(C) KKOOLL



   For the festival I started to prepare
in the spring. Organizer CTL up with a plan
CTL stay in St. Petersburg and get-togethers CTL
the day before the festival and after him and I, as
the most honest man, bought a ticket to St. Petersburg
2 days before the festival, or rather I
was already in St. Petersburg two days. In general, read how it 
was actually. 

   Went on Wednesday the 16 th at 21:15 at
train Nizhny Novgorod - St. Petersburg. On
street was drizzling rain and it was very cloudy. In far away 
on the platform seemed group of people. It included: Vel, Uncle

Sam, Sergius Puzzler, Cooler Man and two
old friend - Dennis and Oleg (who is studying in 
Yekaterinburg). Weather did not have far to fun, in short, put 
me in the car and waved me goodbye handle.



   DAY NUMBER AGAIN.


   At 10 am the next day I stood on
Moscow railway station platform and waited
I will meet, as sent the picture and everything
all agreed. Has also been reported number of a train and car.

   Stood for a minute or two, to me so no one
not approached. On the platform of the car got out
So many people, that hardly anyone I know in the crowd. 
Reflect, trudged to the top of the platform. Suggested that 
there would be me meet with the tablet (lip roll).

Ahead loomed a few people. With each step I insinuate suspicion
that people with signs greeted not me, but
sorry. Loaf, I decided to stand in
top of the apron area in front of the station.

   An hour passed by me :-)

   While he walked, I remembered the case because of
which I am standing here.

   ... A week before the departure of the train ran to VEL'u 
and inquired about the rules CC'000, but as it turned out, 
unfortunately, the new rules, which sent him, he was sr. I, of 
course, almost in tears. He convinced me that they have not 
changed and my old record. Arriving home, the first thing 
copied the address of the festival ... 

   Bryantseva 10, a school building, as far as I
I remember after the trip. Maybe in the new
rules did not change. I still cool
lopuhnulsya and did not record any phone
spektrumista in St. Petersburg.

   After going around the station, he found a stall where
sold maps of the city. Bought the most
great showing all the streets, where he found this street.

   After wandering commercials for half an hour in search of 
the metro, but at the same time, can someone let me know, 
descended into the subway. 

   The metro was driving 20-25 minutes, but finally
drove to the station.

   CIVIC AVENUE, further on the map
turn left, go two blocks, even
left again, to take one home, turn on
right, walk across the yard, and what we see ...
Yes, we see the school, where he was CC'99, where
still in full swing repair (after TSTS'99
:-) After walking around the school, I realized that CC
here once and does not smell. But until / IC was still 2 days, 
maybe things will change. Once inside the school, learned that 
nikakago festival there called Chaos konstruakshen conduct is 
not planned. 

   If last year written reports as
people hanging out as much for two days and helped
organization, then it all was just the opposite.

   Having spent 4 hours with 12 hours, grief
Battered trudged to the station.

   (Read the story of the day is silent
because, thank God, is there I have already three
rodsvennika to which I have not even going to
go. Output, of course, no choice and I
made one phone call, after which he lived
all this time in St. Petersburg on the 16th floor on
Gulf of Finland).


   DAY NUMBER TWO.


   At eleven o'clock the figure of a tall man with a bag over 
his shoulder appeared at the doorway of the house. Looking 
around, He went straight to the subway. Small

Help: Metro branch, on which I traveled,
consists of 19 stations, 16 of which I
had to travel to / IC.

   In the middle of my way, I noticed one
boy-like sort of like on spektrumista. I did not fit - he 
decided to watch. 

   Familiar road to get to school and
all that the same result - no hint of
the festival. Lowered its soft
place on the steps, and in search of happiness,
waited for the appearance of someone who would say,
what is happening.

   After 10-15 minutes I was troubled
rumble resounds from the school yard. From
nothing to do, went to visit someone's there
bothered me in these difficult moments.

   What was a surprise that in me
the gift spektrumistov distinguished from ordinary citizens. In 
the courtyard stood the best boy who was riding the subway.


   In high spirits, I found that
His name is Jack / IMX from the city of Cheboksary. He
complained to me that the bus was going smoothly day and wants 
to sleep. 

