┌┴ I. Introduction / About Mekka '96 ┴┐
╘═════════════════════════════════════╛
No long introduction... There will be a new Demo-Party in germany.
We do not expect it to be GiGANTIC or GREAT... we want it to be small
and special. We try to connect a little group of talented guys, cheap
entrance fees and some kewl prices for the Compos.
The main intention of MeKKa is, to create a GATHERING, with some WiRED
attenders who'll make it THE PARTY of the year.
We expect you to go on a pilgrimage to Mekka'96 and have fun you never
thought about.
╒════════════════════╕
┌┴ II. Where and When ┴┐
╘══════════════════════╛
The Party will be held near Hamburg, the second largest city in Germany.
We will rent a congress center with room for about 700 persons and 500
computers.
Date: Friday 29 to Sunday 31 of March 1996.
The doors will be opend on Friday at 6pm.
-» Read "DEADLINE.!!!" for further information «-
Location: Veranstaltungszentrum "BURG" Seevetal in Hittfeld/Germany
That's very close to Hamburg.
The center lies between 3 motorways so it's the easiest way to get there
by car/bus, but to come by train and airplane will be possible, too,
although it is more expensive.
