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 more info: snailmail: [darkhawk/iris] christian hviid laessoegade 78, 1 5230 odense m denmark email: darkhawk@gmx.net phone: [0045] 65

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, email the entries to darkhawk friday morning 08.00 at the latest. amiga demo ---------- must not exceed 5mb of packed size. must run from progdir: without assigns. will be shown to the end, not including reading a 4 hour long scroller. must work on an amiga 1200 with a 50mhz 030er, fpu and 8mb of fastram. amiga intro ----------- will be held with 2 or more intros, but then there will not be prizes for all 3 entries, heh. they must be able to run on an amiga 1200 with a 50mhz 030er, fpu and 8 mb of fastram. the size limit is 40k, not 64k.. make a demo instead, if you have a 64k intro ready ;] 4 channel music competiton -------------------------- this is your standard, run of the mill protracker module compo. modules up to 880k unpacked are allowed, the tune will be played for 5 minutes, if too many entries are delivered, a quite competent jury will be selected to bring down the number of competing modules to 15. ofcourse only one module for each musician. graphics competition -------------------- only iff pictures accepted, no raytracings [see the raytracing compo later], clearly digitized/scanned pictures will be disqualified, drawn copies are ok though. only one picture per graphician. best raytracing --------------- all formats will be displayed if possible. there will only be one real prize that is, but we might give the secondplace a beer or something like that too ;] 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 am talking about here, but do not let that frighten you into not competing ;] that is it, that is all. now attend damn you :]