   I told him everything as is. Not believing
me, he fell down himself to school, asked around
and he also gave a convincing answer that no
a / IC will not be here.

   Poroshlo 3 minutes, and Jack said that he
need to buy a return ticket and invited me
go with him to the bus station.

   Sluggish pitch trudged to the bus station. By
the way he gave me all the information that a 5
am sleduyugego days from Cheboksary yet
come people. In Cheboksary, too, live
CTL, and I'm a bit happy.

   A bottle of beer in intimate conversations, he said that 
changing the place conduct / IC does not know as well as

I.

   Sad, we went back to school with
the thought that anyone who suffered exact same fate, stands at 
the school. 

   Around 3:00, we (yes, almost forgot
say to Peter, I went without a clock, or rather I did go 
without them) come to school which, in our absence, there were 
three sheet of A4 on which black and

white was written:


   IN CONNECTION WITH THE PEOPLE EXPECTED Number 400, VENUE 
PARTY TRANSFER IN CINEMA "Sunrise", which is located at: ul 
enjoy your stay Harkavy, house number 22, traveling to the 
station Metro VETERANS AVENUE, travel by taxi 87 to cinema.



   Looking on a map where it is located,
We were horrified - the station was the last of this branch and 
go with us to the other end of the penultimate. 

   But nothing we have not left.
They arrived without incident.

   Approaching konoteatru, we observed
following picture: at the neighboring shops and
About VOSHOD'a rested people. No doubt
was - this is the place where gathers
Spectrum entire nation.

   Walking up to two people sitting on the pavement (CHASM 'ELF 
/ CPU), to confirm the diagnosis, we asked where the house 22, 
to which they replied that they did not know and asked that we 
seek. In both oral We were told that / IC. These treasured 
letters They waved their hands, saying at the same time that

We have got to address.

   Posing and talking found
For all the people went for a walk into town, but
before we came to Minsk and the guys brought up a fig vodka 
bottles Belarus, the I have poured salivating.


   After 10 minutes came with NEMO RANDOM'om
and brought computers. We all went to the gym
cinema. Entering the room we saw in the front of several people 
who watched the NEMO connects components. Later showed M.M.A. 
and asked Nemo: "Will my computer." At that NEMO, scratched his 
head and replied: "Definitely not I know, but am sure have 
worked for. "Here I am fell out laughing.


   Went outside, sat on the stairs
ELF 'CHASM, to him then that I joined. K
we were approached by some guy with a girl
inquired whether there will be
CC, what we said here. Then he
asked another question, on which we sit. Heard in reply that on 
the Spectrum, it is idiotic giggled.


   I'm more about this day I can not say, because time was 
later. Thank God! new location / IC is located in one metro 
stop or a 20-30 minute walk. 


   DAY THREE - DAY CC'000 (it would be better
was not).


   Getting up early, and devoured, inspired
went to the meeting place of all SPECCYnaroda.

   Coming out of the minibus, I saw people standing near the 
cinema. Of all the people I I saw only one familiar face kid

of IMX, to him then that I went ... But not
there it was - I heard someone make me okrikivaet, 
povarachivayu head to the side called out. Stands as a bunch of 
5-7 people. I went closer, drawn T-shirts CTL, with all say 
hello, get acquainted, hand me T-shirt and badge. Baby changing 
place go there, when suddenly I hear: "Guten Morgen!" 
povarachivayus - SAIROOS stand in front of me and D-MAN. 
Greeted, SAIROOS said: "Vote for us, "to which I replied:" 
Let's ...". 

   Disguised and wearing a badge, he joined
to CTL. Before kinoshkoy gathered people
A couple of 100, but with each minute of the people became more 
and more. 

