Strenghted by a new member they succeeded in finding a location, time and even some prizemoney. For the unbelievers: Somewhere In Holland '95, the event for Non-Commercial Computer Artists is on it's way. We say 'Arf Arf' to J. Crul, a mighty new organiser in the team! : ! _:|:_ What's SIH? o\|/o ---------------------------------------------------------===O===--- - - - You might just not be familiar with SIH. Therefore we hereby give you a small introduction to the event and computer arts. However, if you are familiar with SIH we advice you to continue reading at the next chapter as reading information you already know is extremely boring... About 10 years ago, when the first personal computers (Commodore 64, XT) became affordable for the public, people started practicing computer arts. On the Commodore 64 it was possible to draw up to 3 colours into one grid of 8x8 pixels. A "high" resolution of 160x200 pixels allowed "multi-color high resolution" graphics. A few years later, the Amiga folowed with not less than 4096 colors. The XT owners would have to wait a couple of years for the introduction of VGA and S-VGA. In the meantime, music also became available for the average wizz-kid and today, personal computers allow realtime-calculated raytracing animations, CD-quality sound and TV-like animations. The prize for all this: less than 1000 Dollars. While originally computer artists made simple looking animations, today no-one would be surprised to see a complete video clip or even a small movie. The time involved in making these productions is huge. Artists sometimes work for months to get their product finished. As they don't get paid for their work they have to do the work after they get home from work or school. When a production, normally called a demo(nstration), is finished it's spread all around the world using BBS's, the Internet or regular mail. The viewers of the demos vote for the different aspects of the production (music, graphics, programming) in various charts. The production team can then look up their results. If a production is received well by the public, the names of the creators will rise in the charts and so will their status in the artists-scene. As the artists live all around the world (even the members of one particular producing group) they hardly see eachother. That's why the Somewhere In Holland events are organised every year. People get the change to see eachother once again, meet some old friends and make new ones. Besides that, the attenders have the change to compete in several competitions, contribute to work shops and hear about the latest developments in computer technology. The events are normally called parties, clearly indicating the atmosphere. : ! _:|:_ Facilities... o\|/o ---------------------------------------------------------===O===--- - - - The partyhall features room for over 1000 people easily. Besides that there is room for 500 people in the sleeping hall. 500 Kw takes care of your equipment and a special electrician makes sure it will keep taking care of it. Outside you will find plenty of room to park your car. Demos and videos are shown on a big screen, suspended in the air. Music is provided using a professional audio-installation. When you walk upstairs you will find yourself a nice restaurant, opened 24 hours a day. Things such as descent food, nice prizes and friendly people are verry common there... Still, if you can't find any(!)thing you can always get some advice at the Information. A team of willing people is there to help you find your way trough the party program, the hall or anything. In the end, there are First Aid facilities. People having a medical problem can consult the First Aid section. At the information you can get all info on them. : ! _:|:_ Competitions! o\|/o ---------------------------------------------------------===O===--- - - - Mmm, some interesting part. Well, the party features not less than 6 competitions. In despite of last years, the competitions for the Amiga aren't split into type of chipset anymore. The reason for this simply is that practicly everyone has AGA by now. 1st 2nd 3th --------------------------------------- Amiga Demo: FL.1000,- FL. 750,- FL. 500,- Amiga 40Kb Intro: FL. 500,- FL. 375,- FL. 250,- PC Demo: FL.1000,- FL. 750,- FL. 500,- PC 64Kb Intro: FL. 500,- FL. 375,- FL. 250,- Graphics: FL. 500,- FL. 375,- FL. 250,- 4 Channel Music: FL. 500,- FL. 375,- FL. 250,- : ! _:|:_ How to get there... o\|/o ---------------------------------------------------------===O===--- - - - The hall is called 'Sportscentre De Leysdream' and is located in the south of Holland in a town called Roosendaal. Complete address: Sportscentre De Leysdream Commandolaan 10 4706 CL Roosendaal If you come by car, you will find it very easy to find it (is this double or what?). The hall is just a 5 minutes drive off the highway A58. Taking the exit "Roosendaal Oost" (Roosendaal East) will drive you just around the McDonald's (you can see the M from the highway). Besides you will most likely see boards next to the highway indicating De Leysdream from miles ahead... (well, miles???). Specific information can be found in the disk invitation to be released soon. Using the public traffic you will most likely arrive at Roosendaal Train Station. From there there are busses that drive directly to De Leysdream. Public bus number 32 will bring you at a 300 metres distance from the hall. At the entrance you will find a nice couple of people that will very friendly ask, but still urge you to pay the entrance fee of 50 Dutch Guilders. Maybe a bit expensive for a Dutch party but then again, 3 days, lotsa fun, nice prizes... What else would you wish for? : ! _:|:_ The facts o\|/o ---------------------------------------------------------===O===--- - - - Just for the record here are the facts again.. Name: Somewhere In Holland '95 Location: Sports Centre De Leysdream Commandolaan 10 4706 CL Roosendaal The Netherlands Date: 8-9-10 July 1995 Entrance fee: 50 Dutch Guilders No foreign currencies will be accepted. : ! _:|:_ More information o\|/o ---------------------------------------------------------===O===--- - - - Within days, a paper flyer will be available with information. Also invitations on disk will become available for Amiga and PC within a short time. In the meanwhile you can find information on practically every bigger BBS in Holland. Main site is: The Southern Tribe: +31-4160-38606 Soon a WWW page will go online. At that time we will inform you about that by BBS and Internet information...

Watch the RAW #7 intro very carefully. There's a big text on the background while the tunnel is running. Does the text realy say "We're nuts, We're back, SPB'95" ???? Tsk, tsk... and people kept asking us...
