Introduction
- What's all this about? -
Welcome to the invitation magazine of
Somewhere In Holland '95. Like last
year, we have tried to make something
special out of this and we surely hope
we've succeeded. This year, we have
expanded the code with hyperlinks
giving you yet another new handy
feature when searching for more or less
important matters...
We've assumed that the reader of this
magazine is acquainted with terms like
'@{"scene" LINK Scene}', 'demo', 'intro' and more of
these. After all, explaining those
would bore most of you. However special
pages are reserved for the explanation
of those and other words. Just click on
them...
Again, the party has been organised
from a non-commercial point of view.
After all, scene is a non-commercial
'way of life' and thus, we wouldn't
feel very comfortable if we turned SIH
into an annual money machine.
Before the whole flow of information,
let's have a look at the different
articles to be found in this magazine..
>>
INTRODUCTION
This is the text you are reading now.
WHAT, WHEN AND WHERE...
A detailed explanation of SIH'95,
where and when it will be held...
FACILITIES
What about a restaurant, parking space,
floor size, electricity and more?? This
is the article to read all about that.
Every little detail about the party's
equipment can be found here...
COMPETITIONS!
Yes! As usual we have some cute little
competitions. I don't wanna spoil all
surprises, but there's one thing I can
say: only players can win!
HOW TO GET THERE
You've lost your map, don't have
information on Holland or you are just
to lazy to get it? Well then. In that
case we haven't typed this article just
for nothing. Roads, trains, busses.
Everything is in there...
HOW TO BEHAVE
I hate these kind of things.
Unfortunately there are always some
trouble makers. If you are one, read
this article. Otherwise, do it too as
there are some general rules to follow.
>>
INFORMATION IN SHORT
You've forgotten everything you've read
already or you don't have time to read
it all? Then, here's a shortlist with
all necessary information on one simple
page.
HOW TO CONTACT US
If you are someone suffering from
infomania then go and read this article
immediately. You can get more info by
using E-Mail, Snail-Mail, WWW or at our
WHQ BBS. We hope you will feel better
soon when you have read this article...
THE REST
The rest of the articles are basically
bonus. As you might know, the SIH-Team
hates 'normal' disk invitations as
there is so much more in the world to
tell. Just check them out one by one...
@{"FIRST ARTICLE..." LINK WhatWhenWhere}
@endnode
@node WhatWhenWhere "What, When and Where..."
What, When and Where
- The basic information -
WHAT
The annual Somewhere In Holland parties
are events for non-commercial computer
artists. Though, everyone is invited to
come over and have a look at what's
commonly called the '@{"scene" LINK Scene}'...
WHEN
The hall will be opened for THREE DAYS:
It will be OPENED on..
Saturday the 8th of JULY at 10:00 AM.
And it will be CLOSED on..
Monday the 10th of July at 15:00 PM.
WHERE
The complex where SIH'95 will take
place is usually used for big sporting
events. The really huge hall is called:
'Sportcentrum De Leysdream', which is
located in Roosendaal. You can read
more info about the hall in the next
article which is called @{"Facilities" LINK Facilities}.
If you want to know the exact address,
then go to the article with @{"addresses" LINK Addresses}.
AND...
The ENTRANCE FEE has been set to
50 Dutch @{"Guilders" LINK Guilder}. That might seem to
be a lot, but just continue reading and
you will find out that YOU REALLY GET A
LOT for this money!! It's really
not very much when you realise for that
money you'll have a home for three days
and you'll be amused too.. PLEASE NOTE
THAT we won't accept any foreign money.
By the way: GIRLS GET FREE ENTRANCE, so
you can bring your girlfriend with you!
@{"NEXT ARTICLE" LINK Facilities}...
@endnode
@node Facilities "Facilities.."
Facilities
- What can you expect? -
MAIN HALL
With not less than 2600 SQUARE METRES
of space, the hall can contain about
1200 PEOPLE and 700 computer systems.
If you want to know the exact address,
then go to the article with @{"addresses" LINK Addresses}.
The main hall will, of course, be
filled with tables and chairs.
POWER
A professionally installed network of
electricity keeps your equipment
running with 400 KWatts per hour.
By the way: Dutch electricity standard
is 220-230V/50Hz
When bringing your computer you should
make sure you bring your own power
distribution sockets with enough
sockets for your own equipment plus one
for your neighbour. All distributions
sockets MUST BE GROUNDED. If not, you
risk the chance of being disconnected
by an organiser. Grounded equipment
prevents accidents and external noise.
Besides that the firedepartment forbids
such places to allow usage of sockets
powersockets which are not grounded!!
SLEEPING HALL
There is a SEPERATE hall for sleeping.
The sleeping hall doesn't have any beds
or anything, just a lot of space...
[Picture 05]
Just to give you an impression of what
the hall looks like on the outside...
You will have to bring your own
sleeping things!
FOOD & DRINKS
The complex contains a RESTAURANT able
to handle up to 200 people at a time.
