                                  ------------
  so,  here  we  go again with this stuff =) as you all know astrosyn`97 was an
 really  successfull  party  which was visited by at least 400 scene ppl and we
 want  to  organise  the sequel of it.  this file is only small pre-invitation.
 if  you  want  to know more details - read forthcomming versions of it (always
 watch  the  release  date, please).  READ THE RULES CAREFULLY and support this
 event again...
 
                                when and where?
                                ---------------
  ASTROSYN  2  will  be  held in koszalin, poland on second or third weekend of
 march  1999.   final  date will be published in the official invitation at the
 beginning of january`99.  partyplace will be a student club named "kreslarnia"
 (property of technical uniwersity of koszalin, too).
 
                                 general rules
                                 -------------
 - entrance fee don`t grow up = 25 plz (~8 usd or ~14 dem). foreigners and girls
   comes for free as always.

   everywhere, but you can womit only at signed places =)
