NAID '95 pics taken by Maelcum/Kosmic. These are worthy of extended captions. - Phoenix alex.jpg "Who's this guy in the Kosmic room?" "Oh, his name is Alex I think." "What's his nick?" "Uhh.. Chromatic Dragon or something" "Lame." "Yeah, he keeps talking about wanting to make game music someday, like this game Epic wants to do called Unreal." "You mean like Unreal the demo?" "Yeah.. silly, isn't it?" asleep.jpg An anonymous sleeping person. baseccc.jpg Basehead gathers the chutzpah to give CCCatch rabbit ears in a photo. baseccc2.jpg Basehead tracks while CCCatch chills in the background. bb1.jpg The Kosmic/Ren room chalkboard, soon after they arrived Friday night. The pic is by _Mosaic_! bb2.jpg A little more gets added to the chalkboard. bigscren.jpg The big screen. bill_of3.jpg Moby Disk/Threesome, the "driver" of the group. bluangel.jpg Blue Angel Dream, a Quebec City scener. brett.jpg GD: "What, I'm smiling!" brett2.jpg GD: goatee power. bret_guy.jpg GD tracks next to Soundwave (I think?) camcordr.jpg A camera and a camcorder face off. cccdared.jpg CCCatch does yoga while Daredevil does the Dew. ccc_blur.jpg CCCatch demonstrates his own realtime motion blur. chairs.jpg People seated for a compo: Sentience in the middle, DDD and Renaissance to the right. comfy.jpg A vigilant sleeper (could be LikuidK :) dsd&bal.jpg Doomsday/? and Balrog/Kosmic. flip_off.jpg I don't think Kenny wants his picture taken anymore. flosses.jpg A clash of two Mental Floss's, both in Kosmic of course. flosszzz.jpg Floss is dreaming of baygle-dawgs. friartuc.jpg Friar Tuck/iCE lets out a bellowing tenor sonata, then becomes inspired and codes Pisstro with Daredevil. geekfest.jpg Hey, it's the INTERNET! ior.jpg IOR, one of the few NAIDers who had ever been to a demoparty before. k8to.jpg Josh Rodman, who was dubbed "k8to" by Maelcum when they met. Now you see why? :) k8to2.jpg K8to: "Man, I gotta get rid of this hair!" kfmf.jpg "KFMF": the Flight demo debuts on the big screen. kfmfroom.jpg A peek into the elite Kosmic/Ren classroom. kosmic1.jpg Kosmic & friends: Moby Disk, Lethal, Basehead, Mental Floss, ?, ?, Balrog, K8to; in back: Floss, Jensi, ?. kosmic2.jpg Kosmic & friends: Moby Disk, CCCatch, Mosaic, Floss, Mental Floss, Diablo, Phoenix, Krystall, Balrog; in back: Basehead, Maelcum, K8to. kosmic3.jpg Kosmic & friends: Moby Disk, Basehead, Mental Floss, Balrog, ?, Jensi, ?, K8to; in back: CCCatch, Mosaic, umm.. Floss? :), Lethal, ?. (maybe Necros and Daredevil were getting drunk while these pics were shot) kos_sign.jpg The sign pointing to the NAID '95 party zone: the Kosmic/Renaissance classroom - in the left corner: "if this ????'s a-rockin, don't come a-knockin". kryst&jd.jpg Quebec City sceners: Krystall/Kosmic, Jaydee/Astek, & ?. BTW, Jaydee said very little to me, but he pressed his index finger on my shoulder and seemed proud to have touched me. I then for the first time developed an ego. :) likuidk1.jpg Likuid Krystal/Psychic Monks. likuidk2.jpg Likuid Krystal - I've seen a pic of Raven/TPOLM with the exact same face, uncanny. :) maelblur.jpg Maelcum gives motion blur a try. maelcum.jpg Maelcum: "I wonder if this picture will come out?" maelgrin.jpg Maelcum lets one of the sleepers take a picture of him. mainare1.jpg People around the main area, probably waiting to use the INTERNET. mainare2.jpg A half-full view of the main area. Isn't that GD back there? (and me to his right??) mazurka.jpg Mazurka attempts to even the ratio. Bottom: Dynamic Harmony, Mayhem; above: Enigma, b0b, b0b's sister, ? (maybe Digital Shock), The Earth Gazer, and his girlfriend probably. Note the signed t-shirts; this was a common thing among NAID '95 as well as '96. mazurka2.jpg Mazurka, the same lineup again.

Was there too much flash or were we really that pale? :) phoenix.jpg Phoenix: "Fine, here's your smile, now come closer so I can hit you." pmftired.jpg Mental Floss attempts a sexy look, while Phoenix and the other guy try to avert their eyes. BTW, like the wrist bands (aka "hospital tags")? sillysno.jpg Snowman does his Ernest impression: "Ey Vern, I don't think people are using the showers around here. Eeyeeaaaooohh!" stndguys.jpg Phoenix, Lethal, Laserlore, Basehead, & Trixter. Practically none of us in the Kos/Ren room knew who Laserlore/Anasthasia was when he came in, but he entered a pretty good tune. theshirt.jpg Bill's wonderful I-am-not-an-atomic-FC-fan-tshirt. thwack.jpg The filename Trixter gave this pic says enough. :) tirdguys.jpg Trixter, Snowman, Floss, & Jaydee try staying up into the wee morning hours (see no_sleep.jpg for results). trixnose.jpg I wonder why Jim added "nose" to this pic's filename? I guess only he NO-- er nevermind. "Hmm, I wonder if I mapped some video from The Grind onto some cubes.. naah, silly idea." trix_can.jpg Trixter: "why, this Pepsi will keep me awake!" (see no_sleep.jpg for results) tvcorner.jpg A _wall_! And the TV above it which we tried hacking into to get it working. :) (in '96 they showed demos and stuff on them in the classrooms, which was neat). veritech.jpg Veritech Knight, one of the NAID organizers, sporting some very unorganizer-like flannel. vote4us.jpg "Vote for our demo or we will crush your head!": Flight on the big screen. (and we still didn't get Public Choice)