You can find food and drinks there in
huge amounts and reasonable prizes.
Of course, it will be open at night!
Some people only eat what they know..
THAT'S NO PROBLEM, because the nearest
Mc.Donalds is only a few minutes away!!
PLUMBING/HYGIENE
Well, the building is normally used for
sports, so there are PLENTY SHOWERS
available. Of course there are many
TOILETS too. And we will make sure that
the showers and toilets are kept CLEAN.
PARKING
There is a HUGE PARKINGPLACE. We are
sure it's big enough for all the cars
and busses you're bringing with you..
Parking there won't cost you any money.
NEIGHBOURHOOD
Some people will continue with their
dayly business, others will be working
very hard to beat the deadlines. But
remember that the main business is FUN!
So why don't you go and meet other
people? You might find people present
who you would have never met in your
own country. Why don't you discover
The Netherlands? There's plenty to do.
At night you could go out.. Pubs and
discos don't close as early as in other
countries. If you really can't amuse
yourselves in town, it's good to know
that the nearest city is not very far..
Remember that you're not always here,
THIS IS YOUR TIME OFF , YOU FREAKS...
...SO ENJOY!!
BIG SCREEN
Like on every party, there will be a
big screen on a wall in the main hall.
We will make sure that this screen has
a VERY HIGH QUALITY, because at the
latest parties, where we were visitors
ourselves, it has been quite horrible
to watch the big screens.
AUDIO EQUIPMENT
The audio will be handled by a
professional. We want to make sure that
the sound, which accompanies the big
screen, can be heard in the whole hall.
If you are working on a CD, or you have
already made one that you want to
promote, just let us know and we will
see what we can do for you!!
FIRST AID/MEDICAL HELP
If you've forgotten your medicines or
you get in some other kind of trouble
it's good to know that there are people
in the organisation who are skilled
with First Aid. If you or a friend
might have a problem, just find the
nearest person from the organisation.
He or she will make sure you will be
helped as QUICKLY as possible. If it
is really necessary we can bring you to
hospital. By the way, don't forget your
travel insurance!
INFORMATION DESK
At the information desk you can find
people in the organisation, who can
HELP you with practically anything.
If something isn't totally clear we can
explain it to you. Information on the
neighbourhood, medical help, rules for
the competitions, technical help, just
name it.. First we will try to help you
ourselves and if we can't we will find
you somebody who can.. We do know a lot
of visitors personally, so that should
not be a problem at all!!
FAMOUS GROUPS
Not really a facility, but the hall
will be filled with famous people from
the @{"scene" LINK Scene}.
CHECKLIST
If you are not really sure what to
bring with you, it might be wise to
read the @{"CHECKLIST" LINK Checklist} we have provided.
@{"NEXT ARTICLE" LINK Route}...

How to get there
- Route Descriptions -
TRAVELLING BY CAR
Roosendaal is situated in the
South-West of The Netherlands. This
part is called Noord-Brabant. Just to
the West of Breda, which can be found
on every Dutch map, lies Roosendaal.
The hall is located near highway A58,
Rotterdam - Roosendaal - Bergen op Zoom
While getting close to the party place
you'll see a big McDonald's sign at
about 100 metres from the highway.
This is about where you have to get
off. From there, it's just 3 minutes
[Picture 03]
>>
driving to the party following the
boards saying 'Leysdream'.
TRAVELLING BY TRAIN
There is a train station in Roosendaal.
Then take public bus number 32 and get
out at the 'Burgemeester Snijderslaan'.
This will cost you about 6 Guilders.
(In a bus you'll have to pay with Dutch
money (@{"Guilders" LINK Guilder}).
From there, it is a 250 meters walk..
@{"NEXT ARTICLE" LINK Behaviour}...
@endnode
@node Behaviour "How to behave.."
How to Behave
- Some General Rules -
The organisation of SIH'95 wants
everyone to have a great time. We had
to set up some general rules that won't
be very hard to follow.
It's FORBIDDEN to bring weapons,
fireworks, spraycans or mobile phones
into the party area. If you do, these
items will be taken away.
Intoxicated people will be forced to
leave the party. Fighting people will
be handed over to the police.
If you've caused any DAMAGE you will
of course have to PAY for it.
We will NOT accept any racist signs,
behaviour or propaganda. Depending on
the commotion around the above you will
either receive a warning or be handed
over to the police.
It's FORBIDDEN to sell food, drinks,
disks or anything else without our
permission. This is because we don't
want to get into trouble with the
people from the hall or our sponsors.
Ask a person from the crew.
We are NOT RESPONSIBLE for ANY ILLEGAL
ACTION caused by you, the visitor. If
you are caught while violating the
Dutch Law we will act accordingly. This
includes copying of videotapes, music
commercial software or other material
which is copyrighted.
The SIH'95 organisation can not be held
responsible for damage of any kind, not
caused by a member of the SIH'95
organisation. Every person is
responsible for him or herself and his
or her equipment.
