Howdy! Bartman/Abyss again on the keys to bring you some hardcore stupid poses from The Party 7, Aars, Denmark, 27-29 Dec 1997. This is where the journey all started for most Abyss members: In Munich, Southern Germany. What you see in the picture on the left is the map of the public transport in munich. I could tell you where I live, but you won't find it on the map, because the quality of Pink's digital camera is way too low... Up next are some photos of people traveling with our Party-bus, that has been organized by Weasel, and it was really cool. |

This is Wintermute/Interactive: He provided us with a Nintendo64 during the Party, that really ruled as we played Diddy Kong Racing with 4 players against each other or Yoshi's Story Book, although it was quite hard if you don't understand japanese language 8-) |

On this photo you see Weasel, our bus-organizer; okay, seems to be a really stupid camera perspective, but you know, only we bring you the stupidest poses... No, seriously, he did a damned good job, we had a 4-star-bus (some 50 seats) with air condition, a wiener-grill, coffee-machine, vcr, toilet, soft drinks and friendly bus-drivers. It really rules watching 6 hours of "Kalkofe's Mattscheibe" (Germans should know that), "Braindead" or orher cool movies... |

This is Dexter/Abyss, who turned 20 at 27-Dec-1997. He coded the Amiga 40k-Intro "Cruisin'", which later came #2 in the Amiga Intro-competition at TP7. I still hear him saying "I don't wanna code that shit, it's not gonna be cool anyway", well maybe he was right, but at least he made some money 8-) |
|
That's Sunny, the only female scener in our bus; and I don't think there were that many on the Party either. So she was a kinda attraction in the bus and at TP7. That's, at least, what I saw. If you want to get in touch with her (whatever reason), visit #amigascne on Ircnet and look for nughtygrl_. |

Poet/Abyss, the world's best coder (TM), took a self-snapshot; Pink's camera has a 180° rotatable objective, so you can do such crazy stuff... Although he did not release anything for a long period he told me that he wants to do something for Symposium 1998. Till then you can call him Mr. Quake! |
|
This guy is called Pete if I'm right, and he made the famous C64-CD-ROM-interface, where you can connect your CD-player or Discman to C64 and load lotsa games or demos from CD with Turbotape-speed... If you want to know more, come to Comparade 1998 (16-18 Jan 1998 in Emmering, Germany). He's also (like myself) very enthusiastic about Pentium computers. Already at last year's TP6 he and I shouted out "Pentium" loudly when there was an extremely bad effect in the PC competition - something like Turbo Pascal code (Starfucker by Bad Sector) or a filled cube or other shitty stuff... |

Another party attender from munich: Zeg; although he doesn't do any releases, he collects all demos, intros, modules, graphics, etc... and I think he's already got some 6 gigs of it (he doesn't know exactly either). He has also the most hardcore Amiga configuration I ever saw: A4000, 68060, 128MB RAM, Toccata, Cybervision, Wacom Art Pad, ... He also got an Silicon Graphics Indigo (180 MHz, 192 MB RAM), as he says, only for MP3 encoding 8-)) |
|
And now for some scene elite: from left to right: TTS/Oxyron, ???, Azure/Artwork, Antibrain/Bizarre Arts. Most of them also traveled in our Party bus. TTS released a 40k intro called "Suicide" it came #3 (if I remember right), Azure did a 4k-intro called "Wave" that came #1... |

Here is a view from inside our party bus, somewhere throughout southern germany, but don't ask me where exactly, doesn't matter either... |
