Last Wednesday I slept 3hours, on Thursday 3hours more, Friday 5 hours, Saturday 3hours and yesterday (Sunday) 1hour on the plane and 5hours more.. In addition, the nights of Friday and Saturday were on a crappy airmattress with the extra addition of people talking and a fucking fly going around. So yeah.. I'm completelly naked now. However, now I have a little lunch break, so I'll try to expose my opinions about how the party was and what needs to be improved for the next edition (tho there were some rumours about having another edition or not, but I guess that happens always in any party). Sleep? The fact that now I'm naked makes me think that the idea of having the sleeping room on the other side of the dance floor wasn't really a good one! Sleeping with people dancing around you (sunday morning), with people chatting (sunday morning again!)... Well, it makes you think if you're enjoying the party or not. So, definitelly there were some bad decissions there. Weather The weather didn't help at all either. Having a very warm summer produced the creation of a LOT of bees and flys that were VERY annoying if you wanted to chill or eat. Even talking with the people you had the bees trying to foots! But that would be alright if atleast the day were hot and sunny enough just to go inside the pool and play with your scenepals (Which was the main point of latest edition of pmp imho). So this time having that -special- fun wasn't able because uncontrollable issues :_( Fucking weather! Inside or Outsite? Also, having the djs an visuals outside was much cooler last year, probably we moved inside the house because we probably fucked up the grass the last year... but being inside the house was very claustrophobic and having the people smoking there and ovbiosly having the sleep room on the other side, was simply nasty. Sorry :( Demoscene - productivity Oh well.. This time we had only 1prod. It was an xplsv+dust inc collaboration. I was going to do fast prod for atleast having xplsv releasing a prod, but as I saw that Shine already did that I decided to chill. What's going on!? Why nobody else did anything? Demoscene - international Again, I don't think there is too much you can do. But I'm sure that Shifter, PS and Melwyn didn't have the great time that the other international sceners had the last year. This time I think we were even more closed, and Shifter appeared to be quite a lot of times very irritated because the language issue. Demoscene - killing it or what? As a proud member ot TDSB (The demoscene savers brigade) I've to say that the fact that some new sceners were not invited to the party, even some ones that did more for the demoscene that people attending the party makes me sad. Is this a sect or what? If it will keep being like that the only thing that will happen is that the ones that get tired of it just don't go and we're going to be less people and less people. It will end up like a madrid friends house party with some music on there. I wonder if people like... slack, merlucin, madgoblin, silenci, stage7, bixo guys, nocturns guys... were 'invited'. Conga DJ sesion Great concept, but I'm from another generation I guess. Those musics were not that great to me, so I guess it was fun for 25-35 people. During that event I prefered to go to my 'bed' and read a tutorial done by kile ;) THAT guy The guy that was wearing that blue tshirt really pissed me off. It was being very annoying with everyone. Screaming in the VJs face ISN'T funny. Jumping to the DJ stage ISN'T funny. Moving the projectors ISN'T funny. Saying that the VJ is doing crap after telling him to don't touch the projectors ISN'T funny. Pushing you ISN'T funny. Talking crap ISN'T funny. Who the hell was that guy anyway? A new scener? And.. what kind of mushrooms did he ate? VJing Melwyn had a really good idea for his VJsession. However the implementation wasn't that great imho. That showed us that VJing is not just a 3dscene with a layer on the top. We all need to work on that. Threepixels visuals were nice, but guys, fix your tool! ;) Schranz It was quite funny to see that now the people -kind of likes- all that music that I've been listening for years :D That means thar r08028 and r08080 are going to be cool now? ;) I guess it's just a trend. Obviously, there are a lot of good things there, like the food, drinks, sound system and all that, sushi (kind of) provided by limp ninja+xplsv and good vibes, but I think we should think a bit about what are we doing. posted by trace at 12:40 6 comments written so far Yes... the fucking weather makes that i could not visit finally the party... well ... i think that i missed lots of thing again... posted by humphr3y 21.08.2006 , 14:29 haha that blue shirt guy reminds me of a bunch of annoying people i have encountered. what causes people to be like that?? posted by blackpawn 22.08.2006 , 05:29 100% agreed posted by sergeeo 22.08.2006 , 11:12 95% agree, about Demoscene - killing it or what?, someone told me that is not a coincidence that people invited to pmp, we're in fact, everybody who went party-outside every bcnParties, the orgos tried to make an ideal mixture of people with same behaviours, likes and dislikes,... The sleeping room next to the dance floor was a completely bad idea, but they cannot do anything more, the weather was so inestable to build-up a giant wood-floor-tent like past year, and let people sleept at 10% away of noise. weather crapped that, and the also the vivac-shader i've prepared. the blueTshirtGuy, ruined my patience, screaming at my face, and putting his long hair allover my laptop screen, also taken away from my mouth(lips) my own glass of rum, WTF?¿! at last, I've decided better went to sleep, being more polite, than starting a fight or something worse...SAD. There were a lot of people away from scene and scene attitude, and in my opinion, that fact ruined the last 2 days. Comparing with the big effort done by the orgos, that was a minor issue posted by JaK 22.08.2006 , 14:55 I can't remember the blue t-shirt guy... was that on saturday? (I went to sleep as soon as the party started, since I had to drive a lot by myself next day... woke up at 9 and started driving). I only remember waking up on sunday to see people shouting and jumping around with no music... what a disaster :) I think the party ruled... but it was MUCH better last year posted by Jcl 23.08.2006 , 11:14 some good points. but i think the worst thing that happened was the weather and that's something nobody could do anything about... if it was warmer, the problems with sleeping area being next to the loudspeakers wouldn't have been so big - just go outside to get your sleep. last night we slept in a tent outside and that was great - about 6 hours of continuous sleep. :) friday night the music was way too loud but that's pretty much only biggest complain i have towards to the organizing. posted by melw 24.08.2006 , 14:52 SORRY! Is not that I don't care about what you have to say, of course I do, but they are speaking louder and I lost my patience :(