By visiting the party you automatically
agree with the rules mentioned above.
@{"NEXT ARTICLE" LINK Competitions}...
@endnode
@node Competitions "Competitions"
Competitions
- Only players can win -
GENERAL
There are 6 standard competitions:
Demos for Amiga
Demos for PC-Compatible
Intros for Amiga
Intros for PC-Compatible
Graphics
4 Channel Music
To compete in a competition, make sure
your work complies with the general
rules AND rules for each competition!!
PRIZEMONEY!!
Of course, the SIH'95 party features
some cute competitions with nice
prizes. Not less than 9000 Guilders are
spread over the different categories.
Prizes which can be won in the
competitions will be payed in the Dutch
currency, the @{"Guilder" LINK Guilder}..
In the next table you can find how we
have spread the prizemoney over the
different competitions:
>>

2nd: Fl.375,- 2nd: Fl.375,-
3th: Fl.250,- 3th: Fl.250,-
GENERAL RULES
Each category must at least have 6
competitors. We will only show maximum
30 per competition. You must make sure
you deliver your production in time. If
the deadline has been passed.. BAD
LUCK.. Bring your production to the
SIH crew AT THE INFORMATIONDESK. An
entry must have been made by the
competitor(s). NOTHING is allowed to be
copied, ripped or stolen IN ANY WAY.
At least one of the producers of an
entry must be present at the party.
Executables will be checked on exactly
the same computers as we'll use in the
competition. If they won't run on any
of them, your production will be
disqualified. The organisation retains
the right to check an entry's origin.
Nothing in the competition may already
be released before our party. We retain
the right to add rules, when we think
that's necessary. Competitors must be
present at the party. In a competition
a person can compete with only ONE
production. If we find out that a rule
is broken we will probably DISQUALIFY
the entry from the competition. In some
rare cases we might even disqualify the
person to participate in one or more
competitions. All entries can be send
in using DD disks, either PC formatted,
(720 Kb) or Amiga formatted (880 Kb).
PC Demos/Intros and Graphics can be on
HD disks, PC formatted (1.44 Mb). Disks
containing entries will NOT be given
in return. If you participate in a
competition, it ALWAYS automatically
means that we have your permission to
spread your production in ANY WAY we
like.
DEMOS/INTROS GENERAL
A demo must start automatically after
inserting the first disk OR it should
be installable on harddisk. (Max. 4
Mb of harddiskspace!!) In this case you
should include an installing program
(called 'install.exe') or script (which
should be called 'install.bat'!!) Then,
after executing the file 'startme.exe'
or 'startme.bat' from the demo's ROOT
directory the demo must start. A demo
may never write anything in any form
to disk devices (floppy, harddisk)
while running.
Computers we use for the competitions
may have extra hardware like memory or
turboboards. So make sure your demo
can handle this. Effects in demos must
be calculated and IN NO CASE ordinary
animations. Maximum play time for a
demo is set to 10 minutes. And for an
intro the maximum time is 5 minutes. A
demo/intro should exit properly...
It shouldn't reset the machine or loop!
AMIGA DEMOS/INTROS
For the Amiga competitions we'll use an
Amiga 1200 with the AGA chipset and at
least 2Mb Chip + 2Mb Fast, MC68020 CPU.
[Picture 01]
PC DEMOS/INTROS
The demo must be capable of running
under one of the following software
configurations:
1 - Qemm 7.04
2 - Himem + Emm386
3 - Himem
4 - Empty
Every software config runs under MSDOS
6.2 with 600Kb conventional memory,
with exception of the last config. In
case of config 1,2 or 3, as much as
possible will be highloaded. The
computer-hardware consists of an
486DX2/66/4Mb with a Tseng ET-4000
videocard, a Gravis Ultra Sound MAX and
a Sound Blaster Pro 2.0. All demos must
autoconfigure or ask for the IRQ, DMA
and Base address settings at startup.
It is not allowed to use nasty bus
tricks! Filenames must be in ISO 9660
standard. (8 NORMAL characters + '.'
and an extension of 3 chars).
INTROS
Intros are demos limited in size, that
means 40 Kb (40960 bytes) for Amigas
and 64 Kb (65536 bytes) for PC intros.
GRAPHICS
A picture for the graphics competition
can be any kind of picture. Fantasy,
stills, or whatever you like is allowed
to enter. Just be fair and draw and
design the pictures yourself. Digitized
or rendered pictures can't compete!!
PC pictures will be shown with the
latest version of CSHOW, so the format
can be PCX, GIF, LBM, JPG, WPG or CDR.
The Amiga pictures will be shown with
DPaint and thus only formats, supported
by that program can compete. Maximum
resolution is free of choice, but keep
in mind that on our big screen it isn't
possible to show more detail than
640*480!
>>
4 CHANNEL MUSIC
The music must be in the Protracker
compatible format (on PC often called
.MOD format). Every system supports
this format nowadays. It means that the
music will have 4 voices and 8 bits
sound. Surely, most computers will be
able to play sound in 16 bits and more
channels. But we think you are a true
artist if you can do with less...
