STORY SO FAR
once upon a time there were five brave men. they gathered their courage and
organized abduction 94-parties. no one was killed. the princess is still in
prison. and the five brave men are back with three of their newfound friends:
ba ba ba ba boooom! abduction 95 is a fact. abduction 95 is cool. abduc-
tion 95 will rule and there's no dragons alive to stop us!
in saturday (10th of june) morning at 0900 will the partydoors open. so why
should you go there? what do we have to offer what assembly or party can't?
hmm, since we are kinda doing this for good time, not for money or fame, we
can guarantee that the friendship will rule in these parties. no shit, the
partyfeatures are gonna be something totally well finished.
the place is a school which can easily hold over 800 people. all the details
aren't ready but hey, we have over six months to do all the dirty work. the
pa-system will be totally awesome, and this time you can actually read all
the greetings from demos;) also we are offering to you 24h open pizza/hambur-
ger/fries/chips/coke-bar inside the place with low prices. as mentioned before,
the videoprojector will have lots of power and the screen will be big.
for sleeping there will be separate rooms away from all the noice, and also
clean showers are one of the many facilities which we are offering to you.
entrance fee will probably be around 80-100 FIM ($18-$22)
