Party Radar Hello beloved reader, this chapter is hosted by me, ned/Hybrid. I`ll let you know here a little about all those ill-wacked scene-events, as I attendmost of `em these days. Party:Mekka+Symposium URL:ms.demo.org Date:10th-13th.April.1998 Location:Heidmarkhalle/Fallingbostel/Germany Rating:10/10 This was THE party of the parties! No doubt the cremé del a cremé of the scene held a neat meeting. The range of the attendents was from C64 `cross the Amiga going to PC...and well even having some PSX ppl around. The provided network was superb giving me the possibility to download from the local FTPs with the tasty speed of up to 1400k. That`s the way we like it. Beginning the party on a friday most ppl came around afternoon and started setting up their equipment which ment that around early evening a few 100 servers were running to offer great software, mostly endless MP3 collections. We (2 friends and me) collected around 30MP3 CDs...and then started sucking the games and apps! What a hell of a work! The events on the party were just perfect. There was an accapella performance by some singers doing old SID-tunes and the contestants, any sceners, were forced to guess! Comando Lybia! The scene-spirit was burning. Also great demo-, graphic- and XM-competions were held, which actually didn`t let the PC look very good, as Amiga was much more creative. To let you know about some scene-gossip I could just mention that LKCC are real wuzzies! If you go to a scene-party you ain`t supposed to play Quake2 all day long like a 13yearold game-kid. But LKCC did,hehe! A big suprise was to see people from all scene-generations such as the real old TRSI people and also some of today. It could be understood as the meeting of generations as in StarTrek! ;) The facilities itself were brilliant. Two very good looking girls had to clean them all the time, so it was a great pleasure to go shittin`! ;) Also I`d like to mention that the organizers handled the all-time problem "Alcohol" *very* well. Eventhough very many ppl were drunk like hell everybody(!) kept peacefull and didn`t get on anyones balls as the idiots from "Lightforce" did last year. 24hours-a-day food and softdrink-supply was garantueed... so the LKCC guys could drink coke...eat chips...and play quake...just like home! ;) The outdoor-competion was a real big fun for everybody... well,except the competors! The game was simple:Two scene-idiots had to chain their hands and legs. Then the bad-mooded showmaster, Steeler, threw 2 disks into a pool and the idiots had to grab `em with the mouth! Ofcoz they were wet as hell, not having anything besides to wear with `em....and ofcoz freezing their ass off! gr8 fun! :> In case you won in a competion you got quite fine prizes after the party!Money!$$$! As a last word I`d just like to advise all of you that being in the scene if o.k.....but the real kick is such a party. Don`t miss this next year! ned/Hybrid/AlphaFlight1970/NetPhre@kers/APP ned@hybrid.to --====================987654321_0==_
