why not. this is the third time
we hold scene meeting, the
meeting for the amiga scene. we
have held it one official time
and one unofficial time. we
have arranged it together with
ambrosia in the past, but they
are sadly either inavailable or
too pc minded now, heh, so this
year, we hold it on our own,
with help from the amiga club
amiga-djurs, who have been so
kind as to find a partyplace
for us, which is way out in the
country, with cows grazing
outside probably.. or maybe not
why hold scene meeting? well
it is fun to do, and we always
earn enough money with the
event not to need doing
anything else the rest of the
year.. yes, that is true, we
actually take all the money
you bring with you, and keep it
for ourselves, as entrancefee..
that is true, yep. ehmm, if you
want to know what the fees will
be this year, check out the
info&rules section now.
otherwise, continue to read
this gibberish.
it is not the big secret, that
mainly danes will show up, as
it is in denmark we hold this
[although one could argue how
much of denmark is up there,
where the party is to take
place, hehe], so prepare to
speak a bit of danish, heh..
ofcourse all info and compo
thingies will be done with an
english speaking person, for
your convenience, if you have
the money for it.. ehh, no that
was not quite right..
and, you can be sure that there
will only be amiga owners at sm
we do not accept pc owners at
all. or rather, we will not
accept any pc inside of the
partyplace. if we see one, this
year we will use it for our pc-
throwing compos so now you have
been warned [and we mean it..
stay away pc]
the intent of this party is to
be like the parties of old. a
lot of sceners, with the right
computer and the right spirit
doing funny things together
[why do you think it is called
sm, eh], competing and talking
and ravaging the town outside
of the partyplace. but not the
partyplace... heh..
we do not expect the big amount
of sceners, infact, be so nice
as to not attend more than 100
persons, or you will have to
sit on the lawn outside, or
maybe in a classroom, if you
pay for it [are we not the
commercial ones? hehe]...
yes, the party takes place in
denmark, 20-22 february 1998..
fine.. now attend..
huh. an address. arhh, do not
be primitive, can you not even
find it on your own. i said we
did not have more space than
for 100 or so people, so we
decided to limit the number of
people attending, by not giving
any address. you will have to
find it for yourself.. that is
right.. bye...
ok ok ok.. the actual address
is: 0stre skole
skolebakken 20
8500 grenaa
denmark
you can begin showing up at
around 10 o-clock in the
morning, if you feel like it.
ofcourse most of us, the
hardworking organizers, will
sleep at that time, because we
have been boozing the day
before, but atleast there will
be electricity [boy are you not
beginning to feel welcome, huh]
and the party will end again at
18.00 sunday. aprox... you will
not precisely be thrown out at
that time, but we will cut the
electricity and begin packing
down the tables, turn off the
light, let in the rottweilers
and well... you should better
get going around there... just
for your own safety ofcourse.
oki, now the address has been
given out, might aswell give
out some car, train, bus and
ferry times too..
how to reach sm by car:
yes, if you come from europa,
but not scandinavia, then you
have to drive north. yep, that
is right, north. follow the
motorway up till you are about
to reach the second biggest
city in dk, with the name of
aarhus. then you will have to
drive east. yep, east. ehhm,
follow the signs to grenaa, and
when you are in grenaa, there
is only left to find the school
where the party will be held,
which is located in grenaa. oki
now you can find it yourself?
ok ok ok.. the roadnumbers to
follow up, are E45 till you
reach aarhus, then turn east
onto -15 or -16, and you will
reach grenaa. skolebakken is a
sideway to havnevejen, which
runs through all of grenaa. if
you follow havnevej in the
direction of the harbour [havn
meaning harbour in danish], you
will find skolebakken on your
left..
how to reach sm by ferry:
yep, boats [the ones that sail
and stuff] go to grenaa from
erhm, what is it called in
english.. dunno, you will be
driving in denmark anyway, so
it is called sjaellands odde.
