European Computer Conference (ECC'93) report by Smaugur --------------------------------------- The Party was held in AĆrebro / Sweden I b remember when we sat on the bus and many in the bus was ready for party sitting with monitors and Amiga 500 when I and Crion a friend of mine where at the Entrance it cost about 140 SEK (13 Euro). Crion said that he was very peckish to se Dual Crew Shining demo that was going to be a AGA multitasking demo. This was my first computer party and I was very exited all the time! (15 years old) I talked some with Phenomena who had smuggled in some Beer and Vodka and they where very friendly and asked me if I wanted some. The music compo was nice some songs was really funny In the end when Excellate played everybody was like wow! And later on a TV 21 showed up and was interviewing a lot of people and one of them was Probe who wan the music compo. The organizers was nice they let me take pictures of them when they were checking the contributions. The prizes to be won in the demo competi- tion differed a lot from what was promised in the invitation; the prize for the winner was promised to be 15,000 SEK (1,400 Euro), but in the end it became 2,000 SEK and an A1200. And I also remember that Rage demo 'Neural Assault' was cool seeing Dart Vader going to the toilet wonderful! Everybody were laughing out load when that showed up. I will also remember that the demo 'G' by Noise was cool too. Many groups had there group sign up to show themself. Limited Edition was one of them and I had a friend among them who was a musican he can be seen on overview picture (the 3rd from the left). I found some new friends on the Party as seen on the other picture (check bonus!) is Pero and was a musician. About 300 visitors showed up on ECC 93. There where also a thief on the party trying to steel an Amiga 1200 and the Police showed up rumour who quickly came out was that it was a member from the group Genetic who got caught. I also took some heavy pictures with my camera but my Camera was old so I had to turn back the hole film back by hand and it was A little bit sad when, I was totally sure that I had taken the film back that is what not and 3 Pictures survived of 36... But seeing it from the bright side 3 pictures are better than nothing. And I also got some new friends that I am still in contact with.
