Melon Dezign - The Birthday Party

19-21.10 Melon Dezign - The Birthday Party.

Held at Himmeley/Herresklev Gymnasium in Roskilde, Denmark to celebrate Melon's second anniversary on the 20th of October. The party was characterized as a giant flop in Upstream #7, after only about 180 people showed up - compared to the expected 800... Melon had rented the school on a time basis, so in order to save money the party was closed prematurely. Also, all prize money for the competitions were withdrawn, and the winners of the compos won stuff like pizzas for their trouble... There were no party releases expect for the graphics and music from the competitions. One factor that might explain why the attendance at the party was as poor as it was, is the fact that it was not arranged on a weekend, but in the middle of the week. All the danish sceners had a fall vacation during these days, but many foreigners did not - and could consequently not attend. Drinking was allowed, but there was no bar. THe most positive thing at the party was probably an hour-long concert held on the second day by Melon's English musician TDK. Due to the lack of prizes, the party also suffered a lack of entries for their competitions. An intro, gfx and eventually music competition was held.
