±13-------------------------------------
±12by Dolphin

±11The "Rendezvous 1993" was arranged by
Symbiosis   in  Kristiansand,  Norway
from July 30th to August 1st.

Well, what can I say?  It was a quite
small  party,  with  only  about  ±12300±11
visitors.   The sound and audiovisual
equipment  was rather poor, but since
the  demo  competition was cancelled,
this didn't matter much.

Here  is  a  list of groups I noticed
was   present:    Andromeda,  Avalon,
Balance,      Cadaver,     Crusaders,
Cryptoburners(?),   Destiny,  Devils,
Eon,  Exile,  Iris, Lemon., Majic 12,
Noiseless,    Pure    Metal   Coders,
Spaceballs, Talent, The Pornos and of
course Stone Arts...

Here are the final results:

±13DEMO COMPETITION:

±11The  demo  competition  was cancelled
due  to  lack of contributions.  Only
three demos had been delivered...

The   first   price   in   the  music
competition  was  an A1200, while the
first    price    in   the   graphics
competition  was  a  Scala multimedia
package.  Commodore had promissed the
arrangers   an  A4000  for  the  demo
competition, but when they heard that
only  300  persons were present, they
changed   the  A4000  into  an  A1200
instead.

The  most  drunk person on this party
was  beyond  the shadow of the doubt,
Scott/Spaceballs.   He  actually laid
on the floor and puked blood!  (Sorry
for  refering  to  you  as a "wreck",
Scott!  ±13-Ed.±11)

The  biggest  disappointment  was  of
course  that the demo competition was
cancelled,  beside that the party was
o.k,  concidering how few people that
were present.  A thing that surprised
me  a  bit was the high entrance fee,
about  $18,5.   Especially  when  you
consider  that the competition prizes
were sponsored.

All  in  all,  the best thing at this
party  was  the  ±13hot-dogs±11  they sold!
Hmmm...

±12I   hope  Symbiosis  will  arrange  a
sequel to "Rendezvous '93" next year!
