Re: New theme for the B/W Balls?

I know I'm a little old for this sort of thing, but isn't that normally called a Rave?

Ha! ok fine.... so the LEDs have to say things then!

I like the discussion about themes!

Also I want to let everyone know that the B&W ball will be where it was last year, and instead of speaking during the day and B&W ball at night the space will remain a chill out area during the day with tables, wifi, food and drink, and the B&W ball stage set up.

A ball idea:
instead of a color... a theme could be "self powered glowy things". Like everyone has to have a glow stick or a LED on them of some kind and have the party in near blackness.

what our badges wont be powered this year ?!!
the idea of a blackout party sounds great . we can program the lighting to be as dark as possible and load up on UV lighting for ambient and every can wear the most uv reactive colored clothing they can put their hands on .

or we can have a defcon prom .
you know tacky outfits, mirror ball, streamers and " forever young" playing in the background .

i do agree that the name should be different. should it be a two itemed name black and white spy vs spy red vs blue?
or should we just give it a generic one word name ?


id like to officially have a name for the Chillout portion of the room .
what are some ideas you guys have . ?

Hallo from Deutschland! I loved bringing the EBM, Industrial, and Powernoise to the Black Ball. Whatever the theme, if I'm spinning, you can be sure to hear the stompy stomp!

Of all the contests, the one with the greatest complication for setup/tear-down would probably be the aCTF. The running of cables (power and networking) as well as the lugging of all their servers would probably mean 2 to 4 hours of setup and tear down every day, not counting the first day of setup which might take a day or more depending on how many people were working on it. If the cables could be left in-place at night, and the systems placed on pallets, and a pallet jack was handy (and permitted on carpet) the setup and tear-down could be minimized.

Without giving too much away, I believe I can safely say that moving our equipment in and out this year is going to be damn near infeasible unless we are provided with many minions and some virgins for sacrifice. However, some of this equipment we are planning to bring includes EPIC lighting and sound gear... as such we are QUITE willing to have a party in the contest area allowing we can get help guarding all our gear and maybe even some privileges to USE our sound and lighting gear for everyone's enjoyment. Thoughts?

Hmm how about combining the ideas and hold a "Players" ball. Pimps and Ho's theme. That would accomodate alot of the ideas including Lopey in her Kimono. Ninja's, Pirates, Prom attendees, porn stars all welcome.

I like this idea and it sounds good. Now would we spell it "Players", "Playerz" or both?
