The second 1-day demoparty in Montreal co-sponsored by @party was successful, attracting around 30 attendees, possibly the largest Montreal scene gathering since Coma 2001. Even NAID ’95-96 organizers Mr. Khan and MEd stopped by! Again there was a fast demo (multi-platform) compo, and here are the results (it’s a safe bet that there was a “potato” theme :

1. Poutine by Quebarium
2. Tubercule by Madbrain
2. Voxel patate frite by Joachim and Dr Dub
4. Fuck potatoes I like bananas by The Muffin Group
5. @patat by Unkelben
6. Aek un patate by Northern Dragons
6. Potatotopia by yesso
8. Potato flue by XyNo

Some releases can be found at http://pouet.net/party.php?which=1547&when=2011.

René Walling provided the prizes, a Nintendo 64 (which went to Québarium, the 1st place winners), a Sun Sparc (which went to Madbrain tied for 2nd place), and a variety of SCSI hard drives and CD-ROM drives, which went to other winners.

The first @party is over (one week ago, actually)! 44 people filled the quaint little hostel in eastern Mass., along with a bus full of Singapore-MIT students on Saturday night. All the compo prizes were handmade — trophies for the winners and cookies and fudge for 2nd and 3rd place. Remote entries were counted in votes but not eligible for prizes (sorry guys . There were four live music acts, a presentation on NES video effect mixing, and a screening of the Get Lamp documentary.

The @party organizers are excited to announce that the event schedule will include live music performances by Oxygenstar, Coda, and Animalstyle, and a live visual performance by NO CARRIER (more musicians may be added to this list soon). Check out the schedule page for additional information.

The registration deadline (for onsite attendees) AND submission deadline for remote compo entries is JUNE 7, 2010. They cannot make exceptions, as the venue needs to know the headcount for the event in advance. There will be NO registration at the door. Note for overnight guests, private rooms with 1-3 beds are going fast (dorm-style rooms with more beds will still be available). Room type requests cannot be confirmed they have your registration in hand.

To register, go to the registration information page or visit the Brown Paper Tickets page for the event. Discounts may be available for full-time students receiving need-based financial aid and folks living at or below the federal poverty line. The budget will be shared with attendees at the end of the event, following Notacon’s model.
