- 1. INTRODUCTION
- ---------------
-
-
- "ERROR IN LINE '99" is a demoscene-related convention (or party), which will
- continue the traditional line of Easter conventions. The convention will
- mainly focus on alternative computersystems, as Acorn, Atari, Amiga and C64.
-
- Our general aim is to offer a good surrounding for a meeting of demo-
- sceners and computerfreaks. So, you can expect some days of interesting
- conversations and creativity. But do not forget, we can just offer a good
- surrounding.
-
- However, we hope to make this convention a remarkable and funny event and
- we will try to keep it as noncommercial as possible.
-
- So let's have a look at the facts:
-
-
- ............................................................................
-
- 2. THE TIME
- -----------
-
-
- The convention will start on: Friday, 2.April 1999, 03:00 PM.
- And the official ending is: Monday, 5.April 1999, 11:00 AM.
-
-
- ............................................................................
-
- 3. THE PLACE
- ------------
-
-
- We have chosen a very atmospheric and comfortable location, which is situa-
- ted in the centre of Dresden.
- For instance it takes 5 minutes to walk to the central railway station or
- 15 minutes to walk to the historical core of our town, which is really worth
- a visit, by the way.
-
-
-
- HOW TO GET TO THE PARTY PLACE?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
-
- If you want to come by CAR, there are TWO POSSIBILITIES how to get to the
- party place:
-
-
- I.
-
- If you take the A4 from "EISENACH", then leave the motorway at the EXIT
- "DRESDEN-ALTSTADT." Then always follow the traffic signs which lead to "PRAG".
-
- After a while, you will reach a street, called "NUERNBERGER EI." This street
- is easily recognizable, because it is a big street (4 tracks), which is
- divided by a big "GREEN ISLE".
- Go straight there, till you reach the first TRAFFIC LIGHT AFTER the "NUERN-
- BERGER EI". Then turn LEFT here (direction: Hauptbahnhof (central station).
-
- Drive down the hill and you will see a RUSSIAN CHURCH on the right side.
- Turn LEFT, after you passed this Russian Church. Now you are driving on the
- "Reichenbachstrasse".
-
- Finally turn RIGHT into the next street and look for a parking place.
- Then follow the SIGNS to get to the location.
-
-
- II.
-
- The second possibility, if you come by car, is to take the A4 from BAUTZEN.
- Leave the motorway at the EXIT "DRESDEN-HELLERAU". Then turn RIGHT and always
- go STRAIGHT till you reach the BAHNHOF NEUSTADT (railwaystation "Neustadt").
- Drive through under the railway and turn RIGHT.
-
- Then go STRAIGHT again. You will drive over a big BRIDGE and after some
- minutes of driving, you will reach the HAUPTBAHNHOF (central station). Turn
- RIGHT here and drive through under the station.
-
- Then you will see a "CONRAD ELECTRONICS" - building on the right side.
- After this building, turn RIGHT into the next small street. Turn LEFT again, when you
- reach the next crossroad.
- Go straight then, and after ca. 200 meters, look for a parking place.
- Then follow the signs to get to the parking place.
-
-
-
- If you come by TRAIN, you will find the party place very easily. Either ask
- people for way or just use the following description:
-
- Leave the railway station through the MAINDOORS. Then turn right. Go
- straight forward and you will walk under a bridge. Then you will cross a
- street and you will stand in front of the "CONRAD" - building.
- Now just walk along the building on its left side and you will automatically
- come on a sidewalk, situated beside a bigger street.
- Now just go straight. If you see a meadow on the right side after some 50 m
- walk, you will be on the right way. Keep on going straight and you will
- see two yellow phonebooths on the light right side. In face of those 2 phone-
- booths you will be able to see the party place's entrance doors, beside a
- sign "GAG 18".
-
- We will put up SIGNS, so you will find the way easier.
-
-
-
- And if you want to come by PLANE, you should inform us as early as possible,
- so that we can take you from the airport Dresden-Klotzsche to the party
- place by car.
