                            Day 0


    I arrived at work late. Hours to 11. My head was buzzing 
from the fatigue. A little after sitting in the office, I went 
for the prizes. Arriving in the firm Pallada Service, took 
their SB Live! 1024, Smart UPS 600, columns Jazz Hipster, 
Courier 56k and the module memory, and then again went to the 
office. In Peter decided had to go by car. No sooner said than 
done. After another couple of hours, seized from the office 
ready suitcase and beloved digital camera sony, we pack up and 
leave. Reaching the last time home, we sat down on track, 
"warned the chief of the St. Petersburg cracker Mete0 his 
arrival, we left. Refueled at a gas station BP, purchase full 
package of energy Red Devil, we went out our wonderful city in 
the direction of Peter. Leningrad highway, unfortunately, was 
entirely culled, apparently broke down all together at CC, we 
decided. Encouraged by such activity, scene and non-scene guys, 
we zabibikali blinked happily and headlights, expressing full

solidarity with these wonderful people, and vzhali pedal
gas to the floor. Green nestled among food and beverages from 
behind, I went to the right of the driver, and speed trap 
warning cute and somehow even too domesticated stuck on the 
front of the car. Hours after 2 stsenerskaya activity around 
slept on no, but the only graphic work for the next 5 0 miles

Green was a picture for the competition, which takes the
pride of place on diskette in his pocket. To play a little in
NFS 1-2-3-4-5, and ruined by the "merchants striped sticks"
we went to Peter almost without incident. Agree, almost
Whether you can take the adventure that we are just 5 almost
became participants, organizers, and even victims of traffic 
accidents. After driving up to Peter on the calculated 
distance, I got the phone. He immediately responded inscription 
NW-GSM, and we realized that the city should be somewhere near. 
Scoring with an arrow in Mete0 Finnish station we drove to the 
northern capital. In an hour walks, I caught a taxi "to the 
Finnish!" and then we played in an exciting game of "spying" - 
the taxi driver was driving as he could, and the machine with 
prizes, work, and Greene was trying not to break away from the 
leader. In Finland we were in complete disappointment. Glancing

look all that should have been cited as the machines, I
bitterness in my heart to realize that Max no. As well as its
Wolksvagen Golf-a. Pulling nwgsm-a closer look, I dialed the 
number Max. "Hey!" Where are you? " - I asked. "And where are 
you?" - Responded to the tone he said. Then we both decided 
that the negotiations reached an impasse, and got out of the 
car. We have found 99-ki, a Met - from broken-Zhiguli 
hell-knows-what-year-release. Meeting place.



    Next, make a little impromptu race on
broken-down roads glorious city, and the frightening early
passers-by, we got to ... In general, until the same thing. 
Until Met. Here day 0 smoothly into Day 1. [Dream]



                            Day 1


    Ilya and Green went to explore the surrounding area by car.
We went with Max to give the car to his parents on the
cottage. [Dream]

    Waking up, I found myself in the immediate vicinity of
maksovskoy problem. After sitting on the track, munitions and 
cell laptop, we went to the party. Several graceful jumps

through the local ditch on the treasure - and here we are near
railway platform. Max - pretty hilarious. I am - fairly
dirty after gadskoy ditch, which he did not
warned. In general, no doubt, and pretty wet. But what
can stop the real heroes bf 96-97-99? Correctly.
Nothing. Include laptop mp3-shki pogolosistey we have to wait
train. Aborigines stared in amazement at our jukebox with
inscription Toshiba, from which came the sound of music Purple
Motiona, Enigma, and E-type ... Having bought a couple of 
pieces of paper (tickets?) We boarded the train and went 
straight to the party, having fun towards the inclusion of the 
anthem of the Soviet Union in the train. The old woman 
responded rather sluggishly, socks continued dry on the window, 
and shoes - dry on the seat opposite. Even after some two 
o'clock we were suffering at the right subway station in Peter 
E. This paragraph is worth mentioning separately - Here we 
describe some in St. Petersburg prices for a taxi. Upstairs, I 
caught the car. Saying the destination and gleefully nodded at 
the question of "close?" driver, we drove 10 kilometers road 
for 30 rubles ... In Moscow, for this may painful hit, but here 
nothing happened. 


