Day two

The first TG night is over, and after a great opening of this years TG we are now heading for day two.

It's a lot of things on the agenda today, and we'll reconmend you to check out the schedule. The first thing that happens today will be a team leader meeting in the Auditorium.

Have a great day. There will be more updates during the day

The lights are off

It's the same every year. It's amazing to see how Vikingskipet looks with no lighting in the ceiling and only a colourful radiance from the computer monitors and randomly placed, blinking LEDs. It's a great feeling.

There was a big applause when the lights were turned off

We are looking forward to a great opening show 9:00 pm on the stage. It will be great musicians, and we hope that most of the participants will come over to the stage and take a look. We will of course serve those of you who are not participating pictures from the opening show.

The First Participant

Heroic effort and great suffering made Tor Arne Larsen worthy of the title This Years First Participant. After only 90 minutes of waiting for his part, the doors opened and TG had thus begun.

Grand Opening

Wow! The queue was enormous, and the participants were excited. Everyone was looking forward to enter Vikingskipet and The Gathering 2006 - The Dark side of Pluto.

There were gamers, demosceners, casemodders and other computer interested boys and girls. When they entered Vikingskipet, they could hear loud popcorn music and "rosa helikopter", just to remind them that TG has once again commenced :-)

Pictures will appear

Goodie bags packing are finished

After some time, the goodie bags are now finished. We hope you enjoy this years goodie bag content, and that you will wear the t-shirt.

Remember to not use it all 4 days... It will smell.

Early arrivers

It's 6:00 pm, and in the parking lot there is already a group of people who are planning to sleep over in a caravan. They started earlier today from Drammen, and are really looking forward to this years gathering. They are here to play CounterStrike this year. 4 boys and one girl.

They also brought their own aggregate so that they can have electricity all night long.

One father was the 'lucky' one who was allowed to drive them to Hamar, to later tonight return back to Drammen.

Sleeping tent

Just like last year we are proud to tell you that we will have a sleeping tent outside Vikingskipet. The tent is beeing bulidt as we speak, and we'll welcome all of you who want to sleep in a quiet, heated 320 m2, tent.

TG Crew meeting

As usual, the day before TG, there is a lot of activity in Vikingskipet. The different crews are doing different tasks, and the sponsors are creating their stands. The crew organizers just arranged a meeting for all crew members, where they presented the new crew members and handed information about what they are doing during this years gathering. So now the crew is ready to work to get The Gathering 2006 ready for the grand opening tomorrow.

Good Morning

It's tuesday morning. It's 8:00 am. It's a new pre-TG day.

Early morning. Most of the crew members are still sleeping. They are soon gonna wake up and start working on the "last day preperations". It's still a lot to be done.

Today is the official "crew show up day". This means that all the crew members that didn't have a valid reason to arrive Vikingskipet earlier, soon are gonna arrive Vikingskipet. Some of the crew members are here for their first time as a crew, and are really excited to see what The Gathering will bring this year. And of course some of the crew members are more experienced, but they are still also really excited to see how The Gathering will be this year.

During the night, there has been little activity in Vikingskipet, but a couple of the stands have been built. The chill out zone, the hyperion stand and the stand from HiFi-Klubben, are all nice stands, and the people working with them have done a great job to make them fancy and attractive. Now we're looking forward to the rest of the preperations, and we'll of course keep you continuously updated to give you the latest news from Vikingskipet.

Event:Game - This will be a great party

Event:Game chief, meJ, is telling us that TGs Game Crew has arrived and are now ready to start building the game computers in the morning. We will receive the computer specs tomorrow.

MeJ will use his opportunity to promise all the gamers a great party with a lot of great gaming compos. "We will do our best to make this party a happening to remember. In a good way of course."

Pictures from the gaming area will appear in this blog in the morning

Event:Vision - The PA system has arrived

Earlier this evening this years PA system arrived Vikingskipet, and we are proud to serve you a great system this year. With a total of thirty 18"-sub, 20 tops and with a gigantic light system, there will be a great atmosphere on the stage.

Welcome
