Madbart/Appendix
SATELLiTE'98 PARTY RAPORT by the organizer!
* First words *
We planned Satellite'98 party long time ago. At last we decide for the
party date - 7-8november bcoz we don't like to make stupied discussion
about the date with the other party organizers (io, grv). You asking why ?
Look up for the summer holidays! - there were THREE (!!!) party events
(quast, intel outside, gravity) ! One of them was something like WEEK
after other party !!! That's the way why we decide for this date about one
month before TP'98.
I don't want to describe all party-work before party but the point is that
all stuff was organised in about 2 months. When I got back from my
holidays I started in the party stuff.
Main Satellite party main organizers are : me - Madbart, Enter, Adamsoft,
Pike help from all Appendix mates and my girl friend. But main idea and
whole stuff was made by us - four mates. I think that's the best idea in
party making. I tell you one fact. I was on "some" party. First edition
was organized in small group. Party was really nice. Second edition was
in my opinion really crap. And... There was many various organizers not
only people from the group. (if you're interested about party name mail me
;) Too many organizers are bad. Nobody know what they exactly must to do.
Important is that those mates must be really good friends who know what
exactly do, with ideas etc. Those two months of work are really hard.
Btw: In that moment - some months after party i'm ending commercial
animation for the company who lend out video projector. ;) For me party
work is not ended. ;)))
* Some days before party *
So few days before party we were trying close all sponsors list and I was
talking with RMF FM radio - Satellite'98 main media patron. There were
recorded "official" invitation (for the masses) with some my words about
scene and parties. That's all were in played in the radio some days before
Satellite. That was really crazy. ;) Btw: We gave them ten free idents
for the Rmf fm radio station listeners.
* 6th november - one day before zero point! *
5th november I early go to bed for long sleep, I planed wake up something
about 12-13 but.... early morning screaming to my modem Enter wake me up.
(he was trying to connect with my TheSect! board ;) He told me many words
but i don't understand him - coz i was really sleepy... Night was hard for
all main organizers - no body can't asleep !!! All night I was thinking
about party. dammnnn.. Anyway.. After his call about 1 or 2 hours later
Pike call me. He doesn't scream coz he phone my personal phone. Fuck. I
was necessery at the party place - carpets for the party was too heavy for
Enter and Adamsoft. :(( For me party stared at 10am at 5th nov. After all
tired organizers back to houses. When I back Juma/Apx was at my place - he
was ending party bulletin in Scala. He was very angry bcoz his hard drive
doesn't like Adamsoft's harddrive. When i pluged them together with my hdd
and cdroms, on the Juma's hdd and Adamsoft's hdd rdb was crapped. Sukz...
Party is on, TWO disks are fakked out. About 17pm we leave my home I went
to the train station for the Carson/Apx, Rappid/Apx, Cerber/Apx . After
all they went to the party place I return my home. About 22pm i went to
the party place. There were many persons who helped us in hard works. We
install all and we welcome first visitors!!! Party was started.
* 7th november - party is on *
After hard night, when we were installed all stuff in party hall from early
morning we were attacked by sceners. :) Good, party was really on. From
the beginning demos were played on the very big screen (7M diagonal !!!)
and many crazy compos were organized. All sceners were parting! After all
about 16pm first real compo were organized - it was music compo. After
little break was organized next compos like c64 msx compo - which was
really big shock for all !!! In my opinion that was better than Amiga, Pc
modules !!! C64 rocks !!! After all we played Venture's video called
"Ognista Bejbe by V-Block". That really rocks! All sceners were really
enjoyed, singing and dancing. (i think nobody outside poland watched this
cool video - too bad :( Next point was 64k and 4k intro compo for Amiga, Pc
and 8bits - quite good productions. After those compos we made little
break. We were installed Voice's/Appendix and R.T.'s/Venture music
equipment for live acts ! First was INDYGO - Voice/Appendix and his friend
Ksiu. They played over 40mins of really GREAT their own music - LiVE !!!
When they were playing on the big screen was played a video clip made some
hours before party - there were mixed lot's of funny scenes like party
installing (6th nov), some camera movements into the Szczecin's city etc.
That's roxx - coz it was really fast production. I think that live act
were really good surprise. I'm very enjoyed. Btw: Appendix records were
born! We'll try to made Voice's/Apx CD soon. If you're interested in
INDYGO (Voice's) music - you can leech their live act! It was digitaly
recorded - now it's an 44mb long mp3 file. This live act rules but CD i
hope will be better - much experimental. :) After Voice/Apx and Ksiu,
Wierza and R.T. of Venture entered into a stage. Yep - Second Live Act!
They really rocks! I don't know how to describe it but they really rocks!
Wierza jazzed R.T.'s techno. Those live acts were really good point of the
party. After live act they performed live "Ognista Bejbe", second time all
sceners were singing and dancing with them !!! Really i don't know how to
describe all spontaneus sceners - you should watch it !!! (Satellite video
report soon - I hope!) After this R.T. countinue live music with his
incedible minimal music. All live acts rulez ! I promise - they will be
in the next year on the next Satellite party! Next point was the gfx and
trace compo. After those compos and the break time was for the main point
of the party - demo compo. Then was funny crazy demo compo and video demo.
If you're interested in the quality - watch them all. I don't want to
coment any productions. I really enjoy a couple of intros like Venus
Art's, Floppy's, Network^Ozone's, Phase Truce's and Venus Art's and
Venture's demo - you must watch this production and think about the
contents of it.
* end words *
I think that's was a successful event. This was a first party organized by
Appendix. I asked many persons and they are very enjoyed too. We were
tryed to make a party like old time ago partys with lots of fun, crazy
compos with scene feeling. That's it ! I want to invite you for the next
Satellite party edition. !
