BünZli #4 - Swiss Art Party  ▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀  4x4 = 1st birthday not to miss

INFORMATION AND INVITATION FILE

INTRODUCTION

Once more,  it gets cut down...  Maybe  I should begin  typing  those  lines
before 01.00 in the morning.  But as my brain is dry now,  after the efforts
of Analysis exercises, you shouldn't expect much creativity anyway.

Well, maybe you remember  BünZli #3 party,  being hold in Bern,  in a vast
room, featuring peace, love and happiness, with better mood and better music
than Woodstock...  exercising peace by blasting other Quakes,  love by mani-
pulating with network  terminators and happiness by  NOT  getting  disturbed
by loud speakers?!  BünZli #3 - the party providing you with REAL coke, pro-
viding US with biiig pizza profits!

And now,  the chance has come,  to slam the profits,  to show networks run
better, to give your life a sense and to shoot down others again!

BünZli #4 emerges,  one year aged,  still with great ideas.  Come and meet
other sceners,  touch sysops,  enslave coders, search composers  and inspect
our graphicians! Again, we offer you the unique chance to meet guys addicted
to computers (nearly)  as  much as you are,  to compete in fair competitions
and to win fabulous prizes [really, are they..?]!

IMPORTANT STUFF

Doors opening  : Saturday, 1st of March 97, 14.00

Doors closing  : Sunday, 2nd of March 97, 10.00

Location       : Hotel Kreuz, Zeughausgasse, Bern

Entrance fee   : 25.- sFr, for rent, coke and prizes

Timetable      : 14.00    doors opening
23.00    deadlines
00.00    competitions
0?.00    prizegiving
10.00    doors shutting

As you might  see on the map  (BUENZ04.JPG),  this is  at the  same  place
where BünZli #2 was hold.  It's no  problem to  stop your  car in  front  of
the hotel in  order to unload  it,  but  you probably  won't find  a parking
lot directly besides the hotel.  Note the blue zone areas on the map (marked
with "blz", north and south).

Again, we remember you the option that you might come by train -  it's not
a big problem  with computers  as the luggage  cars feel  perfectly well  in
in hotel rooms (ask Nuker for details).

MINOR THINGS

Well, be remembered,  that this  is a computer party,  and therefore Zengo
recommends you to  take your computer with you.  So do I.  But this  is also
a scene meeting,  so don't mind if  you can't bring your equipment  with you
as meeting is more important than gaming!

BünZli #4 strongly depends on the people joining this happening.  So don't
hesitate to bring your  friends and other guys  with you that  somehow might
be interested in the demo scene.

Note that we've got a web-page,  too.  If you're lucky enough to have your
phone-bill paid, enter "www.space.ch/scene/buenzli" for up-to-date infos.

Har, and now some minor points you've got to know:

- We strongly reccomend you to bring your headphones with you as
you might encounter problems listening to your sound while public
noise is quite high...

- You're kindly invited to bring YOUR music along to play on public
HiFi. If you can't agree on the music in some democratic manner,
the system will shut down. (or we'll put on music, PANIC!)

- Smoking is NOT allowed in the conference room itself
(But we LOVE these circles right in front of... anyway)
