Under DeConstruction 2021 - Cancelled

category: parties [glöplog]
 
Hi,

other than the wonderful invitation we haven't done much PR about it (for good reasons), so you might not even know that Under DeConstruction was scheduled as a replacement party for Under Construction (which had been a replacement party for TUM) for December 27-29 this year. This is because the (rather huge) team of organizers absolutely wanted to do the party, but obviously the Corona situation had become worse and worse during the last couple of weeks, so we wanted to wait until the last minute to make a final decision on the event.

That last minute is now, and it ain't pretty.

While it still would be legal to run this as a twice-vaccinated-plus-daily-tested-only event, we don't think everything that is legal also necessarily is clever to do.

So sadly it looks like we'll have to wait until the end of winter (and the current wave) to party together again.

The only sensible thing to do right now. Thanks for trying!
Sad news, if not unexpected. Thanks for giving it a shot (hah).

Ok, i have been visiting end-of-the-year demoparties for 30 years. Not having the chance to end the year in a way that i am used too already has been a huge bummer in 2020. Missing out on the chance to end year in 2021 with a demoparty as well is beyond sad.
But, hey, orgas thanks a lot for trying. Given the circumstances this is the reasonable choice to make.

Super sad to hear, esp. because I know how hard you guys were trying to make it happen and put in loads of effort to organize a nice event.

xxx: Same here.
nosfe: Same here.

Let's just look forward to the spring/summer demoparties.

v3nom: It's not that bad. We got this huge team of organizers dubbed "The UC orga's union" who are eager and on standby. As soon as it's safe enough to do so, we'll just try again.

Might actually help with the smell at the partyplace. Except at pants-off time maybe.

Very sad to hear, but in the end maybe the wisest decision to make.

Thanks for trying. It least it gave us the feeling of having the after-christmas party during the late-summer.
