Perhaps it was time
…I started writing stuff on my own blog as well. It’s been a while, but thankfully Geir has been around to tide you over. It’s been a pretty hectic few months, with a number of other projects taking up my time – some still not “public”, so it’s not stuff I could talk about freely here. Anyway, this post will be fairly demoscene-centric, so consider yourself warned up front. Since last we spoke, I travelled to the rather awesome Datastorm demo party in Gothenburg, and hung out with some fantastic people. Thanks to all who went with me, and all I met there. I got to shake hands with Blaizer.
Since then, most of my free time has been going into planning and ultimately holding the very first EasterGarden party in Hamar, Norway just a few days ago, at easter. This new party provides a service missed by many attendees of The Gathering (TG), providing a playground both for creative endeavours away from the noise and crowd of TG as well as facilities for enjoying a few adult beverages at the end of the party day. My crew did an outstanding job, and it is thanks to them more than anyone that it actually turned out pretty good. Despite a few hiccups along the way, and some last-minute cancellations, they all without fail rolled with the punches and made sure all our visitors had a good experience. You guys rock. As I always do when I attend or arrange demoparties, I also made a few new friends along the way – so hi to everyone I actually spoke with, especially the Swedish guys from Mr. Cheng. Also thanks to Bob, without whom no demoparty is complete.
I also want to have a small talk about my biggest project ever, and quite possibly even an important one for more people than me. But that’s in my next blog post. Now, if you’ll excuse me, apparently i “owe” some people a server, so I may try to get that looked at this evening. Before the Barcelona – Real Madrid match. Cause football is important too.
