1. INTRODUCTION
---------------
Already two years have passed by since the "Error In Line '99" took
place. Now after those two years of recreationtime we are glad to invite
you to the "ERROR IN LINE #2" convention.
With new motivation and from what we learned from "Error In Line '99" we
hope to be able to offer you a convention full of fun, creativity and
interesting experiences.
The convention will be open for all fans of alternative systems, such as
Atari, Unix, Acorn, Amiga, C64. As usual, the convention will take place at
Easter (13.-16.April 2001) in Dresden, Germany.
Following feedback of several "Error In Line '99"-visitors there weren't
many complaints about the partyplace, date, competitions and services.
So generally the convention will take place in a similiar style, but we
have added some more services and competitions for some more pleasure.
We will try our best to arrange a great Easter convention and hope to see you
next Easter in Dresden - back to the underground.
............................................................................
2. TIME
-------
The convention will start: Friday, 13.April 2001, 11:00 AM.
And the official end is: Monday, 16.April 2001, 11:00 AM.
............................................................................
3. THE PLACE
------------
The party will be located in a club namend "GAG18" near the city center of
Dresden. The railway station, tram, bus, mcdonalds and the city center are
easily reachable by foot.
The Partyaddress:
Kellerclub GAG 18 e.V.
Fritz-Loeffler-Str.16
01169 Dresden
Germany
How to get to the Partyplace..
By Car:
There are 2 possibilities to go by car, depending on where you come from:
(1) If you are driving to Dresden on the A4 from "Eisenach" then leave
the motorway at the exit called "Dresden-Altstadt." After that,
keep on following the traffic signs that direct to "Prag/Praha."
Drive on like this for a while as long as you are driving on a street
called "Nuernberger EI." This is a big 4-track street which is partly
divided by a big green isle. Keep on going straight on until you reach
the first traffic light after the green isle. Now turn left at the
crossroad and drive down a little hill. Now you should see an old
Russian Church on the right side. When you have passed this Church
turn left. Now you should be driving on the "Reichenbachstrasse".
Turn right into the next street and look for a parking place. You
are here.
(2) If you are driving to Dresden on the A4 from "Bautzen" then leave
the motorway at the exit "Dresden-Hellerau." Then turn right and
keep on going straigth on until you reach the railwaystation called
"Bahnhof Dresden-Neustadt." This is not the main railwaystation of
Dresden, so take care you don't get confused. Anyway, drive through
under the railway and then turn to the right.
Now you can go straight forward again. You will drive over a big
bridge and after some minutes of driving, you will reach the central
station of Dresden (Dresden Hauptbahnhof) on the right.
Turn right at the next crossroad and drive through under the station.
You have been driving the right way when you do see a "Conrad Elec-
tronics" shop on the right side. Turn right into the next smaller
street and then turn left again at the next crossroad.
Ok, only ca. 200 meters to go straight on now. You are here.
If you are in the area around the partyplace, please park your car some-
where and then we will show you a good parking place. But please do not
drive over meadows, don't drive through restricted areas and don't re-
move any posts! (hey tSCc & Fun, did you read carefully?)
By Train:
Reaching the partyplace if you arrive by train is an easy task. Just leave
the railway station (Hauptbahnhof!) through the Maindoors and turn right.
Now keep on going straight forward. You will walk through under a bridge,
cross a street and you will stand in front of the "Conrad Electronics" -
building. Keep on walking straight on (on its left side) and you will see
a big and green meadow. After ca. 150 meters you should have reached a bigger
building with two yellow phoneboxes in front of it. Now just enter the
door with the "GAG 18" - sign. You are here.
By Plane:
If you are going by plane to Dresden, you will arrive at the airport
Dresden-Klotzsche. From there, some shuttlebus is driving to the central
railwaystation of Dresden. If you are there you can just follow the way
described in the "coming by train" part.
Anyway, if this is too complicated for you then contact us as early as
possible, so we can take you from the airport to the partyplace by car.
We will put up signs so you will find the way easier. If you still have
problems to find the location, try to call us under the following phone
numbers and we will try to help you:
Joerg Anderson 0173/8669431
Nils Feske 0170/9508171
GAG 18 0351/4719085
............................................................................
4. THE PARTY
------------
The location is big enough for 100-150 computerfreaks from many different
countries. The partyplace is comfortable and features a sleeping room, a
bar with fair prices, WCs, showers and is divided in a smoker and a non-
smoker area.
For the entertainment side you can expect:
- the big screen for demo-watching/gaming pleasures
- numerous competitions and prizes
- an internetroom (Linux network)
- a realtime article
- the possibility to play Dart
- the possibility to play Volleyball
- pizzaservice and other foodservices
- the central situation of the location
- a parking area nearby
- shops near the party place
- the opportunity to come even earlier and have a look at Dresden for some
days. But therefore you have to tell us early, so we can try to organize
some place for you.
The entrance fee for all 4 days is 30 DM (15 Euro)
The entrance fee for only 1 day is 10 DM ( 5 Euro)
Still the room is limited, since the computerequipment is taking a lot of
space. In other words we can not gurantee place for everybody, as long as
you are not registered. So please register and make sure you get space for
you and your equipment. The registering fee is 25 DM (12.5 euro).
