Party report from The Party 6 in Aars, Denmark.



I left my house in Årnes, Norway at 10:30. The bus were going leave from the railwaystation in Oslo at 12:00.. At around 11:30 I arrived at Oslo S. (The railwaystation).. There I met up with Skjeggspir/Contraz and some other dudes waiting for the bus.. We got all packed up, and opened the first beer 1 minute later! :) Baffle/Delirium had brought with him 8 0.5l cans of beer, and I got 4 of them.. STh/Corrupt had some whitewine, but the other dudes mostly had to stay thirsty! (Poor fellas..) Around 14:00-14:30 we stopped in Porsgrunn, Norway, to pick up some more people.. we had been used to have plenty of space up to now, but after this stop the bus got quite full.. ;/ We arrived in Kristiansand, Norway, around 19:00 or so, and the ferry left at 19:30.

When we got on the boat, the first thing we went to was, you got it, the bar! :) Some time after we all got our first beer, they actually raised the limit to buy beer to 20 years! I have no idea why, since the boat was a norwegian and danish boat, and in both countries you can buy beer when you're 18.. but.. ;/ well.. anyways, they did!.. and only Sixpack/Gods and Ludde was more than 20 years old.. (It was 7 days left until my 20th birthday) but still the barkeeper was convinced that I were 20, so I didn't have any problems with this, but all the others had.. So they went to the taxfree-shop to buy some beer, and I joined them, since they're all good friends, and it's not cool drinking beer almost alone :).. I bought another sixpack.. then we went outside and started boozing some more.. After a while, two of the officers of the boat came along and spotted us.. They told us with quite a friendly voice (they were 2, we were 15..) that we weren't allowed to drink beer we had bought in the taxfree-shop.. ;/ so.. we left this place, and went back inside to find some other place to drink.. we ended up back in the bar.. I bought a new beer, so I got a glass.. And then I just sat there refilling my glass when it started to get empty.. Worked fine.. well.. after this I don't remember much actually.. I guess you can read about me in Baffle's collection, and some other norwegian peoples collection too.. I barely remember that I filled out the small blanket at the entrance to TP, but that's it.. I was in! :) (I later got told I had puked in the middle of the bar, and also on my and Baffles cd's, and Baffle scarf.. I'm not sure.. Baffle had carried me off the boat.. never mind.. ;))

The first thing we did inside the partyplace was to rig up our stereo.. We had two 15" loudspeakers.. so.. enough sound for everyone, and we got 4 complaint from the organizers about playing too loud, and the 4th time they told us, that if they got more complaint about us, they would have to do something about it!.. we also got some complaints from other people.. so we were forced to turn down the volume.. ;( What kind of a party is this?? A bingo-evening for old people? WE WANNA PLAY LOUD! but no way.. we had arrived at the partyplace around 03:00 on the 27th, so there weren't that many people there yet.. this is probably why they were complaining.. we were the only ones playing loud.. yet.. So.. I decided to go to sleep.. I could need some sleep to get rid of the alcohol in my blood..

When i woke up again, there were looads of people present, and I could feel the "party feeling" rise in my blood, although I had a bit of a hangover.. it actually wasn't that bad, since I had puked and so on.. And I usually don't get that much of a headache.. Everyone always hates me for that :).. Anyways.. I got up, and started walking around trying to find some familiar faces, uh.. handles :).. The first people I met were Speed Devil.. We were talking with Crisp/BK and Franky/BK.. Nice to meet you guys!.. That day I met MANY people.. like Fury/PSG (Hi, handsome! ;)), Nike/TRSI (Bergensere, uff..), Marwic/TRSI (Tjena're polar'n.. Du skulle ha supat lite mere!), Whirlwind/RYL (He's too shy to even give away a hug!), Repoman/Massive (wildcompo bidragene var helt sinnsykt heftige, så..), Bakerman/Depth (Merry Christmas, santa!), Curt Cool/Depth (Just woke up, eh?), Mat/Ozone (Too bad about the handdrawn pics, dude.. Hope you can get your hands on 'em again) Flozzy/Decision (Stop using your mac, and start boozing!), Zinko/RYL (Mr.linguistic!), Clary/Crux (Aspirine! Aspirine!), Jerry/rebels (Haiket dere? ;D), Slime/Royal (Get more stickers next time! ;)), Radiocity/DCN (Real cool to see you, m8! You should get some more beers, and go boozing with us!), Snuffy/Babe (Mmm... Hei, elskling.. Du gir bedre klemmer enn Baffle!), Kaneda/Mystic (Speak up, m8! get some beer and go party next time!), Radavi (Didn't see you after that time with all the balloons and stickers.. Or did I?), Uyanik/TRSI^FLT (Did you sell some more cd's? ;)), Rekall (Schust grabben!.. eller hur fan du skriv det.. ;)), xxx/Haujob (Partymensch #1!), Mario/TRSI (Kewl meeting you, m8!), ECS/TRSI (Du auch!, or something)... hm.. many more too I guess.. Can't remember everyone!

