the party is going to be held  
in a place called thomas b.    
thriges kollegium, which is    
near the university of odense, 
the 3rd largest town in denmark
it is going to take place from 
friday the 9th july at 10.00 to
sunday the 11th july at around 
12.00. we have managed         
[finally] to get hold of a     
quite small parrtyhouse thingie
and our only problem would have
to be that it is probably too  
small if too many decide to    
show up, ehrmm ;] the          
address of the place is:       
                               
thomas b. thrige kollegiet     
munkebjergvaenget 4            
5230 odense m                  
                               
and here is some info about how
to get there :]                
                               
how to reach sm by car         
----------------------         
                               
yep, this is actually not that 
hard. follow the motorhighway  
to odense. drive into odense at
odense c. you should see a mcd 
on your left if you come from  
jylland, on your right if you  
come from sjaelland. follow the
odense centrum sign, which will
direct you to drive past the   
mcd and straight ahead. after  
1 roundabout and at the 3rd    
trafficlight, turn right at the
place called odense teknikum.  
continue straight ahead at the 
next trafficlight and then turn
right again. and again ;] now  
take the left turn and you will
find a red building surrounded 
by trees. this is it..         
                               
how to reach sm by train       
------------------------       
                               
aarhus - odense                
                               
departing from aarhus:         
                               
08:02, 09:02, 10:02, 11:02,    
12:02, 13:02, etc.             
                               
arriving in odense:            
                               
09:45, 10:45, 11:45, 12:45,    
13:45, 14:45, etc.             
                               
copenhagen - odense            
                               
departing from copenhagen:     
                               
09:00, 09:30, 10:00, 10:30,    
11:00, 11:30, etc.             
                               
arriving in odense:            
                               
10:29, 11:02, 11:29, 12:02,    
12:29, 13:02, etc.             
                               
taking a bus from the          
trainstation:                  
                               
this is actually quite easy... 
any bus with the number: 21    
,will stop at the partyplace.  
sometimes the nice busdrivers  
announce the name of the next  
stop and sometimes they do not.
so tell him to drop you off at 
the thomas b. thriges kollegium
if he does not. if lost, just  
scream ;]                      
                               
and right here we must not     
forget to send out a huge thank
you to jemo/agravedict, for    
actually getting this place for
us :]                          
------------------------       


the schedule for the events    
will be shown at the party, but
we will make sure there is     
[more or less] plenty of stuff 
for you to see on the          
bigscreen. that stuff will     
ofcourse be amiga only, meaning
new demos, old demos, games,   
scala, ehrr.. mpgs of bill     
gates getting assaulted with   
cakes, etc., you know the score
:] apart from that, we might   
feature some special surprise  
competitions, but otherwise, it
is pretty much up to you alone 
to have a good time, chat to   
eachother, meet new people,    
make something for the         
competitions, booze a bit,     
explore the town, gatecrash a  
party and bring some chicks    
back with you [infact, that    
might become a competition ;]],
etc.. there will not be        
featured any network or        
internet facilities, because   
frankly, we [or is that only   
me. no matter, i am the        
dictator ;]] think that those 2
things, along with pc lamers   
and commercial sponsoring, are 
the mainthings responsible for 
ruining the special old        
party-atmosphere we experienced
once upon a time. but do not be
afraid that we will smash your 
amiga if we find that there is 
a parallel cable connecting    
your computer with another     
amiga though ;]                
                               
a word about facilities. except
for the inside facilities at   
the partyplace, like           
electricity [wow, ehh], sound  
and bigscreen, toilets, other  
sceners, amigas, competitions, 
fun, etc., there is ofcourse   
also a town outside of the     
partyplace, for you who would  
like to show you are not only  
computer-nerds [yeah sure, as  
if we would believe that ;]].  
infact it is the 3rd biggest   
town in denmark, which does say
something atleast. darkhawk    
would be quite willing to be   
your tourguide in the nightlife
of odense if you cover all of  
his expenses, haha.. ehrr, but 
odense has everything you will 
likely be needing, and more.   
not far from the partyplace,   
the biggest marketcenter in the
city is located, it has        
everything, cinema, mcd, stores
etc.. a bit closer by, there is
a supermarket for those of you 
who have to walk. for getting  
into the wild nightlife of     
odense, you should better take 
a bus though, as it is quite a 
long walk otherwise. however,  
odense got it all, food, beer, 
sex, drugs, senseless violence,
gangs, etc.. you will feel     
right at home..                
                               
now over to the entrance fee   
for this sm.. last year it was 
all for free as you know, we   
spent all of our money to      
please you.. that was, as i    
wrote in my last party         
invitation, just a poor        
commercial trick to make you   
attend, and now we strike back 
with really huge, capitalistic 
entrance prices.. here they    
come:                          
                               
entrancefee for most people:   
                               
