A serious talk: Brazilian Demoparty

category: parties [glöplog]
It's been 12 years since OverSeas'99.
So... Yes, we are planning a demoparty in Brazil and it will occur on 12/2011. We still have no name for it, but I'd like to announce about this event earlier so you guys can save some money to party with us. ;)

It's a nice opportunity to visit our country, know our culture and demoparty!

We'll provide more information over time. :)

If you want foreign people to visit just make sure the party is near an international airport. Cause Brazil is about 48% of South America, you know?

Don't worry. We are thinking about Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo. :)
Rio seems to be the best place so far. It's a very touristically attractive place.

A demoparty in Brazil before the world comes to an end? :) Sounds awesome! I'm unsure about the prices of planetickets to Brazil though.

wold be cool to have brazilian demoparties again.

but dont expect foreign visitors on a first time party. unless its very close to a border of an active scene country and / or have money to give away.

also, please get in touch with the flashparty organizers from argentina.

Hmm . . . I am definitely interested (although whether I can swing the airfare is another story, I'll investigate), please send me location info at the @party email address (questions atsymbol atparty dash demoscene dot net) as soon as you have it/ add me to your mailing list!

I would very much like to network with demosceners in South America (and in fact, in all the areas where I don't have contacts yet).

Definitely worth cramming some Portuguese into my brain. I run a demoparty in Massachusetts, USA (ran a one-day in Montreal as well, want to work up to a real event), and really want to network with other folks from regions with less visible/centralized scene activity.

As for comments like "but dont expect foreign visitors on a first time party. unless its very close to a border of an active scene country and / or have money to give away" this may be true for people in regions with many parties, but every @party of the two so far has had foreign visitors, including the first (thanks CTrix!)

Thank you for posting Danguafer! ( :

\m/
i just said not to expect it, not that its impossible to happen. ;)

hehe. point taken.
numtek: hahah This is exactly our concern. :-)

ps: You've told me about them some time ago. Do you know where I could find them?

nosfe: Yeah, we will accept remote entries even encouraging the present participation.

nytrik: Hmm... no. :/

wullon: Hell yeahz! :-)

metoikos: As soon I have the location, I will post it here and (specially) mail you. We have an IRC channel if you want to maintain contact with us: #Silexars @ irc.freenode.org

acidbrain was the one i talked with the most. he used to be on efnet. but i havent been on irc for ages. this is all i know of him right now http://escena.org/users/view/265/

and that he mailed me last year about a new edition of flashparty (or a new event that was being planned to replace it, but that i guess also didnt occur in the end). but i lost that mail in a mail b0rk incident so i have no contact with him anymore.

@Danguafer: ps also suggested I contact pera, I think he was a flashparty orgo . . .
through his blog http://peramides.wordpress.com/contact/
in this thread http://pouet.net/topic.php?which=8230

I'll join you guys on IRC sometime as soon as I can. I tend not to go on much as I've got rather a full docket lately and it tends to vaporize hours at a time without so much as a pinch.
Danguafer: my vote is for São Paulo. Please tell me how I could (try to) help. Just to remember, Cumbica is an international airport. :)
added on the 2011-07-27 01:05:47 by imerso imerso
Yeah, I followed the thread. :)
But I didn't find him in the IRC channel. I don't think he's still there.

I'm also thinking about expanding the initiative for the whole south america. We need more accessible parties. If you know anyone else from here, please tell me. :)

imerso: It's very likely that it will happen in São Paulo. I'm also looking for people to help me organize the party. For now, I'm by myself.

We are thinking about making the party in 01/2012. What do you guys think?
added on the 2011-07-27 03:44:32 by Danguafer Danguafer
Well, 3, 10, 17, 24 and 31 are Saturdays... you know, most people are not working these days. I am guessing this is an all day party, right? :)
added on the 2011-07-27 05:35:37 by imerso imerso
imerso: Maybe the party will run in saturday and sunday, like most of them.

Get worried with the Christmas too, it will steal our men.

You mean getting trashed on new year's eve while being on a party?
sounds great, not sure what our families might say tho.
However considering they already put up with the idea missing us at eastern... :)

I'm not loving the New Year's idea because airfare is more likely to be ruinous. I'd rather take time off work and be able to afford airfare. Especially because we want to go to Revision this year too . . . : (

*bambi eyes*
We are almost changing it to January for several reasons. :T

FooLman: Something like that lol
