Interview
Oooh.... right now it's around 2 'o clock in the morning I guess, and I got nothing else to do than writing another damned article. Why damned? Because I'm fucking tired, but my Walkman with Fu-Schnickens keeps me awake.

In the room are still about 70-100 people celebrating the nice night, the other 100 were sleeping. (Nice?)... Oki, about the party. It's much better than I expected. The event is well-organized and it's nice to be here. We arrived on Saturday the 10th of july at around 2 o'clock pm.

The party was held in Hellenthal, close to the belgium frontier. When we arrived there were about 150 or 200 people at the party-place, and the first thing we did was to search for Blitter and J.Walker. We didn't find them because we didn't know how they look like and also because they were out to eat something (what we of course didn't know).

A contact told me that some guys from Damian sat at one table and he showed me the way. There we waited for them but nobody came. So we switched on the computer and watched some demos.

Maybe half an hour later two guys appeared. Guess who they were! Yes, our members. After some time of talking we looked around at the party and the people who were there. I met some contacts and Friendly also found a friend of him.

Whole of the day we started to get cool new stuff, but that didn't seem to be easy, coz as far as I realized there was no real cool stuff. A nice music-pack by WOTW of Essence and some bad-quality stuff which is not worth to mention.

I didn't see the Competition-stuff, but an Arise-guy told me that only 4 demos were given to the Competition, 7 intros, about 8 GFX and 20 muzaks. Ok, this didn't seem to become a big release-success-party, but who cares.

By far the worst thing on the party was the Tekkno-crap being played from different Stereo-systems.

The party itself is cool. It's well-organized, with a screen everybody in the room can see (it's not huge, it's only high enough). They have a graffiti-wall, a TV-Channel with live-interviews, films, demos, etc., which is also funny. A Pizza-restaurant is not far away and here seem to be enough tables and chairs for everybody.

As on every party you can see people working on something, playing some games and all of this stuff. Since about 3 hours I'm forced to listen to a SuperNintendo-Sound, which blows out of the speakers of some Console-Copy-Guys.

There's nothing more that I could say about this party. Nothing special of course. All in all it was a nice party and though we were a bit tired, we had much fun.
