X-MAS PARTY PREVIEW


-----------------------------------

Written by Chester of Brainstorm and Trix of Anarchy.

The computer party "X-Mas conference '91", organized by Anarchy, Silents and Crystal, will probably become the biggest ever.
This article contains a small-talk with one of the organizers (Trix of Anarchy) at the end and every~thing else you have to know about the party first.

Some information:
You might have heard about a Quartex-Rebels party, you might have heard about a Quartex-Silents-Anarchy party (as printed on the invitations), too. Haven't you?

All these names stand for the same party, the CRYSTAL-SILENTS-ANARCHY "X-Mas Conference '91".

The reason for it is that all the guys behind the party have changed their groups since they announced the party first.

- Norwegians simply take the ferry from Oslo, Larvik or Kr. Sand to Frederiks~havn or Hirts~hals.
- Swedes and Fins can of course just take the ferry from Goteborg to Frederiks~havn, from Varberg to Grenaa or maybe go through Copen~hagen.
- Englishmen can go with the ferry from Harwich to Esbjerg and then drive with car up to Aars or with train up to Aalborg.
- All other foreign countries south of Denmark take the train, plane, car. If you come by car, there will be signs around the partytown to show you the way to the partyplace.

To reserve tables or if you just want to tell that you'll be there, send a piece of paper telling how many of you will come and how many computers.

Chester of Brainstorm had a small-talk with one of the organizes, Trix of Anarchy.


- There were different problems with the organizing group names, tell us again what has happened.

Well, the reason is that ALL the main-Organizers behind the party have changed the group since the planning of the party.
On the invitation is printed "Quartex-Silents-Anarchy" but now it's a Crystal-Silents-Anarchy party because Quartex got some internal problems (I aslo heard they died...) so the two Alliance Design / Quartex guys behind the party joined Crystal.
Hopefully there'll be no more changings and if there will, don't worry the party will remain the same.


- Who are the people behind the party?

The 4 main-organizers are:
Stripe of Silents, Seen and Paleface of Crystal, me (Trix of Anarchy)


- So no group just gave its good name, everybody is really organizing something?

Well, you can't say that we just give our good names because we are really behind it! All the members from Anarchy, Crystal and Silents will of course be there, but they won't take part in the organization because then we would be far too many. Thisalso allows the organizing groups to take part in the competitions.


- What do you think about how many people will visit your party?

That is a hard one... But I guess we might reach 1000 (or more...).


- Have you heard about which groups will release a demo at the party?

Yes, but let's all wait and see till the party! At least I can tell one thing for sure competition won't be none!


Thanks to Trix for answering those few questions.

Talking again about the to be released demos, in fact Trix didn't want to say anything, but we have heard some quite interesting things.
Productions from...

RAZOR 1911 Germany (demo), SPREADPOINT (demo), PHENOMENA (demos, sound-disk), ANARCHY (demos), perhaps the new demo from Chaos of SANITY, CRIONICS (demo), BUDBRAIN (demo) and much, much more...

Be there! The Party of a Lifetime...
