                              read everything about the  saturne party III here:
                                                                                
                                                                                
                              THE PARTY PLACE                                   
                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                                   
                              The Party  took place in  Chelles  (ca. 40km) away
                              from  Paris-Centrum.  It was not very difficult to
                              find although there weren't any signs.            
                                                                                
                              ENTRANCE                                          
                              ~~~~~~~~                                          
                              The entry fee was 120 Ff,  and you were stamped by
                              the old saturne II stamp (where you want) ;^). The
                              organisers did count 620 people came to the party.

                              THE ORGANISERS                                    
                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                                    
                              At  all,  the  organisers were  very  friendly and
                              helpful.  You  couldn't notice any security guards
                              standing  around  like in other parties and so the
                              people were also very peaceful.                   
                                                                                
                              THE HALL                                          
                              ~~~~~~~~                                          
                              There were two halls. One big, and one not so big.
                              ;^) In the main-hall, there was a 6mx4m screen and
                              a  Barco  8000  Projector.  The Projector was very
                              bright and good to look at!                       
                              Unbelievable  but  true:  Power-Failures  were not
                              rare!                                             
                                                                                
                              PARLEZ VOUZ ENGLESE?                              
                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                              
                              All the time,  the OPs spoke french! Everybody un-
                              derstood  what happened at the party except people

                              from holland,  austria,  germany, spain and other!
                              (c'est la vie ?????) Also the Info-Sheets for Com-
                              petitions,  Times etc. was written down in french!
                              Maybe,  they should had at least one organizer who
                              could  speak english.  And they even didn't under-
                              stand these magic words: PARLEZ ENGLESE, S'IL VOUS
                              PLAIT!                                            
                                                                                
                              THE RULES                                         
                              ~~~~~~~~~                                         
                              Smoking and alcohol (and of course drugs) were not
                              allowed. Nobody despised the rules. The partyplace
                              stayed  clean all the time.  There was an open air
                              place inside the hall to smoke.                   
                                                                                
                              SLEEPING ROOMS                                    
                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                                    
                              For sleeping,  you had to go upstairs and sleep in
                              in  a  little  passage.  It  was too small and not
                              enough  for  everybody  who  wanted to sleep.  And

                              there also was lights in the sleeping places where
                              you hardly could sleep! So, many guys had to sleep
                              in the main-hall in front of their computers.     
                                                                                
                              BON APPETIT!                                      
                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~                                      
                              Outdoors there was a pizza-bus where you could buy
                              a  pizza (made in france) without taste for 40 Ff.
                              It  was also possible to buy something in the hall
                              24 hours.                                         
                                                                                
                              THE MORALE                                        
                              ~~~~~~~~~~                                        
                              Some AMIGA-guys destroyed some pentiums and Ataris
                              with  big sticks & swords outdoors in front of 300
                              One  of  the  guys hurt his hand, but he wasn't to
                              stop hitting the desktop of the PC!               
                              In the night, four really good looking chicks dan-
                              ced  (nearly naked ;^) on the stage for our amuse-
                              ment with cool music! (that was great!)           

                              After  this,  some  scene guys danced on the stage
                              behind  the  curtain with  'spaceballs demo #1' in
                              the front.  But after this, the party was very bo-
                              ring.  Nobody was drunk (no beer), nobody was high
                              (no drugs) ;^) Everything was quiet, no action for
                              the rest of the time!                             
                                                                                
                              WHAT ELSE HAPPENED ?                              
                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                              
                              - Uyanik/TRSI  won some of his own CD for the Wild
                                Compo! (great)                                  
                              - Merlin-M! and Evrimsson (that's me) joined TRSI.
                                ...  for 3 minutes!  Now,  they are also ex-TRSI
                                members. Then, they were kicked because of inac-
                                tivity!                                         
                              - Two PC guys didn't play DOOM - really!!(no, just
                                kidding, they did!)                             
                                                                                
                                                                                
                                                                                

                              THE COMPETITIONS                                  
                              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~                                  
                              The worst and first competition was the music com-
                              petition.  There  was  a PREVOTING for every tune.
                              The  best tunes (tunes from famous musicians etc.)
                              were SORTED OUT by an unknown jury! Only big tech-
                              no and sampled shit (400K-800K) were played!      
                              Additionally,  Protracker-Tunes  and Multichannel-
                              Tunes  were mixed together. It seemed that the or-
                              ganisers didn't know the difference,  maybe that's
                              why they played every tune on a PC!               
                              All  Powerpacked-AMIGA-Tunes  were not prevoted to
                              to play(because pc)                               
                              Maybe AMIGA-Tunes with weird Filenames didn't pre-
                              vote to play(because pc) We learned: PC SUXX again
                              and: PREVOTING from people with no idea-suxx too! 
                                                                                
                              The Gfx competition came very late (at 5pm).  Many
                              people were already sleeping.  And by a mistake of
                              the operators, one picture was not shown.         

                              The  demo  and other competitions weren't on time,
                              and  all  people  from  other countries but france
                              couldn't  understand  when  the  compos  would  be
                              shown,  because  they used to speak french all the
                              time!

                              The  voting sheets were collected after every com-
                              petition in big boxes.
