Event id #719 : Primary Star 2004

Just woke up after a short night sleep (got home around 6 this morning). Party was okay, not as many 'old schoolers' as last year but nice atmosphere and some pretty decent contributions to the competitions, esp. compared to last year.

The winners, as far as I remember them:
Demo = K2
Gfx = Deev/Onslaught
Music = Hein/Focus, Onslaught

Our (WWE) demo finished 2nd, unfortunately we weren't able to get it linked in time so we had to compete with a not-quite-finished party version. Still I'm quite happy with what was there, nothing too special but some nice design touches and made by the top of the current dutch demo scene, including a part by WVL. Yes, Focus & Xenon cooperating, I guess a few years ago nobody would have believed that this could happen :)

Many thanks to the organizers (Drake, Franky) for letting us compete, and understanding that under no circumstance we would want that version to be spread.

"Don't you, forget about me ..." ;)

4Kb intro : WOW

I compare it to a little brother of X, same atmosphere etc just less people.

I was too busy trying to remember stuff I forgot 10 years ago to watch the 4k compo, hence I didn't know about the entries and who won, sorry :)

that's ok, had enough on my mind overthere aswell to finish that thing right before the deadline (new piccy pixeled overthere by Bud, stumbling on some really stupid bugs etc)

oh well, we're all human i guess so you're forgiven :)

primary star was nice. and hey, thanx for being there guys. especially those from holland coz we all know that the dutch scene is rather small nowadays. yep, too bad some ppl didn't showed up or couldn't make it to join this party but we think it actually was a great party.

hope to see you next year. please don't stop with keeping us feedback and fine ideas.

Livetro from anubis finished 3th place.

And bud finist first with his fast compo entry.

Its a shame that the people didn't stay for the prize giving. You"re missing something.

See you all next time.

With all due respect - competition was finished around 2 o'clock in the night, counting votesheets was done around 3 (results where known just before i left), but according to WVL the prize ceremony still wasn't held around 11.30 the next morning .. that's more than 8 hours later.

So why the long wait? I can't think of one thing that would warrant me having to wait that long before returning home to spend some time with my girlfriend, who I love very much (and who is standing behind me as I type this).

tdj, you are right. i agree with you and can deal with the idea that next time its much better to have the results known much faster and then we should have the end ceremony. something to remember for next year i guess...

Here are my 2€cent about P*:

The Music was of astonishing high Quality! There were 8 Entries and at least 5 Tunes are really GOOD (including a Herbie Hancock Cover).

Concerning "staying until prizegiving":
The main Problem was that the winners were known (at least to some Folks) right after the Counting.
Thats a big NO-NO, because it breaks the Suspense, which should not be done before price-giving.

After reaching home, I took a closer Look at the Prize-Bag, thanks Exile, its a really nice Collection :-)

All in all, it was a very nice Party, and the long traveling was worth it.

Have Fun,
Zed Yago
