Euskal Party II - Report
To live in Spain is quite annoying
for christmas, when every scener is
planning to go to the Party IV in
Denmark and you take a look at the map
and you can see the looong travel to
get there from Spain. If you have a
lot of money, you can afford a fly, but
what if you haven't enough?
Here comes the Euskal Party to
solve your problems! It's a Party held
here, in Spain, in the same dates than
the Danish one. We have no big groups
or releases, but it's very good anyway.
The party started the 27th of
December, and I got greatly surprised
when I saw the good organization.
There were a BIG screen (4 x 5 metres),
and also a very good sound equipement
to hear the mods competitions and the
tunes from the demos. It sounds pretty
nice, and many friends of mine who were
at the Party III the last year told me
that our equip was better than the
Danish party one. I don't know as I
haven't been at the Party III, but it
really sounded nice.
Over 300 people got there, even if
the 30th of December was ment to be a
transports strike and many of us didn't
know how to get home after the close of
the party.
There were four conferences about
the piracy, the Amiga's future, the
internet and the asociations, all of
them really interestings, and we got
covered by the whole comunication
world, I mean, the local Tv made a
report, the national Tv made a report
too, and we got two full pages of the
newspaper all the three days of the
party. It was normal to turn on the Tv
and hear sentences like: "The Amiga is
the best computer arround the world"
and so on...
Even in the contributions to the
party were only a few, I got stoned
when I saw the amount of groups there
who were planning to make something
like demos, intros, etc... because I
thought that in Spain only Darkness and
us were the only ones interested in the
scene. Also there were a lot of
independant talented people. I
remember in special a group called
Goblins who had a quite good demo, but
they didn't release it because of a bug
with the fast Ram.
We felt the fault of groups like
Metro, whose graphician is almost the
best in Spain (it's about opinions), or
Batman Group, who have done a really
stunning demo in the Southern Party I,
but there were good productions anyway.
We, Necropolis, released a nine disks
demo which run only from hard disk and
needs 6 Mb of Ram (as the party rules
said, we were able to use a 1200 HD and
6 Mb, with a maximum demo size of 10
DSDD disks) and a little 70 kb intro,
but I think the best of the party was
the intro In Progress, of Darkness and,
giving appart the scene, the dance of
Estrayk/Darkness when he noticed he got
the first (draw) price.
The party was dressed up with more
things like fast compos (music and
graphics 2d and 3d), but there were not
too much participations, as the fast
coding compo could not get held because
of lack of participants.
Over 2000$ were given in prices and
also some funny things like "chapelas",
a fun local hat which have about 40 cm
of diametre, so you can imagine the
winners of the prices with them... he,
he...
Until now, all the Spanish partys
had a really heavy problem, the
deficient organization, but this was
the most organizated party in which I
have been, and I don't know how are the
ones abroad, but this is really worth
the travel.
So, if you feel tired of going to
Denmark next year in Christmas, you can
think about coming to the next Euskal
Party, and maybe you won't see a lot of
high quality productions, but you'll
get a lot of fun for sure!
