More than 600 freaks were gathered in a Those were the good things, here are school near Odense, but was the party the bad ones: worth the money..? Because of problems with drunk people First of all, the positive things abo- on other parties, Dexion had decided ut the party: not to allow any alcoholics at the par- The place was quite good. As mentioned ty. It is understandable, that they above, the conference was held in a didn't wan't it to be a boozeparty, but school, were you could choose either to they were quite fanatic about it, so sit in a hall with noise and lots of the place was full of kids with walkie- people, or in small classrooms with mo- talkie's screaming "I am now located in re peace and only one or two groups in sector D, and I just caught a person, each.The lavatories and the bathing fa- drinking a beer", or searching the cilities were okay, but not the best I trashcans for bottles and so on.

The prices were very reason- party, but they were not organized very able compared to other parties and to a well. In the democompetition, there was normal burger bar. The burgers were not a jury, that was to judge wether the of the McDonalds standard though. demos were "good enough" to compete.Un Dexion Party Report fortunately, their judgements were very random and sometimes almost corrupt. The Vision demo, for example, was not allowed to compete, even though it was much better than a couple of the other demos, that got through. Of course some demos (there was a demo, which was cre- ated in RSI's demomaker) were too lame to compete, but it is unfair not to let the audience judge for itself! I wouldn't say that this party was a failure, but that certainly wasn't the organizers' fault.It was worth the mon- ey, but nothing more than that. I don't think Dexion will be more popular becau- se of this party. It's rather opposite. The democomp top 3: 1. Phenomena's Animotion 2. Budbrain's Megademo 2 3.
