wouldnt it have been wiser to open one topic for all the adresses you want to know ? |

My question was:
Does anybody have the original addresses of the two Venlo places???
-> One topic for two addresses, or not??? |

that's a very hard question..
last recollection I have on Venlo was of Sex'n'Crime #1..
so I looked it up and damn.. my memory still works..
it only contained the adres as mentioned above (at memory $57e0 - $58c0 and not even 100% correct.. hehe)
That issue was released in feb. 1989 so you will need to find someone online that has been around longer then that.. good luck, since I was supprised the addy of the (!) venlo meetings was actually even made public to non sceners even in 1989 in Sex'n'Crime :)

I've been often to that first location in Venlo before
they moved to the Blerick part of the town (87 until 89)
But hell, I don't recall the adress, can't also remember
if it was listed in a magazine or not.

It was a technical school, shouldn't be too many of those in Venlo. |

Yeah! I remember that it was a school and on the other side of the road there was a factory of some sort. If my memory serves me well. ;-) I was there Dec '89. |

*grin* come on you old farts..
if i'm old enough to remember being a 13 year old kid and finding the new venlo addy reading sex'n'crime issue#1.. then one of you older guys must remember the previous addy?
Ehm.. did I emphasize on you guys being old?
(i knew at one point I would enjoy being younger.. hehe)

Afaik the Host of the meeting was named "Stichting Huiscomputers" which means something like "Foundation 4 Homecomputers". Sorry, my Dutch sucks at all ;-) |

It's them indeed. You can still find them at the PC Beneluxdagen throughout Holland. |

The Courbois Brothers (with their strange high voices, and their mom always with them) weren't the original organizers, they took over, maybe even *after* the move to Blerick.
Man, I hated these guys: "in 5 minutes we wil turn off the power", only to do it right away. |

hehe.. oh shit I almost forgot about that TDJ :) man that indeed was annoying as hell sometimes..
not a bad career move.. from ugly basic games, to organizing venlo meetings, to selling crappy z-quality porno on pc fares :)

We from Excess did videos on most Venlo-
Meetings. We visited the meetings
at De Staay nearly every month from
January 92 to May 94.
The videos from that video from you,Rene,
is also from our old VHS Tapes. |

It's a bit strange that I am not 100% certain, but I think that Lead, Chesoner and me viewed on the back are standing at 1:11 in the video. Not sure who the guy is on the right. :) |

I'm pretty sure that before De Staay in Blerick it was in a school called LTS De Hagerlei in Venlo. Were there more copy party places? |

I did quite a lot of copying of new releases there as well, and meeting other sceners/group mates. So to me as well it was a mini-copyparty. |

The guy at 00:58 where the camera zooms in is for sure Airwolf and the guy beneath with this "Heavy Metal Sticker Jacket" could be Jack Alien also seen on 01:43. But I'm not 100% sure. |

I attended some of the Blerick events but, looking at the place at Google's Street View, I don't recognize anything. Are those new buildings, built after the early 90s? Does zaal de staay still exist? |
