Yodel ------------------------- ICING '96 Stenkullen, Sweden 24-27 May 1996 (Just another party?) -------------------------- www.one.se/icing/ icing@one.se Leave your troubles behind and visit the most at- mospheric computer festival of the year. Dream away, have a few laughs, make some friends: join the Icing way of living during some bright days in the beauteous month of May. . w h e n At 20.00 the 24th of May, the doors to Icing '96 open. 64 hours and a great deal of fun later, at 12.00 the 27th of May the party closes down. The opening ceremony takes place at midnight the first party night. . p r e m i s e s Icing '96 is held in Vättlehallen, an icehockey arena in Stenkullen, Sweden, about 30 kilometres from the metropolis of Göteborg. About 2000 squaremetres of effective floor space serves as the main party hall. A separate, ravepartyless building, sized as an ordinary Swedish physical education hall is available for those who want to take a nap. . h o w t o g e t t h e r e CAR. If you're travelling by car, take the E20 towards Stockholm or Göteborg, depending on where you start. When you reach Kastenhofsmotet, leave highway and follow the signs saying 'Stenkullen'. Having arrived at the center of Stenkullen, turn left into the street called Gråbovägen.After about 300 metres you have Vättlehallen, the party place, directly on your right hand. TRAIN, BOAT, PLANE. When travelling using any of these vehicles you should get to Göteborg as a start. If you are one of those rich chaps or maybe a bit lazy, the right thing for you to do is to call for a cab and make the driver follow the de- scription above.The other alternative is to locate Centralstation, the main(and only) railway station of Göteborg and catch the local train towards Lerum. Get off at Stenkullen, the first stop after Lerum. Proceed straight forward on foot about 250 meters and you face Vättlehallen, the party place. Signs in the surrounding of the party place will guide you; you cannot virtually fail to find the Icing '96. If you still do, just ask some nice- looking fellow to explain the way to the icehall 'Vättlehallen'. . e n t r a n c e f e e The nominal fee for visiting Icing '96 is 200SEK. For paying in advance(no foreigners!) reach us via mail or Internet! The entrance fee for girls is as usual free. . f o o d a n d f a c i l i t i e s CAFETERIA. A cafeteria that stays open around the clock serves the visitors with Coca-Cola(TM), sandwiches, hotdogs and other necessities. PIZZAS. A pizzeria delivers the most delicious pizzas - right in time and to fair prices. HYGIENE. As Icing '96 takes places in an icehockey arena there is plenty of showers available, making it possible for everyone to freshen themselves up once in a while. And it is highly recommended to utilize this possibility as everyone's not smel- ling like a horse adds up to a nicer atmosphere. . c o m p e t i t o n s GENERAL. Everyone who wants to compete in any com- petition has to be present at Icing '96. The or- ganizers reserve the exclusive right to spread everything delivered to the competitions, decide which contributions may participate in case of too many competitors and disqualify any contribution that contains racistic or pornographic implica- tions or in other ways is offensive. All contribu- tions in the demo and intro competitions on both platforms will be taped to video, which means that everything must run (or at least work) in 50Hz. If you're uncertain of how to implement this on the PC, have a look at the Icing '96 WWW pages or get your hands on the PC invitation intro for detailed information. PRIZE MONEY. The main purposes of releasing some- thing within the borders of the scene is to achieve honour and pride, isn't it?But then again, a total sum of about 25000SEK will be given away as prize money. This sum is, however, a function of the number of visitors and, to some extent, the the quality of the contributions. JURY PRIZE. In the cathegories Amiga demo, Amiga 64k, PC demo, PC 64k,graphics and music, a special prize based on the opinion of a jury will be given away.
