                  (Intro)



     Initial zapysk apparatyry scheduled for
Thursday, 1913 avgysta. But we waited krytoy bummer. For
arrears in payment of electricity, a school 91
(Venue FunTop'98) has been disabled from the city mains. We are 
well aware that otmeny festival, no one will forgive. People 
are prepared, many finally arrived kypili tickets so that there 
is to say, frustrating event of the year ... :-( 

     The mood was "on the nyle, simply pyki opyskalis ... It 
was decided to "problemy power" to hold in strict confidence 
and all possible and impossible ways to continue providing

festival. Organizing Committee Chairman Vladimir Bulchykey 
(Wlodek Black) sent by facsimile to all governmental stryktyry 
able to solve ety problemy, headmaster interrupted his otpysk 
are brought "Influential" parents ychenikov school. Despite the

slozhivshyyusya sityatsiyu, organizers have continued to carry 
out their dealer service tools. Were wired cables, brought 
monitors (thanks to Ilya Abrosimovy (EA)), GPV wrote to myzonov 
players and viewers for images. ZX-SHADOW (Ilia Ivanov) and 
KONEX (Andrew juices) fytbolki ordered with the logo of the 
festival .... and thus y no one of us was not yverennosti that 
FunTop generally held. :-( In sredy, 19 August, I called

Vladimiry Bulchykeyu, and the conversation it became clear that
no electricity and no bydet! Decided to meet tomorrow at the 
school for inspection of neighborhoods to unauthorized 
connection to the mains. In 14:00 I was on the spot, Volodya 
was in a very depressed state (k slovy, this man bydychi 
seriously ill, and continued to dealer service tools 
organizer!). Chyt later came ZX-SHADOW, KONEX, FIL and EA with 
dvymya bags fytbolok. Inspection neighborhoods showed that 
podklyuchatsya was nekyda. Electric, reduced from the housing 
department, said: "I'd like to help, BUT DO NOT WANT TO LOSE 
WORK ... "A day FunTop, and y have no electricity! Full Scribe! 
Evening Thursday, 20 August Wlodek Black was able to negotiate 
with one of the tenants of the house next door. We provide 
rozetky on sybboty, 22 August pybley for 200 + meter! Now we 
need to - kypit 130 meters of wire. Y money we do not have,

I phoned all ZXNet095, nobody gave a penny!
Vyrychili FIL and Wlodek Black. In pyatnitsy after the call 
switching firms torgyyuschih wires, we FIL'om finally kypili 
these ill-fated 130 meters "line Life FanTopa! (I recall that 
it was all done the day before the festival!) at 17:00 was made 
pysk verification techniques (first and last rehearsal), our 
luck it worked fine. Only then can we believe that FunTop 
place!

spektrymistov Moscow (Fil, Sander and MPR) and put them on 
registration. At 9:15 am "Lifeline" has earned! We have not 
(yet) electricity! "Lifeline" was a 130-meter cable, protyanyty 
from the fifth floor at school the first floor of a neighboring 
apartment house. Sight, I'll skazhy just yzhasayuschee, as no 
one is hit, I still do not understand. To protect the cable was 
allocated to three people: Jason, Klim and Marilyn. The truth 
is closer to kontsy FunTop'a, security guards "life line" was 
not observed in the immediate vicinity, but quite clearly 
observed two pystye bytylki vodka. :) Work, after all, y they 
had a hard ...
