2 Alternative Party	May 26th, 2000
2 Alternative Party ... Computer Party ... or something This is a supremely official advertisement about the rebel of all computer parties, the 2 Alternative Party. Are you tired of the boring conformists who spend all their precious youth at mindbogglingly mainstream computing events? Events which don't even deserve to use the term "party"? Events where machines with personality are oppressed beyond all recognition and without glory? The 2 Alternative Party is a venemous strike against the majority. Where devoted users can take part, whether they own a Spectrum, MSX, Altair, Cray or any other weird and wonderful combination of chips. Nothing about the party is normal. Nothing would be shown on Top of the Pops. It wouldn't even be allowed to appear on Fashion TV during an advertisement break as a tiny subliminal message with the picture distorted. Unique competitions will be organized, including: ST-01 Music Competition, Obscure Music Competition, Source Code Graphics Competition, Obscure Machine Competition and the highlight of the party: the all-machine Demo Competition. If you feel different -- special even -- mark the dates 7th July to 9th July into your calendar brain implant. Then add a note to be in Helsinki, Finland at that time and finally burn the text "2 Alternative Party" into your neural pathways with big, friendly, pink letters. For more information:
