Say some words about yourself: handle, groups

Hi, i’m Tobi. Most people in the demoscene know me as xxx of haujobb. 

When and where was the first Evoke you visited?

My memory is a bit hazy around that fact but with the help of slengpung.com i am confident to say that i visited Evoke in 1998 for the first time.

When did you join the organizing team?

I joined the organizing team in 2002.

What made you join the organizing team?

Evoke has always been a very important party for me. That important that i secretly made an invitation for Evoke together with Dreamer and Chromag. When Poti announced that Evoke 2000 might have been the last Evoke because he was moving to cologne i got in touch with him. I was also on about to move to cologne so i offered my help to organize another Evoke. The 2002 Evoke in Cologne was the first Evoke that i helped to organize.

What is your job inside the organizing team?

One could say it’s mostly sponsoring but there is countless other small duties that i have.

Which compo do you enjoy watching the most?

That always depends on the releases but the ANSI/ASCII compo had quite a fulminant comeback a few years ago. So right now it’s the compo that i am most looking forward to.

Is there a demo/intro/... released at Evoke you love the most?

There are so many great demos that have been released at Evoke. But i am always looking forward to what Pixtur and the guys release (under whatever name), i love to see the marvelous animations by Gaspode, i am always laughing tears whenever there is a silly JCO release, i am always amazed when something gets made on an old or exotic hardware like Bauchknechts Plus4 demo, Titan’s Overdrive or Haujobb’s demo made on an ATM. But if i have to name to i would go for these two from the early days :

What would be the photo to describe Evoke for you?

Maybe one from the early Evoke’s in Langerwehe. From those Evoke’s that made me fall in love with Evoke as a visitor and that made me ultimately join the organizing team.

Do you have a favourite shirt from Evoke?

The 2012 one with the sphere or planet or moon. 

What would be your most memorable moment at Evoke?

It was in the morning of the second day of the first Evoke that ever took place in the Abenteuerhallen. We didn’t really prepared for a sleepinghall and everyone just went to crash in the next door skating hall. I just confessed to the people that run both halls that we might have a problem with Evoke visitors sleeping in the halfpipes. I was surprised when the guy in charge of Abenteuerhallen was totally chill and relaxed about it. We had different experiences from the locations before. The great relationship with everyone who works at the Abenteurhallen is something that still amazes me today. 

Besides Evoke, what is your next favorite demoparty?

Of the parties that are no more it’s LTP in Paris. Of todays parties i like Revision the most for being the biggest and best and most friendly demoparty with the most awesome releases. But second to that is Outline. Is there any other demoparty that is so chill and so much fun? I doubt it.

Three words that decribe Evoke best?
