(-------\/----------------------------------------- introduction    ---------)

            when all the visitors had left and the youth-center in 
            arnoldweiler was clean again, all of us felt that evoke '97 was 
            something special. not only for the organizers but mostly for the 
            visitors. all the positive resonance we got on irc, in fido, 
            through email and the release of dpi's party-report simply forced 
            us to plan for a second edition.
            in december the organizing-team started its work: discussion on 
            general questions and more detailed issues. what could have been
            better? what was cool? things got really busy from march on
            (especially as we couldn't find a suitable location at first) but
            since mekka/symposium the first information is available to the
            public. a little updating was done for black maiden #17.

(-------\/----------------------------------------- location        ---------)

            one of the cities with a very strong european touch is going
            to welcome the scene at evoke nine eight. aachen, close to the
            belgian and dutch border.
            the partyplace will be the mensa of the university of aachen,
            called 'theatersaal'. it is located right in the heart of
            the city, in turmstrasse.
            the entrance fee for this year will be DM 25,--.
            girls get in for free. all the money which is left after
            substracting our expences is used for the prices.

            car
              the most easy way to come to evoke nine eight by car would be 
               to exit autobahn (highway) a4 at 'aachen-laurensberg'. turn 
               right, direction 'aachen-stadt' (city), on kohlscheider
               strasse, which later turns into roermonder strasse. be careful:
               stick to the tempo-limit as there is a radar-trap on the way.
               after (ca.) 3 km - shortly before a large crossing - you will
               find turmstrasse on the right. stop your car in turmstrasse and
               try to find a parking-slot. if you have come to the end of 
               turmstrasse without finding one, turn left at the crossing and
               - just some meters later - right on the parking ground. take 
               your stuff and go into the location. after you have checked in 
               you have to drive your car to bend-platz, a large and free 
               parking ground in khlwetterstrasse. Parking is not allowed 
               neither in turmstrasse nor on the parking ground opposite of
               the theatersaal.
               if you should happen not to have much equipment simply drive to 
               bendplatz (kuehlwetterstrasse) and park there.
               for those who didn't get it there will be signs guiding to the 
               location. just as last year. a map is available on our homepage
               and will be included with the next official infofile.

            train
              if you're coming by train exit aachen hauptbahnhof. from there
               on you have to take the bus. the bus-station you will find
               right when you exit the station. every 15 minutes lines 3 and
               13 will take you to the location (do not cross the street or
               you will go in the wrong direction). after 20 minutes the bus
               will stop at ponttor. exit the bus, turn towards the crossing
               and turn left then. on the other side of the road you will find
               the sign 'mensa', the location of the evoke.
               another solution could be to exit aachen west. from the station
               go to inzestrasse, turn left and you will find the mensa-sign
               again. prefer this solution if you don't have lots of equipment
               and if you find a train which stops directly at aachen west.
               in any case please contact dv8 for more information. in some 
               cases we could catch you from any of the mentioned stations.

            plane 
              try to book a trip to 'maastricht-aachen'. other airports 
               could be 'luettich', 'koeln/bonn' or 'duesseldorf'. in every
               case, please contact the organizers.

            more info
              either check out or homepage or wait for the forthcoming
               versions of this infofile. for more information on aachen
               you can contact the 'verkehrsverein bad aachen' at
               acinfo@t-online.de

            as for the moment we have three companys to support evoke. still,
            we are in close contact to some major hard- and software
            producers.


            micrografx
              micrografx donated a copy of their 'windows draw 6'. thanx.

            scala
              scala are going to donate two copies of their wonderful
               multimedia-system called 'scala multimedia mm200'. we are going
               use this program to show announcements on the bigscreen, by the 
               way. 

            softcom
              just as last year they offer bandwith and capacity for our 
               webpage. take a look at their site at http://www.softcom.de

(-------\/----------------------------------------- competition     ---------)

            besides meeting friends, it's the compos that make us come
            to parties like evoke.
            some things about the compo went really wrong last year. we dont
            want to beautify this. as we hope to have learned from our faults,
            we made some changes to the rules. for example, there will be 100%
            public voting and - for each compo - a dedicated organizer.
            just like last year we will give away all the money as prices,
            which was left after paying our bills.

            compo-pc
             . right now, we are not sure about the final configuration of
               the compo-pc. but it will be a pentium 166 with 32mb ram and
               a gus, at least.
             . as for the beamer the maximum resolution is 640*480. 
              watch out for the forthcoming infofiles.

            general rules
             . the competitor must be present at the party. in case of a
               group-production, at least one member of the group.
             . every attender may contribute with a maximum of one entry
               for every compo.
             . entries must not have been released before and they must
               be handed in before each deadline (on 3.5" or zip-disc).
               3.5"-discs will not be given back to the contributors!
             . the organizers have the right to cancel a compo, if there
               arent enough competitors.
             . if there are too many entries for a compo there will be a
               preselection.
              the organizers reserve the right to make changes to the
               competition rules and to disqualify any entry which is not 
               suitable for the competition for any reason.
