                                      Hi, 
                   this time a short review done by Stony. 
 
 
 Tuesday the 26th of December: 
    
                             - The Beginning -
    
    This time the report is done by Stony since Meriadoc decided to skip
    this party since he has too much things to do for school.

    After having brunch with my family and girlfriend I packed all my stuff
    together and went to TyZM with whom I leave to Denmark. This year we,
    ofcourse, went with Reality (including Lowlife/Axis, Raver/Effect PC and 
    Dope/Spaceballs) again as we did last year. 
    We left at TyZM's place at 16:30.

 Wednesday the 27th of December:

                              - The Arrival -
    
    We arrived at 06:45 in Frederica (Denmark) after a long night of fun 
    and without sleep. We entered the Partyplace at 08:00 since they 
    asked $15 more if we entered before... sounds commercial to me.

    After putting up a small network we are now playing a bit and ofcourse
    typing this small report. I have had several power-downs now since some
    people wanna hit the switch... 

    I have seen some familiar faces... more should arrive later since some
    groups do leave today.

    The big screen... well better say small... people back in the hall can
    hardly see it. The hall is also much smaller than it was last year in 
    Herning. Hope we can follow all compos well enough. Groups who haven't
    reserved probably don't have a place left for them. TNT also arrived 
    at about 10 'o clock. It is snowing outside. Phone is expensive, strange
    thing.

    *16:43,

    Well.. we are playing network Command & Conquer, quite a nice game,
    lost two times already :(. Nothing special going on, we are waiting
    for a compo. The weather is very nice outside so I'll take a look
    this eve. Most of the people from the bus are asleep or are somewhere
    in town.

    *19:00,

    Going to get some Pizza this eve, too much light in the hall to
    some good quality on the big screen. Most of the people are in now
    as far as I can see (well... The Raver/Effect PC, noticed that New Order
    still hasn't arrived.).
    No films are shown this time, at least I haven't seen anything of it.

    *22:48,

    Just returned from the Pizza Man... pwoaak.. this was the most horrible
    Pizza I have ever eaten (actually half).
    Now they are showing a short film about Somewhere in Holland as it was
    held in Roosendaal (Holland) last year.
    Still too much light and too much playing of Command & Conquer :).

 Thursday the 28th of December:

    *02:15,

    The 4 Channel Music Compo just started, I can't hear a thing since a lot
    of noise is coming from everywhere.
    At the moment a rave party is going on so people had to move out of the 
    sleeping hall since the rave party is being held there... weird too..

    *10:04,

    I just woke up since I have been to bed for 6 hours, nothing special
    has happened. Most people are waiting for the compos to begin. I hope
    some nice demos (and ofcourse intros) will show up.

    *11:30,

    The fast intro compo just started, they don't announce it, it just
    starts. Still too much light everywhere so you must be in front of the
    screen or else you won't see a thing.

    *13.20,

    We just noticed that the graphics compo started, sh*t why can't they
    announce it ?!? I missed the first 8, what I have seen till now 
    is quite good, also some rendered are present. About 75 graphics
    have been shown. The gfx compo will be shown again tonight because of
    the daylight. 
    
                      The graphics I'll vote for:
    
 1) 55) Wooooooww !! Two ladies with tatoes... a winner ! Danny Rules !
    
 2) 36) A woman turning her head around towards to the viewer. 
        by Angelo/Axis
    
 3) 50) Lady with blue her, nice one !
    
    A funny one to mention is Pamela Anderson a.k.a. Silicon Valley :)

    Lots of ladies are in the pictures this Party.

    *19:00,

    Just returned from the McDonalds, one of the main sponsors of this
    party. We had some fun, Dutch people aren't allowed anymore now :)
    The C64 compo just started, lot of people running to the big screen
    to see what the good old C64 still can do.
    The demos are really good ! If people are as enthousiastic as they
    are with these demos then we have good demos for a change !!

    *21:00,

    The wild compo is started and the animation are really great, 
    some animations done by PC are a bit sturdy... too bad... maybe there
    should have been a better player for the PC. Amiga animations are
    really great.

    *23:00,

    Went to the toilet a few minutes ago... well.. too bad that some
    people don't know how to behave. All walls are under grafity and
    stickers. And those guys who do that keep complaining about entrance ?!
    Party 4 CD is also available ($35) and is full of stuff, not bad.
 
 Friday the 29th of December:
    
    *00:45,

    The PC demo compo... A lot of entries...
    Wooooowww.... d/l those demos !! There are really good demos showing
    lots of really fast effects and nice 3D views ! Seems that after a 
    long period of bad stuff the good stuff is coming... complete 
    3D 'animations' showing very fast !!

    Not al demos have been shown !! Demos from Acme and Logic Design
    for example, seems as if the dutch are being boycotted...
    
    *04:30,

    Dutch sceners are mad ! Why you think ?! Because a lot of Dutch 
    productions haven't been showed, lot of trouble with the organisers.
    A list has been made for signing for 'The Party 5 Suxx', lot of people
    have signed. Hope things will be solved. Too bad that this all
    ruines the party.

    *10:25,

    Well.. the Party is almost at its end, lot of people are going home
    already, I don't know what time we'll leave. 

