           "The Wizard of Oz"


     After graduating from CC000, I spoke
with many people, and most were not
davolno party. In this article I would like to
address some issues that at
I think all and fail.

     We (CPU) came to St. Petersburg for the day
before the CC, partying all day about
Theatre, spent the night inside and saw all
final preparations for the party. I must say that if the 
organizers (and Randy in particular) have focused not on the 
outer tinsel, and the technical and organizational preparation, 
party would not be such slop as it turned out. I hope Everyone 
remembers that, after graduation, is traditionally considered 
hidden part of the party, and by the way, her visit and talk 
with one drunken organizer opened

eyes to some facts which were
hidden from the many visitors to the CC. Of course, we could 
start immediately spread blame foreign Ponte and everything, 
but first I'd like to go a little further in history Chaos 
Constructions and Concern Chaos in particular.



     No doubt many people remember the question that hovered 
around the closed doors of the school before the CC999: "Who is 
Random?" Then in 99'm, during interviews with the Petersburg 
spektrumistami not related to organization of the party, I 
asked this question. The answer was about the same: "There was a

Showa Potapov, but nothing serious
did, and then drove off in Australia. "Later, after reading the 
article Random 'and Scenergy, newspaper # Z80, and talked to 
one of the Membury concern Marchy (ex - Condor Soft from 
Yaroslavl), I realized that except for a few intruh this 
command does not let go, and if the level of All Membury 
concern is the same as in Marchy (sorry Leh), then, honestly, 
it's just a bunch of lamers under leadership overly ambitious

Random. You can now ask: "
how Chaosite? "In 99'm year, and in
early 00'go there was interesting to go,
but now the situation is more than deplorable.
We can therefore conclude that, except
Structural organization and participation in food Scenergy 
team, Concern (Random) does practically not involved, although 
in Basically, one would have sufficed for Structural

then to put the monument at Random
life, if not for some negativnye
moments that vytekyut of vanity Seva and hypertrophied desire 
to seem "Steep" (remember his "wings" of expression in the 
network). These are the moments we are now and consider. Let's 
start with the organization. 


     As I wrote, we were present at the Elf hidden part, where 
the moony Hunter lauded the organization held

party, which he said: "differs radically from the 'party 
school'," I think so, with a hint of FT. Do not argue, cinema, 
much more comprehensible in terms of accommodation of 
spectators, and demos are much pleasant to look at the big 
screen, but do not forget that not all people can fit in St. 
Petersburg at night, so "Party school" in this case more 
attractive, or it was necessary to let non-resident inside at 
night (in principle, at night people hung out there, but mostly

VIP), but for the order to watch security, all of which feature 
on the CC000 is to monitor the entrance. Of course, if you want 
to thump, you can go on street, and if a person needs just to 
sleep? 


     Now, about the equipment. Organizers
arrived only at 20:30 on the eve of the party,
respectively, the hall was absalyutno not prepared. Stated was 
that the ZX component will be shown in Scorpio by GMX, as in 
CC999, but the evening brought Nemo its Kay 1024, though many 
hoped it the Pentagon, as he thought of the night to complete 
their projects, sharpened by the Pentagon. Scorp, still 
appeared, but it turned out that there AY clocked at 3 MHz and 
the music it played a very not as it should. Really it was 
impossible to prepare in advance a demo car? And in last minute 
(almost overnight), the normal Pentagon was borrowed 
Mednonogova, but it turns out that connect it is problematic to 
the projector. As a result, M.O.T. / Accept corp. during 3'h 
hours tinkering with a soldering iron. By the way, with 
Mednonogovym agreed too far not the organizers, a completely 
non-party organization of people, in particular the Unbeliever. 
And what did the organizers? Random hardly be seen, but all 
this time on the walls climbed Hunter Delight and connected 
with the strobe. 


     A little about sound. On the first day of
virtual mixer sitting utter hick, who knew nothing about
soft, so the sound was very shameful
true on the second day he was invited a professional DJ, who 
followed the sound, but we, spektrumistam, this does not easier.



     Now, about preselekt music. Naturally, no one previously 
collected. History repeated itself last year, but still

ended far sadder. Preselektom
involved in the EA, Klim / OHG and M.O.T. / Accept, although 
the latter is, in my opinion, music is not engaged (kompozer to 
Accept Phantom Lord) and there is little it understands that it 
was noticeable. Therefore, many worthy tracks were simply not 
have been missed. Then planned to release a compilation of 
tracks preselekt not passed, but in the confusion, some simply 
disappeared, again, bad organization. If any of the organizers 
took care of that music would meet real people. For example in 
the preselector may enter a minimum and MMCM Miguel / CPU, 
attending Friday on the party place.



