Abduction'97 - The Cow Strikes Back                                  
Very Unofficial and Incomplete Info



   I know what you're thinking... Why bother releasing info if it's
   "very incomplete and unofficial"? The reason is simple: the people
   have been asking a lot of questions from us. This file should give
   some answers.


Where and when?

   Date:   6-8th of June, 1997
           (Note that this year Provinssirokki and hugely popular car
            races are not on the same weekend as Abduction!)
   Place:  Oulun Urheilutalo in Oulu, Finland
           (This is pretty sure.)


Features?

   We don't want to talk about the features yet - a lot at least.   
   The usual promises like "enough room", "enough electricity",
   "quiet sleeping rooms" and so on apply of course.

   As usual, girls, women, foreigners and senior citizens :) will
   get in for free!
     

Compos?

   Yes! This year we will have more compos than earlier. The following
   compos will be arranged for sure (we have also planned other compos):

      Amiga Demo
      Amiga Intro (64KB)
      PC Demo
      PC Intro    (64KB)
      Graphics    (Amiga & PC)
      Music       (Both 4-channel and multichannel)
      Wild

   The rules will not change very much from the last year and they will
   be released pretty soon.

   One big (and obvious) change is that we will use Pentium in PC compos.
   Amiga compo machine will be again A1200/060, but an alternative (slo-
   wer) machine will probably be available.


Misc. stuff?

   Thanks to Mass (especially Kraku) for the preinvitation intro.

   The invitation intro (for both PC and Amiga) itself and the final,
   official and complete invitation text will be released in April/May.

   The Leningrad Cowboys and Red Army Chorus will throw a gig in Oulu
   on Friday (6th of June, 1997) evening! More information about the
   concert (How much the tickets cost? Where to get them and how?) be
   on our homepage as soon as we know more about it. We will arrange
   the party schedule so that nothing important will happen at the same
   time.
   (Please note that we can't guarantee that the organizers of the
    concert will not change the date or cancel the event.)


Homepage?

   The most recent information will always be found on WWW. Our homepage
   will be up in a couple of weeks (hold your horses!):
