sceners united: get pan-european!
category: general [glöplog]
just a quarter cent times eight of a thought that crossed my mind today (you can also consider this as tip for all you party organizers and party attenders alike).
if you want to have a nice party, it needs some nice party features. and when you have that, let it be live acts, chillout area, guaranteed good compos or whatever makes your party special, it's a good reason to advertise the party and get more people attending there. most of the time more / international people means also a better party.
what i'm saying, in lot of times smaller parties are the nicest. everyone goes to breakpoint, and there's a lot of people who meet at assembly or boozembly rocks, but you're missing out whole lot of thing if you forget all the great small parties around... let it be scene event, buenzli, evoke, playboymansionparty, solskogen, simulaatio or any of the other ones existing.
so why and how to visit these parties? organizers, set up your party place and date as early as possible and advertise. check out how people from further away can travel there cheap. the world is full of cheap airlines these days. i've done a roundtrip from finland to breakpoint for 40 euros (ok, it's normally not that cheap even with ryanair), and generally lot of trips in europe with some 100 euros. have a long weekend or take a week off to have some holidays at the same.
i'm not advertising or talking about any party, just more like observing that lot of time people don't attend a party they could or wanted to to just because it's not next to them or is supposedly expensive to travel for. in fact foreign parties can be closer than a party in your neihgbourhood - and most of time also more fun.
live prosper and don't forget to party! and see you at breakpoint :)

MIND THOSE WORDS. That's where most of the parties go wrong. (I know, I already been an orga once :)

The right time to spread that URL again: http://www.demoparty.net/
also, give detailed information on the party website of ways you can reach the party from public transport, if there are cheap bus companies serving the place from nearby railway stations / airports if the party is located outside a big city, links to bustrips being organized etc.
for who hasn't yet a salary like me and is short on money it's much easier to plan a trip if you can precisely estimate costs and you don't have to worry too much to find this kind of information.

rumor has it if you have stickers of your party at BP someone might wear them for the rest of the year.

I'm rather tempted to label it "The atari party where everybody's invited".
It's the atari and c64 scene who have all the good parties nobody else knows about. I like them opening the doors to those of us with newfangled hardware.
