MAIN PArty is over
hello all MAIN is over until next year for the second version. Hey sceners, Thanks to all. Those who came and those who encourage us. Thank you for the advices and the criticisms, they help us to make better for the next version. To build a demoparty is not easy especially in France, but we took the risk of making it in a bizarre country with regard to the demoscene. If the Scandinavian or German example is to be followed we have to find our particular code with regard to "les francais". We found a beautiful room in a cool city, Marseille. We have of to convince quite a lot of "big crocodiles" for this. At the moment, we can begin to work on the version 2, not alone but together. I think it's the sense and the way of the demoscene. Thanks to all those who moved for the party. Cu next year
