C64 parties/events

I'm probably going to head to BFP2007 (since it's not too far from where I live) to premiere show my new DTV demo, and also check out the compos.
Then I started wondering a bit about the atmosphere at current C64 events.
I'm a bit worried that things have changed much since I last was at a C64-related event (Light-Phenomena 1992). Then it was (at least for me) all about meeting and talking to people about your weird interest (no internet back then, so just meeting other scene people was a big thing!), watching demos and commenting on "how did X do routine Y" and other wonderfully geeky things.
Since guess at todays events it is pretty much the same people that always turn up, I could imagine that it's more like old friends who already know each other meeting and getting drunk and not so much about C64/computers/coding/other nerd stuff.
So will someone who hasn't been "in the loop" for long be a total outcast?
Well, I guess I'll find out in a week or so.. :P

Just to echo everyone else here - go! My first demo party was LCP2004, and my second was BFP2006. The atmosphere was very welcoming, even for a non-swedish speaking demoparty virgin such as myself. (I can say hello, good bye, and thank you...)

If I was visiting Europe from Australia this year, I'd be there this weekend myself, but alas I have neither the leave nor the airfare this time around. ( *crys* )

Scout's pretty close to the mark about being able to pick and mix your party experience - the only bit I'd be sceptical about is getting much in the way of quality sleep. But that's what the day^H^H^Hweek after the party is for!
