BIG FLOPPY PEOPLE 2007 -
Datazombies From Hell!
------------------------------
WHAT?: Triad, Judas, Hack&Trade & Laxity
invite you, weirdo with old computer, to
the second BFP Party in Helltown!
WHY?: Because we like to gather sweaty
datanerds, sleep on cold concrete
floors, gaze at big pixels and fill our
ears with lots of squelchy analogue sid-
sounds, because.. well, we dont need to
tell you this. You know the shit. We set
it up, but YOU make it happen.
WHEN?: Friday July 27 - Sunday July 29
WHERE?: Helsingborgs Mjölkcentral,
Mejerigatan 0 (yes, zero), Helsingborg.
The old milkfactory proved to be a good
venue for databoys, so we've booked it
again. Before BFP2006 we asked
ourselves, "is this place too rough?"
but within less than a cpu cycle we
remembered that our guests are simply
the toughest of data people and will get
to grips with any situation, and so you
did. Since the raw year of 2006 the
rooms have now been partly rebuilt and
shaped up into something which rather
looks like a underground nightclub or a
small concert venue. New luxury features
are two toilets directly connected to
the data room and a superb air vent
system to take away the most horrifying
farts.
HOW TO FIND?: Check map [here] or [here]
If you arrive by train-ferry-bus-plane-
wheelchair you will most certainly end
up at the Helsingborg Central Station
"KnutPunkten". From there we recommend a
taxi up to the Milkfactory (10 minutes
for about 100 SEK) or CityBus #3 (going
towards Västergård), jumping off at the
busstop called "Mejerigatan".
COMPOS: In classic LCP/Floppy fashion MC
Frasse vs S.A.M and super demo DJ's
Taper & Vinzi take you trough the compos
in a wunderbar mix of kaos und ordnung.
Last time three diskdrives gave up on us
during the show. The compos are as
follows: c64 Demo/Music/Graphics, Amiga,
Atari, Gameboy, Spectrum, basically any
vintage format you can come up with. We
totally refuse to take compo entries
from people not present at the party.
The most divine form of compo
participation karma can only be achieved
by physical presence in the monkey
audience, so you better be there! (This
year we'll make sure to get hold of a
better bigscreen projector than the
funky one used at BFP2006.)
FOOD & DRINK: Like last year, we will
have a BFP Foodmap ready so you can go
food hunting in the surrounding area
yourself. Within a 1km distance you will
find a supermarket, burgergrill,
Pizzerias, 24h Mcdonalds, 24h
Petrolstations, and more. And if you are
awake saturday morning you will be
served a simple free breakfast.
ENTRANCE FEE: Only 100 SEK. (~10euro)
RULES: Smoking is outdoors.
COMFORT FACTOR?: Big Floppy People does
not pretend to be a healthy event. In
fact, concrete floors and no showers
will surely transform you into a woked
zombie within 48h. Chances are high that
you will eat unhealthy food, drink
unhealthy beverages, sleep in the most
unlikely places and maybe wake up with a
floppydisk glued to your forehead not
knowing where the hell you are, but, and
this is the real butt, YOU have chosen
to live the data wildlife, and so have
we. Peas on earth.