We will play MAX. 5 minutes of your
module. If the module lasts for less
than 5 minutes or restarts, we will
stop it. For this reason you should let
us know what the exact playlength is.
If it lasts for longer we will stop it
at 5:00 exactly.Maximum size is 800 Kb.

@{"NEXT ARTICLE..." LINK LunaticsShow}
@endnode
@node LunaticsShow "The MARVELLOUS(!) LUNATICS BALL-SHOW"
THE MARVELLOUS(!) LUNATICS BALL-SHOW
- RokDaZone/Infect -
The stage is dark and empty.
Suddenly - with a roar of timpanies -
the arena converts into a cettle of
colour. Spotlights run around,
varilights play their joyful game of
drawing delightful images over the
scenary almost virtually. The
well-known fanfares set in and yet
again the disastrous games have begun.
"It's saturday evening 8.15 p.m. after
the commercials. It's the time for...
> T H E M A R V E L L O U S ( ! ) <
> L U N A T I C S B A L L < "
While the theme fades out, the cheering
crowd gaze at the charismatic weird
dude who just appeared onto the bottom
area of the stage. "This is," he
shouts out over the noisy applauding,
"this is the LUNATICS BALL and I -
RokDaZone - again will be your host!!!"
The echo of the words remains in the
air for the friction of a second. The
cheers hold on, but the expectation
slowly calms down the noise into
silence. >>
Who is going to be the victim of the
lunatic himself, RokDaZone, this time?
Yet again so many squadrons of yellow
press reporters from CHIT CHAT, RAW,
42, EUROCHARTS, UPSTREAM, ABNORMALIA,
PROPAGANDA and GENERATION to name but a
few, have failed to bring the new name
on the red list out to the light.
"I'd like to say a warm welcome to you
here at my small lodge. It is time to
start the show, don't let us be waiting
any longer, for this is my very second
LUNATICS BALL and it's THEIR first. So
they won't get used to you before I
started squeezing them out."
"Lamies and Animals!" The smashing
theme sets in again. "Welcome with me
the Dutch masters. The people from the
mices heaven who recently crawled out
of their wind-mills to run over the
scene and to be here this evening.
Scare: Oh, PARTY I-IV. Fear: Oh,
Gathering. Vain: Oh, Assembly.
Ladies and Gentlemen - if here are any
- scream for the organising staff of
SOMEWHERE IN HOLLAND '95 !!!"
Five(!) new people enter the scene in a
straight row out of the synthetic-ice
dust. It's like the showdown in The
Revenge Of The Killertomatoes Part II.
Infernalically, "Oh, Daenneboom!" is
yelling out of the soundequipment. >>
First DOPE, who is a tall guy of about
1,95 m size. A slim giant whose
red-golden hair dazzles in the neon
lights. With the elegance of a seasick
penguin, he dances onto the stage.
Next to him BOULDERBRAIN. A massive
bull of a man with the tiny moustache
of a seacow - and that's also a perfect
description for his actual weight. A
man who loves to eat, yet - you haven't
seen him drinking...
Then, again a tall young man, wearing a
ridiculous cap over his long
albino-coloured hair. It's The FOX II
of REALITY. Shorteyed he blinks into
the arenas lights. An impressive man
who used to win hide-and-seek by hiding
behind a lamp-post.
Next, we see a 1,80 m. tall, decent
old fool, that somehow, isn't able to
built up a social life outside the
socalled scene. WIZZ of REALITY, leader
and sysop, that cares a lot about a lot
of things except his BBS, we'll see
what he'll make today..
Last and least, we find a guy trying to
look a lot like BOULDERBRAIN when it
comes to his weight, but in the years
he lost his moustache. ELLIOTT of
REALITY, a man of hidden talents, but
for some reason, he keeps them hidden
for years and years... >>
They greet the audience waving
nonchalantly, whilst walking over to
the middle of the stage, where
RokDaZone is just waiting.
As they've all sat down on the big
leather couch, RokDaZone opens the
first round: "After the disastrous
first 'Somewhere In Holland'-Party
under the WHITE LABEL-label - that in
fact nobody found - you have been
tactless enough to announce SIH II -
the first one after SIH I. The group
renamed into REALITY (with DOPE joining
LEMON.) and you expected everything to
be forgotten. Well, for known reasons
- plain inability that is - you were
forced to cancel that event shortly
before it was supposed to take place.
Now, you again plan to make a fool out
of yourselves by announcing the third
part of the nonexisting series. My
question, DOPE - How many people do you
think will be stupid enough to believe
in this new utter farce?"
"Well, as last year's cancelling had
it's reason that C= got bankrupted,
everyone accepted that the party was
cancelled. Therefore, I personally
believe that many people will be
interested in the SIH'95 event."
