Payment: The entrance fee if a place is booked beforehand is 100 Finnish marks and if paid at the door it is 125 Finnish marks. As there is not much space it is a good idea to book your place in time. You can do this by sending an international or eurocheque for 100 Finnish marks to the address below. Make it payable to Kristoffer Lawson. The cheque will be given back to you at the door where you should pay 100 FIM in cash. Alternatively you can send cash directly to the address below or by a giro to the following account number: KOP 142850-45618 Along with the payment you should specify the names, emails, handles and groups of everyone you are paying for. If you have an email address you will receive a personal letter of thanks. Bring some form of ID with you to the party so we can check your identity at the door. Girls get in for 20 Finnish marks whether they pay at the door or not. Guys, no pretending to be a girl now! The organizers are intelligent beings, they know the difference. Prizes: Exact prizes will be specified at the party but the party organizers will not be collecting any profit from this party. All money will be given out as prize money.
