Between the lines, small tidbits of text is collected. These are personal messages and may give a clue about the organizers. If you understand the way the organizers are thinking, then you pretty much understand the design of the demo party. It's all there, just like what you have in your bathroom tells what kind of person you are. The party info between the lines with some examples from parties in Poland, Hungary and Norway.

When I saw those rules, I snirkled the smile.

RETROnizacja 2018 (Poland) gives some memories...
"First edition of multiplatform party for people interested in old computers, entry 30 PLN, girls and children free entry, alcohol allowed."

Just love this! You don't see that kind of news every day, but that they still exist is just awesome!

QB Party 2018 (Hungary) shows a vivid FAQ...
A stretched frequently asked questions with small and big issues for the Universe is shown here. My favorites are:

Will you have something for my headache?
* Yes, ask the infodesk.

Can I dance?
* Yes, until you are boo-ed off the dancefloor

Is it awkward if I come with my travel bag?
* Nope

Is this a LAN party?
* No, it's not.

- and the thing so I actually learned something today:

What does "QB" stand for?
* The name is just a joke on words, QB->sounds similar to CUBE (it's the English translation of the word "kocka", the way nerds are called in Hungary)


Solskogen 2018 (Norway) execute law with their own hands...
Some parties have rules which I could not imagine the consequences of breaking, but the law is executed with own hands. And you need connections to a huge demo scene lawyer not to end up with messing with these guys..

First I guess I need to end with my own boob pictures (or is that pornographic? Huh, don't know, in my opinion, my pictures are pure erotic, but that's another story). Hmm, anyway, this rule is so lovely and maybe one of the toughest banned stories ever in the scene history!?

Don’t use YouTube ContentID after the party! This enables monetization of our party coverage videos which leads to ads being forced on people, which sucks. If you do this, we reserve the right to disallow you from entering future compos, because it’s such a dick move.

At Solskogen, you can see the expericence shining through of organizing parties before. Also, modern adjustments of party rules, like this one snapped from general compo rules:

"Nor do we accept contributions that look 99% like something released by you or your group already. There is remixing, and then there is downright lazy."

- and at the footer, Commodory flirt with integrity: GDPR SEES ALL! C=


TRSAC 2017 (Denmark) Devil's got passion...
My guess would be that one of the orgas is chanting, not to the left-right in the Yoga/Bicram/Feng Shui-field, but rather down, down, down to hell. Poems and Gothic is emotion and passion, or how could this little flower else survive on hottest place below the crust:

Therefore,
Their sons grow suicidally beautiful
At the beginning of October,
And gallop terribly against each others bodies.
