1. Where and When
-----------------

  Kindergarden'97 will be arranged at Hellerud Videregaende
  Skole (College) in Oslo, Norway. This is the same party
  location as Kindergarden 6 was held.

  The layout of the party is completly different, though.
  Last time we used two halls for the people, and used a
  part of a huge sports-hall as a theatre.
  This year we will instead use one of the halls for
  movies/showing compos, and will have a huge cafeteria
  w/leisure activities and entertainment on the stage. The
  main party will be held in the huge sports-hall, which
  gives us LOTS of space.

  The doors open at 14.00 on Thursday the 3rd of July.

  The doors close at 14.00 on Sunday the 6th of July.


2. Entrance fee 
---------------
  The entrance fee will be 200 NOK, that's roughly about
  30$. Girls get free entrance, like they get on most
  parties. [Bastards!]

  We will accept prepaid entrance fee's, but since the
  prices are kept as low as possible, it will still cost
  200 NOK! Read the "The Kindergarden Staff" section for
  adresses.

  The price has, as you might have noticed, risen with 50
  NOK. This is because the price for the hall is doubled
  this time, because we used A LOT of power last time.
  Also, the party lasts for one more day.


3. Features
-----------

  The Main Hall:

   - There is space for about 600 people in the main hall.
     There are ofcourse enough tables and chairs.

   - The hall has a lot of power, over 1000 Ampere. If the
     need should arise, we can drain power from the various
     classrooms on the school, every one of them feature
     about 100 ampere.

   - Showers for everyone! We will set up a separate shower
     for female guests.

   - Clean toilets! We will actually clean the toilets now
     and then, and take away all the paper from the
     wastebaskets... And put in new!

   - Sleeping is allowed everywhere in the complex (except,
     ofcourse, the locations that are sealed/locked and off
     limits)

   - We will set up a information-channel running on a few
     screens inside the hall w/important messages/what
     films are currently running etc.

   - No fucking stealing of equipment! We've not had
     problems with this before and we don't want it now.

   - Organizers that are not too shy to give messages/host
     compos etc. ;)

  Happenings, Entertainment and Leisure Activities:

   - A theatre located next to the cafeteria will be
     showing all the latest movies nonstop on laserdisk.

   - The city-life in Oslo is great, and the subway is
     located 50 metres from the hall.

   - We will set up a few coin-op's in the cafeteria to
     have fun with.

   - Hopefull the scene in the cafeteria will feature
     liveacts from cool artists like Superted & Yebo etc.

   - Various suprise events. (No lame remote-controlled
     choppers flying around with lame advertisements
     though... Thank god!)

   - We might set up a few machines running IRC so that
     the addicts can spend some time on the net.

   - We will set up a Kinderegg stand in the cafeteria
     where you can place all your Kinderegg figures!

  Food and Beverages:

   - A 24 hours open cafeteria with food (Even the first
     day) and beverages with low prices. Ofcourse with
     Kindereggs!

   - A small kiosk at the entrance of the main-hall will
     sell hot-dogs and beverages. (Limited selection)

   - A mall is located 20 metres from the entrance of the
     hall.

   - Peppes Pizza is located quite close to the hall.

   - McDonalds is located quite close to the hall too.
     (10-15 minutes to walk)

   - THE PARTY WILL *NOT* FEATURE ANY NETWORK SET UP BY US!
    (You are free to set up links/networks yourself though)



4. How to get there
-------------------

   Since Kindergarden is arranged in Oslo, the capitol of
   Norway, transport should be no problem. If you need to
   ask for directions, the area around the hall is called
   "Tveita".

   Go to our WWW page to find maps of the area around the
   hall.

   Plane:

    - Take the plane to Fornebu Airport in Norway.

    - Follow the instructions for train/subway.

   Train/Subway:

    - Travel to Oslo S. (Oslo Sentralbanestasjon, the
      'connection point' of trains in Norway. Mother of all
      stations. You should find it. :))

    - From there take the subway to Tveita.
 
    - The college is located 70 meters from the station,
      just walk around the mall and you will find it.

   If you have problems finding the way, be free to phone
   one of the organizers. Please notice, however, that we
   can not supply any means of transportation for you or
   your equipment.

   The rules are simple. We do not want to control your
   life. Just be nice.

    - We do not allow anyone selling food, disks and the
      likes without WRITTEN permission from the organizers.

    - Illegal drugs and alcohol are ofcourse not allowed
      inside the party area.

    - TOO intoxicated persons will be thrown out or put in
      the showers. We will not throw you out for good, like
      some other lame parties do. (TP/TG sux!)

    - Puking inside the hall will be fined with 100 NOK.
      Please use a toilet if you suddenly have an urge.

    - Any damage to personal and public property must be
      paid for.

      kinds of theft or injuries. Not even injuries by our
      big guards. You have no witnesses.

    - Smoking is not allowed in the sleeping hall, the
      theatre or in the main halls. Please smoke in
      seperate areas put specially aside for this. We have
      not decided if smoking is allowed in the cafeteria.
      Since it is a public building, it's actually
      forbidden by norwegian law. (Maybe if we open the
      windows?)

    - No bannerpainting/tagging/etc inside the partyarea.
      We WILL catch the ones who do this, and we WILL beat

    - Norwegian laws act as normal ofcourse.

    - Be polite and smile when the organizers try to fix
      your problems.

    - No drunken skateboarding/rollerblading inside the
      partyarea. Be careful.

    - Don't bitch the organizers all the time if you can
      fix something yourself without us noticing. (But
      stay away from the power!)

    - It's cool to be crew. They are gods.


7. The Kindergarden FAQ

   and will call us voice and nag about. This should answer
   most of your queries.

   Q: Can we reserve tables at Kindergarden for our group?
   A: No, sorry. But there should be no need. Just come in
      time and grab a lot of space.

   A: Yes. Ofcourse. We'll even put paper and soap where it
      belongs.

      Quake in network?
