TLH PARTYREPORT The TLH party 23 - 25 October in Lidkoping, Sweden. I came to this party in the morning of the 24th. At that time it was pretty calm at the party most of the people were at sleep even the organizers. We (Beathoven, Case, Claw, and Archimedes) installed our computers in the same classroom as Notorious, Exceed, Wertical and two members of Nova. After half an hour we got pretty hungry and bought some sandwiches that the organizers were selling. The party was a party for all kind of computers but it was mostly Amiga and Atari present. The organization was OK. You could get Cokes, chocolate, other candy, Beer, Pizzas and other food at nearly 24 hours a day. It was very cheap to get in to the party, just 70 swedish crowns and that's about six pounds. Special events: You could look at movies in a special classroom, they were mostly showing Friday the 13th. There was a guy that were selling some food and he went to the classrooms with everything. A kind of roomservice. I think this was a very good idea. The Competitions were: worst lamerdemo, best demo, best module and best picture. Only Amiga and Atari were allowed to compete in the competions. In worst lamerdemo a demo called Bajs i Badkar (shit in the bathtub) won. In the picture competition there was several guys that competed for example Iridon of Shining with a great fantasy picture, Case of Emotion (just before he joined Equinox) with a picture of a cybergirl, Schizo of Supplex with a greyscale comic character, Red of Omega (a ST graphician) with a picture of a girlface in greyscale. Red of Omega won the competion and he won an optic mouse with a mouse survival kit. In my opinion I don't think Red was worth winning cause Iridon's picture was much more better but I think that the ST owners voted for Red because he's wellknown in the ST scene. In the music competition Unit 17 (a ST group) won with a tune called Jam House. Made with their own 8 channel system. The Demos in the democompetition were: A demo by Daylight. This amiga demo was very bad but it's hard to decide because this demo didn't work properly on the organzisers computer. A BBS intro by Supplex. This was just a small BBS intro with some vector. A dentro by Shining. This dentro contained pixelized vector, dot spheres and some more that I dont remember. It also contained some good gfx and nice music. A small demo by Ice (a ST group) it was just one screen with plasma, logo and scroll. Grotesque by Omega (a ST group). This demo is a very good Techno demo that includes some dancers, logos, vector. The music is Punish your machine by Front 242 that's sampled and remixed. The demo is inspired of Global Trash 2 and some other techno videos. Grotesque won in the demo competion and I think this demo was worth winning. They won a gift voucher with enough money for an Atari Falcon. Groups present at the party: Shining, Emotion, Exceed, Trash 80, Quartz, Nova, Daylight, Notorious, Dead Hackers Society, Supplex, Omega, 2 Smart 4U, Ice, Unit 17, Impulse, The Lazer heads and Wertical. That's all I remember but probably not all that were present. It was about 200 people at the party. I liked this party even if it was small and the productions that was released wasn't that good at least not on amiga. But the organization was ok and party place had room enough for everybody (it was in a school for 1700 pupils). By Beathoven
