BLOGparty

Blockparty is a demoparty held in the United States. It was founded in 2007 by Jason Scott and Christian “RaD Man” Wirth. For its first year it partnered with Notacon in Cleveland, Ohio. This allowed the organizers to focus on the content without having to worry about infrastructure planning.
Blockparty is considered to be a spiritual successor of NAID, the North American International Demoparty, which was held in 1995 and 1996 in Quebec, Canada. Both organizers and most of the speakers for the first Blockparty had attended or competed at NAID. NAID’s short life (only 2 years of existence) but wild success was considered a high point in North American demoparty history and BLOGparty is in some ways an attempt to repeat that success. Blockparty organizers were also active participants in the organizing of Pilgrimage, the only US demoscene event between 2003-2006.
