irvin: That “someone” was an unbelievably drunk kusma (who, after having done that, and being told Jekyll and Hyde were really pissed at him, went back to the kitchen for more beer and then back to the Andromeda guys). The pictures are IIRC not related to that incident, though.

favourite moments at Solskogen:
* when Dwarf kicked the ball RIGHT into my groin from a distance of 5 yards :)
* music compos!
* the moment when Response told me there was a fridge in the SIDbox
* moving the tents so the guys could come back and mow the lawn :O)
* the moment when the organizers told me I'd accidentally paid twice via paypal, so I could have foodage Friday night, as well as a t-shirt
* the moment when I ran down the aisle with the flag like a cape, and DIDN't destroy 8 people's computers on the way .. ahem. Not quite thinking straight there, sorry - just glad I didn't ruin anything :)
* returning to Frederikshavn on the ferry, where we all (minus drivers) got semi-pissed in the rather cheap bar :)

generally a fucking awesome party, I can't wait to go again :O)

Dalezy & Lug00ber: Tormod != Trond :)

@Korvkiosken: Oh. I could have swore he introduced himself as Trond before the show.

Oh, yeah about balls touching, thank you Sesse.

Personal favourite moments:

* Chatting with Steff/Sorrox for the first time in 12 years
* The new (and spot-on) Darklite poster :)
* Seeing the danish posters everywhere after coming back from a shopping trip
* Farfar with the danish cape - so many degrees of awesome
* The look on Hyde's face when Kusma, for the Nth time went "A Cornell Box?!?!", and then, the look on Anderssons face when Kusma went "A friggin' Cornell Box?!?!?!", and lastly, hours later, the look on Jekyll's face when Kusma went "What's wrong with you people?!? Cornell Box?!? Seriously?! Why not DUCK.3DS?!?!" .. and then, seeing Kusma being slapped silly with a belt. :D
* When the guy who had cycled from Oslo to the partyplace was dead drunk, wondering around and was told by Slummy to go to sleep, responding: "Sleep?! I can't SLEEP - are you mad? Think of the hangover I will have when I wake up?! Nah, better to stay awake, I have to cycle back to Oslo tomorrow you know!"
* The fact that the party went unbelievably smooth, and that everyone seemed to enjoy themselves a lot. Best feeling in the world.

some of my personal favs:

- seeing lug00ber drive from the showers back to the partyplace (it is 60 meters approx)
- beating the danes in the football compo
- darklite / danes
- sidbox
- jamming with kaktusen (moonwalk kåre)
- arcane and leia (as always)..(DAS IST KLAUS)
- the music compo
- much much more, even better solskogen then last year

thank you gloom for giving us space and electricity for our pornmobile. much appreciated, and hope you welcome us back next year.

also, i have no idea who this was.. and does anyone else remember this?? ..during the andromeda mad and drunken fit, it was raining silly outside. some dude took a REALLY BAD nosedive from the top of the stairs and onto the ground.. seriously.. face first into the concrete. i thought he would go into an imediate coma, but he just got up and was fine. it was not my favorite moment ofcourse - but it sobered me up quite a bit. anyone else saw this one?

xerxes: I still owe you money for beer! Will need to fix in the near future.

Favourites
* Darklite sidbox + darklite themselves
* Farfars earmuffs on componight (the volume was insanely high, why?)
* I got a shirt this year \o/ (although i ordered a small, i was only able to get a large or womens small)
* Darklite sidbox
* Farfar on componight, never have I seen such a cheerful and popular person at a party (and why/how the hell did you miss out on a great big hangover?)
* Have i mentioned the sidbox?
* The Magic Man bucket
* The joy of sleeping in a tent when i experienced the rumored volume standards of Lug00ber
* The constant Norwegian demand for more horrific Cinamon/Chili vodka

The not so favourite, yes, there was some.
* No demoshow, this was fucking awesome last year, demoshows at danish parties are crap compared to yours.
* No announcing of anything, we dont need an opening ceremony, just a friendly thanks for coming and enjoy yourselfs.
* Tshirts not the right size, seems pretty straight forward
* Windows7 compomachine, wtf
* Musicvolume so loud you couldn't stay inside, overkill ftw
* Driving home sunday and therefore unable to be pissed with everyone else, nor getting pissed on the ferry as well.

