use it for something a bit more
      meaningful.

    - At TG96 we had over 2500 attendants, and we had
      absolute no problem to get a seat to every person
      there !

  - To get there :

    - If you drive from Oslo, you will see the Vikingship
      right before you enter "Hamar". From here, just
      follow the signs.

    - If you go by train, step out at the Vikingship
      station. If you cannot see the party-place from
      there... please call!

    - If you come by submarine, please check that the sub
      is not submerged when you leave the boat. (and do
      congratulate the captain from me, -> the Vikingship
      is close to a lake, not an ocean!)

  - Time

    - This year will we open at 10:00 at wednesday 26th
      March, and close the hall at 16:00 sunday the 30th
      March. If you should arrive earlier, please contact
      us in advance for arrangements.

  - Entrance        

    Note : at TG96 we let in aliens go for free, but this
    year have taken the decision that aliens will have to
    pay double. "ID4" really shook us up..

    Girls are still let in for free, as are non-europeans
    who show a valid passport all other carbon based
    lifeforms will have to pay the fee of 300,- NOK or
    appx. US $50,-

    Pre-registration can be ordered via "billett-service"
    at your local Norwegian post-office. Foreigns please
    contact us for special arrangements.

    Our clever scheme to sell warm winter clothes at double
    prices failed last year, so this year we will let you
    all into a warm waiting area. Also, we have designed a
    brand new registration system which will crash in an
    even more spectacular way than the TG96 system :)

  - Party - Network

    At TG96 we set a new world standard for party
    networking. At TG97 we will provide at least 1500
    connections, 70 segments at 10MBits and a 155MBit ATM
    backbone. 

    High quality network adapters will be sold at bargain
    prices, but details are still unclear on this one.

    Our experienced network crew have been scrambled once
    again and will work around the clock to get you
    connected...
    We will take this opportunity to thank everyone who
    attended TG96 and gave us the necessary inspiration to
    do it again once more.  (more and more..)

  - Very special thanks to:

    - The local fire-departement for helping us in every
      possible way.

    - The patient crew from ABB, which delivered a
      power-down-free power supply.

    - Masters for helping us sort out technical problems
      with 150 net cards.

    - All the TG96 sponsors (no free ads here guys, sorry)
      :)

    - All voluntary crew members who did the impossible day
      after day for nothing else than the experience...
