│ About two weeks before the party Epox, Stoker and me decided to attend │
│ the Bizarre Demo Net Party III. Since we planned to take some computer │
│ equipment with us, we decided to go by car. My car was much too small │
│ for that purpose (Rover Mini), Stoker does not even have a driver's │
│ license and our decision fell on Epox' Nissan. │
│ Epox promised to pick me up at my house at 13.3o, 'cos we wanted to be │
│ at the party place at 15.oo. When it was 14.oo I decided to call Epox │
│ and ask, if he perhaps died, or something. But that was not the case │
│ and he finally arrived at my house at 14.15. As we arrived at Stoker's │
│ house, Epox first noticed, that he forgot some important pieces of │
│ equipment. We were lucky, that Stoker could take the parts missing in │
│ Epox' gear from his computer cave. │
│ When we arrived at the party place it started to get dark. After about │
│ 15 minutes of searching for a parking lot we found one. I stepped out │
│ of the car and into something soft. I thought, please let it be no dog │
│ shit, but my prayer was not heard. It was dogshit. Looked like the dog │
│ had had a good case of diarrhia :( When Epox started to pick his com- │
│ puter out of the car he was suddenly struck by the fact that he forgot │
│ his power supply cable at home. There was no other possibility, than │
│ to buy one. We went into 'Saturn am Alex' and found out, that we would │
│ have to pay 17,95 DM for that crappy little cable. After having waited │
│ at the cash register for 20 min and paid, it seemed like we had every- │
│ thing we needed. │
│ But now it got really late and we were not able to find parking space. │
│ After 45 min of desparate search we found a parking lot in about 1 km │
│ from the party place. Carrying all our equipment through the coldness │
│ sucked pretty bad. But at least we had arrived. │
│ The party room was crammed full of people. There were no free tables, │
│ and the organizers (thanx) built us a kind of provisional table out of │
│ to little camping desks and a board. It is still beyond my understan- │
│ ding, that it did not break down a single time. │
│ The following compos were to be carried out: Intro/Demo-Compo, 4 Chan- │
│ nel Chiptune-Compo, ANSI/ASCII-Fast-Compo, GFX-Compo, Remix-Compo and │
│ of course Multichannel-Compo. Tuscon (the organizers) wanted a wild- │
│ compo, too, but since there were 0 entries they had to drop that idea. │
│ A pity, if you ask me.. │
│ Since Epox and me planned to compete in Multichannel-Compo and Remix- │
│ Compo the first thing we had to do, was to finish our entries for Mul- │
│ ti-Channel-Compo. It was 18.oo and the deadline was at 22.oo, but we │
│ had to hurry, because the Remix-Compo started at 2o.oo. We finished │
│ our songs right in time to start with da Remix-Compo. Well, in my opi- │
│ nion the Remix-Compo sucked, simply because the original song was un- │
│ remixable. Epox, me and some other guests gave up after two hours of │
│ trying (Hi, Axess!). Meanwhile there were several deadlines and people │
│ gave their works to da organizers. │
│ The last deadline (Remix-Compo) was at 24.oo and we had absolutely no- │
│ thing to do. We spent our time talking to some guys from bpr and sac. │
│ Sinus burned a scene-stuff '96 CD-ROM for us (thanx again dude), since │
│ no one in dECAY has got a CD-Writer :( │
│ I do not remember when exactly all the compo-entries were shown (beer │
│ rooolez!!), but I'm pretty sure it was around 3.oo. When we had seen │
│ and heard everything it was 5.oo :) Though there were some technical │
│ problems (f.e. one of the intros/demos didn't run) I enjoyed it. The │
│ results were ready in about and our. With some frustration we noticed │
│ that people still prefer techno (boom-boom-boom) to more calm, melodic │
│ songs. Since only the three best entries were announced I still don't │
│ know how our songs were voted. │
│ After that we had some good games of dynablaster against some sac-guys │
│ (Hi, Spoon!). Since the party seemed to break up (many were leaving, │
│ even more were packing their equipment) we decided to leave, too. │
│ │
│ Fazit: A good party in my opinion, maybe a little low on spontanity. │
│ │
│ Things to be improved: Voting system!! │
│ │
│ Greetings: all dECAY pOSSE, all bPR-cREW, especially 4tune and axess, │
│ sinus (thx for the CD), the SAC-Guys we played dyna with, │
│ and furthermore universe, dyma, speaker, butcher/demons, │
│ delight, tuscon and everybody else i forgot. │
