natural scene habitat

___________________________________________________what:

solskogen 2002 is arranged by spaceballs, excess,
kvasigen and ephidrena, currently the four most active 
demogroups in norway.

we are dedicated to give you an excellent summer scene
party with sun, cold beer, cool productions and all of
your old and new friends!

____________________________________________________why:


so, why should you come? because this is a 100% sceners 
only party, and the only one held this summer in 
norway! also; we'll be hosting a multitude of 
competitions for all the active platforms; c64, amiga 
and pc!

there are of course other reasons; it's cheap, it's 
well organized, it's close to the capital of norway 
and also to the border to sweden so it's easy to 
access for almost everyone.

compos! a multitude of competitions for everyone to 
enter: c64 demo, c64 graphics, c64 music, amiga demo, 
amiga 64k, pc demo, pc 64k, tracked music, ogg/mp3 
music, 24bpp graphics, 8bpp graphics, wild compo, 
pr0n leeching compo, disk throwing and of course many 
surprise compos and other fun stuff!

also; you can enter in the compos without being at 
the party, but we would of course hope that you come 
in person and share a beer with us. :) 

here are some more key-points to get you in the 
mood / inform you better:

* the party will be held in s, norway. (45 minutes 
from oslo, 1 hour from sweden) the last weekend of 
june (28-30.06.2002)

* we will be hosting a birthdayparty for spaceballs 
and almost all of the old boys will be there!

* rumours has it that the legendary fjortiss 
productions will be giving a short live performance.. 
(sssh!)

* dj's will be playing nice tunes when the sun goes 
down.

* there will be a tent-park for sleeping, so bring 
your tent, bbq and that summer party-spirit!

* the computers will be set up indoors, so you don't 
have to worry about rain. there will ofcourse be a 
chance to move your stuff indoors if the weather 
doesn't turn out to be on our side.

* large bbq! coal and fire provided by us.

* soccer, basketball, badminton and volleyball for 
the active sceners who are not afraid to exchange 
their monitor radiation for some real sun!

* if the last sponsor-deals fall into place, we will 
also give away some cool prizes!

* we will set up a network for spreading scene-stuff 
and to make it easier for people to work on their 
productions. this does NOT mean that we will accept 
gaming! gaming is lame (with the exception of 
bratwurst, slam tilt or larry 1 :)

* there is no internet-connection at the 
partyplace, but since one of the main organizers is 
born and raised just 15 minutes from the site, we
 will have access to isdn to download demos or stuff 
from your group-friends who could not make it 
themselves.

* bigscreen for compos, demoshows and more!

* a very decent soundsystem (not run by deaf people) 
and enough power for everyone.

* we've rented the gym at the local school for 
access to plenty of showers.

* as a base rule, only people that over the age of 
18 will be allowed to come. however! if you're 
really cool but under 18, send us an email and 
we'll consider to let you in anyway. :)

* norwegian law applies and neither we, nor the law 
itself, allows for the use of drugs. we will allow 
drinking, but this is a demoparty, not a beer-fest, 
so the enjoyment of beer is primarily ment as a 
social and enjoyable event and not as a way to get 
unbelievably drunk and do silly things to 
lamp-posts. :) 

____________________________________________________how:


the partyplace is called "kroer samfunnshus", and is 
located in s.

to get in you will have to pay an entrance-fee of 
course. we have expenses you know.

the fee is 150 NOK / 20 EUR for foreginers or if paid in 
advance and 200 NOK / 25 EUR at the door. (currency-
conversion here if you need it)

the last date for paying in advance is the 20th of june, 
a week before the party. if you haven't paid by then, 
you will have to pay the extra 50 NOK at the door to 
get in.

also; we would like to specify that putting up your tent 
outside of the party- building and refusing to pay 
because "i'm not inside, i don't need the power" will 
not be permitted. the ticket-fee goes to rent both the 
building and the space outside, aswell as to provide 
technical stuff and other services. anyways; 150 NOK 
is cheap - it's nothing. :)

if you know you are coming, but can't/don't want to pay 
in advance, please register by mailing your details to 
silmaril (silmaril@online.no).

make your payment using the following name, address and 
account information. what you need may differ between 
countries, but this should be enough in most cases. 
if your bank still needs more information please contact 
silmaril@online.no.

remember to include your name and email address in the 
payment information-field. oh! please include your 
nick/alias and group when paying/registering, for our 
own record and so that we can add you to the list of 
attendees on the website.

account number: 1644 09 01054
bank: union bank of norway
swift address: ubnonokk

however; if you're planning to come from somewhere 
outside of norway, just let us know and we'll reserve 
a place for you and you can just pay at the door 
since swift-charges suck ass. :)

it's easy to get there - choose your mode of 
transportation:

train from oslo: see www.trafikanten.no, use "Oslo 
Sentralstasjon [tog]" as place of departure and "s 
(tog)" as place of arrival.

train from sweden: get to oslo s. use "train from 
oslo"-instructions above.

car from anywhere: find norway. find out where in 
norway you are. use this cool website to create a 
pleasant route for you to use.

airplane: get to oslo (taxi, airport-train, normal 
train, airport bus - all leaving from oslo airport) 
and then use the "train from oslo"-instructions above.

teleportation: please lock your coordinates to the 
grassy field outside of the partyplace. if everyone 
tries to beam directly into the party we could be 
looking at quite a large mess.
