              Uherske Hradiste, Czech Republic, 19-20.8.2000

\_/~\_/| What is it ?
       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     Fiasko 2k  Demoparty will be held  for the third timer.  We don't
     expect many foreign visitors, but as Fiasko is getting bigger and
     more popular  every year, it might  be an opportunity for  you to
     learn something about our scene and get new friends!

\_/~\_/| When and where ?
       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     Fiasko 2k will  take place in "Orlovna" on  "Marianske namesti" -
     the main square in Uherske Hradiste.  It is scheduled to start at
     18th August,  10am and will  go non-stop until 19th  August, 4pm.
     Uherske Hradiste is located near  the eastern border of the Czech
     Republic in southern Moravia.  Distance to nearest cities: Prague
     - 270km, Bratislava - 140km Wien - 140km.

     Orlovna and  Marianske namesti are  easily accessible by  car and
     the  car-park  is  nearby.  The room  is  renovated,  clean,  and
     air-conditioned.  Other  facilities  include  non-smoking  cafee,
     toilets, small garden, room for sleeping and showers.

\_/~\_/| Prohibition and entrance fee ?
       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     Smoking is forbidden inside the  buildings (this does not include
     the  garden). Drinking  alcohol, screaming,  using drugs  and any
     illegal activities are  forbidden in the main  room. Visitors who
     cannot  control  themselves  might  be  banned  from  the  party.
     Organizers are not liable for anything stolen or lost.

     Everyone can bring as much computer hardware as they want, but it
     is recommended to  book your place and  tickets at fiasko@prg.cz.
     The entrance fee is 139 CZK (4 Euros).

\_/~\_/| What about network ?
       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     Network  will be  10Mbit/s ethernet  with TP  and BNC  cables and
     definitely much  faster than  it was last  year. Computer  with a
     working network  card and drivers is  a all you need  to connect.
     Fixed  local  IP  addres  will be  assigned  to  every  computer.
     Connection to the Internet will be available, but its details are
     not  known yet.  But  even  the local  intranet  will offer  some
     popular services:

      WWW - mirrors of choosen scene pages

      FTP - several gigabytes of demos, graphics and music!

      IRC - for the real IRC addicts :-)

\_/~\_/| What about voting system ?
       ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
     All visitors  can vote  for the winners.  Voting system  is quite
     simple (paper),  but our  new computerised  votepaper recognition
     system  will allow  us  to  count the  results  in  less than  10
     minutes.