All in all, a great great party, but that kinda was because of all the other participants. The party seemed very unorganized and messy and not very well planned. But it was still a blast.

Oh i forgot the biggest favourite:
* Even though danes are wankers and a pain in the ass when drunk, you all seem to like what we do and how we behave, thank you for that ;)

Dwarf: We had two compo machines, but the Win7 one had the best hardware and therefore we tried (a bit too long) to get that running. :) Also, the t-shirt snafu was regrettable, but the fault of the printers. We offered most people to have the correct size t-shirt sent to them after the party. If this wasn't offered to you I apologize.

gloom, i also paid for a t-shirt - but never got one. how do we solve this? can i just get one for free next year? :)

\o/ :)



Was that the red, homebrewed stuff you brought with you? That was fucking _awesome_ :D.



True! More demoshows next year :).



Can't say that I agree with you there, but one's perception of stuff like that is always relative. You didn't attend Alternative Party 2008, did you ;D? Personally I felt it went pretty smoothly. With the exception of the tent-moving snafu ;) (not really the orgas fault). And a few more info announcements with schedule information etc would've been nice too (especially for those outside) :).

It is a recording of Academy Of St. Martin In-the-fields & Iona Brown playing "The Four Seasons" by Vivaldi played from "Spring" through "Summer" (I don't think we got to "Autumn" before the graphics competitions was over.

@dwarf: believe the rumours. About the volume, I get both shit and praise for that. But all musicians who had contributions was happy with both volume and sound in general, so I'm happy as well. Not playing loud during the competitions with music is doing the same to musicians as running the projector in lamp saving mode during gfx compos ;)

I do however apologize (slightly) for getting drunk after the compos, and cranking up the PA system at around 4:30 in the morning. In my defense, I didn't really have time to start partying until then, because Gargaj and me had been constantly busy trying to make the compos run more or less on time and without fucking up contributions for anyone.

Also, the demoshows missing is also partially my fault, because we didn't get a working soundcard on the compo machine until right before the compos started. I'd like to blame gloom (for not installing drivers before giving us the compo machine), but I guess I'll have to share at least some of it.

Greats:

* Smooooth compos by gargaj and lug00ber. Thanx!
* The thursday!! it was extremely chill and cozy!
* Next Life !!! jay!!
* A music compo that did not sucks!!! :D
* Generally high quality in all compos!
* Sleeping in a tent to insure quality sleep
* Darklite, Speedfisters (with elfan =D ) and the danes.
* Turboooo
* Arcane

Not so greats:

* Violent Andromedas

What Prot said plus

* Moonwalk Kåre (thats my name now)
* VOLUME
* Old and new friends
* Atmosphere

korvkiosken (wtf is with that name? hehe) --- just bring an extra sixpack for kindergarden.. fair? :)

I believe that might have been morten/mortzERR of nazareth. Don't worry, he did not remember anything of it the next day..

I would btw like to thank darklite for bringing the sidbox and arcane for bringing his lunch box :)

lug00ber: another thumbs up for your sound control! i thought kindergarten was a bit much, this was ace.

xrs: fair enough, you might even get some % interest!

and korvkiosken is my Censor-handle; similar to my friends Plankan & Brallan!

Greats:
- Excellent food both FRIDAY and Saturday.
- Chilling inside/outside the Brainstormobil
- Top Men, Gargaj & Lug00ber bringing order back in the compos.
- Hyde complimenting on my drunken pouet posts (And I that just managed to slow down with that kind behavior :D)
- Captain Denmark
- (Almost) not having a hangover at all. (knock knock)
- Lug00ber saving the poor guy getting choked by crazy oldskool sceners ;)

Ungreats:
- No demoshow
- Too few announcements making me miss a couple of things(this might be my own fault really :)
- Andromeda choking a semigly random scener and acting rather intimidating saturday night.
(ok, I admit it, I might move it up to the Greats when thinking back on it later. But at the time it didnt look good, it could have evolved to bad things we dont need at demoparties.)

This is exactly how I felt too - never hope to experience stuff like this at any demoparty again.

ohhh yeah, that was the one ;)

great prods!

puryx: damn right.