"WIZZ, you seem to be a rational minded
person and as I've experienced
unvoluntarily, you even managed to pass
your drivinglicense. How much money
did the others offer to you to take
part in the organising team and how
much money did it cost you to corrupt
the driving-examiner to let you pass
the driving test? Is all of this worth
to destroy a reputation that in fact
you don't have afterall?"
"What's wrong with me driving a car?
Ok, I'll admit, I like to drive FAAAAST
but I don't drive unsafe or drunk!
In fact it's nice to know that I've got
my drivers license for free for eating
50 packages of chewing gum and sending
in the labels.
As you might know: Reality is just a
group of real good friends who like to
have phun and party wherever they can
(and so is the SIH 95 organisation...)
so... no money was needed to get me
involved into the SIH crazyness."
"You've said it: What's there to be
distroyed, when there's nothing? We
just want to make a dream come true:
organising the greatest and biggest
party in Holland ever!"
"BOULDERBRAIN, you ain't a kid anymore,
in fact, you are 28 years old by now.
For good reasons you have been called
"Grandpa" at the Party IV multiple
times. Why are you eager to
participate in the organising of an
event for kiddies?" >>
"Age doesn't matter when you're wild at
heart: I still watch cartoons (ed.: XXX
rated Manga), hang around with young
people (ed.: harrasing 16 year old
girls) and enjoy the youth of my life."
"Now, FOX II please tell me: What
exactly are you doing in the organising
staff except for wearing ridiculous
caps?"
"What ridiculous caps? Those caps are
the nicest things that ever happenned
to me and they don't yell at me. Well,
Hm, I am taking care of the
soundequipment. I did it at SIH 1 and
I should have done it at SIH 2, but
some stupid company got broke and you
know the rest of the story."
"Why will you fail?"
"Fail? We won't fail (I hope) :)"
"The most unspectacular one of you is
of course ELLIOTT. In fact, Elli-Baby,
your biggest scenish success must have
been the printing of your picture in
ChitChat #15 - and that was nothing but
a mistake as MAGIC lately told me. Do
you hope to make yourself more
interesting by investing into something
that is doomed to fail?"
"Well, life in itself is a farce, you
always die, no matter what you do, so
why not invest in another failure, when
you are sure that nobody will know you
anyway when you are dead..?"
"For the next round, I beg you to give
some short commentary of yours in which
no one is really interested. What do
you think about..."
a)"...THE PARTY-Series, ELLIOTT?"
- "I only attended the last two
parties, and the atmosphere was
great, and, in the end, that is
what makes a party go around,
right?"
b)"...SIH 1, BOULDERBRAIN?"
- "I can clearly remember the first
day, watching some great Manga on
the big screen, joined by a crowd
of the finest quality; one of them
(probably a TRSI member) even
offered me a sandwich (which
turned out te be the meanest piece
of spacecake ever baked). To be
short: I only remember the first
day as I woke up a week later in
the arms of Gretchen, the sweatest
nurse on earth."
c)"Making profit out of parties, DOPE?"
- "As long as you want the event to
be a scene event, I don't think
it's wise to focus on making money
as the scene is built on a non-
profit ideal. On the other hand I
also believe the organisers can be
allowed to gain a little profit.
After all, they spent a huge
amount of time to get things
around the party going."
d)"Cutting your hair, FOX II?"
- "My mum always asks the same
question. I like my hair, if it's
long or short, but this time it's
something else than all those
suckers who have short hair.
Oops, sorry DOPE !!!!!"
e)"Safety facilities on parties,
ELLIOTT??"
- "You can light a Christmas-tree
with real candles, but in the end
the whole tree might burn."
f)"Professional companies organising
parties, WIZZ?"
-"Professional companies shouldn't
organise parties, because they
don't know what's going on in the
scene, so they probably won't
succeed in making a party succes-
full for the visitors.
Please keep in mind that
organisers of parties DO need
professional companies to sponsor
their party and NOT to run them!"
>>
g)"The "delay" of SATURN'95, FOX II?"
- "I don't know. I couldn't go if it
was held, because I had to play
some records at a Techno party in
Amsterdam.
So what delay ?"
h)"The future of the AMIGA, DOPE?"
- "I believe the Amiga has a good
market position when it comes to
video and multi-media. After the
buy out by Escom I think there are
good chances the Amiga will have
it's own market next to the PC's
one."
i)"Buying an AMIGA, BOULDERBRAIN?"
- "I am proud to announce that I am
going to sell my ZX-80 to buy my
very first Intel Amiga (or was it
a Commodore 80286?). Wait don't go
away, I'll ask Gretchen..."
j)"About my new jacket, all of you?"
- "Pretty good looking...!"
- "Hang it in some tree over there..
it might look good then..."
- "You should wash it with Dreft
accelerator. maybe it gets a
little better than."
- "Are you sure this a new one?"
