  MAiN#4 - ABOUT THE PARTY
startbig
  MAiN#4 - Arles demoscene awards 2009 - 2.- 4.10.2009
La Grande Halle d'Arles - Avenue Victor Hugo - 13200 Arles - France


Arles can be directly reached by TGV - French high speed train - twice a day from Paris Gare de Lyon in less of 4 hours. Many other TGV arrive each day in Avignon station, relayed by shuttles to Arles station. Arles station is near 5 min to Grande Halle. To come by plane we recommend to fly to Marseille, Nîmes or Montpellier, these airports are supported by cheap-flight companies. We want to arrange a kind of shuttle service from the airports, please stay tuned for further informations.

TGV Traintickets from e.G. Lille, Marne la Vallée, Lyon and from Paris to the Trainstation TGV Avignon can be bought online and in best case you pay only 19 Eur for them (depends on time of reservation) :  www.idtgv.com

To book your cheap flight ticket we recommend :  www.easyjet.com or www.ryanair.com 

The MAiN#4 - ADA 2009 is a demoscene party, which is practically a meeting of an underground computer art community known as the demoscene. For more information about the demoscene itself, read the appropriate Wikipedia article : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demoscene

What to bring to the party?

Yourself, obviously. And you can try to get more people with you :)

Your entry to any of the compo categories (optional, but recommended).

Also optional, but your computer. Or any other electronic device - be it either from the last millenium or high-end - which might gain the interest of others.

If you're going to have your computer with you, don't forget to bring a power strip, and if you want to connect to the wired LAN, a UTP cable as well. There will be Wi-Fi as well.

Enough money

 

The party rules

Minors. Minors under 16 years old are required to have written and signed parental permission to participate in the party.

Smoking is only allowed outside the building
, and in the garden! Smoke might set off the built-in firealarm system, and that's really something you don't want to happen...

Drinking alcoholic drinks is allowed, but please, drink only a reasonable amount. Drinking too much alcohol could ruin your and other people's party as well. If you misbehave, insult other people, damage the equipment or the building you will be thrown out of the party immediately, without any prior warning.

The use of pornographic, violent or racist contents is prohibited. Violators will be thrown out of the party without warning.

Consuming other drugs or even getting them to the party area is strictly forbidden, and will result in an immediate ban from the current and any future parties. No prior warnings. Just respect french law, and you won't have troubles.

Using the partynetwork is free of charge, and there's no registration. However, we'll monitor the traffic on the network. If your activities on the network offend anyone, or violate some law, you'll be removed first from the network, then from the party as well. Enhancing your monthly download rate at the party also count as offending activities. Don't do it. By connecting to the network, you also accept its rules.

No kitchen equipment or other weirdo devices are allowed to be connected to the electric network. The only exceptions from this rule are: fans, because we expect a quite warm weather during the party. But overloading the network will result in a power outtage, and you really don't want to cause that. We mean it...

The organizers are not responsible for any equipment you bring to the party. Luckily, there was no theft or intentionally damaged equipment at french parties since years, and we'd like to keep it that way.

We would like to notify the problematic people again: we have security cams at the place, so all your misbehavior is recorded. So even if we don't discover it at the party, we will find you later. Promised.
