- Official infofile for abduction 95 sceneparties, dated 5.5.1995
-
- 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 two 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 FRIDAY (9th of june) at 0900 will the partydoors open with the most
- authentic scene athmosphere there is since 1991. Party will be a tribute
- to peace and friendship, not a obligatory place to be in order to win some
- money. But since competitions offer best entertainment in these types of
- happenings, there will be the usual compos for demos, intros, graphics and
- music. This year also amiga is represented with in compos and in partyplace
- itself. These parties are held in Rovaniemi, the nothern city of Finland. The
- place is a school called Korkalovaara's High School, which can easily hold
- over 800 people. There's a big hall which will be that main partyplace. Here
- will the compos take place with big screen and powerful (appr. 1500 watts)
- pa-system. 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 be 80 FIM ($16) but if you contact us in advance
- the fee will be only 60 FIM ($12) (at least a week before Abd.). There's also
- a transportation between train and bus-stations and the partyplace for a
- small fee (gasoline, drivers time, etc)...

- PRICES
- Since the rules of society (Abduction organizing r.y., mostly containing members
- of Mindprobe and people who are helping us) which organizes these parties
- prevent us to collect income, will all the money gathered from the entrance fees
- and hardware sponsored by various companies shared in competition prices
- (expenses deducted first, of course). Following values indicate the most
- pessimistic estimate we managed to make, since the Pc demo main price (for
- example) will probably rise somewhere near 7000 FIM. Following values are in
- Finnish marks. 4.22 FIM = $1 (april 1995).
