SILIconvention'97 - Germany//Bremen - http://www.siliconvention.com
OFFICIAL INFO TEXTFILE v3.1
==============================================================================
The Organizers of the FRIED BITS I-III,SILICONVENTION´94,BB SYMPOSIUM'96,
YELLING JAM PARTY and INTERCON'96 Party bring you the biggest computer-
party at easter 1997.
The Siliconvention follows the very succesful Fried Bits partys that were
held during the last years on the same time and location.
All Systems are welcome! That means we have lots of Competitions for the
following computers: ACORN, AMIGA, ATARI, C64, PC.
The SILIconvention should be seen as an alternative to the usual style of
taking parties.
We are of the opinion that just renting a hall, putting a video-beamer and
some music-boxes in it isn't enough, there should be something more about
it.
Therefore we decided to organize a party which offers what we missed
elsewhere :
Seperate competition-hall and sleeping rooms, showers, live acts, food and
drink at reasonable prices.
So you can enjoy the party even more, sleep when you want to, watch the
competitions you would like to see, or stay at the party-area and
enjoy the great spirit of the demo-scene.
We think that having fun is much more important than stupid warfares
between groups, systems, parties, people ...
We don't like the arrogant attitude some groups and organizers of other
parties exhibit towards other people, groups, systems, ...
So our party will differ in that !
There are some rumours about the SILIconvention being a "commercial" party,
this is not the case. Of course we have sponsors (all other partys we know
of have sponsors) without them it wouldn't be possible to keep the
entrance-fee as low as possible and have nice competition-prizes as well.
But there will be NO sales on the SILIconvention !
It is not a sales exhibition but a demo-party where people from all systems
have fun together.
All of our sponsors are only providing equipment for the party, or prizes
for the competitions. So we have excellent prizes, see list below.
Our prizes will fit the competitions, so there won't be any PC-group
winning an amiga tubo-card and no Amiga-crew will win software for the PC.
We have either prizes that fits the system, or things everyone
can use (for example video-consoles).
Some people wonder why they haven't heard of the main-organizers, the reason
for this is that we come from the the Atari-Falcon and Acorn scene , if you
are involved in one of these scenes you know us , otherwise you probably
don't.
But we are not unexperienced in organizing parties, the list at the top is
not exaggerated, we organized many parties and took part in much more,
so we know what we are doing.
And we have well known organizers from all systems, so you can be sure
every system will come to it's right.
So you can see, we are keeping the promises other parties made !
