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.

Thanks to everyone who came and helped us out – it took many volunteers to make this successful. If you have any more post-party links, let us know! We will be conducting an @party survey soon, and gauging interest in an @party DVD which will help us balance our budget. Keep an eye on our official website: http://www.atparty-demoscene.net. We hope to do this again next year!
Midnight on the 7th — your @party registrations will need to have been made and remote entries will need to have been submitted to us via email at atparty dot demoscene09 at g mail dot com
News for folks with graphics entries: our projector will be an Epson 8100, 1920×1080 max res, 3 lcd, 1800 lumens.
We may have another musical guest or two not noted on the website joining us and will publicize this if so. As noted, there will be free dinner sponsored by Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab Saturday night and we are live streaming concerts and compos.
We thank all those who have already made their remote submissions or registrations. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
See you @ the party!
Time is counting down to America’s new summer demo party – start planning those competition entries! Added to the list of live performers is cTrix, all the way from Australia! He organizes Syntax Party down there and will join us for an hour-long set of kicking dance music with an Amiga 500 thrown in. How about a full, free dinner Saturday night? The Singapore-MIT GAMBIT Game Lab has generously sponsored an Italian dinner for all attendees. @party is warming up to the Boston IF scene with a new Interactive Fiction game compo – get ready for some creative writing! There will be an onsite contest to redesign the @party logo for next year, and some surprise outdoor compos.
Haven’t registered yet? All attendees must do so by June 7th at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/92611. If you’re staying overnight, beds will be available for everyone, but if you prefer a private room (2-3 beds) to a larger one, you had better act soon!
@party 2010 – June 18th-20th, Friendly Crossways, Harvard MA, USA. Visit http://www.atparty-demoscene.net for more info, compos, attendees, performances, site pics and more!
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.
If you’re interested in attending the new demoparty in Massachusetts this summer, go to www.atparty-demoscene.net to register! You can register with overnight beds or without (for locals staying at home), and pre-order a tshirt and help out with a sponsor pack (details to come later). Please remember that the “hostel room” assignment on the registration site is only for the bed, and “entry ticket” must still be selected.
The site for the first edition of @party (and more to come, if we’re lucky will be the Friendly Crossways hostel and retreat center in east-central Massachusetts. It’s a far cry from the hotels and business centers of most US conventions, with a cozy space for 40-80 visitors and all their eating, sleeping, and showering needs. Not to mention a big field outside to soak in the June weather. Here are some photos inside and out, so you can imagine how to fill it up with your hardware and creativity!

As always, the latest info is available at http://www.atparty-demoscene.net, and feedback is welcome. Online registration will be up soon.
We’re excited to announce another new US demoparty, this one a summer retreat coming next year. @party will be held in mid-June at a meeting hall & hostel in Harvard, Massachusetts (the town, not the university), about 30 miles northwest of Boston and a few hours from New York City and Montreal.
The official website is here. More info will surface in the next few months.
Also, be sure to fill out their survey, so they know what compos and activities people are interested in.
@party discussion is welcome in our forum.