    Arriving to the theater, we saw crowds of people with an 
open consciousness, a surprisingly nice inside and terribly 
untidy outside. Taking out a digital camera from the case I 
made a few shots especially prominent faces. A few seconds later

party started for me when I was a happy and
enlightened persons prilezlo three people from the crowd, and so
is happily saying "prog, long time no see, as he and
etc., began to pat me on the back and provide other
courtesies.


    Goodbye to them, I went inside. At the entrance I
stopped the minor pimple with the word "protection" on the 
sleeve. Clicking on it to "figure" to heighten the effect, I 
told him that before him - the sponsor, so he must roll away 
immediately. A else - not to keep the sponsor's sleeve, poor 
tone, you know. Max get out once in his own way, but it can be 
guessed and advance - piterets Petrograders eye does not shut 
down. Catching some Familiar face (bad), I hastened to get the 
latest news. As it turned out, we missed a few minutes with a 
horrible dress Militia, which had nearly broken up the whole 
party. Yes, it was would be cool. Further said angrily that now 
go spektrumistskie competition and non-Speccy will be tomorrow. 
Original. Later a couple of minutes we found the hall.



    From the hall came the eerie cacophony of AY-Stark,
perceived by the public from the audience to cheer. Under each 
hissing Impact of Spectrum special device includes one of the

three light bulbs - R, G or B. It looked depressing.


    After listening to another track, I realized that, in 
general, not wasted twelve years ago changed spectrum at 
Agat-9. In addition although the speaker was simpler. And of 
course - anyone in the head never had the idea to make a pc 
speaker compo ... What I this is leading? Moreover, that the 
Spectrum - a little outdated. AND spektrumistskie party should 
go in a break with normal. As, For example, FunTop. Such an 
assembly for the initiated. A la Masonic. Or I do not know 
where, BK-Mania what. 


    We should also give the room a few words.
The room, as you may have read in many other
"Sources" - an abandoned movie theater in about ten kilometers 
away from the outermost station. In the room, as might be

guess is: space, cafe, shop, chairs (like "and here
not otodvinesh "), and - echoing wood floors. Cunning
wire hanging over our heads like lianas, at the same stage,
ape organizers apparently staging the event itself.


    Coming out I saw the first of normal friends. Elite
Lang, St. Petersburg Frog, Moscow Malc. In general - there is 
already felt something, special. Pati Style. Seeing

familiar oak forests (dubnyarov? dubninyan?) - in general 
population Dubna, near Moscow, I honestly shook hands with all 
those remembered. Looking at Random - the main organizer of this

party, around which ran some weirdo with a camera, I realized
I do not like it here.


    Meanwhile, Max walked around, and seeming
reporter of the newspaper St. Petersburg Komsomolets took all
interviews on the topic of what goes around, and patiently
wrote stories in his little notebook. Later I
had a chance to look at these pages ... I do not know how the 
Met is did such a serious mien in the face, but leaves the 
"interview" were scribbled suggestions of my mother washed the 
frame. " Next to Max tired of everything that happens and 
sceners themselves, and then we went learn all about how they 
relate to the free love.



