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

When I realized that there's a jury on X, I simply decided not to participate on the compos any more and that was it, the problem was solved from my point of view. The X2004 results were indeed a bit fishy, but you once you agreed to play with the (clear) rules, well, it's not too gentleman-like to complain afterward. Just my two cents. |

Me too, if only so it would cause Oswald to bitch again for the next 4 years. |

The last party I attended was the Light + Phenomena Easter Party 1992. We didn't sleep for three days and it was great fun, but we're getting older you know, at least some of us. I don't know how you live and how you sleep, but I'm at the lucky position to have a nice bed at home and yes I'll come with my own car to the party. I thought we all do this for fun, or did I miss the point here? |

@The Git:
Well, it was meant more in a constructive way.
Something did go wrong at the beginning with my tune, which to me didn't sound like a playerbug. atleast it's nothing that I have been able to replicate. :-)
I still think the mc-ing was unnecessary, people were still enjoying the act. Afterall the X parties are the best c64 parties I have ever attended, so don't worry, I will still have a really good time there, I'm sure ;-)
I do imagine that it can be difficult to set up a perfect sound-system when sid tunes are played loud. So many different composers, styles, sid chips, etc.
Do slap my ass if you still think I am being a silly about this. The party itself, all in all is a winner. And another thing that most other parties don't happen to manage is to gather such a large amount of cool old+new c64 scene people.
Looking forward to it!
:-)