After that round is finished, RokDaZone
turns with a new charismatic grin
towards the audience to provoke even
more emotion by using sarcastic
wittyness at certain poor individuals
of the crowd. The five participants
therefore have time to calm down a
little. ELLIOTT sits back and takes a
deep sip of the glass of sourcy - his
favourite drink. DOPE also emptied
three units of his favourite alcoholic
liquid cola-Bacardi and starts to look
a little dumb right now. Finally
RokDaZone turns back to his guest
stars.
"I wonder if REALITY afterall has done
more than announcing and cancelling
parties. After you will cancel SIH'95
somewhere in June, what are your groups
future cancelling-plans, FOX II?"
"We are working on a music disk of
Reality. It should be nice. All the
musicians of Reality are on that disk.
One problem, at the moment there is
only one musician!!! We're also
working on a demo, but YOU should ask
Elliott or Tycoon what will become of
it. We like organising internal
Reality meetings at "HELWIG CASTLE".
You should come over, and live trough
it, HA HA HA HA"
"In case, BOULDERBRAIN, SIH'95 gets in
a financial crisis shortly before the
event will take place: Are you awilled
to set in your own financial
possibilities to save the event? Will
you consider begging in the scene for
money? Or maybe a auction for shaving
your moustache?"
"As I am a registred blood-donor at the
Dutch 'GIVE-WHILE-YOU-LIVE' clinic, I
managed - over the last months - to set
aside enough money to bail me out if
things should go wrong.
To be more precise: after I've sold my
left kidney, I had enough cash to buy
me a ticket to the Bahama's. So if one
should fail to find me at the Party..."
"DOPE, it seems like LEMON. were a big
ripp-off of MELON. This isn't a
question, but a verifiable fact. SIH
is afterall a try for a ripp off of the
PARTY-series in Denmark. Are you proud
of taking part in two of the scene's
most unoriginal tries? When will you
ever start having own ideas?"
"Well, after the brain surgery I took
two years ago, I haven't been able to
think clear anymore. I guess I'll keep
having the problem for the rest of my
life..."
"Dope will ruin SPACEBALLS reputation
even more with SIH'95, ELLIOTT. For
REALITY, there isn't much to be ruined,
yet. After the last try, you guys
simply renamed. Have you already
picked out a new groupname? Will you
change your own handle, too?"
"Well, now that you mention it... The
story will start after the SIH'95
disaster, when everone in REALITY gets
suicidal frustrations, and identity
crisises. I think everyone will be
dead anyway after the party, so a new
name? No, we've never thought about it.
Yet. (But thanks for the suggestion.)"
"WIZZ... Wizz?" The announced
astoundedly looks up from some deep
thoughts and seems a little irritated.
"Wizz, you as absent-minded person: If
you could chose between taking over the
organising of an stable event like the
PARTY-series and the uncertainty of
SIH'95 - which one would you prefer and
why? In case you chose SIH'95 - do you
fear the PARTY-staff wouldn't accept
someone like you in their rows?"
"Being a mentally instable person ( and
ill too!), it would be insane and
impossible to choose the PARTY-series..
I wouldn't feel at ease without my
crazy brothers around me. We chase
each other with knives believing that
we are surgeons from St. Elsewhere. It
wouldn't be wise (what is..) to send
us over."

- "Oh, Daenneboom! Oh, Daenneboom!
Oh, Daenneboom! Oh, Daenneboom!"
- "Oh, Christmas Tree! Oh, Christmas
Tree!"
- "Oh, Tannenbaum! Oh, Tannenbaum!"
They all shake hands and grin into the
camera, the audience gets off their
seats in a last infernalic applaude,
the credits run over the screen. The
second issue of THE LUNATICS BALL was
even a bigger success than the
first one. RokDaZone has risen his
influence in scene and get famous for

It's my party and I cry if I want to
- The MARVELLOUS(!) LUNATICS BALL -
- by RokDaZone/Infect -
So, you plan another party, do you?
Dope, Wizz, Boulderbrain, Elliott, The
Fox II - do you afterall know, what
you can expect, eh? Yes, setting up
plans that's something everyone can do.
Yet, do you know what will really
happen? Well then, have a read and be
sure to get cured...
People keep being unfair. That's a
fact - a proven one. See, one spends
tons of time (at least one month!) just
to arrange a party for all sceners,
puts in much effort ("I'll spread the
invitations!") and money (well...) and
what is the effect? Everyone is
laughing at the organizer, tells them
what they have done wrong and what
oneself would have done better. It's
my party and I cry if I want to...
The inventory gets wrecked by
taurus-necked Germans with upper-lipp
beard. The local hospitals are
overcrowded with Scandinavians who did
their best to make the job of pumping
out their stomachs much easier by doing
it by themselves on the partyrooms
floor. Poles, pissed to catatony,
sleeping in their own puddle of freshly
puked Vodka-McDonalds chunk-mixup in
front of the ladies toilet, have to be
removed and transported back to their
trees. Afterwards, one may
additionally read disgusting reports in
a disgusting language-mix (called:
Scenglish for poorer-minded people) in
disgusting wannabe-mags by the same
disgusting Polish swapper.
