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

Tell him to rap during the demo compo. Maybe we'll score some points if people think that it's digi samples! |

While we're at it, don't forget to bring a box of that minibottle liquor which tastes like throat medicine! Yummie! :D |

Quote: 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!
God....
There was no 'rapper' bloke, the guy was just cheering and mc'ing, playing the crowd so to say. I for one liked it as it added a party-like atmosphere to the performance. iirc, JT liked it too btw.
No offence but everyone has heard those tunes thousands of times before so if any added flavor is ruining it for you I think that's a very narrow minded un-partylike attitude. Or should we ask people not to cheer either so you can enjoy the SID sound in its purest form? ;)
Also I have to mention that NO effects were added to your SID. Actually I do remember you asking for more high-end because the sound system was a bit too basy as it was a true disco PA system. But claiming an effect was added and something went wrong with your tune is bull.
Anyway... your tune won the 1st place if i recall correctly so why the whining about the sound? Each sound system will sound different. Cope with it. One can only try to approach a desired sound but the characteristics of a speaker will always shine through.
I am bringing another brand of speakers this year btw so if you want your stuff to sound the way you want come to me and we'll do a proper 'SID' soundcheck. |

Jeff, no effects means you won't win this year. ;)
I think the soundsystem is always a bit troublesome at parties, compared to the pure and delicate configuration I have at home, ahem. Then again, each of us has a different taste, I myself don't like oompf beats that beat the crap out of the well crafted details.
Guess we just have to cope with it, make a boombastic tune and win for glory (and complain there are no chicks sucking the winner's dick backstage).

just in case you need some powerful pa, i can bring some 15kw of sound with me, or even some line array if needed.. ;)
but actually i prefer decent sound to LOUD sound, so i hope for the best.
as for the beds i hope just to arrive early enough. :) |
