Chaos Constructions 001: Party was ... it rulez!

(Just want to apologize for some confusion of presenting their
thoughts. Some facts may not be entirely accurate, some
completely missed. Described here is my subjective view on the 
party, which is not the absolute truth. Must read

other report, take a look / listen to the work and draw 
conclusions themselves).


August 22, 2001. So when he returned home from CC'001, I do not
I believe that everything happens in reality. For me, it 
demoparty left many pleasant memories. Old friends, new 
friends, film footage - it's hard to describe, but it cool!


Start ... In St. Petersburg I Justinas arrived on August 17 in
8:00. Behind the left Kaliningrad, the Baltic coast. Close
future has been elusive and mysterious. Well, in the "present" 
we met Petersburg. Sunny summer morning, the mountain of bags 
from our feet, and this age-old question: "Where we live and 
what we will eat?. "Taking the bags in hand, we moved into the 
metro to find out the first part of the question. But fate has 
not been gracious to us and, to get to places, we learned that 
the housing we bummer. The only positive thing was that we 
could leave the bags for storage. Taking the necessary things 
for the party at least (And forgetting to take even more 
necessary), we went to check the fallback option of housing. 
But there we were waiting for "closed doors". 

The next item on our cultural program was party place -
Cinema "Sunrise". First, on the subway, then a race with the 
trolley-bus, then walk under the burning sun and now ... it ... 
This is a great and truly historic place was right before us. 
Outwardly, everything seemed to be the old way, only on windows 
the second floor now sported a sign of computer club "Altair". 
The fact that there will be CC'1 could only guess ...


I can not say that the cinema "Sunrise" amazing place.
This business center and a hair salon and a cafe and shop, and 
here even the computer club to the Internet ... What else 
should sceners, had arrived at the demoparty?


Inside, all was calm. In the hall of any cobwebs of wires on
the ceiling was not observed. Near the scene left on the tables 
sheltered two KAY'ya. Center, located at the forefront of 
Spectrum (Pentagon, and then to add to it, and Scorpion), to 
the right of it stood COMMODORE-64 (which occasionally twisted 
demos). Here also nearby PC and AMIGA, left - control, and a 
little more to the left a PC. The latter was used extensively 
for Internet access. Left and right of the front rows at the 
walls could be seen the boxes for garbage, which is already 
used for other purposes. Speccy sat near some people, 
unfortunately, now I do not remember exactly Who specifically. 
After exchanging greetings, and knew that night will be right 
here, we have slowly come to life. 

Justinas, without knowing it, gradually infiltrated the process 
of organizing the party, or rather its part of the Spectrum. 
Very much like to part of the Spectrum CC'1 passed without a 
hitch. Runs from one computer to another, training CDs, sorting 
papers, preselekt - these are just a small list of those 
events, who did that night.


Night. In the hall went two men in police uniform (probably 
security), and now you can sleep at night ;-). People placed on 
the wooden benches by placing his head under jackets, sweaters 
and bags. Sleep on the wooden seats, I'll tell you, is not very 
pleasant experience, but the consciousness that you sleep in a 
place like partyplace, makes one forget about all the 
inconveniences. Personally, I remember falling asleep to the 
sound of Commodore-64, and woke up under Sounds spekovskoy 
AY'shki. 

August 18, 2001. I remember all asked to leave the room to
then make a run "for tickets." Waiting for a start, people in
street, near the entrance, to interact, swallowed beer and 
photographed. There were several people with camcorders and 
digital cameras. It should be noted that the lucky owners of 
the latter, on Throughout the party could easily "merge" all of 
their "Pictures" on one of the pc-computers, and the whole 
thing immediately spread to the Internet. 

If not mistaken, somewhere, at 12:00, as planned, started 
selling tickets. "Ticket" consisted of several components: 
corporate badges, two blank ballots and pens. On badge was 
necessary to specify the handle 'group, as well as the status 
visit - comper or visitor. In the first form of voting were 
printed rules of visiting the party, regulation and grid vote 
on the zx-compos: 6 nominations in 5 cells in every room for 
work. At the bottom of the sheet as it was necessary to specify 
handle 'group (and then tear off and hand that did not all) - 
then it was supposed to draw up lists of people present at the 
party. In the second form has 10 small rectangles, named names 
pc / amiga compos. These boxes had to be subsequently cut / 
tear and after each of the past who should take the compo. 
Organizers, as well as the winners of last issue special Chaos 
badges, which clearly was written "pass free" and "access 
guaranteed". Incidentally, during the entire party watched the 
police order, and if you did not have corporate badges, and 
could not let into the room, though ...


Organizers for some reason did not appreciate that someone from 
the audience and participants may be late to the party early 
and skip the "issue tickets. "As it turned out, no problems 
were latecomers to the party, but is without badges and plates 
for a vote. 

People filtered into the hall and occupied the vacant seats. 
Around Spectrum has gathered a small crowd; latecomers tried to 
pass their work. But finally came a time when Chaos 
Constructions 001 declared open. This was done by a man in a 
green jacket, which, in my opinion, was named Breeze. Then, 
during the entire party, called him "a man with a microphone." 
Under tremendous white screen on a stage adorned magazine ads 
"Hacker". His Representatives were invited onto the stage, 
which also said the words greetings to all participants and 
spectators. 

Concerning Regulations organizers immediately said that the 
plans have changed slightly, and night competitions will not be 
a party will be held at 2 days. Me this is even a little 
pleased, as he withstand non-stop schedule, which was planned 
earlier, I probably would have failed.


First in the list of competitions were listed zx-gfx compo, but 
for some reasons, first launched ay-music compo. Unbeliever ^ 
X7M announced that at the beginning of each zx-compo will show 
the best work to those who have never seen the Spectrum could 
have imagined even a little that he has such, and adequately to 
vote. And as such a better job in the ay-music was before track
