Most probably involve witnessing the antics of astu & co. E.g. the first time I saw astu at Lobotomia 2002 his legs were bloody from the knees down. At Simulaatio 2 I and some other people taped him to a chair. At Stream 2003(?) I vaguely recall iSO doing a wild demo where they bought expired tripe meant for pet food (or something), ate it and threw it up. Or something. At Altstork 2004 there was the real-life wild entry involving people pouring yoghurt and molasses on Paavi.

One Altzone (mini party by Altparty) was held at Helsinki Art hall, a fancy museum of modern art, where people got very drunk at the Alt corner. I don't think it was allowed, but no one had explicitly forbidden it. Astu or Paavi passed out in the middle of the exhibition area and Japanese tourists thought it was performance art and snapped photos.

At last Boozembly I wondered why a friend was acting really hyper and all over the place, much more than his usual ADHD self. It later turned out he had dropped E.

Not wild as such, but the three demoparties I went during the first quarter of 2013, Altparty, Simulaatio and Breakpoint, were just super cold. You'd be sitting inside with your winter coat on and still freezing. I actually got some kind of frostbite at Breakpoint, which I had no idea could happen at temperatures above zero Celsius.

ok this is pure gold

Haha, where are the photos? ;)

There's lot of "wilder" ones, but i remember with smile buying yeast (when thinking it was butter) from small Bingen grocery shop and then trying it on bread in hotelroom.

For some reason nothing really wild or weird has happened to me at a demoparty, though not for lack of trying.

At Datastorm some year I was shitfaced as usual, and was talking to Frost who'd gotten tired of the whole thing and went to bed (sleeping bag under the table). Before I left him he offered me a taste of his beer though. "Drink this. This is how life tastes." If you know Frost you know he was drinking Arboga 10,2%, which is possibly the vilest "beer" ever made. After one sip I ran to the toilets and vomited aggressively. When I was done puking I got out, and found a full, opened bottle of Corona with a slice of lime in it waiting for me on the sink. I guess someone had left it there while having a whizz, but at that point being really drunk I just took it as a sign from the gods, picked it up, and it tasted amazing and kept me going for another couple of hours. Thanks, unknown involuntary beer donor!

At one of the Black Birdie parties - what battlefields they were! - an unnamed person from an unnamed Swedish group peed on the face of a sleeping unnamed person from another unnamed Swedish group. Not because of malice, but because he thought he was the toilet.

is dude #1 still alive?

Alive and active! Actually they were very good friends and I don't think much more came out of it, but it sure was weird.

Somehow felt normal for Black Birdie, though.

Thug life.

i vaguely remember some guy going around on a pre-2000 hungarian demoparty tagging on everyone's computer but i might be mistaken. can someone from HU confirm it?

Adding to the Hungarian-scene thread mentioned by nagz, I also was present (along with CiH) and I'm sure a large number of other sceners at Mekka Symposium 2k02. Yep, that infamous party - for a number of reasons. The time was during the wild compo, when an equally infamous entry that got shown and then disqualified; it was the entry from Crimson Jihad, which featured footage from the events of 9/11/2001 in NYC, appearing to also wish that Bill Gates, amongst others, should have perished that day. No wonder people in the hall were quite literally screaming to get the entry turned off - it was a bit * too * raw, given the timeframe (6 months or so since the events of that day).

We never heard anything of Crimson Jihad since then ... I do wonder why .....

Sundown 2006: Mark Shuttleworth (CEO of Ubuntu, first South African Cosmonaut, multie millionaire) takes dotwaffle up on his invite to come along. Talks about space, offered me a few Haribo Fangtastics.

Sundown 2007?: Sound system slowly gets quieter and quieter so I turn it up - the soul of a capacitor decides to free itself and flame out, prompting me to run outside with a flaming amplifier. We managed to watch the rest of the compos on a Logitech 5.1 £50 sound system!

Sundown 20xx: An excitable couple get walked in on backstage, but not by me. Of all places.

the drunk girl at evoke 2000...

the drugged(?) girl at evoke 2013(?)¹
___
¹ moving through the party hall like a zombie, ending up in a trash can and falling down one of those higher steps near the bar, ultimately urinating on the front lawn of the kinder garden next to the party hall. Ended up sleeping under a tree somewhere outside.²
² that's how I remember it

wat?

Also, at some revision some finnish or swedish guy slept in my sleeping bag and it took minutes of kicking and rolling him around on the ground in my sleeping bag to get him out there. Just before I was about to strip the bag off him, he got out. I was not worrying that he sleeps in my bag, but rather that he could be too drunk so he would pee or vomit in my sleeping bag and it would be unusabkle the next day.

Personal expieriences.

³ Sunday morning at around 9 or 10 am
⁴ She was barefoot
⁵ I might be mixing up two separate events to one hell of a mess

Dipswitch: You mean the one I had to chase over the parking lot into a small creek and drag her back to the hall while $certain_cologne_scener almost stole the ambulance car? Yeah, fun times.. :)

boy, im looking forward to revision =)

Did anyone mention the belt fights at Solskogen yet?

i don't think so..do tell

"while $certain_cologne_scener almost stole the ambulance car" :D
I do wish more Finnish oldskool would attend to this story telling, I can mostly tell some second hand stuff from those times.. like some guy ripping off a door from a gypsies car while waiting lights to turn green and so on..

@kb_, yeah, that one! she's the reason why we introduced those under-18 parental agreement forms on subsequent evokes...

but i had no idea about the attempted stealing of the ambulance car! :P

oh, and...

LIGTFORCE! (sic!)

who dares to tell the story? =)

(hint: mekka^symposium, drunk-dyslexic graffiti, knife, police)...
