TLH PARTY

partyreport

Written by Lex / NOVA

I heard that TLH was  going to organize
a party in Lidkoping in Sweden.  Let me
tell  you that Lidkoping lies about 150
kilometers northeast of Gothenburg, and
It's  quite  strange to go there if you
don't have  a  car.   Anyway, the party
seemed to be very good organized, since
there was room for atleast 500 persons,
the  price in the demo-competition were
a  Atari  Falcon  (!!!),  there  were a
powerfull   hi-fi-equipment,   lots  of
showers,  there  were pizza-places open
until  02:00  and  a cinema showing the
once  new "Patriots".  Once I got there
there  seemed  to  be no enterance-fee,
because   there   were   noone  at  the
enterance    that    checked   if   any
un-invited person come.  I walked right
in  and  met the guys in our group, and
they told me that if you have not payed
for  the  enterance;  you'll  be thrown
out.  Hmm...   tough.  Since there were
no  person  to  pay, I finally searched
for  the  one  to pay the  entrance-fee
(You  may  think that I was a  chicken,
but  I  did not wanted to be thrown out
by    a    almost    2    meters   tall
body-builder).   I  finally met the guy
to  pay,  and I got a piece of paper to
write  my  handle  and  an  unimportant
number.     Not    really    a    smart
system....eh?   I  was  surprised  when
them  told me that only 200 persons had
been shown up.  A well oraganized party
like this should have been bigger.  The
main  reason  was  probably  that  they
never  released  any  party-invitation,
only  an  ASCII  file  on  some  BBS's.
Another  reason  may be that there were
30%  Atari  guys,  yep! You're right It
really    smelled    awfull....     The
party-organizers  lost  about 3000 SEK.
To  accomplish  the  big  loss of money
they  lowered  the prices A LOT....  In
the  middle of the night they organized
a  rave  called  "Rave  for the Pizza",
they   had   really   nice   light  and
visual-effects,   to   bad  that  noone
raved.  Finally the competition started
and  everyone  gathered  in  a big hall
with  a  about 4 × 3 metres screen.  It
really sucked that Amiga-guys and Atari
music    contributed    in   the   same
music-competition.   In  the demo-comp.
Supplex  contributed with an BBS-intro,
and  Shining  with  an 2 month old demo
entitled  "Soo  booring".   However, it
was a real shame that Atari won, but it
was a hell of a techno-tune.



The results:

Demo-comp.: OMEGA (Atari)

Gfx-comp.:Iridon/SHINING
