gasp party in perpignan for me ! \o/
Too many to list, most of them.
Asm'92: Organizers, DDT and Pehu at least came to the sleeping area and started to drag sleeping people around the hall. Not me though. :)
Asm'92: Making Ksylitol - Sarjamurhaaja trackdemo with Guru, Ukulele and Mike. Module playroutine was interrupted by trackloader, so the start was delayed and it played loooong notes. Dunno if anyone still has this great product...
Asm'93: Accidentally went through a door so that the door came off the hinges. Oops. I was very big back then. Also taking "sexy" pictures with Yolk & co.
Stream 2007: Seeing how 216 was rolling back and forth on the parking place asphalt. And laughing for at least 15 minutes... hmm... :-D

BP 2008 : presenting Shad 3 at one of the best demo compo I ve seen.
Flashback '12: Being the new guy to the demoscene. I did some OpenGL stuff before, but never in a demo context. And winning the 64k compo. Navigating the city was interesting too. Everyone was nice and friendly, which was so welcoming. The whole party atmosphere was interesting too, never experienced anything like that in my life. I just felt so comfortable talking about "nerd stuff" with people, which is so refreshing. This would start my love of the demoscene.
Syntax '12: Seeing friendly faces again the second time, and meeting new ones, and the nice venue was awesome too, had this nice underground feel. Didn't expect to win again.
Flashback '13: Visiting the city yet again. The party had a new venue which was interesting. Train ride was cool, played Mario Kart via Wifi vs Aday on the train iirc, or fb2012, cant remember which year. Winning again the intro category was just a bonus. Coming second place in the demo compo by one point shocked me too, that and by weird coincidence all the power in the venue went out when my demo loaded up was quite odd, and with all the calls of my demo causing a short somewhere (lol)....The retro museum with all the nice old skool hardware was awesome, seeing all the Amigas and C64's, and Atari systems....
Syntax 2013: Nice to see the gang again, and meet new people, party was wicked. Seeing TTT's intro really was awesome.
Flashback 14': Was nice to see the same venue as last year, now getting used to demoparties and travelling. Actually slept at the venue, which was a experience. Seeing the 4k/64k compo was gobsmacking to me, never seen such talent and from such new demopeople, like Drift/Cydonia and Squeakyneb. It really was humbling to me that people liked my prod at all, considering that the competition was so intense and great. I remember worrying like mad at the desk that my prod didn't work, only to find it was a configuration issue on the demomachine end, lol.
Syntax '14: Have to wait and see, going to the party via train and then via tram would be cool. Never been on a tram before...

seeing maali fell off the boat was fun
Big moments were ofcoz:
- Entering the partyhall of my first big foreign demoparty (Light/Phenomena 92)
- Watching Crystal Dream 2 on the bigscreen at TCC 93
Also the party-drives were really cool back then. I remember some rides to the swedish parties with big convoy´s of 5-7 cars and then 15-20 sceners invade the ferry to sweden. That was pretty cool!
There was also one REALLY bad party drive. Now we all can laugh about it, but it was totally annoying back then. The Oxyron-Posse was driving to a Bocholt-party in November or December 91. When we arrived, or atleast thought we arrived, we had no fucking clue where the partyhall is. So we called one of the organizers of the party and realized: The party is in a totally different town and TOMORROW. So we were 5 sceners sleeping in a car with outdoor temperatures below the freezepoint. And someone was farting like every 5 minutes. The tour back was even more horror. With broken dampers, completely frozen roads and Yazoo (The only one with a driving license onboard) falling asleep every 10 minutes. A miracle that Oxyron survived that night.

haha, yeah! if there's footage i'd love to see it! There is a scenesat recording of it, but that doesn't really do it justice. also, i can't remember it really :D God how pissed we were.
Pissed? Why? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
(Pissed = Drunk, depending on your English.)
(While it might be interesting to have a "your worst party memory" thread, I fear it may devolve in to whining or people may not wish to share them. I'd already told the Nectarine oneliner about the previous for some reason, so sharing it again is less hard. That and it being half a year later.)

That's okay, as alluded to in my last post, I gave a German train car on the way to Revision 2014 a view of the contents of my stomach. It was a non-conditioned regional car, so it was quite warm, and getting something to eat not too long before getting on turned out to be a bad idea. Next year I think I'll stick to water until I get in to town. (Worked for the return.) I apologize to the Germans, I did try to clean it up but the conductor sent me back to my seat. The train was moving after all. I now know where the nearest coin-operated laundromat is to the Crystal Hotel, which even had [free?] detergent.by axis^oxy:

Joking with my good old fellow Alkama at Evoke 2013 <3
Ho , forgot : the 16 hours drive trip to the Party 2000 with made and other French sceners. The 5th speed of the bus letting us down half way
The Party 1991
- watching hardwired and Odyssey on a huge screen
- the D-Mob living room build inside the large hall :D That was the shit!

Lots of nice memories, though I suppose Assembly '94 being the first demoparty I ever went to is up there as one of the important moments. It felt weird and confusing, but also exciting. The nice atmosphere at several parties in late 90's and early 2000's .. Abduction '97/98, Proxy, Lobotomia, ..
But perhaps the most memorable feeling was at Assembly 2003 during the oldschool demo compo as PWP's "Robotic Liberation" was running. Having participated in making of it, and the huge reception it got was just awesome.

@CCR : watching the audience enjoy 'Robotic Liberation' was probably an awesome moment, I can imagine that :')
All drink-cidents:
MS2002: Seeing smash bounce straight off a glass wall thinking he could walk through it, drunk, ofcourse. I lolled.
Me and Smash getting back to hotel during a breakpoint, drunk as fuck, going straight into the breakfast hall, Smash putting a boiled egg in my coffee. People not amused. Leaving various meats in the cupboards of our room before check out. how cunty.
In retaliation for the egg-cident, during sundown that year, buying an expensive cut of meat to slap Smash with when he isn't expecting it - the ham-cident. Sadly the ham slap wasn't caught on video :(
BP2005 - what a heck of a party! Managed to get 20+ uk people to a party, before it was only a few of us. CUNT CUNT CUNT-CIDENT! Sorry for the absolute cuntiness.
Many memories of Giles <3
crazy times.

Me and ne7 deciding to drive to Evoke, roadtrip style!
Staying over in Calais on the way home, strange place. Discovering its pretty much dead except for a club that appears to be only open to members (closed door, no one outside). ne7 knocking on door and negotiating for us to go in for a drink. Turns out to be some local mob joint, locals turning up looking like pimps with multiple women under their arms.. barman playing an inflatable guitar for the whole duration. Getting chased by locals who are smashing up cars on the way back to the hotel. Then flagging down a taxi to find one of the dodgy guys from the club in it.. v. bizarre night.
It was more scary and confusing than it sounds :)

Boat ride down the Rhine during evoke with dmg, abho, ne7, asking for a bottle of moet and getting strange looks from the waiter.
Asm94, coding 4k intro all night, going to sleep something like 10 am, Space Debris being played all the time, hearing SID emulator for the first time, on someone's 486/50 (I had 286/12)
