Heres some general Info about the Event:
For the 2nd Time the group Oxyron (known from C64, Amiga and on PC under the FAN Label) is able to announce a Party in Flensburg/ Northern Germany
close to the Danish border.
Our first Party was held at the end of February 2007 - and was a good success for a first Party. 75 ppl attended the event that time. The real potential of it was 90 ppl but there was very bad weather conditions in denmark - so some ppl from skandinavia didnt show up.
Because of that we thought we could make a regularly event out of it which always takes place at the end of february (not to collide with the ultimate meeting or the breakpoint partys.)
For our 2nd Party we wanna improve alot of things - like having high quality Live Music on Stage, better technical equipment - and some other improvements (we also enlarged the team of organizing ppl alot.)
This Party is a Multi-Platform Party... that means everyone who is interested in the Demoscene is welcome - no matter if he uses Vintage systems or any kind of modern hardware.
Ppl who think this is a LAN-Party for playing games all the time are not welcome :-) They should better look for another Event. This Party is meant as a place for all those creative ppl out there who want to party and work together. We will provide all the usual Competitions
If someone wants to take a break from work on his productions - and play a game - that definately is no problem. We just want to make sure that this event doesnt become a gamers-party.
The facts:
- The Party will be held in Flensburg/ Northern Germany (close to the Danish Border) 22.02.2008 - 24.02.2008 ... The Adress is:
Kurt-Tucholsky-Schule
Richard-Wagner-Str. 41

Heres a Link to a Route-Planner: map24.com - or just use the Route-Planner of your Choice - You can check out some Photos of our Location here
- The Partyplace is very easy to reach from the German motorway A7
- This Party is Multi-Platform (C-64, PC, Amiga, Atari, Plus4... whatever)
- Theres space and power supply for approx. 200 ppl with Hardware
- Parking space definately is no problem. Theres space up to 100 Cars or more close to the Building.
- Shops and Snack-Bars are close to the Party-Place (some hundred meters far away). Also two Burger-King restaurants are not too far away.
- The Info-Desk will be open 24Hrs / Day. There we are going to offer free Coffee or Tea and some Drinks / Food for low prices.
- We will have professional technical equipment for all the competitions and Live-Acts on Stage.. (PA, Light FX, Beamer, Big Screen)
- The Entrance fee will be 25.00 EUR (no other currencys). All the money will be used to make this party as good as possible. We dont try to get rich with it :D All Organizers work unsalaried and in their spare time to make this party a success.
- Female attendants pay the full entrance fee this year. Time is over when just a very few females were visiting a party with their scener-boyfriends. Since Girls profit the same way from everything we are going to offer at our party its just fair they have to pay the full price we think. The breakpoint Party started it this year - and we think they are right on that point. Letting in females for free is oldfashioned and obsolete. And we dont want to let them feel like 2nd Class Sceners anyways.
- There will be all the usual Competitions and eventually some Fun-Competitions.
- Smoking inside the Hall is prohibited (its a public building with active smoke detectors - so dont break this rule plz. - we dont need firefighters to disturb the party.) - Smoking is allowed outside the Hall. see the Rules...
- We are going to have a separate sleeping-room like last year.
- Last party we couldnt officially announce the possibility of taking a shower (well - we could make it possible atleast...) This time we try to have fixed times for ppl who want to take a shower. the times will be announced at the party.
- This year we again won't be able do provide Internet-Connection :-( too bad, but nothing we can do about it. We will have fun anyways.
...to be continued...