Ain't we having fun?
Still, one plays the martyr. Over and
over, those organizers do it again.
Heroesque, they take the loss on their
right shoulder at ease: - They spend
much time to get money on the prices
for the competitions from sponsors
(which get cancelled in the end anyway,
so no real costs here). - They employ
volunteers to look after the crowd
(volunteers are quite costy as they
always demand to pay a little less for
entrance). - They have to pay
electricians and other staff for the
comfort of the sceners (oh, those
people normally "disappear" directly
before a party, so they fortunately
don't have to be paid in the end) -
They take the risk for the inventory on
their shoulders which can get very
costy (well, the insurances take the
risk, still one has to spend at least
the entrance-fee for four guests on
it!) - They have to borrow the sound-,
light- and videoequipment which is
extremely costly (for heavens sake,
those contracts tend to burst in the
very last seconds before a party, so no
replacement can be found - what leads
to diaprojectors on sheets which can be
found in every good grandma's
lumberroom (saves a LOT of money)) -
They have to rent the halls (well, the
costs normally get reduced as by
miracle, the heating doesn't work)
Additionally, as we all know, there
will never ever be enough visitors to
make the basic costs nill.
I can't say else, but I am feeling
really bad about that. These
organizers do everything to make the
highest profit... pardon... the
highest possible entertainment level on
their parties for us and we are nerdish
enough to be out with them for minour
features, like nothing they promised
was kept in the end...
At least the dudes from the
Party-series around X-Mas in Legoland
know how to make it safe. They show so
much professionalism that no one
actually recognises he is being
fooled... So, mates: Do you really
think it'll be worth the trouble?!?
It's your party and I'll make you cry
if I want to. >>> RokDaZone/INFECT <<<

Some Quite Thoughts...
- THE MARVELLOUS(!) LUNATICS BALL -
- by RokDaZone/Infect -
The times are ruffer than ever and many
attempts to organise a party fail
miserably. It's really scaring to see
how many possibilities we have to go to
and how few finally make it through all
the financial trouble. What remains is
a handful of parties that are worth
their names.
So, now I sit here and squeeze out some
friendly words for yet another try.
This time the SOMEWHERE IN HOLLAND '95.
Why do I do this? For what reason do I
write an article to proclaim that event
in cheese-land? For money what else...
Shocked? Well, calm down - I don't get
a single penny for this. It's just
since I always found it a difference to
see people who just promise and
promise, keep nothing and get massively
money out of it and those that keep a
little more quite and give their best.
Wasn't the later case the one from
SIH1? I mean there is nothing wrong if
they make their money. Why not? I
wouldn't like to organise such a risky
thing and if someone does, why
shouldn't he be rewarded for it?
>>
But this can't be the topic when
talking about SIH'95.
I know these guys are ambitious and we
all remembered how they proclaimed the
(sad) SIH2. It was a massive campaign
and believe me - the event was going to
be BIG. For known reasons everything
failed, yet not due to the fact that
the whole affair was unstable (like a
here not nearer defined wannabe event
in Paris) - what would you do to make
that A-bomb dropping directly over your
house stop? Blowing to make it fly
upwards? Naaaw, there was no way to
go...
What I always missed on parties was the
human aspect. The organisers never
managed to bring in a spirit. That's
of course a matter of sizes, ok. Yet,
then - with the expanding sizes - our
parties could also have become
exhibitions (the PARTY IV by the way
had tendencies towards that direction).
But we want no fucking exhibition. We
want a party, with a mood. Not just
sitting around and doing nothing except
for boozing and playing. We want the
spirit of the old times, when there
were no mega-screens and SCALA
(gnagnagna) and hi-quality equipment.
Is this the way SIH'95 will go?
Certainly not. But also certainly, the
organizers will bring in that
particular human aspect back to the
focus. No rioting "organizer"-hords,
kicking and humiliating peaceful
people. No self-justice. Of course:
When things go wrong they do but that's
individually to see.
Up to now, I have gotten few detailed
information directly from the
organizers and Dope told me they would
hold back most things in order not to
have promised too much. Spartanic? Or
maybe stupid as consumers are used to
be fooled? Don't know. All I know is
that it will pretty hard for Dope-baby
to keep his big mouth shut for he loves
to talk on what he is working.
I am curious and hope you are too,
cause in the later case we will meet
eachother:

@{"NEXT ARTICLE" LINK Guilder}...
@endnode
@node Guilder "Info on the Dutch Guilder.."
The Dutch Guilder
- An Overview -
The Dutch money is called 'Guilder' or
in the Dutch language "Gulden".
The abbreviation is 'Fl.'
At this moment Fl.100,- is worth about
65 US$. I am sure you can change money
in your own country, but in case you've
forgotten, or you didn't have time to
change; you can buy Guilders at any
bank, ie. at borders, train-stations or
airports. You should make sure your
country allows you to export your kind
of money!! For this transaction you'll
have to identify yourselves with a
passport.
