Scamp may be slumped over his battered keyboard despairing over how Breakpoint will manifest itself this year but there's no reason why the scene cannot continue to deliver to you the utmost quality and entertainment... for tonight, for two nights only Icabod from Raww.org presents to the world the latest in a long line of demoparties dedicated to the ZX Spectrum - RAWW.ORGY 09!

This weekends guests are gasman, icabod, laesq, rc55, stavs & zeb. While the snow and slushy ice accumulates in the UK, preventing easy transport from county to county - we strive to deliver the REAL party experience!

Regular updates to this thread on the party's progress will contiune today and throughout the weekend. It's going to be a nail biting, adrenaline fuelled epic journey, and none of us would want to live knowing you missed out!

And if you look at our bigscreen, if you consider the amout of screenspace per visitor, our 42" Plasma is over TWICE THE SIZE OF BREAKPOINTS SCREEN!!!!1111

So keep it locked in, RAWW is ready to ROLL.

I can report that in Birmingham the snow is like 1 inch thick and this state of affairs precludes any visit to your party.

I will donate £2.50 towards a live stream fund so I can spy on you while working over the weekend :(

Live video streams can be achieved my videocalling my mobile on a 3G phone!

...and hey, like last year there's even more chance of more 256b intro entries than visitors!

Unfortunately my phone won't make video calls because they were only viable in Captain Scarlet.

Haha, well, if it is at all possible I'll set up a live video stream. :)

Photos would do :) I hear Exeter is nestling in a wintry apocalypse.

It is, here's the news updates:

you could use public cctv for live streaming.

Hmm. Will keep an eye on that - hopefully it'll clear a bit in the afternoon.

Stavs has put the kettle on, it looks like coffee is in order! Oh yes! Gasman is on the train, Icabod's driving down and LaEsq is bringing lots of speccy goodies for modding.

The partymeister system consists of a ring bound notebook for each participant, the tension here could be cut with a knife!

Probably a good idea to hide the knives before Gasman arrives ;)

Gasman and Icabod have been here a few hours.

- I've composite modded my 48k and it looks WELL NICE. Innit.
- My mate Barry came over with his broken PC and I'm gonna fix it.
- Stavs TV does a lovely job at handling interlaced Speccy demos. Ooh.
- We all went for a nice Pizza and only Stavs couldn't eat his whole pizza.
- Then we went to the co-op but there was no Beef Jerky for gasman! Oh nos!

Stay tuned!

sounds like a well wicked party ;_D

/me has 42 inches of gigascreen loveliness

This evening, each party-goer has just over 8 of stavs inches.
I'm talking about the screen size, you dirty things.

Well, it's 2:32am and we've done a little speccy stuff.

- Barry's still sat about, his god damn PC doesn't like reference nForce drivers, and four re-installs later, we found that the latest nForce3 250 drivers fuck a Windows install ROYALLY when the LAN driver is installed. Utterly unbootable.

- I've just opened a bag of chilli flavoured Nobby's Nuts.

- We've played a lot of Guitar Hero and watched a few speccy demos too.

- Icabod and Gasman are in a discussion about different time signatures.

greets from tbk&4d to all party organisers and visitors! :) you guys rocks!

speccy scene > pc scene

...and now, we order food.
Chinese takeaway no less.

sounds like a lot of fun and a hell of a party! :-)
greetings from germany. HUND!
