1.   The X'97 Takeover Story

As a result of the disappointing Party 5, a group of Dutch demo
sceners decided to do it better themselves and started organising a
demo party, which was shortly thereafter called Takeover. Nostalgia
became the main initiator of Takeover, scouting for a location and
setting up a group of organizers.

Soon an accommodation was found: The Auditorium of the Eindhoven
University. It turned out that the only suitable free date was in
April '97, the same month the annual X party was to be held, organised
by another Dutch demo group, SuccesS. SuccesS, however, were having
severe difficulties with their accommodation, and although they were
still planning to organize X'97, a lot of work had to be done in
little time.

A solution was found without severe difficulties: Nostalgia convinced
SuccesS to join forces, to achieve the main goal: to host the biggest
and most successfull demo scene event ever held in the Netherlands. A
new name was found before long: X'97 Takeover was born.

2.   Information

X'97 Takeover will be held on 4, 5 and 6 April 1997. The party place
will open on Friday evening and will close on Sunday afternoon. The
party will be held in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, in the Auditorium
of the Technical University. Eindhoven is in the south of the
Netherlands, and can easily be reached from France, Belgium and
Germany.

3.   Party features

The party will feature not only a huge big screen capable of true
color in any resolution up to 1280x1024 combined with an equally
huge audio system (enough to blow up your ears), but also a party
network, free internet access and live music performances. Needless
to say there are a number of competitions, including some never
featured on a party before.

The main party hall is large enough to house over 500 party people
and features in-house buffet and 24 hour coffee service.
