1. GENERAL ISSUES
1.1 What is Escape 2001?
Escape 2001 is a demoscene party held for the second time
ever. Escape features 150 computerplaces and 120 normal
tickets. Compared to last year we are slightly bigger.
1.2 Where is Escape held?
The partyplace will be the same where e2k was held ie. Olari
highschool in southern Espoo, Finland. The partyarea has
moved from the auditorium to the dining hall which is bigger.
The school was built in 1993 and it gives great opportunities
for the event. You can check the address and driving
instructions from CONTACT.
1.3 When does the party take place?
Escape is held on the second weekend of May, 11th to 13th,
2001.
1.4 Tickets
Ticket sales start on 22.02.2001 (DD.MM.YYYY) Ticket sales
continue until tickets have either been sold out or when it's
not wise to mail them (that would be few weeks before the event).
Like last year, we are unable to sell tickets from door. You
will just have to buy them forehand. Don't whine, there's
nothing we can do about it.
Computer places cost 80 FIM. Normal tickets (the ones
without computerplace) cost 50 FIM. For the (unfortunately)
small group of female sceners we offer a 20 FIM entrance
ticket. There is no discout from computer place tickets,
they cost 80 FIM to all of you. Handling fee will be added
to prices.
For the real oldschool demosceners and otherwise active scene-
people we offer a few free entrance tickets. If you think you
should get one send an application to grazer@stc.cx. There
will be no free computerplaces for you, though. Just entrance
tickets.
If the computerplaces are sold out quickly we might be able to
arrange some additional computerplces. These places would be
sold rigth before the event or at the event.
NOTE! If we sell extra computer places they won't include
entrance ticket. You will have to order one from the Internet
forehand.
2. MORE SPECIFIC ISSUES
2.1 Different kinds of tickets
There is three kind of tickets:
* Entrance ticket 50 FIM
* Female entrance ticket 20 FIM
* Computer place (includes entrance ticket) 80 FIM
+ handling fee
2.2.1 What do the tickets include?
For all of you:
* Screen. Size has not been confirmed yet. Probably
something like 3x4m.
* Raves
* 10 toilets. Use them often, please.
* Drink machine selling coffee, tea, juice,
cappuccino and cocoa.
* Candy machine. Mars, Twix, Snickers, Bounty and
Dove.
* Infodesk/Helldesk/Netdesk. If we're lucky.
* Sound. 2x350W (2x15" middle + 2x18" subwoofer).
We'll make sure the soundsystem bothers no one.
* "Quiet" and small sleepingarea.
* Voting for everyone!
Computerplace:
* One electric plug. 230W, 50Hz. Don't bring any
other kind of equipment. Powerusage may have to
be limited.
* One RJ-45 plug. We don't support BNC. Partynet and
Internet should work at speed of 100Mbit/sec. Bring
your own cords.
* A wooden chair. It's non-ergonomic and non-comfortabe =).
We suggest bringing your own chair, though no sofas or
otherwise large seating equipment are allowed.
* 65-70 cm x 70-80 cm of table space. All tables have the
same amount of space per person.

2.3 Raves
We are trying to get some djs to play music at raves. Our
goal is to get some good djs and lots of ravers. We try to arrange
lots of effects and great audio equipment. Djs will play at the
times marked to the schedule and possibly other times, too.
We aren't quite certain about the raves because we don't
know if people want them. We are also short on djs.
2.4 Network
Everybody buying a computer place has an opportunity to
connect their computers to our partynetwork and to the Internet.
Partynet should work at the speed of 100Mbit/sec and Internet
at 10Mbit/sec.
We have a switch-based network but on some tables we think we
have to use some hubs, too. You have to take care that you have
enough network cable (RJ-45) with you. Suggested length is ca. 10m.
Voting at compos is done via the partynet. Though we can't promise
that the net is up and running. We try our best.
2.5 Food. (true party-people don't eat, right?)
At the proximity of the partyplace you can find many pizzerias,
restaurants, shops and bars. We'll make a list of places that
sell food on our website.
It's advicable to bring some food with you. If so you should
consider bringing a refridgerator, too. The other option is to
walk to the center of Olari where you can go to a shop or some
restaurant kind of thing.
