Brokepoint - Breakpoint 2009 is in danger and needs YOUR support

category: general [glöplog]
Hmmm, the money-o-meter haven't changed since the 5th of February - and Scamp has been spotted in (las) Vegas with a serious gambling problem and what was once a lot of money... Anyone getting worried? ;-)

The fact that the party tent is secured might have something to do with it

what Joghurt said. I guess that nobody feels motivated enough to spend money to be given away in competition prizes, if all party features are already covered. Nevertheless, I'd be willing to support bp, I'm just waiting for a reply to my email

Whatever happened to renting a shitty sports hall at some school? We gotta have parties of Roskilde magnitude now?
curt_cool, the money-o-meter was bumped up by 1k a few days ago, they just seem to have forgotten to update the "Last updated" note :)

I'd guess that was much easier when the majority of the demoscene still attended school.

fwiw, breakpoint takes place in what is actually a 'shitty sports hall'. ;)
who cares if it belongs to a school?

And the winner is... fairlight. You don't need to know the nominees


Don't forget that there'll be always one or two surprises, although some of the winners are obvious.

I want to be in the nordic conspiracy too, but I'm probably too lame and can't think of a clever handle.

so, can that banner on the FP be removed? or do we still have to reminded that a mere 40+k isnt enough to have a proper party and that it's high time to donate?

Click on "hide". Does the job for me...at least per session! ;)

that might actually be worth the buck

Anyone getting Ryanair flights to Breakpoint, take care. Well that's good advice anyway, when flying with Ryanair, but specifically in this case: they've pushed the return flight to Stansted (UK) back by about five hours, meaning passengers who need to get elsewhere in the UK (like me) are fucking absolutely screwed, since their connecting flights are earlier in the evening.

Since Ryanair's T&Cs (presumably) repeat the words 'we don't give a fuck' in 6pt Arial over ten pages, my options are probably to spend five times the money (which I don't have) or stay at home for Breakpoint.

And since Ryanair depressingly permeate the European airways, I bet there are other people flying into Hahn from different countries with them. So double check your flight times and make sure Ryanair aren't going to rape you too.
