Bare with us while we play with your nostalgia nerve for a little bit here: the very oldskool-platform-friendly Nordlicht party goes into its 13th installment this year - and while doing that, it also took the opportunity to revive an old Nordlicht tradition: changing the party place for reasons.
If you ever wondered what the Fried Bits / SILIConvention / Kindergeburtstag 2000 party place felt like and/or wanted to revisit that special venue spirit - Nordlicht has you covered this year.
The infamous swedish corner at one of the Fried Bits parties - don't ask, we won't tell.
The party known for having a very constant Atari scene attendance (as well as Atari XL/ST/Lynx/Jaguar productions that constantly have been released there over the years) now finally ended up where the whole Bremen demo party thing started in the first place: Bürgerzentrum Obervieland, home of so many Fried Bits and SILIconvention stories nobody dares to tell you.
Here's a quick list of motivational (also: non-paid, we do ads for free here!) sentences to join the party:
- If you are in the vicinity and/or want to meet some of the orga team members liable (well, "indirectly", our lawyers told us to tell you) for above mentioned stories, be there!
- The perfect place to dump your old Atari stuff you did and were/are to afraid to release - just enter the very handy gravedigger compo; and don't fret, people have seen worse in that compo, "someone" personally made sure of that.
- Visit the outskirts of Bremen!
- Train your "social skills" on C64 and Amiga people!
- BBQ!

Takes place July the 25th to 27th 2025! - [tbd]

It is stuck between Sommarhack and Sillyventure, so not the greatest timing, but may reward someone who can't get to either of the other two parties.
At the Easter Party the following year, we were warned in advance about German 'opening' hours.
One small supermarket in a small village near Hamburg, absolutely rammed full of demosceners on the Saturday morning.
