VI MERCHANDISE, PRIZES & MONEY ISSUES --------------------------------------------- as the party is freeparty, it rocks ofcourse but that also means we got very limited budget - or rather to say not at all. that leads to some problems, in this case we are still trying to get cheaper place... at least we got almost all the technical gear needed for free (like technics sl1200 + mixer, speakers and amplifier and perhaps projector too). we will see what we will be able to manage once again - and there will be donations-box at the party, so you will be able to donate as much as you can and wish. prizes - no big bucks definitely, but ofcourse diploma and we will try to design some cups too. finally, t-shirts will be available, so if you wish to have one, let us know (cause we need to know how many of these should be made). the price could be somewhere around $10, maximum $15 but more likely not more than $10 (depends on number as well). and, stickers, i hope.
