Assembly Blog

Oh yeah, here’s the link to all the pics I took: clickety click

=)

I’m late in posting this as Assembly ended for my part today. It was a a fun party again and things went a little bit smoothly than last year.

I hope that everyone and those who missed this years party will come next year. This is because it’s the 15th party and a milestone of the party! There are plans to do something big so don’t miss it!

See you in 2006!!!

My recommendation of the day: Don’t think about Assembly for the next 6 months. This is because otherwise you’ll go mad.

Festivål!

Ok it’s not morning anymore but I woke up like 4 hours ago so it’s still morning for me =)
I can’t believe it’s saturday and the party is almost over. Everything has gone so fast that and I’ve been much less stressed than last year. Oh crap I should start arranging the schedule about when to get the stuff we brought here back to their owners.
Oh and it seems the blog was down for a while. Luckily we got it back as it would’ve sucked if we lost all of the entries so far.

My recommendation of the day: Do not download illegal software or games when you’re in the line of fire of the cameras. Yep, we almost got one guy on live broadcast but he turned it off before our director could react. If we catch him doing it again then we’ll inform the proper crews about the situation (and show the world how we deal with those kinds of things).

So it’s friday evening and the party is starting to reach it’s middle phase. It’s starting to take it’s toll but it’s still fun.
What has surprised me is the amount of girls at the party. I think the amount of girl visitors is growing expotentially every year. I think it’s good as this will really spread the knowledge of this party and shatter the preconception that you can’t make friends from the computer hobby and don’t go outside of your room.
I also got a little change in my assigment. The floor manager of the Arena studio was FUBAR so I trained myself as a cameraman and now I’m happily doing some of the compo studios and the Assembly Update which airs every hour (almost) on the hour.

People think nerds and geeks are guys who are slim, wear boring clothes and of course have the strong glasses. It has been interesting to watch the visitors as I’ve not seen anyone who fits the stereotype. I have to admit that I’ve not been to the Arena level much but I’ve seen people in the hallways.
Today I went and took some random pictures of people who I encountered as I left Lapin Kulta. I tried to cover the whole range of people here but that would mean I would have to take over 4000 pictures =)

Visitors, visitors, visitor, tired Jani the team leader of the AssemblyTV Broadcasting Unit, tired Matias the leader of Hall AV, not so tired main organizer Pehu.

Anna-Stiina and Matthew, Me and Ville. Studio action =)

My recommendation of the day: Doing things as scheduled! We actually managed to air the final Assembly Update of the day right on the hour!
