Demoscene through time and space...
PixelShow will take place between 11 and 13 of May,2007 at the theater of Patra's University campus.It's exactly the same place where Escape Lan Party, the last PixelShow 2005, ReAct and Gardening 96/97 took place in the past.
What to expect

Many great compos, demo, music, graphics, wild (check the relevant section for details and rules) as well as fun outdoors events!
What to bring
survival guide
Bring your equipment! A demoparty is not a demoparty without a computer! So don't forget to bring your computer, power extension cords, and anything else you may need
Your Ethernet cable or else you will have to make one at the party. If you a own a switch or a hub , it would be a good idea to bring it with you. (it would be a much better one though to notify one of the organizers if you intend so)
Also, don't forget your personal headset as we won't permit personal mini hi-fi's or speakers that require external power.
Unfortunately the all-time classic feature of this partyplace, the stack of matresses for sleep, are gone. So bring a sleeping bag, or anything that will accomodate your sleeping needs during the party (cars are a popular choice as well).
power consumption
Can I bring my 12KW dildo?! can I?
A general rule what will apply for everyone is to minimize the power usage.
If you have to choose whether to bring your 19'' CRT or your 17'' LCD prefer the LCD one.
And please fully charge your cell phones one day before you come. Every
watt will be crucial at the party.
(yeah, we are THAT desperate :) )
Thank you for your understanding.
How to reach the partyplace
I wanna be a pirate!
Planning your travelling? Here's how you'll find us. You can always ask questions too.
From the City of Patras...
In case you are already in Patras, you can get to the partyplace by using local buses or a taxi. If you want to take a bus you should do so by waiting for Bus No 6 in one of Korinthou Avenue's many bus stops. Buses operate all day except from 10:30 pm to 6:00 am.
From other cities...
You can reach Patras by using either train (www.ose.gr) or bus ( www.ktel.org).
In case you are using a car you should follow the exit lane to
your right hand, immediately after the toll station.You will be
able to see the signs "Agios Vassilios", "Rio" and "Hospital".
After 300 meters the road splits, so follow the left lane that
passes right bellow the bridge, and after 500 meters you will see
the University Hospital. This is where the University area begins.
The Campus is in the eastern part of the University area.
