Equinox-Analog-Swans-Party - page 1/2
Author: Arrakis/Brainwave
First,  I  have  to  mention  that this
party  was held in France at the end of
July in COLMAR.  The place was the same
as  two  years ago  when the cops shook
the  whole  French  scene  (Ackerlight,
etc.   By  the  way, all rumours saying
that Ackerlight would come back ARE NOT
TRUE!).   Well,  the  entrance-fee  was
quite  high  for  what  they  called  a
party.   When  we arrived, only 10 guys
were  already  there and just 4 Amigas!
I was optimistic that more freaks would
show up later.  But time passed and all
in Brain Wave were very bored.  Nothing
but  really  nothing  to do!  Of course
there  were  some  cool guys like Iris,
Hysteria,  LOC(?),  Alcatraz (Trying to
sell  their coding!), Equinox etc.  But
the  organizers  were  everything  else
than   cool.   Only  Coburn/Analog  was
comprehensive  and admitted  that  this
party  was  sucking  lame.   The  other
organizers   were,  like  cops,  always
looking  what  you  were doing.  Wether
you  were  smoking, using illegal stuff
etc.  This was called a legal party!  I
think  there  was  no party at all.  At
the end, some guys were unhappy because
there  were  no  competitions.   So the
organizers  were  forced  to make some.
But  how  lame  it  was!   Of course NO
PRIZES!  And the demos were really lame
(That  lame  that   you'll  never   see
them!).  A  Kick-Off  compo  also  took
place.   I  was  forced to play for the
first time of my life, because they did
not  have  enough  players!  I even won
the  first  match!  But at 5.00 a.m.  I
was  fucking bored and decided to drive
home  because  the  next  day  I had to
visit  some  girls...   It  is really a
pity that this party was not a success,
because  it was well located:  Near the
Swiss and German border...I think a lot
more guys should have shown up, I don't
know why they didn't.  (ED:  We thought
about   going  to  the  party,  but  we
expected that it would  be very lame so
we stayed at home..) I want to say that
I got a letter  from Analog complaining
about  the  so  called bad behaviour of
Van  Gogh/Brainwave.   Because  he  let
trash  on  the floor and shouted in the
room.   Well, guys, if you ever visit a
real   COOL   party   like  in  Germany
(Energy-Hypnotnic-Awesome    party   in
Karlsruhe),   everything   is   utterly
different,  the organizers are laughing
and  drinking with you.  And not crying
because  there is a paper on the floor!
This  may  explain  why french  parties
have no  success. (ED:  Party means fun
and not boredom!)
