...Then people started boo-ing to the organizers, singing songs, and doing other crazy stuff... Then, some people brought their "LED scroll display" (as you know it from stores, cinemas, etc...) on the stage and the display read something like "Come to Symposium & Mekka 1998 where there will be enough power" and "Car-batteries rule..." This was also the time where people re-wrote the Party motto "Batteries not included" to "Power not included" or "The Power 1997 - Party not included"...
...After that, I and Miroslaff went down the "city" to get ourselves some Pizza; while we're waiting for the pizzas, we were figuring out what the danish stuff on the pizza-price-list like køgsauce and æg meant 8-) Okay, but back at the Party, after about 2 hours, there was power up again! Although every 5 minutes the big-screen said "Lower your power usage! The system is beyond its maximum", no-one ever does that...
On this photo so see some stupid PC lamers watching some x-rated photos... Although allegedly there wasn't an animal-porno this year at The Party, lotsa people did nothing but watching porn stuff throughout the whole party... That's what I call scene-spirit (nearly as much as constantly quaking)... 8-)
Abyss balloons! Those were provided by Moon/Abyss. I don't know how many there are left or who made those, in case you're really interested, just drop a mail to Moon!
Crow/Interactive's PC with Abyss-stickers. This PC was used for downloading stuff from the party-ftps and voting... Speaking of voting: Voting was really a pain in the ass. Here's the procedure: At the entrance of the party you got a small booklet explaining the net etc. and there's a voting-key on page 22 (it's like 20 chars). To vote you need to log-on to the party site and 1) create an account (4 steps), 2) validate your vote-key (2 steps) and 3) vote! That's really much too complicated, especially if you have 1 PC for 30 people that want to vote! ...
...So, if it couldn't get worse, voting deadline was about 30 minutes after the last competition (C64 demo). But now the really shitty part: Although they moved the voting deadline to give you an extra 45 minutes, the voting server didn't work 80% of the time, so instead of the 60 votes we're supposed to do, we only managed about 15 (on 3 computers)...
Oh, by the way, what you can see on the left, is a snapshot from "Automobili Lamborghini" on N64...
One of the few guys, that were lucky during the power-down, he got a laptop.....
Now to the real highlight of The Party 7: The C64-demo competition. First of all the winner demo by AEG/Smash Designs: "Second Reality". You think you know the name? You're right! What AEG and his compadres did is to 100% convert the famous PC-demo by Future Crew (Assembly 93) to C64. You won't believe it if you don't see it with your own eyes! They converted every single effect including the vector-world, re-drawed every graphic, and re-composed every tune! It was really astonishing! But not to forget the other cool demo by Graham/Oxyron, that also featured superb effects...
This photo also shows you hall 1...
Thanks to Moon/Abyss, who sent me these photos!
On the left, you can see the pricegiving ceremony for the 4 channel music competition. In case you can't read the big-screen (which isn't easy on this photo):
#1 Pink/Abyss "Sassy Notion"
#2 Muffler/Haujobb (no comment on this one)
(I can't recognize any more, too)
On the platform #1 stands Pink/Abyss, on #2 Jazz/Haujobb.
