Eclipse '92 Party =================== Yo Dudes!. It's Green-Beret from Submission Ire- land with a full Party-Report of Ire- lands first Amiga party which took place on 30th August 1992. Ok let's start with the action.The pardey took place in Dublin's Royal Dublin Hotel at 12:00.Pardey organisers were Green- BeretGSBS,GazzerGEclipse,JayGEclipse , HokumGEclipse N PolarisGEclipse. Heres the idea behind the party.EclipseGSub- mission Ireland said after heading to the Quartz pardey in the uk. If every other country can have one, why can't we ? SO we did and then came the orga- nising , well pissups as they were known. Anyway, I'm probably sounding really boring at the moment as it's yet again a dull Saturday morning. The response to the party was greater than expected with 84 people arriving and most of them took part in the party. Here are the main groups who took part EclipseGSubmissionGQuadrigaGTRIAD-IRLG Cubic Designs,all lame groups by in- ternational standards but at least we are making an effort. Our productions may look as if they are 3 years old but we have to start somewhere. Little by little,the Irish scene is getting better and better. Heres a run-down of what happened at the pardey. AT 16:00 the comps started and surprisingly enough the response was cool, there were 16 entries in the musak competi- tion,all the tunes were of very good quality. Here were the guyz who enter- ed the competition.CreedGEclipse.Puni- sherGIND, JokerGMDMA, The BOD N Tekk- noidGCubic Designs. Here were the winners: 1:PunisherGIndependent 2:CreedGEclipse Sorry I can't remember the names of the tunes. However if anyone is inter- ested Gazzer assembled a musak disk of the entries which took up 3 disks and which is available from most BBS's or writing to myself. Ok lets proceed to the gfx comp.All entries again,equally all of a cool standard. Here were the entrants: Creed,AXIL,DionysisGEclipseN PunisherGIND ! Here were the winners: 1:AxilGEclipse 2:DionysisGEclipse Ok the demo comp was pretty lame by all standards with only 2 entries.They were from Quadriga N MDMA. Here were the winners: 1:QUADRIGA 2:MDMA And of course last but not least the Kick Off competition which was one by HighlanderGSymbiosis. -------------------------------------- All you dudes reading this probably say, what a lame party, well it's just to give you an idea that there is a growing scene in Ireland and the ta- lent is there, it is just that the dudes are too lazy. The musak competi- tion was cool thanx to Mista Fantastic and Rowley who brought in some cool sound gear@a 2kW PGA system and mixers and cd players. We blasted the tunes around the hotel and rattled the mirrors.The pardey organisational wise was far from perfect as myself and the other organisers got totally pissed and things went out of control. But here's a first for an Irish BBS,we had 2 online modems there HST's download- ing 0 day old stuff from the USA compliments of ATNT. Here were some of the dudes that travelled a long way 300km's to make it there DADGQuadriga from cork,WombleGTriad,JokerGMDMA etc and also 5 dudes from Belfast Higgy etc from QUadriga. As with a usual pardey,even if the quality of gfxGmu- sakGdemos etc was crap, at least you can catually meet the people behing the codeGgfx etc and that was cool.The Irish scene is going from strength to strength,it takes time like everything else. Forbidden Planet BBS,Ireland's first is slowly getting there with more and more international callers and most Irish dudes are now 9600G14.4 which is a welcome change. Irelands next pardey will be called the fusion Zone which will take place on Saturday 19th of December.It will be organised by myself Green-beretGSubmission. As usual it will feature some cool sound equipment and organisimg. Hopefully by then,more groups will decide to take part and enter the various comps and lead to a better scene.Ok guyz,this is your chance now guyz.
