I study at Edouard-Montpetit College and was sorry to realize
the room where they were organizing doesn't have any Naid poster
on it anymore. I think they're gone studying elsewhere. Are there
any chances we get another NAID here? I missed the end of NAID 96
and have not heard the organisers last words...
I suggest you search the net for their e-mails.
Good Luck

I believe their last words were "There will be no Naid next year". :(
It's up to someone else now to organize the next North American demo
party...
In my opinion, people should start organizing smaller parties... For
instance, on a provincial (or state) scale. Much easier to organize, and
still could be a lot of fun.
However, nothing beats something like Naid...

Right, and the party held in Wyoming will have a whopping 1 attendee -
the organizer ;)
We've tried and done this before, although the result is a small,
intensely fun party, it doesn't compare to large parties (for the sake of
meeting people). Kinda like one of those small private parties held in
Finland all the time ;)

What's so wrong with small parties? Even if they only have 10-15 people
meeting at a friend's house, at least you get to spend some time with local
friends, perhaps more than if you were in a crowd of 3000 in a foreign
country. I like big parties too, but I agree with Mike (or whoever :)
that local (state-province sized) parties should be encouraged. One
shouldn't have to wait a whole year to meet people or release a demo.
(unless your name is Jesse Rothenberg and you get to fly all over the
world whenever you want :)
The only problem I have is when people over-advertise small parties, and
try to get people to come based on promises ("Future Crew will be there!"
:). This pretty much only happens in America. If you're going to do
something, work on setting it up, rather than talking trash about it on
IRC/csipd/etc.
So, when is SoCal '97 going to take place? ;)

Well, what I meant to say was this: Organizing a large party is
difficult. In order to do it right, you need experience. One way to get
experience is to try organizing one, but usually this fails and things can
get messy sometimes.
A better solution would be to organize one or two small parties (~50
people) so you can get an idea of how things will work, where to rent
equipment, who your friends are, who your enemies are... You can also use
this opportunity to make valuable contacts in the business world - for
sponsors, equipment rentals, space rentals, etc.
That way, when you go to organize your big party, you'll know what to
expect, and everything will run much smoother. At least, that's the
theory. :)

~50 people? Forget it. You need at least 100 people to cover the
expenses (you can't even imagine what I'm talking about unless you
have tried to organize something; there is a lot more than rentals)
and you still need some prize money. ~150 people is the minimum I
think. There is no chance to get a sponsor for a party with only ~50
people. And even if you find a sponsor - they are VERY VERY unwilling
to give you any money or pay expenses... They rather give you silly
hardware. Trust me - I've tried to find sponsors for two Abduction
parties and I'm currently trying to find a sponsor for Abduction'97
It is still damned hard even if we are talking about a party with >500
people.

No way, 50 is enough to cover expenses. You just don't have any
money for prizes then.

With 150 visitors you can easily have 8000-10000 Fim for prizes which
is quite good amount, I suppose.

Well, they don't give you any money, it is quite obvious but many instances
can give you things you need in organizing party and if you don't get
them free you get at least discount. These things are place, projector,
pa and other similar things. In your case, it might be harder to get
those because it is already quite big happening and you are, or should
we say, your organization is getting a lot of money so you can afford
more expensive things in your organization. But when talking about parties
for 100-200 people you don't have to pay that much since you don't need
that big hall.
Can't remember if you were organizing Abd94 but if I remember right it
went just fine and it wasn't that big party. Same goes with Demolition,
which is about to be organized again. If someone is interested in it I
can say that date will be 22-24 November and invitation textfile is about
to be released this week.

If you drop partylan out you don't need sponsor. With 50000 finnish
mark you can do miracles.

Yes you do. At least Pohjankartano wasn't insuranced. And insurance fee wasn't low.
Notice that you also need an insurance for the equipment (audio/video systems,
compo machines, copier, etc.). You also have to pay some extra for equipment
transportation insurances.
One problem with schools is also that there are not all suitable for a demoparty.

A perfect date for partying but a less perfect day for making some quality
releases, I think. :)

Only about 400 paid the entrance fee (the rest were girls + a few VIPs).
I'm not allowed to tell you how much expenses we had... Contact the winners,
ask how much money they got and do some reverse-engineering. :) You would
be surprised to see how much we _had_ (yep, we don't spend money for fun)
to pay for the facilities (makes it easier to imagine what kind of sums Assembly
Organizing has to pay)..

Yes I could (and I did), but they wouldn't have given us any money instead of the

I know what you mean, but that is not the only reason why sponsor
money is needed... You need a lot of money even before anyone actually
pays the entrance fee (insurance fees, plastic, tapes, a lot of paper
and so on). Without sponsor money you have to pay all these expenses
from your very own wallet. It sure doesn't help you to relax before
the happening because you just can't know how many people are going to
attend your party.

Yes, for Abd'94 we got everything for almost free, but not anymore.

I'm not sure if I follow... We're getting a lot of money? From where?
I haven't seen even a single penny.

