We tried to push our dates forward a weekend but the fates said no!

Instead of happening June 20-22, 2014, @party 2014 will take place June 13-15.

So instead of being up against Sundown we're up against Dreamhack.

Also, we shall be announcing a new and novel compo shortly, for a new three-dimensional platform . . .

Also, this may be the last year. Making no promises.

And expect to see metoikos at both NVScene 2014 and Revision 2014.

OR compo?
hope you get a lot of entries :)

Outdoor Research? :-S


Aww. Guess if I'm going to try to show up it will have to be this year.

vectrex compo?

Laser compo?

Nope. ( ;

Announcing our *new* Voxiebox compo! Do it in 3D at @party 2014.

Me too, I've been publicizing it all over the place. Should be quite a sight to see!

I expect a pretty awesome holographic battle! :]

looks pretty rad actually

As noted above, this year's highlights include a new competition on the Voxiebox, as detailed below,
but we will also have some new trophies! Bathsheba Sculpture is once more providing the first prize trophy for the demo compo.

In response to 2013 attendee feedback, the competitions will start later on Saturday night.

We have also
-reserved a second room more conducive to mingling for socializing, eating, and some of the seminars
-provided parking and restaurant guides and an updated lodging guide
-will offer comped memberships for one guest per speaker
-hope to provide some complimentary refreshments to attendees

In addition to our usual First Place Demo trophy, a customized Klein bottle opener donated by Bathsheba Sculpture,


we will also have lovely laser-etched trophies created by AMCBAIN this year!

We are pleased to announce the speakers for @party 2014.

So this sucks, it turns out when the party moved the dates back a week the coincided with something else on the Thursday/Friday of that week for work (that I can't miss) so if I did come I'd only be able to be there for Saturday and Sunday. Leaving late Friday to get there so I could enjoy all of Saturday (socializing, speakers, compos, etc.) would potentially leave me dead inside upon arrival. That's not fun. :(

I hope this isn't the last one, though I would likely understand any of the reasons why if so. I'd likely be able to make the next one. I skipped NVScene because I needed the vacation and budget to hit Revision, and this is the only other party without doing international travel again. :(

Totally understood.

But if you join us on IRC and the stream, you'll be with us in spirit.

The States is laaarge.

I can make no promises for the future yet, but I have hopes.

Also, reminder for folks: If you want to enter the Voxiebox compo, you need to get their SDK. Go to voxiebox.com to sign up.

oh yeaah. linky linky.

Once upon a time @party featured the opportunity for streaming music entries with "adequate" length (<-subjective view). That was the time when i supported the party with a track year after year (probably 2 ;) )
Then out of somewhere the radio-edit (3:30 mins) rule was invented.
And the support stopped.
Sad thing. I liked the party.
