IV :: COMPOS
---------------------------------------------
what compos will we have there...
at first, some compos just like any normal party:
- pixel graphics :: logo (should say: PHAT, but... maybe something else will do too ;) :: ascii (should say PHAT again..) :: chipmusic :: digital music (no MPEG3, tracked music - be it MOD, DBM, XM, IT, ST or BMX) :: 1kb intro :: demo :: wild demo
any else compos we will have entries for.
what machines we will have there:
sinclair zx spectrum 48 :: atari 2600 :: atari 130xe :: commodore 64 + 1541 :: zs scorpion 256 :: alice :: amiga 1200 + 030/50 + 8 megs :: apple ][ :: snes :: nes :: sega megadrive
uff, thats basically it, we will mostly have several of machines listed, in various configurations plus ofcourse some PCs, older and newer. if you have some contribution ready, please contact us and tell what configuration machine you will need.
please note that you can also take part in these compos even if you are not present at the party. splitting into more categories (like seperate c64 and speccy chipmusic etc) will be decided discussing with contributors and depending on the number of entries (we already have quite some sent in).
special pr0n-demo-compo - C64 VS SPECTRUM!
deadline: 22nd september, or lets see for those present at party.
then, we planned a lot of nice entertainment, but we won't manage to hold everything we wanted to, like car race is postponed till next party due to financial troubles. for sure we will have some open-air games (like, there are some teams, each got a map(s) with checkpoints where they get 5.25" disk, who collect all the disks first, upload ware to BBS and win). also, our magnificient Vinyx promised to take care of cannabis milk drinking compo, so hopefully this one will take part as well.
planned is also photo compo, both realtime (at the party) and one where you just bring your photos to take part.
also these are possible: scene quiz, micro-movie-script-writing+shooting compo. guessing the melody, graffiti spraying (bring your cans!) etc.

more to come...
VI :: MERCHANDISE, PRIZES & MONEY ISSUES
---------------------------------------------
as the party is free party, it rocks of course but that also means we got very limited budget - or rather to say not at all.
that leads to some problems, in this case we are still trying to get cheaper place... at least we got almost all the technical gear needed for free (like technics sl1200 + mixer, speakers and amplifier and perhaps projector too).
we will see what we will be able to manage once again - and there will be donations-box at the party, so you will be able to donate as much as you can and wish.
prizes - no big bucks definitely, but of course diploma and we will try to design some cups too.
finally, t-shirts will be available, so if you wish to have one, let us know (cause we need to know how many of these should be made). the price could be somewhere around $10, maximum $15 but more likely not more than $10 (depends on number as well).
and, stickers, i hope.
