AMIGA SUMMIT '91 - MEMORY LANE #1. February 19th 2008. #
My parents are moving from my childhood home. There is no postponing it any longer: I need to clean out the last of my stuff. You know, the stuff that is somehow allowed to lurk in the back of bottom drawers and in the darkest corners of old closets. Since moving everything to my own house and storing it here for another 30 years is not an option, my strategy for dealing with this is (of course) photograph and throw away.
I've decided to post a series of these "Memory Lane" photos here - I'm betting that at least one or two of the photos I've planned will take you back to days forgotten.
This first shot is an image of a cap from an event I helped organize: The Static Bytes and Prologic Amiga Summit of 1991. Actually when I think of it I didn't really organize all that much. but I did participate. And I did wear one of these beauties.
Those not in the know may refer to this and related articles. For those who want more of this kind of nostalgia can check out Scene.org and if you're so inclined yo may even download a slideshow with photos from Amiga Summit '91 (thank God it's in some long forgotten Amiga format, so no-one will be able to se these pictures) or the winning demo and other demo-releases from the event.

- Uh, what a flash back! All though I didn't participate in events like this, I did sit at home playing with deluxe paint, the extra disk drive for the 12 disks for Secret of the Monkey Island and the like.
Good Idea to take pictures and then get rid of the stuff. I have a similar exercise comming up some time during 2008. I think this might be a good way to handle the tons of stuff i have stored at my parents house.
