Today I was able to get a discount for the password "ATARI". When making a reservation by e-mail, enter it in the body of the message, via phone just tell them that it's about "ATARI Event".

I am very pleased to announce that there's another concert planned to be held on the forthcoming SV2k17 edition! After gwEm's concert we will also welcome on the stage KK/Altair, who will be celebrating 40 years of the Atari 2600 with his 2 Atari VCS consoles connected to the mixer! You won't believe how the TIA can sound So get ready for 2 great concerts on 2 different Atari platforms!

Edit this: Wife said go for it, we may change trip dates. Ticket from AMS to event is only $140
Fingers crossed.

@Rustynutt: awesome! There is a regular direct bus (line 210) from the airport stopping very close to the party-place Coming to Silly Venture never wasn't easier than that! Please register here: http://www.sillyventure.eu/en/visitors

There is a lot of cool prizes for all people taking a part in competitions at SV2k17 and new ones arrive every week! Just like a brand new "SNES Classic Mini" console sponsored by Eagle, CT60e for Falcon sponsored by Willy or new XL/XE/ST/Falcon anti-dust covers and new edition of Atari XL/XE games on tapes sponsored by Retronics.

So, here it is! Another (already 5th!) invitro for the forthcoming Silly Venture atari-only party in Poland! This time for Atari XL/XE by "Desire" demo-team:
