      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~

KVAZAR>

   About the past in our nice city festival Sozh dance "can be 
a long time unharness, this event lasted three days and was 
widely publicized by the media. From 17 th to 19 th September, 
the entire Gomel was like one big ant hill. But the most 
interesting thing that the festival coincided with the 
celebration of the city ... That's really fun at the glory of 
the People. Around Gomel concerts, discos, performances, fairs 
and the terms of the people, nation, people. 

   At the central Lenin Square were established stands, there
had to undergo major concert. The park Lunacharskogo preparing 
enchanting show, working rides, a dance floor. Across the 
street blared music ... 

   In fact praznike I was almost by accident, the 18 th in the
Saturday, in the company of three pisishnikov. Since the 
movement of Soviet was blocked, the excited crowd was all over 
the shaft street to the city center, this living stream. 
Several discourage drunken abundance, because officially drinks 
on sale in those days there were no ...

   It all started pretty bad. We drove into the city on the 
square. Twirled, twisted - nothing seems interesting was not 
... We ought to take a sip of something ... People run hither 
and around the city in search of this same "something" ... And 
the "what" is nowhere and no! : (In every store hangs a piece 
of fucking that fuck you, that will be sold with 17 to 19 ... 
Saleswoman with impish mug ma request sufferers replies: "And 
here I find a new job, then selling." Some getting out from 
under the counter for some uzhasmoe potion called gin and 
tonic, and the terrible price it is offered to visitors. There 
was nothing. We were like the Soviet's Square Uprising to the 
park, just five commercials (and the people were "The whole 
street - one of the crowd, and, incidentally, funny commercials 
so easy to walk in the middle of the street) and Nichrome 
intoxicating never found. With sorrow in beer bought kvass 
bottles, torn label, and strolled leisurely toward "Aimlessly" 
Observing with the faces of passers that have once my eyes, 
seeing in our hands the coveted "Beer" ... ;-)

   Around 21.00 the beginning to get dark. Approaching the 
area, we found nehily crowd of people. Here's how I remember 
this in Gomel was not. On the steps of the Drama Theatre was 
full swing concert. Youth raged in the stands. Along the 
perimeter of the area people besieged dozens of large and small 
stalls. Elegant saleswomen in the national Belarusian clothes 
drum up customers. In side of the colorful guy playing the 
accordion. There was a brisk trade in souvenirs, ice cream, 
soda, pizza and hot dogs. In the air appetizing smell of 
barbecue ... 

EASY>

   In general, we came back into the park, the promenade ... 
All of that same route we went to go ... And now for something 
firefighters arrived, thrust one arm into the river, while 
another lay on the bottom, "Embankment" into the distance ... 
They have brought the wheelbarrow. Well, shake to Some water 
... So what? We thought, and wandered on rides. A what was 
going on there! People finally can not only apples fall 
nowhere, there can not spit without hitting at the same time 
somebody's ass - head. :-) Passing gay establishments with the 
letters "ME" and "Jo" zanablyudali funny pictures: of the 
institution as it were, and not visible, and around the crowd! 
Quickly retreated, wandered in the opposite direction. 
Meanwhile, cops have built from their bodies a living fence, 
thus, we fenced off from the waterfront. Well, dick. We 
thought, and went and shoving cops shoulder, the known route. 
But the joke started when approaching the pier. Pozharnikovsky 
bight a burst! And all the cops so relish the beginning of 
water. And they are not budge, just stupidly lybitsya began, 
poor things. So what ... Yooo! My drugan draws attention to the 
familiar person in the crowd! Well this is the Monarch! I was 
delighted and threw him to pay attention to us ;-) And what was 
the rapid delight (truly, who are looking for - will always 
find!), when he in the bag, carefully wrapped in newspaper, lay 
a bottle vadyary! The monarch told us that he seeks Cravo, but 
something, somehow and no. ;-) Well, as usual, for the meeting 
had something to drink. Just guzzle vodka had something 
uncivilized and even home to get to The same day like ... And 
then remembered the glorious days are the first pointovki. 
Muddied the screwdriver! Without thinking twice, all agreed. We 
wandered for a specific purpose: to find a suitable stand to 
Zatar "Coke." Long or a short is, but we all still have in hand 
two-liter bottle of excellent liquor ;-) Feet kudato go. Throat 
to make sounds while dampening all the new grained Otvertochki 
", in general, we dobreli to spasalki, and here, passing Cop 
"limo" I've heard interesting things who said I would like ... 
"... Gee, and here cops nedavecha dog walked, the explosives 
were looking for ...". Debris that parked under the wheel 
"limo" quickly shoved a member of his pants, and so glanced at 
me, I thought all ... But apparently KokaKoly bottle in his 
hand and yet smooth gait did not give me bite and we went 
nezabrannymi further heard an interesting speech, Rained out of 
the window (in box) Cop barn: "Hey, Lieutenant. Why I was 
taken? I'm not drunk at all ... Let go, and ?...". Once all my 
mirth vanished in a flash, but good, the next sip returned to 
its former good spirits :-)... 

