          what is this "evoke" party, you will ask for sure.
         Right after the famous "nexus 3"-meeting in 1996 there were the
          first rumours that there will be a much larger party organized by
          black maiden & the kaoz-team soon. so, when we found a suitable
          location ave had the idea to call the party "evoke", as nexus
          would lead to some irritations among lots of sceners.
         To underline our aim to make a party for the whole scene we were
          looking for a group from the demo/music-scene. and apparently we
          found assign and his guys from ethos9 - one of the most uprising
          intro-crews from germany.
         Together with them we are proud to present one of the german
          pc-platform scene-events this year:

                 evoke will take place on the 30th till 31st of august 1997

         Disclaimer: evoke has _nothing_ to do with the nexus-"party". we
          have a completly different organizing and partyplace.

         Evoke will take place in a nice and comfortable youth-center
          in arnoldsweiler. as most of you probably won't know about this
          village of 4000 inhabitants: arnoldsweiler is close to dueren,
          which is exactly between cologne and aachen, in the western part
          of germany - close to the belgian and dutch border. simply figure
          it out on a map.
         The party-place is close to perfect for our needs: enough space,
          electricity and toilets for a max. of 100 visitors, a sleeping-
          hall, good food and everything else that you expect from a great
          party like this.
         If you are planing to come by car: on highway "autobahn a4" exit at
          "dueren" and turn left (direction to dueren). on that "autostrasse"
          you will pass mcdonalds. right after that there is a large crossing,
          where you turn left to arnoldsweiler. in arnoldweiler you should
          find signs leading you to the partyplace.
         For those who prefer coming by train: exit "dueren hauptbahnhof" and
          if you called the party-hotline (please check latest infos for
          this number) there will be a shuttle to catch you from the station.

         Thanx to our supporters from softcom (http://www.soco.de) we can
          offer you one of the most stable networks ever available at a
          party. there will be _no_ internet-access (evoke is gonna be a
          party - not a lame internet-session). kiddies and lamers won't
          really have much fun here but sceners will.
         This aren't even the final features - there is more to come in
          the next version.

         Yeah, evoke will also include some compos which will be donated
          with prices. right now we are pretty sure that there will be
          the following compos:

                 demo
                 4kb-intro
                 multichannel
                 4channel
                 ansi
                 open
                 wild

          there will be 100% public voting except for the ansi- and
          multichannel-competition. for these compos we will install a
          non-biased jury of well-known painters and musicians which will
          count for 50% - the other 50% will be public voting again. we do
          this after bad experiences at other parties e.g. wired '96 or
          mekka/symposium '97.
