³¼INTERVIEW WITH¼³

³¼SIOUX OF HURRICANE¼³
²

 Yep,  The  mag  gives you an interview
with   the   main-organizer    of   the
Hurricane  party,  Sioux, who will tell
about their problems and why it went so
bad.

³TFG¹:  Well, the party is now over.  How
many people did actually show up ?
 
³Sioux¹:  ²I  guess  about  900 people was
visiting the party.¹

³TFG¹:  How  did  the  party  go  in your
opinion ?

³Sioux¹: ²He,he I guess you know what I'll
answer. It  didn't  go at all. Well, it
started  allright. But  slowly it began
to be worse.  And  it ended in  totally
kaos.  The  reason for this, was mainly
that some couldn't behave  and that the
organization wasn't good enough.
And that some organizers  didn't take a
responsibility  after  all,  didn't  do
what they were supposed to do.¹    

³TFG¹: Did you have any kind of trouble ?

³Sioux¹:   ²We  had  nothing  but trouble.
First of all there was a problem  about
the entrance.  We had 900 visitors, but
we only got the entrance-fee from about
400 people !!!  That was mainly our own
fault  because  not  all  the entrances
were guarded.  I really don't blame the
people just walking in. I guess I would
have done the same thing.
 Secondly there  was  someone  who made
vandalism  and  someone  who  broke  in
somewhere  in  the  school.  That costs
about  25000 d.kr.  And  the last thing
that have given us a lot of trouble was
some guys using a phone(modem??).  They
had  cut  up  some phone-cables outside 
the school and connected their phone to
it.  Today the phone-company called me,
and  said  that all  in  all that phone
had  been  calling  for  48!  hours  to
foreign countries. That gives a bill on
70000 d.kr.  What  a  nice  surprise to 
get.¹

³TFG¹:  Was it harder to organize a party
that you had expected ?

³Sioux¹:  ²Well,  not  in  the  beginning.
Everything  went  well before the party
started.  And we thought  that  we  had
made a good plan for the party.  But as
the  party  started, everything started
to  go  wrong,  for  finally  ending in
totally kaos.¹

³TFG¹: In  your  invitation,  you kind of
said  this  party would  be better than
the party in Aars. Try to compare these
two parties with each other ?

³Sioux¹: ²Yeah, as you said, our intention
was to make this party  better than the
party  in  Aars.  But  we  failed.  The
organization at the Aars party was much
better, more proffesional.  I guess the
only  thing  that  was better than  the
Aars party was  the  separation  of the
Amiga's and C-64.  And I think the C-64
had  a  rather  great party. It was the
biggest ever held for C-64's. And after
all I think this was the second biggest
party ever held.  But it wasn't as good
as the Aars-party for sure.¹

³TFG¹:  Was  all   the   prizes   given ?

³Sioux¹: ²No, they weren't. Only 7500 d.kr
was given as prizes.  Only the two best
got some prizes. The C-64 got all their
prizes,  but the two parties didn't run
on the same budget either. The problems
about  the  prizes are really giving me
the worst headache. Because we made the
big mistake not telling the groups that
the prizes were reduced,  before after!
the  demo-competitions   was  finished.
Otherwise ,some groups could had waited
with  the  release of their production.
So,  I really  understand  that Kefrens
got pissed.  But  I  have promised them
that  they will  get half  of the first
prize.  Either  the Amiga 3000 or 15000
d.kr. I'm really sorry for this !!¹

³TFG¹:  You  also  had some problems with
the voting-system. What went wrong ?

³Sioux¹:  ²Well,  it  wasn't really ready.
And then some couldn't  understand that
they  only  should  use the  9  numbers
once.  So we  had  to  make some of the
competitions   two   or   three  times.
Another  problem  was  that  there  was
voting-sheets all over the place, so it
was  easy  for a person to vote several
times, and thereby cheat !¹

³TFG¹:  Will you ever arrange a new party
after this ?

³Sioux¹:  ²Not  under this handle or under
this  group.  But  since  Hurricane  is
dead, I will soon join a new group. And
that   group  is   planning   a   party 
somewhere in the future. But everything
is TOP SECRET!. But I guess I will help
a bit with that, giving advises of what
not to do! etc.  But  I  will  never be
main-organizer of a party again.¹

³TFG¹:  So  I  guess that you haven't got 
rich on this affair ?

³Sioux¹: ²NO!!, that's for sure. We have a
minus on about 50.000 d.kr. And since I
have signed all the contracts I think I
have to  pay  about  80%  of it. So I'm
definately not rich. Besides all this I
have, after the party ended, started to
get  some  packages with alot of stuff.
Today    I    got    a   package   with
computerstuff  for  9000  d.kr  from  a
company.  Of course I just return them,
but  it's  annoying  anyway ( Stop that
shit!,  the  man have  enough  troubles
already! ed.) But there's nothing to do
except for keeping up my good moode.¹ 
  
³TFG¹: Ok, Sioux, that was all. Thanx for
answering  the  questions. Good luck in
your  new  group  and  in  the  future!
 And  I  guess  this  shows  that there 
certainly are some big  risks by making
a party,  and  it  also shows  that the 
party  in  Aars  really  was  fantastic 
organized.