    *14:00,

    The party has ended, the results are in... Danny/Spaceballs won the
    gfx-compo. EMF won the PC demo-compo for the results of the other
    get on to our FTP site.

                        - Other people's opinions -

   Well, so here we are, at the great 'Party 5' in Denmark. This is my first
   Party (Denmark that is), and sofar I think it isn't really worth the long
   trip over here. We were driving all night to be here in time and when we
   came here, we had to pay an extra 25 Guilders for entering the party-
   place, what we (ofcourse, Dutch as we are) didn't do. This was the first
   of many dissapointments for me. But then again there is always a bright
   side to things. I met (again) a lot of new people here, and I finally got
   the change to defeat Stony in Command&Conquer (loser ;) )... 

   Well, so far so good, we will sit out this party, but it isn't quite what
   I expected it to be (I didn't even get a *REAL* Party bracelet, instead
   we got some paper thingie *SNIF*). Ok, this will do for me for now, I
   hereby give the keyboard to this guy (read: Raver) next to me with his 
   PlayStation Logo behind his Windows'95 (AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA).

   I hope I can type something here because I have gotten no chance yet
   to sleep, and will not get any the next hours because some *sswipes
   (read organisation) decided to keep the Rave party in the sleeping hall.
   (Well, at least The Fox 2 will do some music at it!)
   We are going to eat some real food soon, the cheese i have taken with me
   is getting some weird color! aaaaargh. (it smells they say!!)
   I would also like to say something about the whristbands! they s*ck.
   It is some paper thing taped around my whrist and it's anoying me!
   ok enough talk. cya

   My feet hurt. My eyelids are heavy. The walls under my eyes have reached
   the bottom part of my chin...

                 I WANNA SLEEP!

   But I can't because some nerd (read: organiser) has placed a RAVE party
   in the sleeping hall :-(... Picture that: you want to sleep and the hall
   is constantly filled with at least 150 decibells. I spoke with the
   organisation today for about 1.5 hours and they couldn't give another
   explaination then that the rave party was supposed to be in another hall.
   I don't care...

   My feet hurt!

   Dope/Spaceballs (organiser SIH '96)

                                   --/--

   Hello Dope, are you having fun...........?
   So... this is supposed to be the party... I,m having a really good time.
   I wish that we had more days than just 2,5. It is so crowded! Again, lots
   of people I know and lots of people I met. It's a pitty that the screen 
   isn't as big as expected. 
   Last night I almost didn't get any sleep, there was a rave-party goin' on
   in the sleeping hall!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
   I woke up after half an hour finding my fingers in my ears! That was
   horrible.
   I found out that Denmark looks lovely being covered with snow...
   I haven't seen that much snow in a very long time.
   Well...I liked the compo's that I've already seen.I think that that  
   cola-crash was quite a mess and the wild was wonderful! 
   Well, as you see I'm not so tired as my brother, though I didn't
   get much more sleep as he did.
   I leave yo'all here, 'cause I have some things to do. I wish you all
   a very happy new year and see you at SIH '96 !!!
   
   Ciao,

                                  --/--

   Well, this is the first time at a party outside of Holland. Seems to 
   be that there were a lot of groups to have a demo ready, but weren't 
   shown on the big screen. I don't know, but I think that they deserved 
   to be shown on the screen too. About the screen, it was a little dark
   and not that big, furthermore the screen could be placed a little bit 
   higher. And after all, in the beginning, the first night, there was a
   great RAVE party, for those who like it, i didn't! I wanted to sleep.

   bye,
                              Walyx/TNT
   
                                  --/--

   Hello...  well, don't expect too much text here, because i'm quite 
   sleepy.. I think this wasn't a realy great party.. i mean, i also 
   visited the party'92 and it was much much better then.. They hadn't
   got silly rave-parties in sleeping-halls till about 04.00 am.. I
   realy can't imagine that somebody can think of organizing this.. 
   But i guess that the whole organisiation sucked!! I mean.. why were
   all the dutch demo's disqualified?? (well, maybe analogue came through
   but that's maybe because they are not completely Dutch!). Well, that's
   it for now...

   see ya.

                               - The Ending -

   
 Saturday the 30th of December:  
   
   *16:45,

   Here I am sitting behind my new keyboard since my party keyboard is
   broken, I went in a rush to the nearest computer shop to get myself
   a new one.

   I arrived back home at 04:00 this morning after a 12 hour trip
   with a lot of fun and without sleep. I was in the same bus with
   The Wizz/Reality, Dope/Spaceballs, 'God', Harmony/Ind, 
   The Raver/Effect PC, Lowlife/Axis and Tyzm/Ind. 
   The Raver, Harmony, Tyzm and I stayed awake with Turbo and Red Bull,
   some powerdrinks. We had a lot of fun and were totally broken when 
   we arrived back home.

                            - The Conclusion -

   I have had a lot of fun during the Party 5, too bad that the organisation
   this year wasn't quite well. Last year the Party was much better.
   I hope these quys do better next year.

   Most releases for the compos were very good, the productions are
   worth the d/l so get on to Hornet FTP now !