   Hours to 11 - 11:30 to cinema
filled the entire area. He went away to the side
We were up by almost tratuare. Where are passing by us people 
who are constantly terrorized questions: "What's here for the 
event?". To this we replied: "The Festival of Computer Art" ... 
But after such 10 questions I could not resist and ocherdnoy 
blurted out: "You know that sinking icebreaker KURSK? "- 
Nodding his head -" Well, we all gathered here to share 
speseniya sailors from the submarine. The answer was words of 
praise and my heart felt better. In their heads to read minds - 
there is another light of the good youth. All the talk we heard 
organizer - JUSTINAS, skazvshy, it is a very bad joke. I was 
like, happy joke, I stood and grinned. Time pervalilo for 12 
hours, but not / IC started. Who took the interview, who drowned

beer, and some vodka. FRUNZE running around with a camcorder, 
and with it the girl with a microphone and poked each of them 
in the face. 

   I do not know exactly how many, RANDOM drove in a limousine. 
Limousine somehow not bred surroundings. Yes, almost none

did not pay attention to the visit organizer
/ IC - all waiting very PARTY.

   Time 13:30 only just begun to sell
tickets and get your hands dirty some sort of rectangles. And 
finally, I'm in the hall. Oh, God, living room, which was 
yesterday hall, now no longer room, and some chaos. On the 
scene (Cinema) Styal polurazbitye column.

Top, middle of the hall, and hung in different directions 
wires. All this smell of chaos constructions.


   It took another half an hour, swarming around
companies become smaller. RANDOM climbed onto the stage with a 
sheet of paper in his hands and began to speak ... I do not 
remember that, but the hall was dying with laughter when RANDOM 
reading from notes. 

   Naturally, he was to announce the opening of DEMO-PARTY. 
Again came swarming in the hanging wires. Gone somewhere 10 
minutes. 

   At the scene of cinema climbed MMA and announced the 
beginning of the first COMPO. Schedule was without any 
glitches, except for 1 / 8 konverchennyh pictures. 

   About music like I can not say because
half of the compo, I overslept.

   Next came 512 intro, intro pieces 4096
2 glyukanuli thoroughly. On moral ethical considerations that 
have emerged in M.M.A., a 4096 intruhu removed from the compo.


   Before demuhami appears Comrade RANDOM with 10 T-shirts with 
badges cc000, that went on in the world at a price of 120 
rubles for apiece.


   T-shirts were not enough, and the entire hall
required. Somehow miraculously got another RANDOM
one T-shirt and announced DANCE SHOW, the winner will receive 
this same shirt. 

   On stage was a good half belurusov, Cusick left and someone 
else. Brought music, including strobe lights. RANDOM gave start.


   5 minutes dance, named after the NIK and
by applodirovaniyu hall determines the winner. They became the 
MAST / FATALITY. We congratulate him. 

   Finally spun DEMO. Say exactly
seriously, there were glitches or not - I do not remember, but 
the demo of REAL'ov not go and personally REAL MASTERS drunk 
cleaned glitches (Here it was a professional DEMOMAKING).


   Time has passed for seven o'clock Organizer cc said that the 
first day is over and asked to clean the room.


   In the street all fotkalis, scheduled to travel around the 
city by evening. On further stories of the day I do not 
remember.

   DAY CHTVERTY. SECOND DAY CC 000 (would be better if it was 
yesterday). 


   At the end of the first day sounded a message of beginning 
the second day at about 11:30. I arrived, of course, at 12:00. 
As might be expected, PARTY has not yet begun. 

   In the crowd there were new faces, which
on the first day was not. Indisputable, it was
pisyukantsy so little amizhnikov.

   Within an hour came to the cinema
people. Some were pretty drunk.

   At 12:10 dumped RANDOM and said that
There are two news, one good, the other
bad. First the bad news, he said:
"CC does not happen." Oh, and wow, what a
was a bummer ...

   All was not so bad for spektrumistov for pisyukantsev.

   The good news: "cc will be through the floor
hours.

   No dick himself, jokes! And so the first
prosrali day, and to the second stretched.

   Another hour passed in anxious waiting.

   Finally, we have to start at 13:10. When
log sheets were handed to vote.

   Of themselves they were a sheet format
A4 with two screens - to the left and right. Left
golosavali in Spectrum and on the right on PC.

   Gradually the room filled, and who had,
everyone was seated, the others hang out in the hallway.

   Left RANDOM, tolkonul talking about the beginning of
second day. Another said that the room is much quieter, because 
Most of spektrumistov on street celebrating (thumps).


