Party report 1 from Mamba #12
here's the long awaited ces-report,
exclusive written for mamba by richie
of illusion.
'the queues were longer and obviously
there were more people. this was de-
finately better than last year,
although 1988 was the best i ever
attended. anyway the following dudes
were the ones i met this year:
excell,fletch,doc and just ice/ikari,
bod and xxx/talent,icecube,jade,rebel
dmc,tricket,karate kid and animal/dom
solar,wim and some other dudes/f4cg,
ninja/groupless,goblin and antichrist
of gp,rap x/class(3030/ex-htl),sauron
garfield,rebel mc and myself/illusion
weetebix and trans x/oracle, even
steve of zenith who quit over a year
ago mad the the effort to come.
there were no fights as promised.
nobody saw any of the legend-members,
although they were certain that they
would come,but maybe they were !!!
poor dogfriend had his ticket and
hotel ready, but he had trouble in
denmark and wasn't allowed to leave
the country (ed. maybe because he did
not pay the phone-bill ?!!)
there was a rumour going around that
omg/amok was at the show, then, an
hour later everyone was saying that
omg wasn't there, but antichrist was,
so take your pick !! goblin/gp was
stealing everything in sight - god
knows how he stole midnight
resistance by ocean, it was locked up
in a glass-cabinet. i guess that
friday night was a bad night for
goblin - he was reported to have been
arrested for carrying an illegal
substance (hash) by the london cops!
you should have come around my part
goblin, it's safier !
anyway, the show included stars like
betty boo and two teenage mutant
ninja turtles live on stage !
that stand also had a large video-
screen with music, but i can't
remember which company held that
stand !!
a few people saw harry/711, who is
now totally legal and was with his
company. at 5.00 pm - the end, excell
doc, sauron, rebel mc, steve and
myself were the only ones to go down
to the pub afterwards, although ninja
and the three f4cg-dudes were
supposed to come, we waited for them
as they were setting up a deal to
sell their game, but we had to go
(sorry dudes!) and steve and myself
could only stay for one drink
(because i had to see my girlfriend),
though i was told the others had a
great time afterwards !
all in all, the show was better than
the previous year, although there
wasn't any release over the three-day
period (except for gp's midnight
resistance!) and not one group was
spreading discs like it used to be
still the people who attended gave
the c64 a live that it deserves ! '