Yep, but do you remember how horrible audio and video systems we had?
The crappy converters/decoders/etc. didn't work at all. We had to - don't
laugh! - use a video camera to get the picture from the monitor to the
video projector. (I hope everybody understood what I meant.) Everything
was very blurred on the screen and I guess that that is exactly the reason
why Complex' 'Shamaan' won the compo (Hi Jmagic!).
Also we didn't need that much money for the prizes, because there weren't
too many competitions. Same goes with Demolition too. They had a combined
PC-Amiga compo and so on.
>> parties and I'm currently trying to find a sponsor for Abduction'97
>If you drop partylan out you don't need sponsor.
The partylan didn't cost us anything. I brought all the necessary stuff
from work for free. The partylan has absolutely nothing to do with spon-
soring (Telecom Finland was listed as a sponsor anyway because we got
a lot of other things from there).
>With 50000 finnish mark you can do miracles.
Only IF you know beforehand that you will get 50000FIM ($10000).
Like I wrote earlier, you never know beforehand whether your party will
suck or not (you remember TSP'96, guys?).

Well, if organizing in school you most likely dont need insurance
since school haves one. But those tapes, plastics and papers you
can get easily and cheap and those aren't that much that you can
risk it.

Thats true. You need to build your budget on pessimistic approximation
so you don't lose. And in Finland case, there will be people in the
parties, especially in Abduction since it has a perfect date.

You have, but you have already given them away. I mean, that in entrance
fees you get a lot of money for organization. That money is (hopefully)
used for organizing party. It is not to be considered as salary and I
didn't even mean that. But you should have gotten almost 50000 Fim
as entrance fees and that is quite much for party and you can have
better facilities with that amount of money.

Thats true, 50000 is so much that it isn't very safe to assume have
so much :)
But even if I think hard I don't recall TSP'96 case...

No matter what the official word is, there will always be those people
who don't think it is true. Over here we have First Nations Cola, and
the owner is having trouble convincing both Aboriginal and
European-descended people that the operation is self-sufficient.
(Aboriginals because they wonder which big company subsidized it.
European-descendants because they wonder how big the handout was from
the government. And they say stereotypes are dead...)

Wait a second. Where's the nearest Abduction info file? what I read
from that is that only males were required to pay the entrance fee.
I'm guessing I'm wrong.

Probably a good area to point out that sponsors are more willing to
provide hardware than they are willing to provide cash.

Besides tapes, plastics and papers? Well, gas (you always know someone who
gives you a truck/van for free, but gas costs...) and phone calls/postages
(a lot of calls and letter during six months)...
It would be a lot more comfortable to use sponsor money to cover these
costs as most party organizers are students and really can't afford to wait
months to get their money back.

I know but the releases are practically everything that you and other
non-abductees see. Usually people form their opinion on parties based
on releases. I don't know whether it's right or wrong, but that's what
I've noticed (I admit that I do it myself too). Opinions?
A bunch of quality releases means that your party will be noticed, next
time more people will attend and even more quality releases will compete
and so on.
I don't see a reason why a party couldn't (/shouldn't) be both. Feel free
to disagree.

Exactly. 400+ males paid the entrance fee --> 40000+ FIM.

All the women at NAiD paid the entrance fee. Then again, I think I

Well, all the schools we asked had insurance. Also, PA and videosystems
had insurances. Compomachines etc. stuff is still left over but those value
isn't that big so insurance fee won't be that high either. It is still
money thou.
Besides, we were discussing about little parties, last abduction could be

You mean the 'free-for-all' compo where she sang? I think she was
great! My friend was actually ashamed of his entry when he heard

Nope, she got the prize money from the winning 100k intro, which she
did the music for. She didn't win anything for the singing, the two
animations took the prizes in that compo.

Yeah, everyone at NAID seemed to love that and 'Pulp'. Kinda scary, eh? :)
Maybe MS should beat the crap out of the other Threesome members on stage
for the next wild compo. :)

Nah, 'twas for the winning intro which ran backwards if you remember
I'm still disappointed my jokes didn't go so well :)

That was pretty sick. I guess it's a guy thing. I was never really into
them, I'm a 'wimp' :)

Ahhh... go back in your room and shut the door! ;) You could have
seen this live anytime/anywhere on our trip up to NAiD.
(and thanks phoenix, really, I appreciate it... Next year... *grumble*)
Kneebiter/Threesome
(Sorry that not everyone at naid is comfortable with english. Quite a
few groups I didn't get to know because of that.)

I know it was ftp'ed by the author as zipped FLCs but I don't know
where. I can obtain them and upload again if I only knew where to
put this kind of things. Does it go with demos? This is only
animation and there's no sound so...

It got uploaded to ftp.cdrom.com, but as we don't keep animations, it
was deleted after spending a couple weeks in /incoming. We didn't get
a good copy of the first .zip (guy-anm1?) tho, so feel free to upload that
so I can complete my collection. :)
