                                      * Party Runes *
---------------------------------------
 
Featuring TP6 in Aars, information about x97-Take-
over, Mekka+Symposium'97 and Siliconvention '97...
 
On dec. the 26th it was 100% sure. I will move my ass to
DK. After a long trip with some difficulties we arrived
at the partyplace. 'The end of an era' it was called, but
none at the party took notice of this in my opinion.
This time the party was held from the 27th to the 29th
of December in Aars. Planned were two halls with tables
and a third one for sleeping. But as I thought before,
too many people wanted to take part in the action, so
that they took the third hall and filled it with tables to
get more space for the party people. That was the
first point, badly organised in my eyes. Over 3000
people and only one little hall in the town and some
corner third hall to sleep in. Another point to mention is
the fact that there were definatly not enough toilets. I
the morning they were totally overcrowded. And if I
had known that the door from the cafeteria to the
partyhalls was not watched for, I would have not payed
the admission, quite frankly. But this point was not the
mistake of the organisers. As HEAVY HEAD stated, the
owner of the cafe' did not allow to close this passage.
But enough of this, as I all in all had my fun!
With paying 250 crowns we were allowed to enter the
partyplace. To the right you had the big screen, where
the compos were shown in a good quality, I have to
admit } ! The rest of the halls was full of computer-
and hi-fi equipment, all those geeks brought with them
Some of them used their stuff to code, paint and com-
pose etc., but as seen on every party the most people
were playing Doom, Duke Nukem 3D or games like this,
watching porno giffs or crap like that. Why the hell
couldn't they just stay at home and play it there?
Probably they simply belong to these parties?!?
They belong to this parties more than all those horny,
pornowatching spankers, sitting slavering infront of
their TV set. And the later the evening, the more per-
vert the videos got. Fuck you! Damn idiots. When I wanna
spank my weener, I do it at home! }
Nevermind! Alcohol and drugs were forbidden, like at
the DK parties before. Nevertheless we brought our
dope and beer to the place and had it inside, without
any of those red dressed guys noticing us doing so.
Back to the point when I entered. As WEASEL told me
that they will have their tables right infront of the big
screen, I turned right, to have a look if they already
arrived. They did! (Now the time has come to mention
that WEASEL organised a bus to DK from Munich via
whole Germany. Nice that some people do so! Applause
from my side, Juergen }) I had some nice conversation
and met alot of people, so that all the compos were held
without me watching. }
I enjoyed the atmosphere and 48 hours of action. The
time for C64 demo competition was near and the around
200 C64 nerds streamed towards the screen. Also most
of the other people were watching the competition and
giving applause, sometimes rightly and sometimes they
seemed not to know where e.g. pictures were scannned
or pixled, if you know what I mean. The rankings of the
competitions were like following:

A word to the competitions:
The demo 'Vibrations' by Lepsi Developments was not
shown in full length, what causes a lower position in
my opinion. The GFX-compo... hmm... decide by yourself
which pictures are drawn!! music-compo: Everybody
thought that JEFF would do the first place, but against
the thoughts MITCH&DANE did it. And they got first with-
out standing next to the voting PC guys, telling them
whom to vote, like it is said about BORDEAUX! (Ed: Lame!)
 
Some last words:
If everything happens like it is planned, THE PARTY will
take place again. Organised by other people, who will
keep it alive and let not end the era! See you this year
at the following parties:
 
 
                                   X-97 > Takeover
                                   ------------
The party will be held on 4th, 5th and 6th of april 1997.
The party place will open on friday evening and will
close on sunday afternoon. The party will be held in
Eindhoven (not in Utrecht, like '95 and '96), the Nether-
lands, in the Auditorium of the Technical University.
Eindhoven is in the south of the Netherlands.
 
Let me mention some of the partyfeatures:
Besides a huge big-screen and some fat audio sys-
tem, there will be a party-network, free internet
access and live performances.
The main partyhall is big enough for over 500 people
and features in-house buffet and 24 hours coffee
service.
