Little known fact is that we bought our first McDonalds at the Grand Canyon with Revision prize money
Winnerdinner
We’re throwing free bbq every now and then! Next one is at Comparade!
Used it to compensate for the tickets and traveling costs.
My easterparty winnings were a rolling fund to support next year's trip for about a decade
I once paid my rent with my winnings.
This demo won us a party-supply bulk box of 100 "Schaumküsse" (Which, I think, were called differently back then). We started eating them on the return trip in the regional train to Hamburg. I don't recall whether we ever finished that box or what else happend to it.
To everyday household necessities, beer and on Assembly case to train from Helsinki to Tampere.
we once won a third place (I think) at the meteoriks for Demoscene Battle Cards, and the A4 paper we got was promptly spent by drunkenly getting beer on it as we sat on the floor watching the Amiga compo!
The most recent prizemoney I got I asked to be paid directly to EFFi.
A quite memorable prize were the vouchers from Flug.de, which we got at Mekka/Symposium 2K. A few months later XXX and I used them to fly over to Assembly; which was a hell of a trip. At that time they still served hard alcohol during the flight...
used the money to pay for the trip and some food, and traded one of the AppleTVs i won with dfox for an iPhone 5S i think :D
With the money we won at Revision for our Cosmic Orbs demo (Jobbo, Powler, Magnar and me) we bought a ticket to the X-party and gave it to a friend that wanted to go, but could not affort it. And he loved it!!!
