----------------------------------------------------- -* Official invitation to the MEGA-LEIF-CONVENTION *- ----------------------------------------------------- This is the official invitation to the enormous and already famous MEGA- LEIF-CONVENTION. This is an international Atari and PC (other computers are also welcome) demo-convention held by Electra in Fyrisskolan/Uppsala /Sweden. It begins at 18:00 (local swedish time) on Thursday the 16th of April, and lasts until 15:00 on Monday the 20th of April. In the basement of the school we have an old Physical-activities hall that'll serve as a silent sleeping room. You'll also find free showers in the same area. At about 5 minutes walk from the school you'll find the famous Fyrishov recreation centre, so bring your bathing clothes! At about 10 minutes walk in another direction you'll find the centre of Uppsala with restaurants, shops and Macdonald's. There will of course be loads of competitions too, that's the reason we hired an RGB projector! And what will we do with the RGB projector before the compos? We`ll show movies and demos on it of course! The competitions (held by us and TOS Magazine) are: * best demo (1 Meg STE) * best picture * best music (modules and blip-blop) * othello/reversi tournament (your program will play against the others, you'll get the exact rules at the party) * best PC demo Prices in the different competitions: * first price in the Atari demo competition will be an Atari TT * in the PC competition we'll throw 2000 SEK (333 USD) at the winner * prices in the other competitions will be Quantum hard disks, a high speed modem, an Amiga, an Atari and a colour monitor. At the party we'll sell coke and you'll be able to order pizzas at special reduced prices. You'll also be able to buy other computer- related items (SIMMs and empty disks for example) on the party. The following Atari crews has already decided to attend: Electra Omega The Carebears ULM The Respectables Electronic Images Sync TEX Legacy Mystic The Blackcats Scum of the Earth Alcoholica Delta Force Synergy The Lost Boys Unit 17 EPA The Syndicate Lazer PC-Crews: Cascada The Codeblasters The Space Pigs This is absolutely not a complete list, we get new answers all the time. If there are enough good screens we'll compile a party-demo. Also every good group must bring a lame demo for the ultimate lame demo. People from outside Sweden can hire a monitor for about 150 SEK (25 USD). The admission to the convention is 90 SEK (15 USD), for girls it's free. How do I get to the convention? If you come by plane to Arlanda (big airport outside Stockholm) we'll try to fetch you there. If you arrive at Arlanda at such a bad time that we can't pick you up you could take bus number 801 to Uppsala central station or a taxi directly to the school (Fyrisskolan, Uppsala). Please remember that taxi is VERY expensive in Sweden. If you come by train you will arrive at Uppsala central station. If you have lots of luggage we'll try to pick you up. However, if you feel like you could take a bus then try bus number 9, 12 or 13. They all pass the school. You could also take a taxi, but it's expensive. If you come by car please contact us and we will send a map. Please contact us ASAP and let us know how many monitors you want, if you want to be fetched and where you want to be fetched.