     It should also be said of the vote sheets,
the first day they were not given because their
simply not printed, and People had to
vote on ordinary pieces of paper. On
next day they appeared, but again
it was not all right, Elf said that
a pair of mi-people-from which he took a pack of
vote-sheets, and they just simply stood
and filled them as they needed.
Such a leak vote sheet is also not a plus
organizers.


     And now is to raise another issue. I hope you were 
watching movies on the party who rented Frunze. If not, then 
Pity, because with every year Frunze skill as an operator and 
editor all the time increases if the video were the beginnings 
FT98 stylish design, the CC999 video all at once on the spot. 
This is all very well, but in my opinion, it is a video about 
CC000 ruined all the parties. Firstly, you must

know what movies are made about the party or
for the party (for example, I'm dragged,
when the night was shown on the big screen
film about CC999), in the same year party was done in order 
that would make a movie. As We then told Hunter, the organizers 
(Frunze, Random, Hunter) was written by the scenario of the 
party, which was trapped just under the film, though, a lot of 
money has been spent It is on film, not to the party.



     For example, all of you probably remember the lead, which 
ran for a couple of Frunze and took all crazy interview? 
Remember I think. So, it's fee for this was $ 150, as it is 
unwound leading one of St. Petersburg's canals. The question 
is, why it was necessary with their stupid questions not 
related to demomeeykingu and stage, type: "How do you imagine 
life in 21'm century?" - A question she asked the elf. I can

say why it is needed: just
Frunze struck showing a plot of CC on the same
gortelekanale, and Randy because of his vanity, all is 
probashlyal. Which, of course, and understandable, because each 
pleasure to see themselves on television in the role of 
organizer coolest demopati. By the way, television is not 
restricted, and CC wrote some St.Petersburg journalist. Was 
planned and reporters from "XAKEP'a" as described

We Hunter, but apparently, the Random leve
were on the wane, and they are not flooded out of Moscow.


     Now the phenomenon of Random people. White limousine will 
remember everything. In the past, by Rand arrived in a 
Chevrolet (which is not poorly shown on video), and this for two

hours of limousine service was still unfasten
$ 150. What can we expect next year?
Perhaps it would be "Hammer" or time
rent a helicopter? What do you think
what has been spent yet, and these 150 tanks?
It is not difficult to guess in order to
it looked cool on video. By the way,
beginning the first day party was delayed
because of the fact that the limousine was late.


     A few words about the coverage. Rent
strobe cost another $ 100 plus a certain amount of rubles for 
the lease of Delight. Do not argue, Delight cool thing, it was 
convenient to fill the vote-sheets in the dark (glow in the 
ultraviolet sheets), but strobes in the demonstration we shall 
only irritated and provoked cries of requiring them

off. By Coy dick, I ask, too much lighting effects, if the 
ground the action unfolds on the screen. Only when they are 
really useful, it during the dance component of the first day 
and during the mayhem, which gave a drunk Isai late in the 
second. And the video they probably will look cool. Conclusion:

$ 450 spent in order to get
cool movie about what Randy is steep,
though we were extras with you - ordinary sceners. Although the 
filming movie extras pay grandmother, miserable, but the 
grandmother, but with all of us took off loot and vice versa 
stamped as a sheep (in the brain and hands).



     A little more about the script. If you
watched a film about the CC999, you probably remember the scene 
where Captain / Style Group Mach sort of petition. The film is 
all cool mounted to the music of Mortal

Kombat. Apparently, Rand is also decided to become a
star of martial arts: at the end
the second day it was trying to run down some people that grew 
into a transient fight. Rand was the victor, and how

otherwise, because it was in the script (in the words of Hunter 
'a), and specifically agreed with the petition. Apparently, a 
new film about the CC000 scene goes to the music from the movie 
MK2 "Annihilation" (where, incidentally, there's a good remix 
skuterovsky "Fire") ;-)... 