    People did not belong to her. So waiting and Manwe
Tangerine I went to the center - to celebrate their day
birth. I Met the Monster, and came to the Nevsky Prospekt
looking cafe "bramsel" (or something in tune). Pomuchavshis
half an hour we found it and joined in celebrating.
Poprazdnovav couple of hours we went into a prolonged
walk along Nevsky Prospect. [Holiday]

    On the full machine we have come to the Met Green home. That
do - do not remember. Expanding a couple of sofas we have 
disabled. A little later, having joined for a few minutes to

let Meteo home, we cut off again. [Dream]


                            Day 2


    Waking up, with new forces, with new goals and
attitudes to life and well-being, I got dressed, went to wake
Max. In general, looking ahead, is to say that the day
deteriorated in 5 minutes. Checking your digital camera, I
discovered a complete absence of any of his presence. Awful.
Absolute nerealshina. In general, finding a lost camera
($ 1000 +) in ferklempted we again went to the party.


    This time, security was much more serious. Shaven head
with my height again grabbed my arm and began to study my
hand (palmistry some) for the presence of the press. Tolley
mark of the beast, toli - inscriptions CC0000. Having found out 
that I do not antichrist, but what print I do not even have it 
easy began to demand money.



    The situation is stalemate - did not want to give money, and
cameras that would click on it no longer existed. I was again
require sponsorship privilege. Then the first (and last) time
Random we were approached, learned what had happened, and 
sending the protection of a long trip with an erotic slant 
missed us. After selecting the room, I first discovered Lang, 
Wind and Snouketa (first - not included). Greeted him with all 
I got monitor screen. Went democompo.



    The first question that came to mind - "what now
continued speccy compo "? As it turned out - no. Just
next spektrumisty pomuvilis on pc, and under the cheers
one ... odnoplemennikov and noise and hiss from the normal Hall
twisted elite torus (donut) of the points on the screen. Topics
time operator fled, but the screen went inscriptions lead
spektrumistov in blagoveyny excitement "Chunks, nochanki 
and-igrek, familiarity, 128, andesite, Antares. "Antares is no 
longer pour. Fortunately, this demo was only one. Farther

My nerves began to reel in something like three-shuriken
(Star was such a metal in the Japanese ninja), which
naitupeyshim alters its size to the beat of drum in the same
dumb unit. Oh well. After serving it, looking more
some normal (and not) work, we decided to choose
from the audience, but in this decent work ahead of us again 
Lang - shouting "GAAAAVNO! He opened the door down and 
ceremoniously retired from hall.



    Well, well, the city, and we decided to follow his example.
Hang out an hour outside, we discussed the future of the party, 
and conversation found out that its not there. The second day 
left in the general feeling a little better ... If it were not 
crowning speech leader for the job that "uh ... well, we 
generally ugly, and party such as closed, because we have 
missed over time "... In general, a little party had failed. 
And, of course, is to note that everything that did not depend 
on the organizers passed to cheer. All of your friends is very 
nice chat on the street, all work reached a new level, lagging 
"of bourgeois" less than 5 years in total - the scene is 
growing. 


    Very nice look and what we learned very little
people - more and more "new men", for which they honor and
glory and eternal memory. We now return to the natural course
events. Next was a terrible fuss ukushavshiesya organizers and
other things, about which even the uninteresting story. All
has been reduced to what the organizers say that the voices of 
today not count, and we in turn took the prizes, which

brought to be awarded. Although it is worth noting that the 
money that we put into the prize pool party alone can still be

demand in the form of prizes from the organizers ... In 
general, discussed all the disadvantages party on the spot, we 
slowly moved from a nice City of St. Petersburg.



    The only thing we regret is that because of travel
on this;%: pati we could not admire the beauty of
Petergoffa and the Amber Room, as well - proeb @ whether the 
camera. 


    At the end of a brief report about our trip, I would
transmit "Hello" to those people or groups, without which the 
party failed to completely, and become gray and undistinguished

event: Tangerine, Manwe, Frog, Fatcrazer, Proxium,
HellBender, Lunga, Stirlitz Spektrumistov crowd, crowd
PI-SI (Schnick).


    Really very sorry that the sponsors had to take away
prizes. Here, I would have amounted to the party BF'97 - the 
first Russian party, where the results and awards were at a 
party.
