Party

This is a small party-report written by AwEsoN/iLLUSiON !! Well, where should I startup with this party-report - maybe I should tell you first what I think in general about this first party I have visited in Poland, yet !! IT WAS REALLY GREAT !! Why ?!? I think nearly all guys from the polish scene showed up at the party- place; this means that about thousand people visited this party which was a surprise for me (and maybe even for the organizers) - I did not expect that many people to be at the party. When I went to the party, I was a little bit affraid if all people would talk polish all the time and that I would be bored to death because I only would have the chance to speak to a few guys in english. But when I arrived at the party-location, a friend of mine (STAN/iLS) introduced me to some of his friends, and when they heard that I was from Germany, they star- ted to talk to me in english. I was surprised that all guys were very friendly: They came to me, shook hands with me, introduced themselves and started to chat with me about scene and real-life. In fact, there was really nobody, who seemed to be an arrogant and "so elite" guy, and I have really talked to many guys from many groups - really fa- mous and unknown sceners but really nobody was unfriendly. I think that this is not too "normal" for scene-parties; on other parties there are these really "elite" guys, you are not allowed to talk to, because they are really "much too elite" (btw: I wonder why most of these arrogant people from the scene are swappers, traders or sysops; what can THEY be proud of ??). Another great thing were the productions, which were presented at the big screen. Just have a look at the demos - the time when everybody laughed about polish productions is really over now. And also keep in mind, that the prices were really low: 400 DM (not even 300$) for the first position of the demo-competition; that means that polish groups still do demos for having fun and for keeping the scene alive and not for earning much money (another example about what polish sceners think about producing anything just to earn the money from the compe- titions is DREAMER - the polish guys like his music but they will not vote for any of his modules because DREAMER just wants to earn the money from the compos !! (btw: This is what I have heard about DREA- MER !!). Of course, there were not only nice and cool things about the party: -There was only a very small door at the entrance so it took a really long time to get all people into the building. -The main-hall was a little bit too small, or maybe the organizers should have build up another big-screen out of the main-hall, be- cause it was really too crowded in the mainhall while the compos were running. -All screen-informations, vote-sheets, etc. were in polish. These is all bad points about the party - the rest of the party was really great fun: MANGA-films in a seperate room all the time, demos (old and new ones) were shown at the big-screen between the compos, a RAVE-party including a live-act and a striptease-girl, talking, boo- zing and just having a great time !! So, why did I write this party-report then ?! Well, as far as I know, I was the only guy at the party, who could not speak polish and I think that most european sceners just did not know what they could expect from such a polish party and therefore they did not want to spend money for the journey, etc. But I can tell you - you really missed a party, which was completely different (somehow), which was more fun (for sure) than any other party I have visited yet (this in- cludes THE PARTY 4, too !!) and therefore I want to ask more sceners from foreign countries to visit such a big polish party, simply be- cause it is really worth it !! But please, only dudes who want to have fun and who are not arrogant - at least I think that the polish sceners are not interested in talking to "so elite" guys !! A last sentance: There was fun, friendship and great demos, which were really done for the fun of it - · THE POLISH SCENE IS STILL AT THE ROOTS !!! :) · [AwEsoN/iLLUSiON]
