      We would like to invite everyone to the SCEneST#3 party, which       
      will be held in the usual place at the usual time in 1997 too.       
      This year we would like to break that magic number - 1000            
      people - which has only been reached at 3 parties. In 1995 600,      
      in 1996 900 people attended SCEneST, besides this, considering       
      that we are expecting a fair number of foreign attenders, this       
      magic number doesnt seem unbreakable. But of course the number       
      of attenders is just one the many things. We would like you          
      to feel good during all three days of the party, and we hope         
      that you will lift the quality of the party with your great          
      productions.

               side and the right side of 240h will be the back right      
               side. We hope that a lot of you will use the SURROUND       
               capabilities handed to you, and that you will give the

      and the quantity of all the productions into account when            
      presenting the prizes to the first placed productions in             
      all the categories. This excludes the main compo (the PC             
      demo compo), in which we hope that there will be the same            
      number and quality of demos as there were last year. Because         
      of this the prizes are SURE TO BE the following:

      hungarian parties will inspire the democreaters to make some         
      new productions. We would like to award cash as other compo          
      prizes too, but this will only depend on the number of entry

      Since we can not supply enough power extenders, we would             
      like everyone to bring an extender that will have at least           
      one free space for the people sitting next to them to connect        
      their extender to. This way the whole school can be powered          
      up very simply. Please dont kick these rules because if you          
      do, then you are going to cause this chain to break and you          
      will be punched in the nose rightfully by the people sitting         
      next to you.                                                         
                                                                           
      We can only fulfill your table reservations if you arrive until      
      the afternoon of the opening day. Otherwise, counting on the         
      large number of attenders (and the lack of space) this will          
      not be solvable. If you can not come on the first day, and you       
      would like to bring a machine, then we advise you to ask someone     
      who comes on friday, to reserve more places for you.                 
                                                                           
      Turn OFF all of your sound sources during all of the compos          
      (except Beethoven, Quake and RPG). We would like to ask you that     
      if the compos dont interest you (although that's what the party      
      is for) to watch the time they are on, so that we wont have to       
      warn you about disturbing the compos.                                
                                                                           
      Do not leave your sleeping bag at home because you will be           
      able to sleep on it in 1 or 2 halls designated for this.             
                                                                           
      The consumption of alcohol is forbidden during the party. Drunk      
      people will be carried out by the security guards - or if that       
      doesnt work, by the police.                                          
                                                                           
      Smokeing is also forbidden inside the whole school. We ask           
      everyone to go out in front of the school to smoke.                  
                                                                           
      Everyone please take care of your belongings, because some youths    
      feel that it's useless to buy new hardware when they can get         
      everything for free here. If we (or you) should catch one of         
      these people then tell the security guards immediately and they      
      will hand the person over to the police.                             
                                                                           
      Please attach a FILE_ID.DIZ file to all of the competing materials   
      that contains the following:
