@T,1,fff,ddf,A @1@4 Anarchy Party @6@2R e p o r t @T,0,aad,ccf,0 @2@5 Date : @4@14 April 1992 @5@2Place : @4@1Royston Civic Centre Barnsley England @T,0,aca,cdc,0 Well I suppose I will start at the beginning of the day which would have been about @2nine o'clock@1 on the saturday morning. I was the first to arrive so I got the pick of the positons. The @2civic centre@1 wasn't as impressive as it sounds and it was alot smaller as well. By about @2ten o'clock@1 the place was starting to fill up and even at this early stage there seemed to be a @2lack of power points@1, and even though I'd been there an hour I still hadn't got any @2new releases@1. The first bad point of the day reared its ugly head by about eleven o'clock, yes!! The hall was full and @2late comers@1 had to set up in a @2local school@1 about three @2hundred metres@1 from the @2main hall@1. This did get a bit tedious a little later in the day with all the walking that had to be done, just to get some @2new software@1 and to go and meet all my @2contacts@1 (which is what a party is all about). @2Demos@1 and loads of @2music disks@1 started to appear on lots of different monitors, the fun had begun. @2XCopy@1 was also on alot of screens as people busily copied all these steaming @2hot new releases@1. @2Pizza time@1 at about @2three o'clock@1, but the food never appeared till after @2five@1, which was annoying (because myself and alot of other people were a might peckish) but understandable (being a chef myself I appreciate all the hard work the pizza parlour must have put in). Oh well disk after disk after disk was slammed in and out of my disk drive relentless @2'boing'@1 from XCopy. It was all getting a little tedious so I left it to another group member to do. @2Eight o'clock@1 soon came around and it was time for the @2alternative competition@1. @2Nine victims@1 were selected from the crowd to take part in a competition that could only compare to @2'endurance'@1 (remember the program that used to be on clive james from japan real sick!!) the victims were first told to @2drink@1 a pint of @2cold baked beans@1 as quick as possible. After this round was the grand finale, @2six extra strong mints@1 and a pint of @2ice cold water@1, the mints had to be sucked for at least one and a half minutes (real painfull on your old throat). Then came the competition results... @T,0,caa,dcc,0 @3@5 Demo Competition ----------------@2@4 @21. Anarchy: @1Krest Mass Leftovers @22. Digital: @1Trash @23. Anarchy: @1Legalise It @3@5Music Competition -----------------@2@4 1. @1Gamma - Dual Crew @3@5Graphics competition --------------------@2@4 1. @1Fast Eddie - Anthrox @T,0,aca,cdc,1 @2Seventeen Bit software@1 had been invited by Anarchy to judge the demo competition and into the bargain got @2exclusive rights@1 over all demos entered and it was they who put up the @2150 pound @1 first prize which was greatfully received by @2Critical Mass of Anarchy@1. @2Krest of Anarchy@1 judged @2Fast Eddie of Anthrox@1 to have entered the best piece of pixelling on the day but he (Fast Eddie) was a bit annoyed at not getting any prize money because someone thieving little cretin was supposed to have @2stolen a printer@1 and the money I think was used to replace that piece of hardware even though I heard a rumour (and that is all it is I hope) that Anarchy made a @2substancial profit@1, so if it is true why wasn't that money used? @2Gamma of Dual Crew@1 was judged to have composed the best piece of music on the day by @2Nuke of Anarchy@1. After all the prizes were given out the party seemed to be just about over as alot of people started to leave including me, so I don`t really know what went on after that probably not alot I just haven`t got a clue. @T,0,aad,ccf,0 So on reflection the people at the party made the party what it was, with one little theif as the exception, and alot of @2quality@1 was released that shows the @2U.K. scene@1 can keep up with the @2top european groups@1 which can only be good for all of us. But for the fact that for part of the day it was held in @2two seperate buildings@1 and the cock up with @2prize money@1 the party was a success, but I would just like to add one thing to whoever is thinking of organizing the next @2U.K. party@1... ... get a @2personnal address@1 system it will make life easier for yourselves and also for every on eat the party (so we can all here what is being said to us). @3@8Fabio/Ghost@1
