Event id #1577 : DATASTORM 2010
UP ROUGH SOUNDSYSTEM, GENESIS PROJECT and DIVINE STYLERS invites you to DATASTORM 2010!
The demo party for oldskool platforms. Only.
PREFACE
Sweden has since 1998 been blessed with the world's greatest summer party, Little Computer People, delivering
hot data action for the oldskool crowd year after year. While we are grateful to the Hack'n'Trade posse for
having us boozing, computing, and socializing each year, we curse them for the hardcore one year data-abstinence
they inflict upon us inbetween each party...
Since we obviously can't get rid of the addiction, we have now decided to accept it and even take it to the next
level by doubling the dose! The winter-time withdrawal syndromes has finally come to an end for all you oldskool
fanatics: The absolute swedish elite has gathered to bring you the best fucking fix of Amiga/C64/Console axxion ever!
THE DEAL
Up Rough Soundsystem, Genesis Project & Divine Stylers hereby invite you to DATASTORM 2010! The ultimate winter party for people operating on machines with SOUL. It's going down on the the 5:th of February 2010 and keeps going until the 7:th of February 2010! Can you dig it?
Partylocation is the city of Gothenburg at the swedish westcoast - the stronghold of the swedish amigascene.
The city is easy to reach through two international airports, ferry and train.
The entrance fee is set to 200 SEK (~20E), with dinner included on Saturday and breakfast included on
Saturday and Sunday. Only swedish currency accepted.
PARTYPLACE
You know that when we do stuff, we do it right, and this time we have put in extra effort to make that dreary
weekend in February something special. The party will be hosted at a night club in an industrial complex, close to
the centre of Gothenburg, providing that special mix of roughness and cozyness that we all love. In addition to the tables on which to put your real hardware on, although we allow laptops for cross-dev purposes, we have lounge areas with cozy sofas and arm chairs where you can comfortably sit around and talk about that new
cruncherroutine you've been working on for the last decade or whatever...
FEATURES
Having the party at a nightclub is something special. The greatest difference from other small parties is that
DATASTORM will feature a proper bar with service-minded personnel that works as long as people are awake and will
serve thirsty party freax with an endless supply of beer, wine, and softdrinks. But a party is not just about
drinking right? We also hired some cooks that will deliver vegetarian and non-vegeterarian breakfast, dinner,
and supper on announced times. When the special meals are not served, barfood like pizza, hummousrolls, falafel
and kebab can be ordered as long as the bar is open. Everything to a price that even the scener on a budget
can afford! Ofcourse you can also buy snacks, candy and tobacco at all times. And the coffee is free, so you don't
fall asleep before your releases are finished in time for the competition!
Here is a list with all features of the party, more stuff might be added in the future so stay tuned!
* Bar open almost 24h with full assortment of cheap beer/wine/softdrinks.
* 2 Breakfasts and 1 Dinner included in entrance fee, vegeterian alternatives available.
* A variety of cheap barfood is available anytime.
* Snacks and tobacco available 24h.
* Superchill environment with cozy furniture.
* 6 clean toilets. No queues! Never pee your pants! Freedom!
* Powerful nightclub soundsystem!
* Cocktail data - we strive to get the perfect mix of socializing and computing!
SPECIAL GUESTS
* The grandfather of moduleswappers returns! Slash / Citron. is back! He will bring his customized
hippodecks to deliver the finest zak ever written in protracker. Bring your boathorns and your guns!
This is one show you don't wanna miss! Pull up selecta! Move Rudebwoy Move!
* More stuff is coming.. Stay tuned!
BATTLES
The mighty competition is being held at Saturday evening with the winners being presented after midnight..
For detailed info about the compos, head over to http://www.datastorm.se
Stay tuned for the announcement of compo-prizes!
The atmosphere when all competitors are present during the compo is unbeatable.
Therefore we do not allow remote entries which means that atleast one of the authors of an entry must be present
at the party. However, we do allow (and even encourage!) snail mail entries in the Packdisk Open contest,
see below for further details.

The response is fucking massive so far. The Amiga response is way over my expectations, we could do with some more C64 boys though, so if you are thinking of going, don't hesitate, do sign up. The slots are being filled by the minute.
Frantic, we are happy to assist in bringing you a much needed vacation! ;)

-@-yonx-Its a real shame that you have to be present in order to enter the party compos, is this a trend with partys these days, coz if it is, then it limits the content of the party. Why cant these partys be open to all possible contributors??(and entrys) Whats wrong with getting a disk in the mail or an email of a file as an entry to the party.....????(theres still time 2 change this)
Good Luck with the party anyway I hope you get good numbers |

@tomz: while it might limit the total content we still feel that the quality of the party (for the attending crowd) is raised when all people contributing to the compos are attending the actual party, in terms of pre-compo gossip/mingle, the actual compo feeling and of course the prize ceremony.. so we will stick to that rule :)
too bad you can't make it to the party though :/ |

And if there's any trend to compo entries, it's that we get too damn many these days... LCP 2009 compo took what, six hours? |

Yup! Indeed. Remote entries are so not needed to fill a compo.
As a suggestion orga to orga you may wanna run the music compo during boozing prime time on the saturday. People will dance and generally have a good time and it take ages to finish.
Gfx compos are always very swift and could be run just before the demo compo if u like.

i think all music entries should be pressed on vinyl on friday evening and handed over to mister deejay for megablast party on saturday. if anyone can do it, it's up rough!
or maybe you could change the rules - only vinyl entries are accepted. this makes so much sense!!

Yeah, we staggered the deadlines to make it possible to start the gfx & music compos early:

i forgot to say that we have an extra rule applying only for goto80:s compotunes. they have to be submitted as 3-voice sheets to be reinterpreted by the gothenburg ukulele-trio in the compos
