Demoscene Summer Tour 2005 - The Epic Voyage

Rup and I we get the Epic Vehicle from the garage. It feels good, it handles like a dream - not really - and we are sure ready to continue our Epic Voyage. Before we go to Demozone, time to eat decent food. I'm the chosen one to prepare the Epic Meal, which consists of rice, vegetables, bacon, cream and cheese. Everyone eats until they're sick of it. Meanwhile, in the other side of the country, ps is having fun at Demozone, while sms'ing us every hour to ask about the car. We manage not to tell him what really happened until we get there, there's no need to worry him.

22:00 (T 2 days 15:30 D 2302 Km)

Arrival at Demozone! 303f is playing as we come in. What a kick ass concert!... Even though there was a PA outtage and the monitors were not working properly, they still managed to pull it off and entertain the few sceners that were enjoying their sound.
It's nice to be at a dutch demoscene party... The scene was kind of dead there since Takeover and it's pretty cool that someone tries to revive it. Too bad that it happens as I leave the country!
Ok, concert over, we do have to hurry if we want to get all the ferries we need to get.

That was some nice driving! I just drove over 500 Km, Rup was resting so he can drive in Denmark - and I can sleep. We are taking the ferry boat from Puttgarden to Rodby, and because we are crossing borders we can buy stuff tax free. Brainpower and I, we bought a 24 pack of Red Bull. It's preparation for the mega-super-ultra sleepless nights at Assembly.
The ferry only takes 45 minutes, just enough to stretch the legs and think about something else than keeping the speed of 110 km/h constant and the Epic Vehicle on the road.

16:00 (T 3 days 11:30 D 3764 Km)

We are in Stockholm! It rains cats and dogs, or at least is what it sounds like, because we can't see a damn thing! My friend Tobias, who picked us up by bike, is soaked wet from head to toes. We will take care of the Epic Vehicle while we are at Assembly. It's so VERY nice from him to look after it while we are getting wasted in the other side of the Baltic...
We make it on time (ALRIGHT!) for the 17:00 ferry boat to Helsinki, but unfortunately it's fully booked. We don't have any alternative besides waiting for the 20:15 boat to Turku, and from there take a train to Helsinki. We make the reservations and wait. The luxurious boat is waiting for us.
