voimassa vain ja ainoastaan partyilla. Soitelkaa meille juuri ennen
partyja ja kysykaa lisaa.
Where and When?
---------------
The Party will be held in Europes biggest indoor amusement park called
Planet FunFun. It is located in Kerava, Finland, approximately 30 km
north of Helsinki. It starts on Friday, 8th of October at 16:00 and ends
on Sunday, 10th of October at 18:00. We can let foreign visitors to
enter as early as 12:00 on Friday, because usually ships from Sweden and
Germany arrive in Helsinki in the morning.
Planet FunFun is an excellent place for demo-parties. We have rented a
big hall for you and your computers and a smaller separate hall for
sleeping. There are also showers next to the smaller hall. And lots of
free parking space.
We have also an "amphitheather", in which we can show competitions and
movies on big screen. There is a couple of hundred seats, so this time
you don't have to stand to see anything.
The best thing though is: The whole amusement park is at your use. The
gadgets in it are in use only 10:00-18:00 Saturdays and Sundays, when it
is open for normal audience also, but we have some special arrangements
with it's restaurants. (Which serve also alcohol...) There will be food
and soft drinks available 24h, and you can also buy proper meals at
19:00-21:00 from a restaurant called Harlin's Diner. Alcohol will also
be served at Harlin's diner at 21:00-24:00, but only for those who have
had their 18th birthday...
Also the arcade-games in it are at use 24h, as well as "Nintendo Land".
Restaurants are of course open also when the amusement park is open for
normal audience.
How to get there
----------------
It is very easy to get to Kerava. If you come by ferry to Helsinki and
have a car with you, just follow the sings "Lahti" which leads you to
the Lahti-highway (E75 or 4). Then turn off the highway at Kerava, and
follow the signs "Planet FunFun". We will also put some Aggressive Party
signs there.
If you come by ferry and don't have a car with you, you can come by
train. Take train with label "K" and get off at Savio-station (the one
before Kerava). You will stand right in front of Planet FunFun. We will
arrange a free transport service from Helsinki to Kerava for computers,
so you don't have to carry your monitor with teeth when you walk to the
station. You can call our info-phone from the ship and ask when the
next car will arrive.
For those who come by plane it is also easy to get to the Kerava, since
there is bus from airport to Kerava. To make your travelling even more
easier we can come and fetch you from the airport if you just inform
us beforehand. It will cost you only 10 FIM.
Entrance fee
------------
Entrance fee is 100 FIM.
Lockers are available for you without any extra cost.
Info-line
---------
We will have a 24-h info line during the party. Its number is
+358-(9)0-294 4023
As you can see, it is Xenits home number. We will just transfer the
calls coming to it to Planet FunFun. If you call it from Finland drop 358
and if from Finland near Helsinki drop 90.
Competitions
------------
There are competitions for Atari, PC and Amiga, and a music (module)
competition for all computers, since protracker mod-format is so widely

our sponsors, which selects the best 20 productions in every competition.
Then the final jury consists of the authors of these productions.
DEADLINE for all competitions is at 14:00 on Saturday, 9th October, 1993.
There may be some minor changes in prizes, if we will get some new

just be a bit more hardware.

non-profit basis, and the food in restaurants is very affordable.
