Well I suppose I will start at the
beginning of the day which would have
been about @2nine o'clock@1 on the
saturday morning. I was the first to
arrive so I got the pick of the
positons.
The @2civic centre@1 wasn't as impressive
as it sounds and it was alot smaller
as well. By about @2ten o'clock@1 the
place was starting to fill up and even
at this early stage there seemed to be
a @2lack of power points@1, and even
though I'd been there an hour I still
hadn't got any @2new releases@1.
The first bad point of the day reared
its ugly head by about eleven o'clock,
yes!! The hall was full and @2late
comers@1 had to set up in a @2local school@1
about three @2hundred metres@1 from the
@2main hall@1. This did get a bit tedious
a little later in the day with all the
walking that had to be done, just to
get some @2new software@1 and to go and
meet all my @2contacts@1 (which is what a
party is all about).
@2Demos@1 and loads of @2music disks@1 started
to appear on lots of different
monitors, the fun had begun. @2XCopy@1
was also on alot of screens as people
busily copied all these steaming @2hot
new releases@1.
@2Pizza time@1 at about @2three o'clock@1, but
the food never appeared till after
@2five@1, which was annoying (because
myself and alot of other people were a
might peckish) but understandable
(being a chef myself I appreciate all
the hard work the pizza parlour must
have put in). Oh well disk after disk
after disk was slammed in and out of
my disk drive relentless @2'boing'@1 from
XCopy. It was all getting a little
tedious so I left it to another group
member to do.
@2Eight o'clock@1 soon came around and it
was time for the @2alternative
competition@1. @2Nine victims@1 were
selected from the crowd to take part
in a competition that could only
compare to @2'endurance'@1 (remember the
program that used to be on clive james
from japan real sick!!) the victims
were first told to @2drink@1 a pint of
@2cold baked beans@1 as quick as
possible.
After this round was the grand finale,
@2six extra strong mints@1 and a pint of
@2ice cold water@1, the mints had to be
sucked for at least one and a half
minutes (real painfull on your old
throat). Then came the competition
results...

@3@5Music Competition
-----------------@2@4
1. @1Gamma - Dual Crew
@3@5Graphics competition
--------------------@2@4
1. @1Fast Eddie - Anthrox
@T,0,aca,cdc,1
@2Seventeen Bit software@1 had been
invited by Anarchy to judge the demo
competition and into the bargain got
@2exclusive rights@1 over all demos
entered and it was they who put up the
@2150 pound @1 first prize which was
greatfully received by @2Critical Mass
of Anarchy@1.
@2Krest of Anarchy@1 judged @2Fast Eddie of
Anthrox@1 to have entered the best piece
of pixelling on the day but he (Fast
Eddie) was a bit annoyed at not
getting any prize money because
someone thieving little cretin was
supposed to have @2stolen a printer@1 and
the money I think was used to replace
that piece of hardware even though I
heard a rumour (and that is all it is
I hope) that Anarchy made a
@2substancial profit@1, so if it is true
why wasn't that money used?
@2Gamma of Dual Crew@1 was judged to have
composed the best piece of music on
the day by @2Nuke of Anarchy@1. After all
the prizes were given out the party
seemed to be just about over as alot
of people started to leave including
me, so I don`t really know what went
on after that probably not alot I just
haven`t got a clue.
@T,0,aad,ccf,0
So on reflection the people at the
party made the party what it was, with
one little theif as the exception, and
alot of @2quality@1 was released that
shows the @2U.K. scene@1 can keep up with
the @2top european groups@1 which can only
be good for all of us. But for the
fact that for part of the day it was
held in @2two seperate buildings@1 and the
cock up with @2prize money@1 the party was
a success, but I would just like to
add one thing to whoever is thinking
of organizing the next @2U.K. party@1...
... get a @2personnal address@1 system it
will make life easier for yourselves
and also for every on eat the party
(so we can all here what is being said
to us).