50dkr                          
                               
entrancefee for iris:          
                               
0dkr                           
                               
entrancefee for those helping  
the day before the party:      
                               
0dkr                           
                               
yes as you can see, you can    
either be a lazy iris member,  
or some poor hardworking guy   
who has to move around a lot of
tables, otherwise we are afraid
that you just have to pay this 
exceedingly high entrancefee   
upon entering the partyplace...
                               
we will be showing demos and   
stuff on the bigscreen now and 
then, when we feel like it, and
there is nothing else going on.
if you hate the scene and demos
[that includes really old demos
too, hehe], do not attend.. :] 
and, if you feel like you have 
something special to show, a   
video, a production, anything, 
then dont  be afraid to ask us 
about showing it, although we  
will require  some money to    
actually show it.. ehrr..      
                               
and as for sleepingspace..     
well, we should be able to     
locate a seperate sleeping room
for you who do not want to     
sleep in the partyhall, and    
iris members will ofcourse each
get one room with bed, etc.,   
that goes without saying ;]    
                               
here are some addresses of the 
mainorganizer in case you want

now you should have a good     
chance to get in touch with me.
feel free to use the phone     
24hours a day, but if you wake 
me, i can guarantee that you   
will not win any prizes at sm, 
no matter how good your entry  
is, heeeheeeeheh..             
                               
the rules:                     
                               
mostly, our rules are infact   
things you may do on the party,
but ofcourse we also have some 
quite common rules. atleast    
they are common for sm. the    
first rule is especially       
important, do not think you    
have a chance in hell of       
violating that one, heh:       
                               
1. you may not, naada, ikke,   
nicht, etc. bring any computer 
having affilation to the pc.   
that includes laptops. we have 
warned you. we do not want to  
look at any pc..               
                               
2. hmm, a boring rule: you may 
not damage anything at the     
place.. if you do, pay for it  
or die..                       
                               
3. drinking inside is allowed! 
[atleast we say so, heh] but   
please, do not leave a mess,   
that is all we ask :]          
                               
4. if you puke anywhere in the 
place, two organizers will use 
you to clean up the mess [if   
you understand...]             
                               
5. and smoking is not allowed  
inside the party building! so  
all you poor, soon to be cancer
patients, please smoke outside 
;]                             
                               
that is it.. that is not too   
bad, is it. please follow those
simple rules, crack, copy,     
fuck, etc., as you like, but   
follow those rules.. [pretty   
please].. that includes you too
-- depth -- ;]                 
                               
and, remember:                 
                               
this party is for the amiga    
scene                          
                               
[but other amiga owners are    
welcome too]                   



for all competitions we will   
use an amiga 4060, 50mhz and   
enough fastram, to show the    
various things, but the things 
must be able to run at the     
specified minimumconfiguration 
stated in the various compos   
coming up. else you cannot     
compete.. and you have to be at
the party to get the prizes. if
you are not, but you win, you  
will still have the honour of  
winning, but the money will be 
passed down amongst those      
actually present.. for         
competing without attending,

compo. modules up to 880k      
unpacked are allowed, the tune

only iff pictures accepted, no 
raytracings [see the raytracing
compo later], clearly

;]                             
                               
surprise compos                
---------------                
                               
these will be held if we will  
manage to come up with         
something out of the ordinary, 
but apart from that, we are    
open for suggestions, game     
tournaments, etc..             
                               
prizes                         
------                         
                               
ok, ofcourse we canot have a   
prize budget like tp, but we   
hope that will not stop you    
from releasing a lot of cool   
things at sm, since it is the  
competition with other groups  
and the opportunity to show    
your work that should be       
important for the scene, not   
the money you get for it. that 
said, there will be prizes, do 
not run away screaming now.    
based on the money we get from 
the entrancefee, minus         
unforeseen expenses [iris      
members boozing in the pubs and
such], we will give each       
competition the following      
percentage of money [we reserve
our rights to change this, if  
there is not enough entries in 
some competitions]:            
                               
amiga demo: 50 percent         
                               
amiga intro: 25 percent        
                               
amiga 4channel: 12 percent     
                               
amiga graphics: 12 percent     
                               
raytracing and surprise compos 
will get from another pool of  
ressources, that we have ready.
some of you might know what i
