_^_THE^PARTY^III_^_
_^_______^_______^_
          Disney / Alcatraz


Two  weeks  after  The Party 1993, the
first enthusiastic reports are to come
out.   The  first  fucking  liars will
soon say that "This Was The Best Party
I've  Ever  Been", that "I've Drunk So
Fucking Much Beer That I My Memory Has
Lost  One  Full  Day"  and  "The Party
People  Were  Absolutely  Crazy".  You
filthy  stinking  liars - Herning 1993
was not a party at all!

When  outside-scene people read those
"crazy"  party  reports,  they have to
think that those computer parties must
be  a  real excess of alcohol and fun.
The  truth is a bit different to those
party-stories   and  -fantasies.   The
truth  about the Party III is that the
main  hall  looked  like 2000 scener's
bedrooms  in  one.   2000 tables, 2000
computers,  2000  guys in front of it.
2000  stereos  blasting  with only two
different  techno  tracks, 2000 coke's
and  2000  packs  of chips.  The other
2000 guys, who didn't take the trouble
of  taking  their bedroom with them to
Herning,    were    walking    around,
sometimes  approaching some bedroom to
talk  with  its  owner.   When  I  was
searching  for  bedroom #27, which was
supposed  to be Sting's, I asked about
50  people  what  number their bedroom
had.   I  realized  that,  of  that 50
people,   100%  seemed  to  be  bored.
Maybe  some  of  those  50  people are
currently writing an article about how
great  that  party was?  Why?  Just to
show  that they've actually been there
and  because they do not dare to admit
that they've been bored.  Everybody is
afraid  to  be  the  only one to admit
that  -  so  everybody say that it has
been  great!  This guy called Domino /
TRSI  is partly right with his article
in   RAW   6.   The  only  thing  that
compares  to  the  regular scener is a
wet  piece  of white bread!  Who wants
to  go  through  a  gathering  of 2000
bedrooms,   with   no   bed  but  with
computer table?

Both   the  organizers  and  the  dull
visitors   are   to   blame  for  this
disaster.   With their no-alcohol-rule
and  their  permanently-checking hired
guards,  they were able to destroy the
party  feeling.   The  organizers were
even walking around during the nights,
looking   in   between   the  bags  of
sleeping  people,  hoping to find some
beers   to  confiscate!   When  I  was
asking  the  idiot  what  he was doing
with  my  bag, he goes "We're checking
for  alcohol".   I said that he wasn't
allowed  to  check my luggage, then he
said  something  like  "We didn't open
it" and away he went.
The  fact  that  I've met many persons
like   Control,   Orbit,  WOTW,  Baggy
Trousers,    Cesium   and   Lizardking
doesn't  make  it  better.   I've  had
bigger  expectations  before  going to
that  party.   It was just a perfectly
organized flop.
In  my  opinion, The Party '91 was the
best    one.     Many   people,   good
organisation  and  loads  of  alcohol.
Without  the  latter,  an  event can't
possibly be called a party.

So  this is the truth about three days
of  Amiga  boredom in Herning.  I felt
kind  of  stupid  when  one  organizer
tried  to  make  me pour away my beer,
and  the  only way to make him give up
was pretending to be Spanish....  ("no
comprende,  soy  Espanol, caraculo!").
I  know  that  many  people will write
reports  and tell the world what great
fun  this party was, I've already read
two  of that kind.  I want to ask them
in  advance:  Where have you been?  In
the halls, I didn't see too many happy
faces  during  those  three  days,  as
almost everybody was in front of their
screen  all  the time.  That's a fact.
I'm  looking  forward  to  all  "cool"
reports anyway.

Come   on  people.   Have  you  really
become  that  boring?   How can you be
satisfied  with  an  event  that  was,
though,  well  organized,  but totally
anonymous  and commercial?  If it goes
on   like  that,  the  annual  Denmark
conventions   do  not  deserve  to  be
tagged  with  the label "party", for a
party is something different.  Herning
'93  was  a display of what the scener
is supposed to be.  A boy, building up
his  bedroom even at a computer party,
just  to  do  the  same thing as every
day.  Playing with their Amiga, hoping
to catch somebody's attention.

     You Can't Beat The Boredom,
     You Can't Beat The Profit,
     You Can't Beat The Feeling
