 No, I trying very hard to grok this. Is this in
the United States?  
 I don't know, but I haven't seen any USA demos. You'll have to ask someone
 from the NTSC world.

 What part of the country? It doesn't happen
around here (Louisville,
KY metro area), I'd have heard of it. Given the Internet, I suppose
my world shouldn't be limited to a 150-mile radius, but in a way, it
is.  
 There are parties in all of Scandinavia each year, as well as Poland and
 France. Don't know about the scene beyond there. 
Ok... what was throwing me for a loop here, was that you seemed surprised
that I was unaware of them, but they turn out to be something we don't
have around here, so my absence of familiarity shouldn't be such a
surprise...