On the 27th we were sitting in Hall 2 drinking beer.. Baffle and I had some beers which we shared, and Rekall had some Vodka.. others also had booze, but I can't remember everything.. The reason for why I remember these things so good is that when I were sitting there drinking my beer, suddenly it got snapped out of my hands, by a.. GUARD! oh no!.. fuck.. Baffle gave away his beer freely, without being asked.. I have no idea how he (the guard) could turn up so suddenly.. Noone saw him before he snapped my beer out of my hands!.. ;/ too bad.. well.. he left, and Baffle and I almost started drinking again (Baffle had a plasticbag full of beer under his chair.. But then another guard (or was it the same? I don't remember..) came along with a flashlight.. And he pointed it at Rekall's plasticbag, like if he wanted to see what was in it.. Rekall picked up a can of soda.. Hoping that the guard would settle with that.. but no.. He walked over to rekall's place, opened the plasticbag, and picked out 0.5l of smirnoff vodka.. almost unopened.. Cybergod had taken one SMALL sip out of it.. so we were quite upset.. Luckily the guard still didn't notice Baffle's bag, so we could keep on drinking.. Due to these incidents, we moved out to a van outside.. Snuffy and some of his friends, owned it, and there were room for more people.. we were around 25 people or something.. WAY too many.. But I don't know what happened to most of us.. Suddenly we were only norwegian people, except for Cybergod from Sweden.. At least there were room enough for us now.. :) plenty of fun, and no guards! ;D

When we were out of booze, we left for the city.. or well.. rather a small village or something.. two small pubs, and one small disco.. We met up with some other people in the town and entered the first pub.. there were like.. 5-6 people there or something, and they were all old.. But then we came in. and the place really took off.. One of us (don't remember who) had a small stereo with him, and he were playing some kewl ravemusic.. but then he got told by the people who owned the place, that e had to turn off the music.. so.. we left!.. Then we got to the disco.. (We never went to the other pub, just outside it.. it looked deserted!).. well.. the disco wasn't that bad this weekend.. It must've been cool to live in Aars this weekend.. the place were soaking with forreigners, and it was real fun.. Baffle was getting very drunk by this time, and he tried to hang in the lights above the dancefloor.. :) ofcourse he got some complaints from the owners, so he stopped.. I didn't see him in a while actually.. but everyone was real happy, and I had a great time!.. When I got back home I went to sleep almost immidiately.. I was so fucking tired you know!

The next day, when I woke up, I went to the cafeteria and bought 1.5l of 7up.. In the queue I met up with Clary again.. Happy reunion :).. She told me the other people (Fury, Skywalker and Zinko at the moment I think) were sitting upstairs.. so.. after buying the soda, I went up there.. Everyone looked like hell that day, And Clary had some Aspirine.. She claimed they worked, but I never tried them.. Mario and ECS also came upstairs after a while, and everyone started to speak german.. Except for Clary and me, everyone knew german.. So.. atleast I felt kinda stupid just sitting there, not understanding anything.. So.. I left to find Baffle, and check what he had been doing last night.. I couldn't find him.. So I went to see Nike .. I think.. well.. atleast I went around for a while.. Then someone (I think it was Skjeggspir/Contraz) told me that Baffle had been kicked out of the party!!.. Cheezus!.. So.. I went outside to look for him, but I couldn't find him.. Later on I found him sitting in the cafeteria, still looking like hell.. He stopped drinking 10 hours earlier but was still drunk.. So.. probably someone had put something in his glass or something.. I dunno.. Well.. Baffle had been playing music at max volume during the multichannel competition :) so.. some guards came over to him, to make him stop playing.. When they got there, they found a Baffle drunk like hell, just babling.. So.. They threw him out, and told him that he could get his wrist-ban back, when he was sober.. So.. bye bye Baffle.. He was in that cafeteria for 15 hours or so, and then he came back in..

