I know, I know, that information package has been announced to become released five weeks earlier, but you know, there's been that time-wormhole thingie, and suddenly it's been the beginning of June. Well, last BnZli has been quite successful, there were many people attending the event, the mood among those people was great, many competitions with many contributions have been hold and somehow that Swiss scene meeting even gained some attention from abroad! So it's high time to come up with another BnZli, another of these brain-blowing eternal-sick parties where the ugliest sceners from Switzerland tend to meet. Har, and what can you expect BnZli #5 to be like? There will be tons of ecstatic teenagers screaming when spotting you, a public whispering respectfully your name during the competition, great prizes as free weekends in New York (do we? oh, wrong file), service men polishing your shoes in the bistro and tech assistants checking up all your whole bunch of hardware palette! As some of you might not have been to BnZli that far (really?), let me explain to you what we imagine you to expect from that party and what our aims are: For you, it's a great opportunity to get in touch with the Swiss sceners, those people being addicted to computers and spending almost (?) every free minute getting toasted by their monitor. Further, BnZli's a very good occasion to present your work to other sceners, to those who know (hehe, do they?) how difficult it is to do something and most probably will appreciate it. And of course, it's a nice place to meet, to talk and to have fun! That's about what you may find at BnZli #5; and as our aim just is to provide an unique and friendly mood and to bring the scene together, you don't have to fear advertising campaigns or anything comparable from our side, so it's pure fun from our side, too!
