Underground Conference 8 - June 15th to 18th 2017
category: parties [glöplog]
After not having organized a demo party in 7 years, it was about time to change that again. And as people have bugged me for 10 years to finally do it again, it's going to be Underground Conference.
In case you are young/lame/dead, what is Underground Conference? It's the one and only HARDCORE elite-only lamer-free demo party. For over 20 years, UC has always brought innovation and new concepts to the scene. It has converted kids to men.
UC8 is not going to be a "oh, the good old days when I was still active" kind of retro bullshit. If you don't bring a big tower, you won't get in, if you don't bring a release, you won't get in. We don't want any lame party animals.
We'll have the best location, most weirdest competitions ever, and every single aspect of the party is going to be taken to an extremely silly maximum. Most underground location, biggest bonfire, worst hangover - we've got it all.
Please note that Underground Conference is an outside event that involves camping. Yes, people will die due to the Sceners-vs-Nature situation, but that's party of the concept. It might be cold. It might rain. You might be eaten by a bear. The drugs in your blood streams will make sure you won't care.
The party will be invitation only. You will have the chance for applying for a ticket. If you have had a demo scene release within the last 24 months and/or plan to compete in one of the compos changes are good you'll be able to get access to the most important ticket of your life. Don't worry, we got some huge amount of alternative compos that allow you to participate even if you aren't too good in traditional demoparty compos.
Taking things to a maximum requires us to be able to fully trust all participants. If you have ever ended up on a "zero tolerance" list or caused trouble at a party or are unable to adapt your alcohol/drug consumption in a way so that it is not hurting anyone, this party is not for you. This is also the case as the party location will indeed offer various ways to potentially kill yourself. If we don't know you, you will be vetted in this regard, and a senior scener might have to guarantee for you.
Just as previous editions, you can be sure that this party will be still talked about in 10 years from now. If you have not been to previous Underground Conferences (for example because you weren't yet born then - shame on you!), this is your once-in-a-lifetime chance to find out what this thing mom and dad are talking about all the time is.
If you believe you might be worthy enough to take part in this, please mark your calendar: June 15 - 18 2017. Note: This is a FOUR day event, starting on a Thursday. In catholic countries, Thursday might be some happy-Jesus-holiday.
We don't have a website yet, the invitation is not done, and we are not yet ready to share details, but we want you to able to file for vacation in time, so that's why we are sharing limited info for now.
Mark the date, everything else can come later.

Yeah!
(Even found my old rule-card within 2 minutes... ;-)

Yes, and I found the 20 year old serial port chip card readers and my old source code. Stuff appears to work, so all old Rule-Cards will still be valid and can be re-used :)
yay death by mosquitos \o/
UC808: Bass Drum gegen Natur.
i still have my rulecard from 2002(?) =)
Rule - the most stable currency in the world. No loss in value in 20 years!
that means people who charged their rule-cards with good old dmark have now doubled its value? ;p
Aww yiss.
Uuuuh! One of the parties I always wanted to visit, but never came around to do.
Same here - probably because I'm too fucking young :D
woa it actually happens? <3
wysiwtf:
No, the original conversion rate was
1 Deutsche Mark = 303 RULE
Once the Euro got introduced this was changed to
0.50 Euro = 303 RULE
So, a beer that costs 909 RULE amounts to 1.50 Euro.
Given the inflation that other competing currencies have seen during the last 10 years, compared to those however the value of any RULE kept from previous Underground Conference editions has been rising indeed.

Can I enter the same entry twice? I'd like to do a multichannel happy hardcore song with live signing and live ukulele.
singing*. i'd sign live, too, but need both hands for the ukulele.
Sure, why not. I really look forward to live ukulele to a HH song :)
Nice, If I didn't had a gig with this set: https://youtu.be/n4QikNie4sA I might have come.
Greatest and most insane location ever will be revealed in the PC Demo compo tomorrow.
I still think the logo looks like moldy steak.
