Demoscene sub-event at Northcon
category: parties [glöplog]
From what I gather in irc conversations and this thread, there seems to be a genuine interest in having this subparty .. that's cool :)
For this party to actually happen we require a reliable team, about 8-10 volunteers who would like to organize with us before, during and after the event (we got a few people already, just so you know) You'll enjoy the usual benefits such as free entry, free food and a more or less quiet place to sleep and possibly even travel support but that's not confirmed yet. If interested please contact me until 10th September: demoscene [AT] sunspire-records [DOT] com or join us in #nordlicht on IRCNet and speak to either me or wysiwtf / arvenius.
Once we got the team together we can move on to discuss party features, ticket pricing and advertise the event on the website and the www. Maybe someone would like to create an invitation for us as well, would be awesome!
Let's do this! :D

I'd love to help out but I'm not sure if I can really be of much help with a lot of things.
Alright, now that I'm back from the UK I can get this thing back on the map:
Quite a few of you have addressed their interest, both in organizing and also attending the event as visitors, but so far only iks has confirmed that he wants to be part of the team. We need at least 8 more organizers to make this event possible.
If you'd like to help us please get in touch with me ASAP! I'll be more than happy to answer any questions you may have, join us in #nordlicht on IRCnet.
Hurry! :D

Wahey, the following creative individuals have gathered so far:
Arvenius, iks, RbR, Skomp, SunSpire, susique and PrincessKnoeki !
That might just be enough to pull off this massive undertaking but we would like about 3 more people in our team to ensure things will be running as smooth as possible.
So, anyone else interested?

LULI is going to be there. As every year. With mulled wine and the photonenbanner. Northcon is always great fun.
LULI should be in the scene area then this time :)
GNUMPF-posse will also be there - so we surely can give a helping hand in boozing and maybe some minor technical tasks (like fetching booze)... really looking forward to meet some scene-mates at northcon! ... and remember: real party is outside!
oh sh*t.
i guess backing out is not an option anymore then =)

I found a tournament worth participating on their page: Flunkyball!
It's a kind of beer drinking competition.
Maybe Sceners participating az the "sub-event" should send a team. ;)

There will also be a cos play contest, if someone is interested. Other cool stuff to be announced soon.

damn, you revealed the secret surprise compo
anyway: BOOZE!
Yeah, what T$ said, boozing will be allowed in the hall. It's not Assembly after all :)
If you get too drunk and puke inside we might kick you out though ;)

I really hope that the party gets support - so far it looks promising!
However - it's getting tight with announcing properly and getting people attending :)
were working on it and the danes are part of our plannings!
i'll try to show up :D
There also will be some light ticket for the northcon.
translates to: 10 euro for all 4 days without PC/table. So even if you don't find the time to attend the whole event: this kind of party ticket may be the one for you.

I think combining demoscene stuff with cosplay f.ex. sounds like a good way to broaden interest in demoscene activities. Let's hope it all turns out well.