     Now, perhaps, it is understandable why
organizers worried more than just the outside, but not what was 
inside. One has only to say that at Random

end party was not demo stuff'a.
All of these cases involved Unbeliever
(This is covered in an interview with Random). AND
what a party, if the results were posted on the net a month 
after graduation party? I can not believe that their duty to 
assume Random certainly have not immediately found

vote sheets, or it is shifted onto the shoulders of others.


     And what awaits us next? CC001, on
According to Random, will take place in two stages:
first for the "elite" pisyushnikov, and the second
for wild spektrumistov. Explains this
Random big boot to the switching apparatus and more
Spectrum works. But in my opinion
a different reason: the organizers of the CC attended another 
Russian demopati ByteFall, and I talked with them about the 
platforms that will be involved in the complex. After a 
description of megabytes and megahertz of their computers, I 
asked our Speke, and received the answer that Speck

for them obsolete, and, in their opinion, to put it as one more 
component platform does not make sense. Most of my

of questions followed. Proceeding
this is not difficult to conclude that
Random we simply became embarrassed, somehow
not solidly on the "cool" to have a party platform as a 
component of a machine with 3.5 MHz and 16'yu flowers, when all 
the "progressive" people are already gigahertz and millions of 
flowers? Although do not forget that in the special issue 
propisyukovogo "Hacker", dedicated to the demo stage, 
commercials CC has done exactly Spectrum intra "C2H5OH". 

     And what do we then have: the first stage, showing that 
the PCs rulezzz, with all the limos, strobe and Tutta

Larsen, and the second phase (if it at
Random enough for grandmothers), where we, as the Russian 
proverb, "will go to after Styopka obebki. "I personally shed 
for all This window dressing, just to come and show people cool 
work. And if it is (in which I doubt), then I must go

I'll go. In general, if you want Random cool revel in Peter and 
sound like a T-shirt depicting the Kalashnikov (office podi

sits in a suit) and it does not lay an egg
another party, you should type the command
Responsible organizers (Unbeliever 'a, for example) and invite 
them to Peter two days before the party, then this shit,

as this time, I hope not.


     Finally, I want to mention one
thing: one of the sites (in my opinion, T-REX
'-Native) on a pc demoscene opublikovana review on ACCEPT' 
ovsky DeMouy with CC000 8-BITTER, which states

that it is not clear how, for all
its ordinariness scored a lot points
and got up pretty high in the charts. I
I can tell you why it happened. Us
spektrumistov to the party was more than
pisyushnikov, as well as Accept - is,
First of all, spekovskaya team, and
deme was spekovskoy direction, so we all voted for it. But
above it there is a Random thoughtful, if party comes at least 
two Visitor third less (in pisyushny day)

that is about 150-200 people, then shooting the next series of 
movie money can not enough.




P.S. - In my youth I was

              actor, played the Kings and

              heroes. Make sure that this

              occupation gives a little money, I

              became ballonistom ...

              - Who? - Did not understand the Alley.

              - Ball-lo-no-stoma. I

              ascended in a balloon, then

              there is a balloon,

              filled with light gas. I

            did it for fun crowd,

              driving around the fairs. Its

              balloon, I always tied

              rope. Once the rope

              ended, my balloon

              picked up by the hurricane, and he

              raced knows where. I

              was flying the whole day and

              prezemlilsya Fairy

              country, which is now

              Goodwin called the country.

              Everywhere the people came running, and

              seeing that I was coming down with

              the sky, took me for

              Grand Wizard. I do not

              dissuade those gullible

              people. On the contrary, I remembered

              the role of kings and heroes and

              played the role of a magician

              pretty good for a first

              times (though there was no

              critics!). I declared myself

              ruler of the country, and residents

              submitted to me with

              pleasure. First thing

              I built the Emerald

              city.

              - Where did you get so much

              green marble? -

              asked Ellie.

              - And emeralds - added

              Scarecrow.

              - And many kinds

              green things? - Asked

              Tin Woodman.

              - Patience, my friends! You

              will soon find out all of my

              mystery - said Goodwin,

              smiling. - In my city

              no more green than in

              any other. It's all

              thing - he mysteriously

              lowered his voice - the thing

              green glasses, which

              never take off my

              subjects.

              - How? - Cried Ellie. -

              Hence, the marble buildings, and

              bridge ...

              - White, my child!

              - And emeralds? - Asked

              Scarecrow.

              - A simple glass, but

              better grades! - Proudly

              Goodwin added. - I do not

              spared the cost ...