if you come from sjaelland,
that is the easiest and least
expensive route to take. the
ferryroute is called the mols
line and after that trip, you
will find yourself in ebeltoft,
a little danish town. from the
harbour you take your car [or
your feet] and follow the -21
road untill you see the -15
road.. take that one, and there
grenaa is ahead..
for ordering a seat on the mols
line from sjaelland, call
[0045] 59 32 32 32
if you come from sweden or
norway, you can take the ferry
to some northern danish town,
and then drive south to aarhus
and then east to grenaa, etc..
scanlines, who have some
boats going to these towns, can
be reached by phone at [0045]
33 15 15 15
how to reach sm via train:
well, tell them you will want
to reach grenaa in denmark, via
aarhus and if they do not get
that, they must be stupid..
easy enough, eh..
here is some traindeparture
info, find out everything else
by yourself:
aarhus - grenaa
departing from aarhus: 8:42,
10:14, 12:14, 14:14, 16:14 and
17:14
arriving in grenaa: 10:07,
11:37, 13:37, 15:35, 17:35 and
18:39
odder - aarhus - grenaa
departing from odder: 8:00,
9:34, 11:34 and 16:34
departing from aarhus: 8:42,
10:14 12:14 and 17:14
from the trainstation of grenaa
there is roughly about 1km to
the partyplace, so you may
either walk with all your
equipment, take a bus or take a
taxi. for ordering a taxi, call
this number: 86 30 01 66
[at the station, not now, heh]
the buses to grenaa:
sjaelland - grenaa:
after having sailed with the
mols line, you take the bus
number 123 to ebeltoft and the
351 to grenaa.
aarhus - grenaa:
take 122, it goes to grenå.
you can also take 120. one of
the buses should go each hour
[we think, hehehe].
if you take the busses from
anywhere else, you can pretty
damn well figure out yourself
which one to take, hehe..
as you probably have surmised
this text is not too serious.
yep, that is right, it is not,
because this really is a small,
cozy, noncommercial party,
without network, internet or pc
quakers. you will have to get
your own fun, there will be no
non stop action from us, there
will be no concerts, no food to
be bought at the partyplace, no
nothing, no facilities at all..
no wait, that was not entirely
correct.. you know, the party
is located in grenaa a somewhat
big town with pubs, discos, no
mcd, etc... argh, no mcd.. yeah
sorry, they are about to build
one but it will not be finished
in time, sorry.. there is lotsa
other things in grenaa, lotsa
beer.. and drugs too for that
matter, hehe. you are not
completely stuck in the boring
partyplace, so do not despair..
this were the outside
facilities.. is that not cool..
inside? hmm, we have a hall at
a school, we have electricity,
we have tables, we have some
toilets i think [do you not
just looove thorough planning?
heh], and then we have.. uhmm
yes well. it is noncommercial..
you will have to have fun
without all the crappy tp
facilities hehe. but check the
rules section later, for how
you may not have fun, inside
atleast, heh. and now [tadaaaa]
the entrancefees! [and if you
think that there will be no
compoprizes because of the
entrancefees, check the compo
section, hehe..]:
entrancefee for male danes:
000000000 danish kroner
entrancefee for male non-danes:
000000000 danish kroner
entrancefee for all females:
0dkr [and I will give you a
beer at a pub, ok?]
yes, hope you can manage this
exceedingly high fee. as i
already have stated, we are
totally noncommercial, and this
must prove it, no? next time we
will probably pay you to attend
or maybe not... no sponsors
either, we have gotten
everything for free, thanks to
contacts and the danish welfare
system, hehe.. and yes, there
will be good audio equipment
and a biiigscreen atleast 20x20
meters. oki, maybe not, but
atleast it will not be a tv or
something equally small, heh
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
then do not attend..
and, if you feel like you have
something special to show, a
video, a production, anything,
then do not be afraid to ask us
about showing it..
and, as an exclusive service to
make sure you will not be
disappointed or bored at this
party: if you are bored, you
will get your entrancefee back.
shiit, are we not benevolent
organizers..
and as for sleepingspace.. well
this is a school, and there is
probably only one hall used for
partying, so there will be
seperate classrooms for
sleeping. happy now...
here are some addresses of
the mainorganizer [that is me,
ofcourse, heeh], if you want
more info [what more could you
possibly want to know after you
have read this invitation text.
hehe], if you want to reserve
tables [300 dkr per reservation
ehmm, not, I guess.], or if you
want.. well, something.. please
drop me a note [or drop me a
chat, eh], just saying that you
will be there, so that we can
take appropriate action if i
get over 1000 of those notes,
hehe..