KVAZAR>

   With some difficulty forced his way through the crowd, we 
headed to the park, where should have been played the most 
important presentation. People gathered on the wharf, where a 
well could be seen occurring over Gomel extravaganza. The 
central bridge has been flooded with all the lights, and bottom 
of the inexpressible action played out. When on the water 
smooth surface of gleaming yachts set sail and flashed the 
first outbreaks began a wild stampede. Everyone tried to get 
closer and take the most convenient place for observing. Small 
climbed on nearby lampposts and trees, a heart-rending 
screaming girls (it was not clear whether joy, or that they are 
pressed) trying to get guys to head ;-)... Ecstatic roar of the 
crowd mixed with wild shrieks crazed teenagers ...


EASY>

   Taxied along the way around the corner, in order to free 
capacity for next infusion, we strolled the promenade, where he 
continued to talk about anything, sipping Sing and hearing gay 
Mouzon, Rained from the bridge, with nehrenennoy volume (about 
600-700 meters from the speakers!). Looking at his watch, and 
make sure that it was time to move closer, we are engaged in it 
and, going along the way to the bushes, in an abundance growing 
number of ;-). Perched near the parapet of the embankment began 
to look at. First began to play some music. With water (with 
barges, but her in the dark was not much), began to climb the 
balloon, driven by frantic cries of the crowd on it, suspended 
in an unnatural position, writhing some gymnast, well 
poizvivalas ... Doizvivalas. ;-) Then I decided to say about us 
yelled the whole neighborhood: "Spectrum ruleeezz !!!!!!". The 
ball dropped back and floated Sozh sailboats, all sparkling and 
glowing. Full kicks! ... 

KVAZAR>

   Pokayfovav some time (and having lost in the crowd of his 
companions) I decided to break down the embankment, but all 
approaches were covered with solid masses of people. 
Surrounding the chain of park policemen were obviously lost, 
since Nobody waited for so many drunks. In hastily pulled the 
bus out of it poured reinforcement of a dozen cops and they 
rushed down a run. Close I noticed the ambulance, someone has 
already loaded ... Near kiosk with ice cream, some drunk guy 
with a puny market policeman ... I did not wait what this is 
all over and went to the area, deciding to bypass the park on 
the other side. Along the way, buying a bottle of beer (oddly 
enough!), I stood for some time around the stands, watching the 
concert. The latter, incidentally, was very good, sound - the 
levels and everything else. And then fireworks over the park 
began. All screamed wildly and Rushed to the fence. Volleys, 
one after another shook the air, and fireworks were unusually 
beautiful. And then began a laser show with music. Something 
like that I saw during the concert JM Jarre in Moscow ... 
Meanwhile, people from the wharf began to break up and the 
stairs formed a real crush. I have thought it would be like in 
Nyamiha, the more that some front began to fall, and behind the 
mob pressed forward. Ran riot, and literally from under the 
feet of people have fallen to pull out ... But the park 
continued to rattle the fireworks shots ... 

   I went there late at night, pretty and dumb pribaldevshy
from all seen ...

EASY>

   ... After the last volley, we wandered from house to house, 
simultaneously entering the store on Pushkin, in order to buy 
anything ;-) tsikavogo Iduchi toward the Soviet saw an 
interesting picture: the whole street poured shaft crowd, 
shouting excitedly: "Gomel" Gomel ". Something like planting 
friends in the trolley, we strolled the monarch take me home 
... :-)
