Apocalypse Party Report

Introduction

   It's a little bit strange to write a party report about a party organized by myself and my friend Dizzy/HLA, but when I was asked by one of the most kolored members like Magic/Nah-Kolor, it cannot be dropped without some reaction, hehe..  So...

   Apocalypse'2000 was the second edition of one of newest Amiga party's here in the Czech Republic, the first one was in September 1999 in the same place as this one - in a little town Brandys nad Labem situated on the east of Czech capital, Prague.

   We decided to make APC'2k longer than last issue, se we took advantage of the one of czech events and made this party three days long. In saturday we wanted to run the compos and sunday we decided to make something like music day with DJs (our friends) which can play drum'n'bass, jungle, techno etc. It was great plan, but not for some people.

The Party Itself

   On friday, polish friends arrived with my help from Prague to Brandys in the similar time as last time and we got drunk that night with them. There was many of very known and cool sceners among the poles, for example: Azzaro/MWI+FLP,  Qix, Pesti/NAH, Maq/APX+FLP, Ubik/WPZ+APX+HVL etc. The rest of the party place became the pub's garden as always and people were surprised of the cheap beer (again!:) This was the best thing for making a good atmosphere just before the whole party.

   Saturday; The czech scners arrived later than last time although the party could begin at 10:00. Dizzy's program which could help us with many works (database, results...) seemed to be with some bugs, so we had to make all without that. The compos began before 18:00. I was very disappointed by absence of any asciis and demos (only Reason`s demo was there alone in the demo compo). As always, there was many good music and not so good pictures, but there wasn't enough. The party date wasn't chosen in the right time, because there was Mekka&Symposium'2k one week before our party and many demos was released there rather than at Apocalypse. Some people asked us for pause the compo for that day and to continue on sunday, so we agreed also because we had some problems with animations.

   On sunday, most of the people had left home although they knew about sunday night`s music program and there was only the rest of very scene-interested czech people and all polish sceners, but anyway, the most of czechs had gone and this is what i cannot understand. The DJ's played very well although many people spent their time rather outhere in the garden.

The Party is almost over

   The end of party was on monday. Some freaks copied party stuff on their harddisks,  discussed with some foreigners, drink some nice beers and left home too... Everything ended in afternoon, when polish sceners and the rest of czechs went home too. We was surprised of lack of people afterall, we had to pay some money from our pockets, because we counted on more sceners visiting our party...  A pity! Afterall, we were a little happy for better organization of compos then last time, because we made a lot of extra free time by that, although there were hardware problems as always..

What did we learn?

   It was a big mistake from us to make a party for three days. Czech people are not accustomed of it. The next party will be better because of our collected experience. I know for sure! We want to thank all the peoples who enjoyed our party and all polish sceners for big moral support! I hope you will visit us again! Until next time!
