What is the Party everything you know? And what is good and the 
bad party? By what criteria you can define for themselves, 
whether successful held party, or so-so?


For example, take two party, held in various cities and
partly on different platforms: Chaos Constructions'000
Mindresource'2oo1 in St. Petersburg and in Moscow. [Report on 
cc are looking at adventurer # 12, by mrs - we]


At cc0 was a terrible organization that mrs1 - beautiful, such a
organization, and what should be present on normal party.
Mrs wins in this area, but boasts real cc
huge number of visitors that is hardly less
determinant of success of the party than the organization. 
Again, follows from this and the large number of papers, just 
missing to mrs.


Ie face of a good / bad Partee heavily eroded, and very rarely
who manage to hold party entirely positive, without
negative aspects. About it - the perfect Spectrum
party - and will be my article.

Venue of party - a factor? Probably yes, although not a factor
determines. It will be Moscow - well, Peter -
wonderful! Venue shall be selected on the basis of
convenience for the organizers - it must be the city in which a
organizer'a most bonds, the city where he feels
confident. Yet, choosing to rather from
the central cities of Moscow and St. Petersburg, as go to 
Verkhoyansk little whom to keep.


Time - a factor? Another one! But here, in my opinion, all
clear - the real parties should be held in the summer, 
preferably in end of August. By the way, about the virtual 
party can only say one thing: they should be as much as 
possible (within reasonable limits, course), they should be 
clearly organized and they should be well-timed event, such as 
not to do not run into "dead season" demoscene - December / 
January, while sessions and "tails".


Organizers - a factor? Wow, of course! Probably the most 
important moment: Say now, that eye-q invite everyone to a new 
party, even in Moscow, go there at least someone? Hundred

percent - not even the darkest Uncle Vasya remembers stories
di: kal'ov and fe: kal'ov, nor what the sweet promises of it 
there do not entice. In my opinion, now there is only one person

believe that the majority - unbeliever / / xtm, man
which in fact he spent the entire day Spectrum cc0,
the man who more than anyone has talent as an organizer.

What I propose specifically for this year?

Grab a pen and write - thought a rarity in our time, and my
thought - a rarity in two ways. Unbeliever lacks a keyboard, 
nervously typing the address www.mail.ru, and immediately wrote 
a letter to random'u specific proposal to cancel the Spectrum 
cc1 day or provide complete his organization to him. Random - 
you also do not stand aside, and check your mail. What is it? 
No? Let's wait ........ Everything is ready. Fast read that 
gibberish that you Max wrote and agree without hesitation, 
while ensuring For its part technical support roles in the form 
of projector, compo-machine (scorpion + gmx) and vote-sheets 
with tickets.


... Days go by ... Weeks ... Months ... And now - 2oo1 year, 
August, 12 Number, Sunday. Before the party - six days, almost 
a week, unbeliever is at the station, nervously looking around 
in search of a white Limo random'a, who promised to throw it on

party-place. Oh! Here he is late, an Australian ...

 - Randy, well, you do not ofigel? I do the same with a 
commodore, you mean, 

   forgot? Well, how would you think I was getting on the 
subway? 

 - Come on, Max, do not boil ...

Party-place - cinema or nightclub with a drop dead sound and
large projector ... Projector, by the way, not yet - it will 
take rental only for the duration of the party. Unbeliever 
personally all checks, performs the necessary steps to organize

reinforcements (several Membury ctl - will be exactly), profit,
well as himself mma week before the party.

Morning, August 16, Thursday. Prior to the party - almost two 
days. Unbeliever sends us to the station to meet justinas'om

arrived that day by appointment most worthy
scenery for preselect'a, the subtleties of which I
do not want to go, more importantly, what it is and that his 
team - a few people who have no right to vote for their

work. At the same time unbeliever has already sorted out all 
the work all laid out in neat daddy in the form of compo / / 
copy / nocopy. 

Late morning, August 17, Friday. Tomorrow - Party. All demos 
are already come (deadline - August 15 + 2 days in reserve for 
latecomers) unbeliever gives the command to start and the 
person behind the computer (By the way, not because the 
computer is idle, and for the compo-machine) runs all the 
demos, while looking at each job to end, making sure 
neglyuchnosti podgruzok and presence / absence of an epilogue. 
The evening was finally known schedule for the compos 
(preselekt passed, all the work selected to detect the duration 
of the demos), by the way, this day will be only zx. All the 
preparations have been completed and the audience can start 
right now. By the way, organized by the chill-out, similar that 
was mindresource, and everybody can relax and relax.


11:00 am, August 18, Saturday. Hundreds stand in spektrumistov
their most memorable turns - in the queue for tickets at
cc1, cc, on which they expect to win all of their
competition and lower the enemies, have a beer with friends,
communicate with the pen-friend'ami ... By the way, along with 
the ticket is issued vote-sheet and a pen for very forgetful 
individuals. 

Arrived at the party even more representatives of Spectrum
scene than in the past year: too unbeliever-is able to arrange
promotion, with all his characteristic eloquence, with
his characteristic feature of the talk, they say, "on
chestnaku ". Placebo brought DeMouy had worked on all these
long 11 months after cc0, DeMouy in which glavenstvenen
plot. Razzlers prepared for something quite extraordinary in
terms of design, their deme stylish and dynamic. Extreme found
himself a new encoder and done just Soul Plane demo not only 
with cool graphics and music, but with twisted codes. Die

Krupps did a cool demo received great inspiration from
We shall see with other platforms. Partyzans finally fired
worthy offspring, with music nik-o and graphics gas 13.
Unified Team Permyaks still able to impress the world
the stage for its stunning demoy, about all the delights that
I will not tell, so keep your interest in their work.
Real Masters stop drinking and seriously took up
music / graphic design of their work, not forgetting
of course, about the amazing effects inherent in them .... Ah, 
yes that I will enumerate here everything, just because 
discourage interest in the view new demo ... Okay, enough about 
them, themselves all see ... God forbid, on the big screen. The 
key is that they will not much is not enough - 16 pcs. Schedule 
this year, please the emergence of new nocopy artists, although 
copy artist will approach their jobs with greater 
responsibility, will try to reach the level of the 
unforgettable diver'a. About music I modestly keep silence - 
not gozhe you know all the secrets. 

Evening of August 18, unbeliever stands on stage, adjusting the 
laces on their branded vsevynosyaschih shoes from the company, 
which motto "Take two thousand miles and look at their shoes" 
... Dozens of microphones have been sent in his direction - all

interesting to know the results of a global party, and not just
learn, and record and release within a week after the game
your newspaper / magazine with all the details, reports, and
final results. Glancing glance Hall nightclub
unbeliever started reading the results: "What, in the demo compo
This year was so strong that even the Towers
battered sceners, demos were so touched and
tender, that half of the hall you can see the eyes, slightly
red from the tears ... But at the same time, the demos were so
aggressive as clockwork, that all you can see
our friends amizhnikov, panting after sixty
minute non-stop-dance'a ... Demos were infusion ... [Cries of
Hall: "Max, have already got pulled! rezalty Come on!"] Okay, 
time You need ... ZX Spectrum demo compo, the first place ...

The place deserves a team in a hard struggle, a place that
they occupy the first time - they are young sceners who spoke
today with his debut in demomeykinge - they are showing a new
level and neby ... [Screams from the audience: "Damn, Max, you 
ohrenel!] Okay, okay. So, first place in the demo compo - C..