   At the beginning of a cartoon show about an old man
playing chess with himself. I really liked the ending.

   Well here have guided a small nix with pisyukom that even 
after that refused to work. After a short zavisonov, launched 
alternative music, which all got together with DJ 
epilepsicheskimi suffering seizures. 

   Fairly pokolbasivshis, went to the chart. About the graphics 
are definitely not say I can, because on a poorly configured 
PC-projector shnuyu graphics look clean distorted. 

   At half-images was very difficult
disassemble the where, what and how to draw.

   On all PC-shnom day I liked the 256
and 512 byte intro, truly deserving of attention on this 
wheelbarrow. In one of the 512th was even music, which we

Of course, not heard.

   In the middle of the room, almost in complete darkness
among the wires on the brakes KAY'e, people around the Spectrum 
copied SOFT. 

   Whatever crying that AMIGA RULEZ, and on it
there was only one 4-pound intro.
I found it very sad. Well,
about all the 4K intro I want to say: "They were
much worse than the previous two contests.

   The time was coming to show demos. In the hall
appeared M.M.A. and announce the surrender leaflets
for a vote. Later, he will need
calculator, which will Justians, for
counting.

   It is time for the 64k intro. Honestly, these intros are no 
different from demos were even better. Throughout

of the day there was only one enthusiastic response
people on the intro of the Moscow group PROXIUM.

   At DEMO we are pleased ACCEPT'y chunks
4 * 4 really cool to watch HRC ZX chunks. Well, to this day do 
something was a complete mess with this pisyukom.


   Time was drawing to a seven o'clock, on
scene went erotic show with KANO
'Co.

   RANDOM went to the people and said that time is up, it's 
time to round that losses are not 555 $, and all much better. 
Also invited to the next CC. 

   But then ran M.M.A. pre-
votes counted, all switched
at him. Room emptied quickly, all
pisyuchniki amizhniki organized and collected and quietly stow, 
leaving have no sound (well at least the projector will not 
break or robbed:) UNBELIEVER announced Results: 512, 4K intro 
GFX DEMO and offered to look DeMouy, took first place. 

   Said first and second parts 30 points, could be somewhere in 
the error will be recalculated. Well, as we now know recount 
was in favor of EI, in which consisted of a demo of some of 
chunks, which are all so tired. 

   After watching the demo with no muse, Hall was quick to 
empty, there aren'ta lot of people: some one was talking, 
someone interviewed, someone even just sitting, such as

I, someone ran an open letter to the NEMO
People (Hall).

   Finally, all driven on the street, where
flashed flash, drinking beer and going to HIDDEN PARTY.



   Fifth day. Party CTL.


   Late in the morning, at 10:00, I walked out of Vladimirskaya 
metro station. The street was Gloomy weather was fine rain. 
Before the Party was no more than an hour. A rapid pace, I went 
to the venue. Passing through the Bol. Moscow and the streets 
of Truth I turned the Socialist, where there was a hostel. I 
found it at once. Asked around passers-by, after the fourth man 
to me caught granny, which is firmly convinced,

that how she lives on this street, nor about
What hostel did not hear.

   His head began to visit the eerie thought. Had to wait an 
identification mark, which was Justinas. Until PARTY remained 
less than 15-minutes. Find a comfortable place for Ferris 
nearly all the streets, engaged in surveillance. 

   At 10:55 (very hard to split) from the door of the building 
seemed suspicious Justinas. Until I came to him, he already 
tooth on the Zab and he did not get suspicious sniff. On the 
door, I read that this is really a hostel out there

Institute.

   After exchanging a few words with the janitor and said 
password, we passed on the third floor, room number, I can not 
remember. 

   Entered the room, in front of me was
pattern apparent spree and riot :-) After
which are still asleep, only JUSTIANS,
fellow, put the kettle (a:-o) and
met me. By 12 o'clock, almost all
asleep or pretended to sleep.

   August 21 was a holiday, because
y ZSV had a birthday. First half
days spent in conversation about life
problems. Toward evening, on the table appeared vodka and 
snacks. And all went to direct celebration of the birth and

meeting CTL.

