X2008: no bed?
What basically has happened here is that the organisers have overbooked the event.
1. The website promises for 70 euros we get a bed, shower and food.
2. The website urges to register early, to be sure of a bed and not be denied entrance at the door.
Now, I get an email today in which these clear rules were changed during the game. (you don't do that)
Now, my registration does not count any longer, and beds are distributed on first come basis.
I seriously do not like that.
You must have rented the farm (+beds) for costs, that are include in the fee. We expect to have a bed for that money.
It is not our fault you overbooked the event. Perhaps you should have switched to a larger site while you still could, or, if you could not, closed the registration and find a larger site for next time.
Yes, I may be picky, but I just wanted to have this said. ;) Nothing wrong with sound arguments, even though it's not the end of the world. :P

Sleeping on the floor works sometimes, other times it's a real pain (i.e. waking up every 20 minutes, having to shift position - an endless bore). An air mattress is a pretty nice solution. Oh, and ear plugs, preferably a soft model unless you enjoy sore ear canals. |

Sleep? - The trick is to keep driking. Don't over do it, just slow drink, and drink yourself sober. Thats what I did during X96.
I was up all day, drinking Heineken (although it might have been different beer at X). Up all night drinking beer, although I did attempt to close my eye's, I failed. Then the next day it was Heineken for breakfast. After the compo's were over in the afternoon, we traveled by train to Rotterdam. Things became blurry then. Some proper food was obtained, then it was onto the next bar, and then a small bar was found that stayed open all night (they sold chips also). We were drinking until 6 in the morning (Nazz won a ton of cash from a fruitmachine that funded the drinking). Must have crashed out about 7 after breakfast. 48 hours non stop :D

I'm not worried about the beds. But I do find it important that there are enough chairs+tables in the party hall. As far as I am concerned, I guess there will max be around 50 persons more at x2008, than there was at x2006, so I think the partyhall is big enough for that.
A few things I also hope for are:
(1) No crap rapper during the JT performance! (that rapper bloke kinda ruined it last time)
(2)Effects of any kind should NOT be added to the c64 sound output, something went wrong with my tune at x2006, I remember. The SID is powerfull enough itself, nothing needs to be added to the output. :-)
I am really looking forward to X2008. See you there! |

Beds, chairs, tables, food, toilet paper, whatever. All those could run out and only the sissy ones will complain. But try leaving a bunch of oldschool nerds without beer just before the demo compo and a riot will start (happened at Function a week ago and believe me, we were not too happy about it).
Seriously, I'm not an alcoholic, but I'd really like to know if there would be enough beers till the end of party, as nothing could beat the feeling of having a lager in your hand while watching C64 demos on the big screen with your friends.
So just to be sure: probably not enough beds, but how about the beer? In the slightest case of doubt, I'll bring some of my own. |

Jailbird, so far nobody managed to drink all the beer
at any of the X parties held at the farm. (X-98, X00, X01, X04, X06)
So give it your best shot !

What are you talking about? How can it be crappy to rap "Yo yo yo! Check it out yo, it's funky fresh" all over JT's tunes?!? ;)
