LIGHT and PHENOMENA Easter Party 92 Yes! I'm yet again back to give you a little party report from the party named above. I've to say that we called one of the arrangers up just a couple of days before this event should take place and he said that they suppose atleast 1000 people showing up and that this party would beat everything including the very nice ANARCHY-CRYSTAL-SILENTS party last christmas. Now we know the truth.... B U L L S H I T ! OK, We left Varnamo at aprox. 13:00 and we entered the party at 15:30. We payed the entrance of 150 sek (That's far too much for this crap) and looked around the party place for a while. I think there were about 700 people there and most of them were completely unknown lamer groups (You know those small kids playing and copying games all the time...), althrough I met some friends in Fairlight and Silents. Ohhh. I forgot to tell you where the party was located. It was held in a icehockey-hall in a town named Alingsas, about 4 miles northeast of Gothenburg, Sweden. Anyway, we decided to go downtown of this very lame town to get some food. We got back to the party and after a while and we met Zcandaler (very kewl seeing you again)! On the evening we decided to drink something. We drank some beers and went all over the party and tried to talk with different lamers. I met some kewl germans who also were into TECHNO AND RAVE this night and we decided to play some music in one other hall, and so we did. Techno is sure the best music around!!! The other people in this hall wasn't that into Techno... Later this night I went sleeping for some hours. The next day, Saturday, we decided to visit LISEBERG (One of swedens kewlest amusementcenters). As the weather was totally fucked up (it was raining cats and dogs !), we was just into the arcadehall and played for some time. I have to tell you that LISEBERG is located in Gothenburg city and I had big problems to drive in that city, anyway thanks to Zcandaler and Robocop we got there atlast. We got back to the party and it was as boring as it could be. No action. The arrangers showed some demos and computermovies on the screen. They claimed that they had got a 1200 watt HiFi there, but they seemed not to used it well, as they played on low volume all the time! I might say that this party consisted of lots of Commodore 64 groups aswell and that maked the party ever more boring... On the saturday night we did nothing special, as the 'nightlife' of Alingsas was nothing to speak loud about!!! Well, one funny thing happend that night. The arrangers showed an old Fairlight C64 demo and whole Fairlight got up and maked noise. Now lots of other people began to say 'buh!', and so the arrangers took notice and they made a fast picture on an Amiga. On the picture they had printed 'FAIRLIGHT IS LAME' and they began to show it in small frequences while the C64 demo was still running. Now Strider/FLT got really angry and ran to the arrangers place and looked for the computer where the picture was placed (He seemed not to have found it), so he and a couple of FLT members was guarding the arrangers place for some time. That looked funny! Hey FAIRLIGHT! Are you so childish that you can't even take a funny joke like that, LAME... On Sunday morning we got the information that the competitions should take place on the evening of Sunday. We couldn't stand it! You know, we were so fucked up about this very lame party so we decided to go home. And so we did at 11:30. This is the first party I left before the competitions started. At 14:00 we were at Zune's place and we decided to do some modemtrading so we should get some warez.... And atlast overall impression of this party: The party was not that good organized, as the party had NO ACTION at all. It was a 100% BUSINESS party to get as much money as possible. That's real shitty of you arrangers! They also lied in the invitation, They claimed that there should be Arcade and pinball machines there. Bull crap! They didn`t seem to have a alltime modemline either. Because that should be a little bill, and the aim was to earn as much money as possible, am I right? As you all know, I'm VERY unpleased and disapointed by this shitty party and I can't figure out why Phenomena want to destroy their name by this shit! Rocket/Aurora