Ofcourse we had to drink this day too.. Zinko and Clary had some beers, and I tasted some of theirs.. (I didn't have anything).. Then I got a beer from The Godfather and Mute.. Since they had some in their car.. I also got some vodka from Ludde, Skjeggspir/Contraz and Rekall (not that much from any of them though ;/) But.. We (Ludde, Skjeggspir, Rekall and I) sat at my place watching the wild-compo.. fuck.. It was awesome!.. Some of the competitors had really spent time on making them, and I was impressed like hell!.. well.. since it was getting a bit late.. Rekall, Sixpack/Gods and I decided to go downtown for some more beers.. on the way out we met Zinko and Clary again, and we made plans to go to the same place this night too (As if there were any choice :)).. we got to Sixpacks table, so he could pick up some more beer, and then Rekall went over to his table to get some more vodka.. and then!.. we hit the streets.. I was just stealing from sixpack and rekall.. :) well.. as we were walking around we met up with xxx/haujob and some other german people.. they were quite drunk too, and were running around making a mess.. :) after a while we(six, rek & I) went back to disco.. There weren't that many people there yet, but we met Anders/Proxima and some other pc-sceners from Finland, and norway.. and had some more beer.. then people started showing up one after another.. and the place was taking off again :)

Baffle didn't show up this time, since he was feeling rather sick.. But the rest of us had a really good time.. Skjeggspir got himself a girlie, and they're going to write to eachother and blah blah.. u know.. I don't know what will happen, but since it's q while 'till the next time Skjeggspir will be in dk, you can all take a guess.. Enex/contraz also got a gf, and he also shagged her that night :) So know you all know, hehe.. the beer costed a little bit more than 2$ (15 DKR) for one bottle of Tuborg (0.33l).. quite cheap for us norwegians when we're used to paying 5-6$ for 0.5l beer.. Yep.. Norway is very expencive... Everyone were buying loads, and I had a really great time this night as well.. I also met Sisko and Bilbo Baggins this night.. The demo competition started at 04:00 this night.. And I was going to watch it ofcoz.. But.. I fell asleep.. thypical.. well.. nevermind.. I'll get to see the demos later..

The 29th, someone woke me up with the words "We're leaving in 30 mins!".. uhm.. nice.. not!.. We were going to leave at 10:00 !.. that's too fucking early in my opinion.. but.. there were nothing I could do.. I didn't have much to pack.. no computer with me etc.. I actually never even touched a poweroutlet this weekend.. :) what a computer-party!.. never touched a keyboard either.. I played some playstation though.. Well anyways.. I started walking around to find people and telling them goodbye.. I think I got most of them, but I never found Zinko or Clary.. ;/ well.. never mind!.. I can say goodbye to you now! ;) And I'll probably meet you on irc or something.. heh.. well.. anyways.. Noone could find Ludde.. He was sleeping somewhere but we had to use 30 mins to find him, and then some minutes for him to pack.. so.. we didn't leave until 10:30 or something like that I guess.. When we got to Aalborg, we still had to wait almost 2 hours for the ferry, so I don't know why we had to leave so early from the partyplace.. well well.. at least we had the time to buy some food.. the burgers tasted like shit though.. I'll never figure out how danish people survive, when all their food taste like shit.. ;/

The weather was real bad, and we had big waves on the sea.. AGAIN!.. but this time I didn't drink much.. had a piña colada.. but that's not much.. But still I felt kinda sick.. then I heard they were selling sea-sick pills.. Yes!.. I bought one, and went to sleep.. mm.. that sure helped.. When I woke up I felt quite nice, although the waves were still there.. I wasn't feeling that bad.. back in Kristiansand, Norway, some people were going to use the train for Bergen.. they just missed it by.. 2 minutes or so.. And had to wait 6 hours or something for the next one.. ;( really sux.. I'm glad I wasn't one of them.. Well.. the rest of us left Kristiansand, and headed back towards Oslo.. In Grimstad we met Snuffy and the other people from the van at a gas-station.. :) That was cool.. and finally.. some norwegian food! mm.. yummie.. ;).. Sixpack opened another beer, and he was drinking 6 beers on the way home I think.. all the others felt too bad, and didn't want anything.. The stopped a couple of times by the road, to let people off, and we came to Oslo at 02:30 on the 30th.. My brother and his gf had been waiting for an hour, so they were a bit upset.. although they got happy when I gave them the smoke I had bought for them from the boat ;).. I came back home around 04:00.. My mom gets up at 05:00 to go to work, so she didn't get much sleep that night.. but anyways.. I think I've never been this tired after a party before! It was, in my eyes, a success.. Although there were too many guards walking around checking out what you were drinking :).. I've had a hell of a great time, at it was real nice meeting everyone!.. I'll be at the next TP for sure! Since it's a blast!.. The last tp got loads of complaints, but I liked that one too, so.. I don't care about it.. :) If I didn't meet you this time, be on the next one.. I can meet you there!