chance to get in touch with me
feel free to use the phone 24
hours 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:
yes yes, sad and boring and
capitalistic, i know, but there
are rules.. ehmm, i do not have
time for them now though, have
to attend a lesson on the uni..
see you later [ehh].. damn...
first time i am up for that
lesson in two months, and then
it is cancelled.. is that the
thanks for me loyally sticking
to this study? ehmm, i know, i
digress terribly.. the rules
then..
1. you may not, naadaa, 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
school.. if you do, pay for
it or die..
3. drinking and eating inside
is allowed. [atleast we say
so, heh]
4. smoking [both weed and
tobacco] is allowed! [but
do not tell the personal at
the school, hehe]
5. if you puke anywhere in the
school, two organizers will
use you to clean up the mess
[if you understand...]
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 -- heheh
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..
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 and 8mb of fastram.
responsible for amiga demo:
darkhawk
amiga intro
-----------
will be held with 2 or more
intros, but then there wont
be prizes for all 3 entries.
they must be able to run on
an amiga 1200 with a 50mhz
030er and 4 mb of fastram.
the size limit is 40k, not
64k.. make a demo instead,
if you have a 64k intro ready
responsible for amiga intro:
darkhawk
4 channel competition
---------------------
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.
responsible for the 4 channel
music competition:
notman
multi channel competition
-------------------------
if enough modules are
delivered [3 or 4], we will
have this compo too. your
modules can be made in
whatever amiga musicprogram
you want, which uses more
than 4 channels. otherwise,
the same rules as the 4
channel compo apply.. only
the first ranked will get any
prize though. the others will
have to be satisfied with the
extreme honour of it..
responsible for the multi
channel music competition:
notman
graphics competition
--------------------
only iff pictures accepted,
no raytracings [see the
raytracing compo later],
clearly scanned pictures
will be disqualified, drawn
copies are ok though. only
one picture per graphician.
responsible for the graphics
competition:
ransom
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 liter of milk or something
too..
responsible for the best
raytracing competition:
ransom
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..
responsible for surprise
compos: various
prizes
------
yes yes, now your eyes are
gleaming with greed, eh, and
all the big groups start
calculating if they can get
their trip refunded, if they
win the democompetition. well,
as you have seen now, the
entrance is for free, so where
do we get money. quite easy, we
are using all the money we won
with our demo kilkenny at an
earlier party, so we have a
prizebudget of 4500 dkr, aprox,
not counting some games we won
too, and unforeseen expenses. i
can tell you the percents of
the money, that each compo will
receive, -if- there is enough
entries. if there is not enough
entries, we will use some of
the money in other competitions
but if you e.g had a demo
finished, and release it at sm
anyway, you will get some
recompense, never fear..
amiga demo: 50
amiga intro: 25
amiga 4channel: 12
amiga graphics: 12
[harrhaarr. we will keep one
percent of our own money for
ourselves, maybe.. boy are we
capitalistic..]
raytracing, multichannel and
surprise compos will get from
another pool of ressources,
that we have ready. You will
not be disappointed though [or
you will get your entrancefee
back. hahah]...
and yes, i think that even if
we manage to win some more
competitions before the next sm
the next sm will feature
entrancefees. this is just a
commercial trick to get you to
attend now, and next year, we
will have an entrancefee of 400
dkr per person per day [then
again.. maybe not..]
that is it, that is all
now attend, damn you...
