AfterSota

category: general [glöplog]
I should be sleeping now. I am in the university RZ after having a big Teller of Dönner and narrating my adventures to the owner of the store who got bored to see me frequently there ;)

So,. I'll probably make it short.

It was diferrent. It had some better elements than TUM and some worse. I was expecting it bigger. Not many people seemed to have come and fewer foreigners than expected (As seen by the register list. Btw,. I had registered in the website, more than one week ago, but my nick never appeared! Hehe ;). I meet some French people I had never seen before, mostly hanged around with ATC of Cocoon who was a former CPC scener and we talked about such stuff :), the people from Oric scene (I watched their demos and then played Pulsoids for hours later, when I got bored at times), Crown/Cryptoburners and later with the German people inside the ring. It was preety fun sometimes! But I still have the best feelings from TUM, just because I met there various people and Pouet gloppers who know me from around the world =) Or perhaps because it was also my very first time to meet scene people that were just nicknames and still photos before appearing in real life. Read my crazy TUM report in the next PAiN btw (If you survive after the half part). Or also, because I think the TUM was more like a drinking fiesta (There were some people producing too there, but I think this was most seen in Sota) than the French meeting (And I am sad that I will miss the real fiestas like BP or Evoke :P). I don't know,. I have more unique memories and feelingful from TUM than Sota. But Sota was good enough too..

I liked what they didn't do on TUM (why?). Showing random demos through the projector all the time. And I also think that it ruled that they sometimes show oldschool demos too (From Amiga and especially the Oxygene/Spiral dedicated show. When I heard the little AtariSt sounds, I got happy as a little child again =)

I am now waiting for the photos. Don't wonna look sometimes! :) I think I was a bit more drunken than in TUM (brought 2 bottles of Ouzo with me) and did some strange things with XXX and his friends :]

It was also interesting for me to walk around Tourcing/Rebaix and observe the French life. I also stopped a bit in Lille to get the zuruck train (Wtf are these strange mechanical arty farty construction in one road with ologram (not exactly but I don't know some other word) screen films? I like that I walk in a city and see such strange things there,. like the fact that French people allow every strange idea to be constructed in their cities). I just witnessed too, that In France a surprising percentage of people won't speak English (First time in my life, I am struggling to communicate with signals!), they drive like crazy (I have the strange feeling that they were more insane than greek drivers, but perhaps I just got used to the peacefull life in Germany streets :), small children always trying to have fun with me at the road while I don't know French (it was funny actually,. some wanted to annoy me and then they told me "motherfucker" and left away, someothers were surrounding and talking to me while laughing, funny things :) . Someone tried to sell me drug (Xasis, Hasish,. how is it written in english anyways?), then I witnessed two people and a girl shouting and fighting hard, that was crazy thing, especially when the girl was dragging the one man until he pushed her away with a reverse kick move (Like in Target Renegade running on Amstrad CPC!!! =) Crazy!!! It was diferrent,. I walked just for few times in 2 days and I always witness crazy things or people trying to sell coolness to me (Uhm,. that's a stupid greek translation). I am just wondering if it is the same with driving and people on Greece and I just got used to the more peacefull (and really deserted at nights) life in Germany? I'll see when I come back after Erasmus. (I am really curious of how Greece will look like to me then..)

Gotta go now and I hope I'll find my long awaited GUS on my mailbox. Agghhh!!!

I'd like to ride my bicycle now, my beloved bicycle, but I'll have to go with the boring Straba because just before coming to Sota, I broke my keys, because the lock freezed a bit and it was harder to open and then they both broke :OO)

And last but not least, where can I find the "Viva Cologne" song in MP3? Is that done for the Evoke demoparty? Or is it an old song? Or,.. what exactly does it say in German btw???

Blah :/

I knew that. All the times I have started with such a claim (in emails too), it ended up much bigger than I thought!

Another funny case is when I start writting an email and it gets so big that I write something in the middle like "Ooops,. sorry, I never thought my email would get so big, so I have to finish it very soon :P". But after that phrase, another 15kb of text follows ;)

The most funny(?) times (just remembered) that some people might had with me. I was sticking to people at the first day always with the same phrase "Hallo! I want to meet people!!! What is your nickname/group?". Haha. Then,. I show some hairy people and one told me that they were from Eclipse and that he was Light show. Then I was extatic like "Wwooooowwwwww!!!! Llllliiiiggghhhhttt Shhhoooowwww from Eccclllippsseee!!!", "Wowoooooo!!! Let me meet you once again and give you my hands!!!!!!!! Yeeahhhhh!!!". Hehehe..

gargaj & sparcus: do you think that those suits would hold him? I think we'll need a proper optimus containment unit:

But I haven't understand all he said to me, maybe because I'm not enough skilled in english or his accent was too weird. (maybe drunk he was ! :))
