QUARTZ SUMMER

CONFERENCE REPORT
¹

The  party  was held on 8th and 9th  of 
August in Bridgwater, Somerset, UK.  It
took place in a hall of  a  sports cen-
tre, which wasn't very  big. But it was 
big enough,  because  just  150  people 
showed up. The only  thing  missing  in 
the hall was a huge  video  screen. The 
organizers put 4 TVs in  front  of  the 
hall. On each of them the current demo, 
GFX etc could be seen.
In the same building there was a bar, a 
couple of pool and snooker  tables  and 
some other things to entertain the  bo-
red party visitors. Unfortunately  some 
of the promises weren't held. Hey  Jaz! 
Where was the  aqua  park? Or   did you 
mean the puddles on the car park? Haha!

Sleeping  was  nearly  impossible.  The 
guys who wanted to  sleep, had  to  use 
the floor of the  party hall, which was 
of course rather  noisy. And if someone
finally  fell  asleep,  some  funmakers 
tied him up or put adhesive tape on his
mouth. I didn't want to  be a victim of 
that so I stayed awake. 
Who was  there?   Well,   unfortunately 
nearly no  one  of  the  famous british 
guys were  present. There  was  just  1 
member from  Anarchy, 1  from Dual Crew 
and just nobody from Digital. That  was 
disappointing.  Here   are  some  other 
groups I can remember  being   present: 
Quartz, Delicious Designs, The Silents, 
Destiny,   LSD,   Anthrox,  Cybernetix, 
Doom, Futura, Phobia,  EOC  1999, Dimen
sion X... Lots of people left after the 
first day and in the evening of the 2nd 
day, about 20 freaks were left.
There was also lack of releases at  the 
party. I can  just  remember  Grapevine 
Issue 11,  Dual Crew Messagebox Issue 4 
and some other crap...
About  the  competitions: There were of 
course the usual  compos like Demo, GFX

There were also a couple of other  com-
petitions like disk throwing  and real-
time demo, but I don't have the results 
of them, sorry...
Well, all in all it  was  a  funny  and 
well organized party, even  if  the ex-
pected people were missing.
