AARS PARTY REPORT On December the 26th, we (the Genetic crew : Feanor and Tib, Samsman of The Flame Arrows and the co-driver Abraxas) started our trip to Aars to what was supposted to be the best party ever... At about midnight the 27th we reached Aars and after a little driving around we went straight to the party place. When we drove up the parking place we already noticed some Amiga fans walking around. The party was supposed to start at 8:00 but when we entered the party place we discovered that hall 2 was already filled with Amigas. Well, it was only a temporary place to hook up the Amiga, because hall 1, the main hall wasnt open yet. So, till 8:00 we walked around and then finally the party started. Everybody went to the main entrance door to pay the 120 Dkk.. But because the organizers only used 1 entrance the queue became longer and longer. It became even worse when the organizers ran out of small change, so they had to go into town to get more... Well finally after about an hour we paid and got our votedisk with some party info on it and a voting form. Finally partytime !! There were three halls, the first hall was for the Amiga- Elite. In this hall were also the bigscreen, the stage and the videoroom. Hall 2 was for more Amiga, Pc and C-64. Hall 3 was the sleeping hall. The first day was a bit boring, because nothing happened really, so we had some time to check out the toilets and showers. The toilets were ofcourse clean at the beginning, but after days it got worse. There were too few toilets. Often you had to wait in line. Well, they even had showers. Showers ? What showers ? Only 2 !! showers.. Not much for over 2000 people, or what ! Anyway, for those who got a bit bored the first day there was the laserdisk room near the bigscreen where movies were shown... The second day began with the Techno Concert from Kyd/Balle. They held their concert on stage in front of the bigscreen. On the screen they played some nice own made videoclips. Stroboscopes, a light show and a smoke generator were also included and together it looked pretty cool. The concert lasted for less than an hour. After the concert most people went to hall 3 to get a nap. The second day was much more interesting than the first day, because there was the intro compo, the music compo and the graphics compo. The intro compo wasnt quite wat I suspected, most intros didnt have any new routines, except for a few groups like Mellon.. The music compo was for many guys who competed a disaster, because the organizers didnt play all the modules. That meant that many GOOD musicians didnt even get a chance. The songs were all played for 2 minutes, so on some songs you only could hear the intro. After the music compo the graphics compo started. Many artists had entered the compo with GREAT pictures, which made it a really cool compo... After day 2 we went to sleep.. Not that we were able to sleep very well, there was too much noise, and people were boozing around. The organizers should have paid more attention to keep it a quiet place. At day three the long awaited demo competition started. At the beginning they showed the State Of The Art demo from Spaceballs. The whole audience was very stunned about those nice n cool effects. At least one group which didnt lack on originality. Well, ofcourse there were more demos who got lottsa success. After the compo it was time to vote. Everybody was able to fill in the voting form on disk and leave it with the organizers. Hmm. I wonder how many people really returned the vote disk.. It was also possible to buy a party T-shirt. Afterall it was a great party with lottsa good points. Also a few bad ones but who really cares about that.. It was THE PARTY of the year......
