-
- The Organizers of the FRIED BITS I-III,SILICONVENTION´94,BB SYMPOSIUM'96,
- YELLING JAM PARTY and INTERCON'96 Party bring you the biggest computer-
- party at easter 1997.
-
- The Siliconvention follows the very succesful Fried Bits partys that were
- held during the last years on the same time and location.
-
- All Systems are welcome! That means we have lots of Competitions for the
- following computers: ACORN, AMIGA, ATARI, C64, PC.
-
- The SILIconvention should be seen as an alternative to the usual style of
- taking parties.
-
- We are of the opinion that just renting a hall, putting a video-beamer and
- some music-boxes in it isn't enough, there should be something more about
- it.
-
- Therefore we decided to organize a party which offers what we missed
- elsewhere :
- Seperate competition-hall and sleeping rooms, showers, live acts, food and
- drink at reasonable prices.
- So you can enjoy the party even more, sleep when you want to, watch the
- competitions you would like to see, or stay at the party-area and
- enjoy the great spirit of the demo-scene.
-
- We think that having fun is much more important than stupid warfares
- between groups, systems, parties, people ...
- We don't like the arrogant attitude some groups and organizers of other
- parties exhibit towards other people, groups, systems, ...
-
- So our party will differ in that !
-
-
- There are some rumours about the SILIconvention being a "commercial" party,
- this is not the case. Of course we have sponsors (all other partys we know
- of have sponsors) without them it wouldn't be possible to keep the
- entrance-fee as low as possible and have nice competition-prizes as well.
-
- But there will be NO sales on the SILIconvention !
- It is not a sales exhibition but a demo-party where people from all systems
- have fun together.
-
- All of our sponsors are only providing equipment for the party, or prizes
- for the competitions. So we have excellent prizes, see list below.
- Our prizes will fit the competitions, so there won't be any PC-group
- winning an amiga tubo-card and no Amiga-crew will win software for the PC.
- We have either prizes that fits the system, or things everyone
- can use (for example video-consoles).
-
-
- Some people wonder why they haven't heard of the main-organizers, the reason
- for this is that we come from the the Atari-Falcon and Acorn scene , if you
- are involved in one of these scenes you know us , otherwise you probably
- don't.
- But we are not unexperienced in organizing parties, the list at the top is
- not exaggerated, we organized many parties and took part in much more,
- so we know what we are doing.
-
- And we have well known organizers from all systems, so you can be sure
- every system will come to it's right.
-
-
-
-
- So you can see, we are keeping the promises other parties made !
