1. Where and When
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ

Kindergarden 2017-16 will be arranged at Haga Samfunnshus just outside of Oslo, Norway. This is the same party location as Kindergarden 5. We were forced to choose another location than Hellerud this year since the owners has raised the rent to a zillion NOK and only allow 0.1 happenings like KG to be held in the locations every year.

The doors open at 18:00 on Friday the 9th of November.

The doors close at 16:00 on Sunday the 11th of November.

2. Entrance fee

3. Features
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ

The Partyplace:

· There is space for about 200 people. There are ofcourse enough tables and chairs.

· The place has enough power for everyone.

· Showers for everyone! We will of course set separate shower hours for males and females :-)

· Sleeping is allowed everywhere in the building (except, ofcourse, the locations that are sealed/locked and off limits)

· We will set up a information-channel running on a screen inside the hall w/important messages, what movies are running, incoming events etc.

· No fucking stealing of equipment! We've not had problems with this before and we don't want it now.

· Organizers that are not too shy to give messages/host compos etc. ;)

· A 100Mbit network will be set up but don't think this is some kind of lamerparty. We will shut you down if your gaming/leeching gets too excessive. The network will also feature some fileservers that will carry scene-related releases (including the results and releases of this and previous KG's). We'll use the network for voting as well. Please note that we DO NOT offer connection to the internet. Unfortunatly the party locations are not connected.

Happenings, Entertainment and Leisure Activities:

· Duck-hunter of Spaceballs will have an audiovisual consert based on his band, Next Life, which is a well known band in the Norwegian hardcore music scene. His kick-ass music is based on Digibooster modules as backup to his guitar. In addition he will run a video show based on movie clips and Spaceballs demo effects on the bigscreen to complete the experience.

· We will be showing alot of demos/animations/scenestuff (when not running compos of course).

· In a separate room we'll be showing the latest movies on DVD.

· Various suprise events.

· We will set up a Kinderegg stand in the Cafeteria where you can place all your Kinderegg figures!

Food and Beverages:

· A 24 hours open Cafeteria with food (Even the first day) and beverages with low prices. The food will mainly be pizza but we'll also have fresh baguettes and waffles for sale. And ofcourse Kindereggs!

· A gas station is located not far from the party. In addition to stuff for cars they have lot's of food (but it is very expensive!). If you dare to travel 5km you can buy your food in a real shop.

4. How to get there
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ

By car:

·Going by car is a bit complicated. To find your route go to www.statkart.no/visveg. Search for Haga in Nes in Akershus county (Nes(AK)). The party place has no streetadress but it is located 150 meters from Haga trainstation. The trainstation is visible on the map at statkart.no.

By plane:

· Take the plane to Oslo Airport Gardermoen in Norway.

· Follow the instructions for train.

By train:

· Catch the train for Ċrnes at Oslo S and get off at Haga. If your coming from Oslo Airport Gardermoen you have to catch the train for Oslo S, but get off at Lillestrĝm (before Oslo) and change to the Ċrnes train.
See www.nsb.no for timetables and more detailed info.
Haga trainstation is located 150 meters from the partyplace.

By taxi:

· You can actually use a taxi from the airport or from Oslo to KG but that's extremly expensive.

By bus:

· A bus from Ċrnes can be used to arrive just at the doorstep of the partyplace. Bus 889 for Rċnċsfoss. Get off at Haga. Check www.trafikanten.no for timetables.

If you have problems finding the way, be free to phone one of the organizers. Please notice, however, that we can not supply any means of transportation for you or your equipment.

6. The Kindergarden FAQ
ŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻŻ

There will always be something that people wonder about, and will call us voice and nag about. This should answer most of your queries.

Q: Can we reserve tables at Kindergarden for our group?

A: No, sorry. But there should be no need. Just come in time and grab a lot of space.


Q: Can I come with my IBM-Compatible machine and play Quake in network?

A: No! Die! Well actually we wont stop you from bringing a PC and we do hold PC compos, but NO GAME COMPOS! And as said earlier in this invite we will cut you off from the network if your gaming/leeching gets to excessive. Kindergarden is NOT a LAN-party. The main focus is on the demoscene.


Q: Can I bring my microwave oven/fridge/etc?

A: Sure, if you bring your own supply of power. :)


Q: Is there any bustrips to Kindergarden from foreign countries?

A: Check your local newsgroups or BBS'es. We will put information about this on our homepage if we recieve any.


Q: Uhh, like. Do you check our bags?

A: No, not really. We're too lazy.


Q: Can I steal some equipment at the party? I really want that harddisk.

A: Sure. Can we rip out all your nails, beat you to a blood pulp with a baseball bat and put needles in your testicles?


Q: Can we stretch the deadlines?

A: Can we stretch the competitions?


Q: What's this rumour I hear about there being an 18-year limit?

A: Limiting the party to those of eighteen years of age or older allows us to do several things: It let's us avoid the rapidly increasing number of "Quake-lamers" that go to "parties" in Norway. It means everybody acts more responsible and fair. And we don't see the limit as a problem since most of the people attending will be over 18 anyways. If you really wanna come to KG even if you're underaged then contact the organizers and ask for an invitation. This MUST be done in advance, not at the door.
