White Space (El Blanco's Archive):Room 303 - NAID '96

<--



     One of the defining moments for me as a scener was when I attended
NAID '96 in Montreal Canada at the College Edouard Montpetit in
Longueuil. Outside of local scene functions held in Kneebiter's
basement, I had never had the opportunity to attend a major party. The
demoscene was still growing in the Americas and would likely never
reach the size of the Northern European scene. So NAID was an
opportunity I couldn't pass up. After dredging the internet a bit I
found all the material from my time there that I could get my hands on.
There are still plenty of places on the internet with better
information on that party than what I'm presenting here. I only wish to
archive and show my time at that greatest of all North American
demoparties so far. The entries are listed here exactly as I entered
them so no fancy info pages.
