Silly Venture 2022 SE - reaching the sky with ATARI's 50th!
So, it's already
50! years since the date the
ATARI company was originally incorporated!
Let's celebrate it the right way! We will take you up
towards the stars. Even shorter distance from the airport, easy access to the party place from the train, tram and bus stops!
JOIN US! Listen to the beat of the alive & kicking
ATARI scene! Let the legend continue.
One of the SV participants, namely
Thomas Niemann (a.k.a.
Schlampf) from Germany, prepared a very nice teaser related to our event with the help of the
Atari 1040 STe and the Photochrome tool
Anyway, see for yourself! The link to the YouTube video is below.

I encourage you to order
SV2022 T-shirts! We are waiting for your completed forms
until July 22 (Friday). There are
5 colours to choose from - next to them are the manufacturer's catalog numbers, do not be influenced by them, this information is for us only. T-shirts are of better quality than the last - higher grammage as well change of manufacturer. The logos from the sleeves "Atari50" and "Gdańsk" were transferred to the back because the designer (mOOnie / MSB) came to the conclusion that there were too many of them - hence a small design change.
Full list inscriptions on the back:
ATARI50
PONG
LYNX
FALCON030
ATARI ST
PORTFOLIO
JAGUAR
ATARI400
XL/XE
2600 VCS
GDAŃSK
PRICE: 21 EUR. The price has changed because the cost of the venue itself is very high. Thus, by purchasing a T-shirt, you support the budget of the event related to covering part of the costs.
Thanks in advance!

There is a possibility of personal collection at the event, or shipping by mail.
If someone has not received his previous T-shirt, he didn't make it to the party, etc. -
don't worry and report it me this fact. Certainly nothing was lost
Sorry for the delays - new t-shirts will be shipped
much faster!

Dear
Silly Venture participants - Both those who will physically show up at the event, and those who observe us remotely - I have to show you something ...
But before I can write it down, a short introduction: Until the
summer edition of Silly Venture 2022, to be held in the days from
August 12 to August 14 remains (which is easy count)
just over a month away! Almost all the details related to the event are already known and (I think I can risk such a statement) it has a good reputation
among atarians all over the world. Managed to build up the brand I was working on, with few breaks
since 2000!
Due to the fact that
ATARI is celebrating its
50th anniversary this year, an unprecedented thing happened. In a way it is a historical event and the culmination of my contribution to promoting
ATARI brands in the world
I am happy like a kid!
Well, the official patronage over the event was taken up by...
Yes,
THIS IS NOT A JOKE! Atari has become the
official patron of
Silly Venture! Soon I will receive
prizes for participants competitions - incl. in the form of
VCS consoles! Speaking of competitions, all submitted and presented entries will be viewed by...
new Atari management This is what happened with previous
SV entries, because I was asked to send links to
the entries that were submitted for competitions over the years - from
VCS to the
XL/XE series,
ST/STe,
Lynx,
Falcon, and ending with
Jaguar! Including...
DEMOS!
It is possible that something will attract the attention of
Atari enough that it will want to start closer cooperation with an author sometime?
Could you imagine a better celebration of Atari's 50th anniversary? And that's not all!
There are also many attractions waiting for us at the party itself, including a
long competition marathon - traditionally a lot of entries are expected from the
VCS console to the
XL/XE,
ST/STe series,
Lynx,
Falcon and
Jaguar! Entries are also expected from friendly "guest" platforms (
C64 and others), which
SV did not exclude and will not exclude
Thank you all! This is our joint work!
At this point, I would like to mention one of the participants of the
SV, who supports this year's
SV in a special way -
Thomas Niemann (a.k.a.
Schlampf). It was he who made me believe that there is nothing impossible! Made me have a look at the entire legacy of
SV from a different perspective and follow the blow - thank you for that,
Thomas! <3 For your faith in
SV and in me!
And finally, today we have
an official video-invitation that encourages you to participate in both this year's
SV2022 editions -
summer and
winter:
SV2022 SE/WE official video-invitation
See you at the summer / winter edition of Silly Venture 2022!

p.s. I have one more request for you. If you are going to participate in
SV (whether it's
physically or remotely), or maybe you'd like to
support the event by purchasing any of the tickets -

I strongly encourage you to participate in competitions! I think it's worth it
It's time to inform you about a new place for this year's summer edition of Silly Venture 2022! As you know for a long time, I really like challenges - which are not necessarily related to common sense 
If nothing happens, I finally can be there. The event is inbetween my planned summer vacation. So now looking for a nice holiday place near party location for those days.
