³C.C.C.C.P Party report
¹
Last   year   Chromance  announced  the
biggest     party    ever    seen    in
Budapest/Hungary.   It was a big succes
really.     This    summer    Cerberos,
Chromance,  C/Mania  tried  to organize
the ultimate computer fun show!

Let's see what happened there!

The  party  was  organized  on 6-7th of
September  1991  in  Budapest, Hungary.
The  party  place  was an university of
technical  studies.   Before  the party
there  were some rumours which said the
first  price  would  be  5  packs  5.25
noname  disks.   So It was really a bit
depressing  for  us, but finally we had
finished  our  competition demo one day
before the party.

We   went   by  train  from  Sopron  to
Budapest.   Of  course with 75% reduced
tickets.   In  Kapuvar Version/Majic 12
and some lame faces get into the train.
I wanted to give signals to Version, so
I   pulled   down  the  window,  but  I
couldn't  pull  down  it 10 centemetres
longer,  and  I  couldn't  draw  up the
window.    After   20  minutes  in  the
compartment  it was about 5 centigrades
cold.   Everybody  dressed  up, and the
old  people  left  the  comparment.  No
problem  - at least we had enough space
in the comparment.  On the train we met
some  freaks  from the Soc.Brigade.  We
had cool time there.

We  reached  Budapest at 10:00 and from
the railway station wanted to go to the
party   place   with  tram.   The  only
problem was that there wasn't any trams
coz  the tramline was under repair.  So
we  had  to  go  on  a bus.  Finally we
reached  the party place.  The entrance
fee  was 70Fts for Saturday and 100 Fts
for  Saturday  and Sunday.  In the hall
we  met  some  freaks from Live Act and
23C.   We wanted to go in free, so when
a little part of the folding screen was
removed   we   tried   to  go  in  with
Jaby/Live,   but   the  shithead  guard
caught  us.   So  we  had  to  pay.  We
bought tickets only for Saturday.  Then
we looked around.  There was a real big
place for computer freaks, but the hall
was  nearly  empty.   It  was  only for
lamers.

Then  we  went to the first floor where
the  real  party  place  was.   Then we
found that we had to pay again 200 Fts,
a bit too much.  I thought a little and
finally  I  solved this problem.  There
were two gates to the real party place,
but  the  organizers  took care of only
one  of  the gates.  It would have been
ok,  but  Jean/Cerberos had found us in
the party room and asked for our hands.
There  wasn't  any  stamps so we had to
pay,  and  we paid.  But luckily we had
got  back  a  little  amount  from  the
tickets, coz I went out from the lamers
place  and  sold  our  tickets  at half
price     to    some    freaks.     (Hi
Asti/Soc.brigade and Matrix/Grace!)

Ok  it  was  time  to look around.  The
elite  party  place  was  a  small room
which  was filled up with crazy freaks.
The   following   groups  showed  up  :
Majic12(H),     Soc.Brigade(H),    Live
Act(H), 23C(H), Katharis(PL), Acme(PL),
Grace(H), TRSI(A), X-ray(A), Energy(A),
Cerberos(H),   Chromance(H),   Agnostic
Front(D)  and  many  many  more C64 and
other smaller Amiga groups.

I  had great chat with Mr.Root/Acme and
S.S.Captain  and Jerry/KTS and our good
friends   from   Austria,   Spikey  and
Schlumie/X-ray.   The  main problem was
at  the  party that there wasn't enough
Amiga  for  doing something.  Everybody
hunted for machines.

There  was  a  big  stereo in the room.
Unfortunatelly  there  wasn't  a  video
projector  so  it  was  used mainly for
module playing.  B.B.Mixmaster/Majic 12
played  some  of  his fab Yello tracks.
The crowd were totally amazed.

About  18:00  a  bloody news arrived to
us.   The  party will close at 22:00 so
everybody  have  to  look  around for a
sleeping  place.   It  was  really lame
thing.

At  the end of the first day we started
to  reach Ultravox/Majic 12's relatives
empty  house.   They  were on vacation.
The  X-ray  guys joined us.  We want to
go by tram again, but ofcoz we couldn't
so we went by bus.

