More than 4000 visitors visited the event which lasted for four days this year. My ticket was for the 'VIP/Oldskool' area, where I spent most of my time between the competitions. I was also in this year`s music jury, among some other wellknown musicians like 'Skaven', and other demo-scene persons. Being in the music jury gave me a whole another conseption and view into things. At the same time it was extremely fun, but on the other hand a 7 hour job is something that would "drain" the juice out of each and every one of us. Jurying is not easy, and like most people who`ve never seen it from the inside, I also felt previous to my experience that jurying wasn`t fair and jury`s job somehow would favour some spesific music styles, but now that I`ve been there, I must say it has changed my thinking and opinions totally (for the better). The whole jury process was actually a very fun thing to go through even as it took 7 hours. The whole experience was more or less like a reunion of a small family. These guys really had a good sense of both taste and humour. Maybe we`ll have a 'real' reunion next year.
