This year we will be able to give you the all-around multi-media demo-scene ex-perience. The nice folks of demoscene.tv will be around to show a full live broadcast of the party with some promised "surprises", and they teamed up with NetCologne to provide us with several hours of Evoke demoshow from past and present on NetColognes very own cable-TV station. So if you are in bed in your hotel and can't find sleep or happen to live around Cologne, turn on your TV sets. Check wether you can tune in to the "NetCologne InfoKanal". And watch some demos (from "the party that never sleeps") before then finally falling asleep.