   At 20:00 Alchemist and Virus said
they train at 21:45 - it's all the news
We grieved. Before the departure of the train remained a half 
hours, during which we stifled bitterness under the general 
merriment and chpok intoxicating beverages.


   That time came and the whole crowd of us went to the Moscow 
Station, to accompany The HOT Heads'ov. In a stall Zatar beer 
AMSTERDAM strong (Vadik want offended, but worse than the beer 
I have not tried, you, I think, too: -*) and tumbled at

platform. On the same train ANTARES sat at number two man (EA 
'SISTER). Still there was someone, but not from the ANTARES, he 
them off. 

   We have had about
two minutes. In Popyhi photographed
(EA, however, the shot missed, but it turned out so bad), shook 
hands and often shouted SPECCY RULEZ and

FOREVER. Train every second blow from the
We THH. Waiting when the train will disappear
beyond the horizon, we went to the hostel. On the road the beer 
after the vodka began deystvovt, particularly affected the 
Europeans. 

   Arriving at his apartment, a little more
podzapravilis and a rowdy didzheystvovaniya something like 
sleep. 



   Sixth day. CTL COMPLETELY left.


   Waking up Tuesday morning, a snack in a hurry and ran to his
cases.

   By 13:00 the remaining people once again gathered in the 
dorm and began to collect in JUSTINAS'a path-way. Accompanied 
it, we mean farewell and suddenly on the floor before the table 
was discovered heap (ekskrimenty). Each was catch on his 
suspicious looks. In start asking whether the hostel and 
animals who run them. But all shook heads, and even someone 
said that this was was yesterday. Yeah-ah, the roof is really 
gone, quietly rustling slate. I became remember how yesterday I 
immediately went here, and on what trajectory obrulival, and how

just not got involved. After neprodolzhitelneh
thought came to the conclusion that it could
make people pretty vipivshy that
unable to get to the toilet. All eyes turned to him (to whom I 
am, of course, not say), but he persuaded us that this is not

could do (although you never know, the day
departure could ;-). The most important part of
all those present went to clean up feces ...

   I can reassure you - this whole story
has ended safely, because it was hoax, which Justinas us 
podkolol. 

   I do not remember how much was the train, but I
I can say that the very late
cool. Jumping over the turnstiles, down into the subway. They 
arrived at the station Baltic Railway Station. Before the 
departure of the train remained half an hour and ZSV, SL and 
STRIKE went to copy discs SCORPION, and we Vadik went for 
tickets. JUSTIANS good too skazanul that he still bucks to 
exchange necessary. Fortunately for us, crossing the avenue,

found a currency exchange. While waited for aunt will exchange 
their grandmother, I went to room in my impatience, and saw the 
camera and showed language. The reaction was immediate - the 
door of a head guard. After seeing us, he apparently came to 
the conclusion that we are not going to rob (he cool mistaken) 
and ulez in his small room. 

   Arriving at the station, we lost fifteen
minutes with the cash register. Finally, having bought a ticket 
and flew to the train, put a backpack on the seat and ran to 
look for people. Looking into waiting room and there 
obunaruzhiv friends people ran into the street. At this time, 
declared: "Before the departure of the train remains five 
minutes. "A little upset went to the car. On the other hand we 
were going to MIU and DT. 

   Told that the company is worth SCORPION
pisyuk Spectrum and there does not smell.

   Running to the car, with sin consume Vadik somehow let in 
the car and then we remembered that it needed to be 
photographed. Pictures turned out a little "crumpled", though 
just fine. 

   It is painful moments of parting with the organizer of the 
CTL. Long goodbye, but the mood was all bad, as we did not try 
to be funny. 

   Stood on the platform for 20 minutes in the thoughts,
what to do next. We decided to Strike
go to Aurora, MIU is left at midnight, including goodbye to them
in the subway, we saved 5 rubles:) lastly, once again 
photographed and tearfully said goodbye. 

   In search of Aurora, we probluzhdali minutes
twenty, and then, finally, finding it, we
waiting for a big bummer, because entrance to it is closed at 
16 o'clock, and time was far five in the evening. Without 
hesitation, pictured in the background of Aurora, along with a 
sailor. 