After  some  stations we get off.  Then
started to walk to the house.  After 10
minutes  of walking Spikey bought a big
melone.   We  said  to him 'Do you know
that  we are going to wrong direction?"
Everybody laughed, but we went to wrong
direction  really!  So after 30 minutes
we were again where we get off from the
bus.   In  the  night we met lotsa guys
from  the  party in the subway.  We met
Comiga/Soc.Brigade  and Bruce/Cerberos.
Bruce  showed  us  the way to our house
(Thanx)   and   Ultravox/Majic  12  saw
ADT/Soc.Brigade.   Finally  we  were at
the house.  There we watched TV and ate
the  melone then we talked a little and
went to bed.  I have to say that it was
really  a  good  thing to sleep about 6
hours in a real bed (with Rack/Majic 12
and  Version/Majic  12)  coz next day I
was really fine for the party.
On  Sunday  morning the X-ray boys left
us  and we went back to the university.
Then  there  was  some  problems coz we
didn't  buy  tickets  for Sunday and we
had  trouble with the doorkeeper.  Fuck
you  lamer.   Finally  we paid only the
difference  with  Sunday+Saturday minus
Saturday  (30  Fts).   So  we  were  in
again.   In  Sunday  the main hall were
only  half  filled  with people.  So we
went up to the first floor again.

Then  it  was  the  time  for  a little
copying.   We  found  a free machine it
the  ground  floor.   So  I  changed my
stuffs  with S.S.Captian/KTS.  While we
were copying there some lamers asked us
for  programs.   One  of them gave me a
list with some programnames and gave me
some  disks.   I  asked  him why he had
given  it  to  me.   The answer was the
following  "if  you  have  this program
copy  it  for  me."  We  kicked his ass
ofcoz!

At  12:00 the competition started.  The
sound  was  OK, but the the monitor for
Amiga  was  a  lame  hungarian  Tv with
modulator, coz there was a problem with
the Scart cabel or with the Scart plug.

First  there was the music competition.
There  were about 15 tunes played.  The
master       of       ceremony      was
Petroff/Soc.Brigade  coz  Jean/Cerberos
couldn't  use  protracker.  He said I'm
only  a  swapper.   Petroff  played the
whole  tunes  from start to end (really
nice!)  and  then  he said who made the
song.   It  was  really  funny  coz his
english  spelling was really funny.  He
spelt  Grace  really  intresting so the
whole  hungarian  scene laughed at him.
The winner was Mr.Root/Acme.

After   that   there   was  the  grafix
competition.   The  winner was Joe/TRSI
and  the  second  was Alex/Soc.brigade.
The diference was only one vote.

After  that  the  demo  competition was
arranged.   It  was  really  funny, coz
there  was  only  one demo, Ray of Hope
II.   It  was  showed from start to end
and  then  we were the winners.  What a
easy  winning, but I think the demo was
really  fab!   We worked with it a lot.
The   first   price   were   200  disks
(Tunsgram,  which  is a hungarian firm.
I  saw the one pack costs in a computer
store nearly 2.000 Fts, which is really
expensive,    but    the    disks   are
absolutelly   shit,   with  lotsa  read
errors.)  and  we  got  a  par of Hi-Fi
boxes.

There   was  a  C64  demo  competition.
Sorry  I  don't  know  who  won it, but
there  was  lotsa  foreigner C64 freaks
too.  (The winner was Cosmos Design(A))


It  was  a  good  thing  that everybody
might vote.  There wasn't a jury.

At 16:00 the party closed so we started
to  go  home.   We had again cool times
with  the  Soc.Brigade members.  All in
all the party was good for me coz I met
lotsa  friends,  but the organizing was
really  weak.   The  only organizer who
tried    to    make    something    was
Jean/Cerberos.  So all of my regards to
him,  coz he tried to do something, but
the other group members left him alone.
Shame  on  you!!   And there wasn't any
projector,   nonstop   food  supply  or
internal infosystem!
