GATHERING'92 REPORT ------------------------------------ By Lord Helmet / PMC Soon I will be going to the party "Gathering 92 ". First I have to go to the shop and buy me some coke. There were many people at the shop. I met the mother of a friend of mine who I had to talk to. I think the price for Cola was 10 NOK. I bought 10 litres. ( STOP THIS CRAP! THIS IS HOW 90 % OF THE PARTYREPORTS ARE! PEOPLE WILL READ ABOUT THE PARTY! NOT ABOUT A BORING JOURNEY!) ABOUT THE PARTY: EXPECTATIONS ------------------------------------ Crusaders announced this party to be the party of the year. (Like EVERY party!). I knew it wouldn't be so! So I didn't have so high expectations to the party! ARRANGING ------------------------------------ As always the staff could not satisfy all that they have promised and a dozen of people got really disapointed. Why promise something you can't keep? This only make people disapointed (and get the the arrangers richer!). Nowadays I don't read partyinvitations because half of it is only bullshit. "If we get it our way maybe Cindy Crawford will arrive", is a typical example what the organizers only write to get people to arrive and Many People = Money, Money! PEOPLE ------------------------------------ There was only people from Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Denmark) present at this party. Famous groups from Norway: Crb, Pmc, Andromeda, Spaceballs, Offence, Symbiosis, Paragon, Equinox, Crusaders, Razor 1911 and Silents. Famous groups from Sweden: Shining, Equinox and Strange. Famous groups from Denmark: Kefrens, Static Bytes, Crystal and Anarchy + a Dozens of other well known groups. The total amount of people were about 800. COMPETIONS ------------------------------------ The screen they showed all the graphics and the demos was awful. (Even my Grandmother could see that!). The musiccompo was arranged fair enough. 10 Modules were choosed out and played! So you didn't have to sit too long hearing all the modules. The football compo, eating compo, diskthrowing compo was fairly nice organised. The final in the Football match was refereed by Lord "The Judge" Helmet. The final was won by Silents. For all other results read "the result" article , please! SUMMARY ------------------------------------- " Money talks, organising walks" should be the slogan for these organizers. Although it was maybe the Best organised party in Norway it didn't live up to the invitation. But I met/talked to a lot of nice Scene dudes so the party wasn't wasted! When People pay their entrance to a party they have paid for ALL promises that is written in the invitation. If these promises are not held people have the right to get some of their money back! This is teoretical! What really happens is that the organisers raise their entrance payment and don't keep half of the promises! DON'T JUST SIT THERE IN YOUR CHAIR AND ACCEPT THIS. STAND UP AND FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS!