   Decided to walk along the Aurora and at the same time
attach to the girls. Only begun to learn, feel, should head to 
rotate. I turn in front of me in meters 50

costs and an eyesore on the Aurora Cusick. Here
it was a surprise.

   Abandoning all the women, went to KASik'u and
putting her hand on his shoulder, said: "hello". In his eyes, 
read by surprise. He thought he was the last who remained in

St. Petersburg.

   But this situation changed rapidly with
our appearance. First of all exchanged addresses, ask at 
someone when train.


   Cusick said suddenly: "It's a pity for me with no voice 
recorder, I have a half devyanostominutnuh tape recorded." At 
this time, I thought: "Well, what does not. How does he

people tortured:)

   Posuetivshis was planned way in which we quietly went. 
Shared their impressions about the last festival. Who are like 
boobs. Cusick tell about how as he rode a PARADOX, about 
intervyu that he took CC'000. 

   He said that he stopped at the NEMO and today at about 
eleven at night leaves. 

   Interrupting each other in conversation, we
dotopali to the Finland Station, where
Strake was reading about the train. Unexpectedly
all together, or itch to go horse
bind somewhere, so hurry up. The object was chosen immediately. 
Landfills a fun kids around the garage

in the yard.

   We have chosen the garage and headed towards him,
Cusick decided to look for a place pokulturnee.
Coming to the dump, Strake blurted out such
phrase: "Well, kiddies, quickly resorbed,
this is my cesspool! "The kids quickly figured out that they 
are on private property and coiled away from sin.


   Relieve themselves, went on the subway, where
hoped to save the last 5 rubles. K
Unfortunately our subway was completely empty and jump through 
the turnstiles was afraid. Approaching the rules of use of 
subway read that all must pay. We

disagreed. It was decided to request that we missed. Complained 
that we were from other cities came a festival of computer art 
(thank god, badges, we have not filmed, Cusick, however, was 
without a badge, but still it was dragged), the money we have 
finished. Worked.


   Popraschavshis with Strake'om, we diligently
engaged in reasoning about Spectrum and its
life and what to look for a real sit
people, not emulyatorschikov. Driving up to my station, we 
warmly said goodbye and I promised to write letters. At this 
point we parted. 



   Seventh day.


   On this day, I'm not how it worked (there was no money), so 
a walk around the city, well generally did nothing.


   On TV, about six in the evening, according to local news 
showed the festival, to which we all came together. In telecoms 
RANDOM Gauvreau about the festival, then the language milled 
sponsors. 

   But what is most interesting is the fact
that for all time intervyu was not uttered the word Spectrum is 
also true, and not said about the PC and AMIGA.


   The time has come to nine, I was ready and
went to the Moscow railway station, bought ice cream and began 
to walk down the hall. 

   And suddenly, in a corner of the hall sits on a bag
a guy who seemed to me, was
on CC'000. Without hesitation walked up to him.

   He really was on the CC, as I call him
can not remember. He himself was from CONCERN CHAOS and
there was not an artist, not the designer.

   Immediately began to talk. He said that
they are now females, because at CC, they were free, which kept 
his RANDOM word, which gave a year ago (CC'999

was smashed a few glasses and RANDOM
said that at the next party glasses do not
smash, and in fact kept his word, and found
the room without glasses). At the next festival will be the 
tickets with ultraviolet seals, the same print, but see them is 
only under ultraviolet light. At the next festival works will 
be logged on Kompashki with her spinning, not to

there were more such piles. Agreed
that the graphics look on this projector -
net distorted. Was very surprised when
RANDOM appeared on stage with a piece of paper in cancers
on the first day. He said that he threw Mednonogov CHV2 because 
Earn more on kakihto there crosswords and that they are every 
year going to the lake and lay.

Maybe soon be a movie about CC'000,
as FRUNZE should RANDOM'u.

   Well, with him we spoke a lot,
until it was time my train leaves.

   And then it ends with this story
how I went to CC.

   More than anyone I have not met for a long time getting to 
the house.