NOTE THAT
At the party you can only pay with
Dutch money! No foreign currencies will
be accepted...
Kinds of money
- Fl. 0.05 coin, made of copper.
In Dutch it's called a "Stuiver".
- Fl. 0.10 coin, made of nickel.
In Dutch it's called a "Dubbeltje".
- Fl. 0.25 coin, made of nickel.
Dutch people call it a "Kwartje".
- Fl. 1.- Guilder coin, made of nickel.
- Fl. 2.50 Guilders coin made of nickel
we call it a "Rijksdaalder".
- Fl. 5.- Guilders coin, copper too..
[Picture 02]
This is a Fl. 10,- Guilders note..
- Fl. 25.- Guilders note, very red.
There are 2 kinds of this note which
are still both valid, so don't worry.
- Fl. 50.- Guilders note, very yellow,
with a Sunflower printed on it.
- Fl. 100.- Guilder note, also 2 types:
One is quite white with an owl
printed on it. The other is mainly
brown and has a bird printed on it.
- Fl. 250.- note, on which you can find
a lighthouse printed on one side...
- Fl. 1000.- Guilder note, green with a
man projected on it. But I don't
think you will see a lot of them :(
That's UNLESS YOU WIN of course!
Then there is still some money left,
but it is not very important to know
about it. Only seldom you'll find
Fl.10,- and Fl.50.- as a coin.
@{"NEXT ARTICLE" LINK Scene}...
@endnode
@node Scene "What exactly is scene??"
What Exactly is Scene??
- An extensive definition -
This article was written for people who
do not really understand what we mean
when we say 'scene'.
The computer-scene can be compared with
the music-scene. There are groups of
artists who are all doing different
things, like making computer GRAPHICS,
either a logo, fonts, entire screens or
even animations. Then there are artists
who make computerMUSIC. PROGRAMMERS are
often called coders. They make programs
meant for one type of computersystem.
Such a program could be an application
to make computerlife a lot easier. And
when these different artists come
together they can make a demonstration
or DEMO. A demo from a group in the
computerscene can be compared with a
video for a band in the musicscene.
Demos feature great calculated effects,
graphics and SUPERB music! Sometimes
those demos are used to get a job at a
softwarehouse. But for many years now,
they are mostly made for FUN AND FAME!!
Even when you are not very talented or
you don't have enough patience to be a
computerartist you can always become a
so called TRADER. Those are people who
exchange or swap software like demos,
either via snail mail, or a modem...
A lot of known groups have their own
Bulletin Board System(s) (BBS), which
normally contain a lot of recent
software and messages. Just like in the
music-scene most people in this scene
are using NICKNAMES. It is really easy
to recognise scene people. They turn up
at a party heavily loaded with food
(mostly junkfood), drinks (Coca-Cola,
coffee or beer, equipment (computers,
Stereos, Synthesizers, microwave ovens,
even fryingpans and refrigerators!)
They didn't sleep for a while because
of deadlines.. Well, I think you've got
quite a good picture of scenepeople by
now..
PARTIES
Demos are getting better and better,
graphics and music get excellent. At a
sudden time people started making
charts for single artists and groups.
Finally, of course, there are events
like SIH'95 which are called PARTIES.
A party is an event in a big hall where
groups and single artists come together
to exchange demos, ideas, knowledge,
software, computermagazines, tricks,
news, routines and many other things.
People are talking about subjects such
as Internet, the future.. Yes, even
about non-computer-related subjects...
They form new groups or expand their
group with some new people. They meet
old friends who they've met via mails
or previous parties. They make a lot of
new friends.. They get their big, once
in a lifetime chance to meet their
most favourite computerartist!!
Rare hardware is brought by the
visitors, the real freaks, like old
systems, the newest in technology,
Virtual Reality, all kinds of operating
systems, you just name it, it's there!!
It won't surprise you that there will
be some people present looking for new
talents to work for their label.
COMPETITIONS
At such events its custom to organize
@{"competitions" LINK Competitions}. To stimulate people to do
their very best, prizes are given for
the best Graphics, Musics and Demos.
All people present at the party can
make their votes for the productions.
The competions are usually the climax
of a party. After that people will copy
the productions from the competition
and then they are heading for home...
One important thing on the party is the
BIG SCREEN. This is where most of the
action is. Anything will be shown,
like graphics, demos, homevideos, the
newest movies (MANGA!) and musicvideos.
Besides that the screen is also used as
an information medium. It shows all
coming events, missing things, results
for the competitions and a lot more..
It has a central place in the hall so
everybody will be able to see it..
Parties continue AT NIGHT, but for the
ones who still lead a normal life there
is always a sleepinghall. Still a lot
of people are found sleeping on their
keyboards...
Most people come from Europe, but some
are even coming over from the other
side of the world!! I think you've got
the picture by now... A party is quite
an INTERNATIONAL event!!
