Quote: Tim, thanks for seeing my nag as 'evaluation' and thats really just what i mean to do.

CBA, saying "do it better yourself or shut up" - take a course in receiving critics Niels :D

Yes, i do want to orga a party, located in Denmark.
We dont have one for many many years, and we should, with the historic legacy that dk scene has... really

I guess i just have to throw aboard all my concerns about north of dk people not coming, and south too.

Why dont more swedes go to holland, and why are there no south people in swedish parties, so my concern is, will people travel as long for dk as they are willing to for X ?

So its better to just forget these "oh no, will they come ?", and move it up to realizing level, and just give it a try.

More on this in spring 2011..

You can take a lot of courses about other things ;)

Just skip X parties and go to professional ones in the future Jan, they probably suite you better.

An awesome party organised by a brilliant crew!

The new place is all in all much better than the one it has been held the past events. This for several reasons:

+ It can hold more people and thus more c64 nrrds can show up.
+ The house with the sleeping facilities is separated from the barn where the party is held, making grumpy geezers being able to get their beauty sleep.
+ The Someren place encourages outdoorsy activities. Together with the physical training that comes with über dancing, X might even be an event that is beneficial for the health of the common scener. Making sceners live longer will prolong the life of the c64 scene.
+ The main hall has more of a data party vibe.

However, obviously, some baby diseases are to expect:

- The downstairs area was !FAB! for the gigs (6581 rocks!), however it was less well suited for holding a looong compo. During compos people sit down and for this reason, and a few others, the main hall would be much better. I understand the problem of then having to have two separate sound systems, but if I had to choose I would rather the gigs had to compromise than the democompo.
- Lack of coffee error.
- When a R.I.P. Jerry of Triad picture appears on the big screen prior to the compos, a silent minute is expected, not "MEK SZOME NOISE YA'LL!!".

Together with the Nordic, Aussie and American pre-partying in Amsterdam this has been a helluva week. Now my liver needs some rest.

It deserves to be repeated: Fabulous effort and hard work by the organisers. I am thankful.

It was a brilliant party. A big big big thanks to the orga team. I had lots of fun and haven't been drunken like then for some time. Meeting the old folks again, some after more than 17 years was great too. To be honest, we still look as great as we did back in the early 90s. ;)

About the organization I do not want to complain at all. There are always things to improve anywhere, mistakes get done. But in the end most of it got solved. I hope that some of the dutch organizers think about their plan not to organize another x and let happen the next one latest in 2012.

But up to then I think there is a fucking big gap which has to be filled. I only hope that my expectations I could have on those parties won't be too high now. But in the end you can't comnpare apples with pears.

X-2010 was great!
If I'd really have to nag it would be about... err... well...

There were enough beds, although during the first night I slept in a different bed than the second night. For the better, as Booker kept half the barn awake with his "sound track". Can't say the beds were a point of complaint.

The compos in the basement were long, and if it hadn't had a floor, I would have had to stand up... instead, I sat down on the floor. Standing on the other hand wasn't that bad, as I had been on my ass for the entire day already... nope, can't say I'd have to complain about it.

And standing in line for the food gave me the opportunity to talk to sceners I'd otherwise not have spoken. And the fresh air was welcome to. Nope, no complaints either.
Food was fine too, even the crappy shit-on-a-stick ;-)

Let's see, what's more...?
Oh, right, the shortage of coffee.
I don't drink coffee.

Ah, wait... the picnic bench gave me a sore ass.
Next time I'll bring a little pillow (or arrive earlier and get a spot with a proper chair).

Give it UP, y'all!

Quote: The party rocked! Pulling off something like that on a new venue was extremely well done, period. Never you mind the naysayers. Hugs to CBA, Tim and the rest of the friendly staff who never got too busy for a chat and a joke. And to quote the speaker: give it UP, y'all!

Quite arrogant statement Niels..

Awesome party. Much respects to the organizators for all the effort and heart put into making this a success :) You just secured yourselves some Polish regulars for the upcoming editions! ;) Of course there were minor glitches here and there, but who cares when the overall experience is so amazing. Thumbs up!

Hah, blame the Booze Design guys for all that. Only since EoD people are used to a flawless presentation in every aspect and now they start complaining about "tiny bugs here and there", unnecessary flickering of screens due to unstable electricity rasters or something. But honestly, next time please get some proper Latte Macchiato for breakfast. I'm used to that for chrisssakes, I can't change habits so easily at my age anymore!!!11

Freaking _killer_ party.

Jan: I have an opener. Living in Finland, you learn after about 3 minutes of being on .fi soil that you need an opener AT ALL TIMES (: Find me if you can't find one. (Goes for anyone, but you know. (: )

Out of coffee error: next time I pack enough heavily caffeine laden tea. Then we just need hot water. (This works better than instant coffee, which, ugh what a horrible thought I think I'll think about good tea now...)

OK, at least one person who attended is saying they aren't going to go to ANY Dutch parties anymore because the attendees (NOT the organizers) wouldn't stop smoking even when asked repeatedly to stop.
Um, seriously, wtf, we're all supposed to enjoy this, and just like if one of your friends drinks too much you take care of 'em, you take care of the people who are nearby who can't breathe. I mean, move away or summat, or wait to smoke til you get thru with the compos, or shout for a bathroom break so we can do important personal things like beer or smoke or stuff. (I could seriously have used one, I went the entire demo compo without a beer cuz I wasn't gonna miss a damn minute of the compo in case something was THAT awesome. I normally solve this by just getting a case and handing 'em out to people around me during the compo, but I sort of wasn't able to do that AND bring a chair.) Seriously. Don't f*ck someone else's party over being a dick about stuff, people will see that you're a dick and no one needs that crap bringing them down during a party.

Now, we'll get thru the idea that it was just a one time thing, and that next time it's not gonna be an issue cuz you know, we'll be sure that it doesn't if they just hang with a larger group who doesn't smoke anyway during the compos, but still. Some people hate smoking and in an enclosed space it sucks, and we don't need a freaking rule or any of that crap to "enforce" it. Just be cool to everyone LIKE WE FREAKING ALWAYS DO.

You know, the whole "Be excellent to each other" stuff which always happens and is why even when shit goes all wrong, demoparties still kick ass. Because of people and just having everyone's back.

Oh, and, yeah, I can't stand up anymore after sitting on the floor for more than 10 minutes. And standing for long periods makes my feet go "will you sit the EFF down soon sheesh." I'm b0rk3d that way (shut up I'm only 6 mentally shut UP I am not old I'm b0rked.) So yeah, chairs for the compos gets my vote.

Anyway. Cripes what a freaking excellent party.
