@party Minidemo Deux a success!

So the second Montréal party went well. We had eight entries.
Among the attendees at the demoshow were two organizers of NAID, Mr Khan and Med! Pictures and prods (well, one is posted) to come soon.
Thank you to all who attended and submitted, thanks to RPM, who rented us space, and René Walling, who 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.

Thanks to PsychNerd of SceneSat for covering us! You can hear their coverage on their website! http://scenesat.com/relive

New competition for Montréal party Nouvelle compétition pour la party à Montréal

Think of a name for the party and design us a logo!
It should be thematically appropriate and reproducible in black and
white (although you can use color in your entry). Otherwise, go nuts.

Pense à un nom pour la party et dessine-nous un logo!
Seules contraintes: le nom devrait être approprié et avoir une version reproductible en noir et blanc. Pour le reste, soyez fou.

Onsite attendees only.

(That makes two compos — the other one is the fast democompo which we also had last year)

Montréal Party, Part Deux

Our second Montréal party will be next weekend. It sold out rather quickly.

We want to do this again; ought to come up with a name. ( :

PsychNerD of SceneSat will be broadcasting from the party.

Our first was same time last year at Foulab, a Montréal hackerspace. Michel Gallant was an invaluable support, and we hope to see him next weekend, among other awesome individuals we know in Montréal (e.g. a certain fellow we know with a folding chopperbike (: ).

Metoikos and Dr Claw thank Peter Taylor, René Walling, Barzoule, Alex Ruaux, and Alistair Croll for their assistance in helping this happen, and Ziphoid for getting SceneSat coverage.
