Big Floppy People 2007
Party

WHAT?: Triad, Judas, Hack&Trade; & Laxity invite you, weirdo with old computer, to the second BFP Data-Party in Helltown! WHEN?: Friday July 27 (12.00) - Sunday July 29 (12.00) WHERE?: Helsingborgs Mjölkcentral, Mejerigatan 0 (yes, zero), Helsingborg, Sweden. INVITRO: Get the c64 invitro here! WHY?: Because we like to gather sweaty datanerds, sleep on cold concrete floors, gaze at big pixels and fill our ears with lots of squelchy analogue sid-sounds, because.. well, we dont need to tell you this. You know the shit. We set it up, but YOU make it happen. PARTYPLACE: The old milkfactory proved to be a good venue for databoys, so we've booked it again. Before BFP2006 we asked ourselves, "is this place too rough?" but within less than a cpu cycle we remembered that our guests are simply the toughest of data people and will get to grips with any situation, and so you did. Since the raw year of 2006 the rooms have now been partly rebuilt and shaped up into something which rather looks like a underground nightclub or a small concert venue. New luxury features are two toilets directly connected to the data room and a superb air vent system to take away the most horrifying farts. HOW TO FIND?: Check map here. (Big house in the middle.) If you arrive by train-ferry-bus-plane-wheelchair you will most certainly end up at the Helsingborg Central Station "KnutPunkten". From there we recommend a taxi up to the Milkfactory (10 minutes for about 100 SEK) or CityBus #3 (going towards Västergård), jumping off at the busstop called "Mejerigatan". COMPOS: In classic LCP/Floppy fashion MC Frasse vs S.A.M and super demo DJ's Taper & Vinzi take you trough the compos in a wunderbar mix of kaos und ordnung. Last time three diskdrives gave up on us during the show. The compos are as follows: c64 Demo/Music/Graphics, Amiga, Atari, Gameboy, Spectrum, basically any vintage format you can come up with. We totally refuse to take compo entries from people not present at the party. The most divine form of compo participation karma can only be achieved by physical presence among the party monkeys, so you better be there! (This year we'll make sure to get hold of a better bigscreen projector than the funky one used at BFP2006.) FOOD & DRINK: Like last year, we will have a BFP Foodmap ready so you can go food hunting in the surrounding area yourself. Within a 1km distance you will find a supermarket, burgergrill, Pizzerias, 24h Mcdonalds, 24h Petrolstations, and more. And if you are awake saturday morning you will be served a simple free breakfast. ENTRANCE FEE: Only 100 SEK. (~10euro) RULES: Smoking is outdoors. COMFORT FACTOR?: Big Floppy People does not pretend to be a healthy event. In fact, concrete floors and no showers will surely transform you into a woked zombie within 48h. Chances are high that you will eat unhealthy food, drink unhealthy beverages, sleep in the most unlikely places and maybe wake up with a floppydisk glued to your forehead not knowing where the hell you are, but, and this is the real butt, YOU have chosen to live the data wildlife, and so have we. Peas on earth.
