Event id #3294 : X-2024
I was having a discussion with a few guys over beers in X'2023 and the compos. I was telling about my days as OR8 pilot in the RC world where we had junior, hobby and pro categories for the races.
To make it abit more motivational the people/groups who aren't 20 members strong each with 30+ years of demo coding experience it might be worth while considering other options ?
eg. some of the ideas we discussed:
. Having a pro (ie previous winner category) and hobby section so that contributors are compared to peers of similar experience
. Splitting the voting/ranking for 1 filers from multi disk entries
. Newcomer award for those individuals or teams who never submitted to X before |

Was it my imagination, or did the snake oil salesman say his 35 euro (that are 6 euro including postage from Ali express) hoodies are Official Commodore Merch ? |

He went on later to to the home compute museum and was offloading them there too. I wanted to tell the fella buying that he can get 5 for the same price in 8 days direct from China :P |

I also want to chime in with highest praise for the organizers of the bestestestest demo party in the world [... as I know it :-)]! Thank you very, very much.
RL has been really hard and stressful for me this year so far and it was so great to have that little "oasis" of beautiful people. As usual: I hope I didn't stand to much in the way – didn't get on too many nerves with my, well kind of "outgoing" / "maniac" attitude :-)
I'm not sure why I found myself wrestling with MacX that one evening – I felt it was because we both may like some kind of "rough fun" from time to time – and I hope he also sees it that way.
Anyway: I find it so sad, that the "X every year" experiment was a "failure" from the organizers perspective. I'd really love to meet you all every year. But I do unterstand that not everyone has X "around the corner" like I have and tbh. if I had to pay the same amount or more for getting there like for the entry I also wouldn't have been able to make it this year.
Thank you to all you lovely people, for your kind words. It was a blast talking to everyone I talked to.
As I already wrote in the slide at the music compo:
Love, Peace and Krawall :-) |

I know macx pretty well, I'm sure it was the highlight of the party for him :)

For me it was simply too much work during the last year and I definitely need a break from organizing.
At the same time, I really loved this X and that's because everybody, with you as a prime example, brought better than good vibes :) The atmosphere felt totally awesome the entire weekend. I also want to party with all of you on a regular basis :)
We are going to evaluate everything properly amongst the orgas. Next X will be 2026, but let's see what we do after that :) |
