Breakpoint 2003 Bingen, 18-21 April 2003 by Browallia This report started around a month before my plans to visit Bingen when I began pixling on my contribution. Even if my mom has told me, that I should double the time for all my plans (which in fact is a true sentence for Nukleus aswell), the picture was finished like 2 hours before I left to a trainstation. Unfortunately, the plans for reserving some waggons for demo- coding freaks didnt work out as it should. Instead, as the only member of Nukleus showing up since Balder left to Himalya for a couple of months I was quite excited during my trip with Deutsche Bahn. After taking the minibus to the hill and paying the entrance of 40 Euros I met Altruist/Tulou and joined a table with some Amiga-folks from Tulou, Traktor, Nature, TBL, Elcrew... Inside, Breakpoint was cold, outside it was like a festival.'The Real Party Is Outside' could be read on some posters and together with the fire burning outside I could just agree. I handed over my graphix contribution but didnt have a clue about that I should deliver some prestadiums aswell. Consequently my picture wasnt shown, and even when I talked to gizmo/farbrausch who administrated the contributions, and he would include it for next show on sunday. Nope, he didnt, too much to do, was his excuse. thx pal! Im not going to list every event from the schedule, since this can be read somewhere else. Instead talking about some impressions. All kind of competitions at Breakpoint were influenced of the chilly weather. Nicknames like Cold Point, Freeze point etc or in the fastintro compo or the fast graphics compo with ice-theme. Such a compo as the fast graphics is a realtime proof about what you can create in Photoshop in some hours and with some manipulating tools.. ..that these sceners then call themselfs graphicians! At the Breakpoint for Amiga, it was quite rarely with party-releases. As far as I remember, it was only groups like the music group mOOdS giving their promo-CD and my friend Zito who worked hard with party- edition of Jurassic Pack #12. Three entries in the Democompetion was'nt that very much aswell. And the introcompo was cancelled since Tulou as only group, working hard with their prod. 'Khold'. Im quite sure that the Uprough-kids would re- lease something aswell, if Booger wasnt in Asia.. Well, I guess that was the end of this report. Another Breakpoint report from me can be read in the magazine Azine #4.
