 As intended from the very beginning, this
it won't be the same party that everyone is used to
see, but simplya meeting of people from
nearby cities - on CC`99 or
Funtop it's a long way to go, so why don't we
Shouldn't we gather somewhere closer?
Naturally, the closest city to us is
ours ;-)                                   
 Undertook the organization of this enterprise
Sobos/AreaSoft.It seems like they were sent
rumors that there will be a party in Siberia...    
 Mystery, Fikus  and Slack Den  was
it was decided that this event would be held
will21-22August.                      
 It all started with the fact that the "organizer"
this party disappeared without a trace in about two
weeks before the party, and I and Slack had to
Den'u take everything into your own hands... Here we have
suit and go ;)                          
 Mystery fussed a little, wrote and
sent out info around the party.  Soon they became
the first results appear - calls and
letters with soap.                             
 Anyway, who knew how to get to
Fikus or Mystery, we got there ourselves,
We met someone at the station. Somebody
turned out to be DemoDeD/Delirium T.              
 On Friday (08/20/99) the guys from

  Day One (08.21.99)
  "But how wonderful
 it all began..."
 from film
                                          
   And it all started simple!  General fee
was scheduled for 12:00.  All the people pulled up
rushed to the beginning of the second..!  After a short
a lively exchange of pleasantries, it was decided
take a photo, as they say, not
leaving the cash register.  After this procedure Ze
Pagan taxied to the nearest stall for fastenings
solid drinks.  In order to demonstrate
watsurrounding the whole rulez of what is happening, in
everyone filled up the stall... Faintly hoping that
someone will listen, Slack Den suggested
take something edible.   Where
there...;) People were frantically stocking up
beer and vodka.  Probably hit someone
voice of reason and on the river, where we spent
almost the entire first day, it was discovered that
How many bags of chips?  True,
coped with them extremely quickly...
After a toast to the fact that we have gathered here,
the people broke into groups. Topics of conversation in
these groups were very different - from
DejaVu before phone card counterfeiting :-)
The largest group crowded around
that guypopularly known as Ze
Pagan.  He poured vodka for everyone, and
For some reason I didn’t get drunk myself, although I seemed to be drinking
just like everyone else!    Having seen from what
speed people began to absorb
the above water, Slack Den hurried
take several interviews for the newspaper, so
Moreover,  Daniel  did the same for
his magazine. As it turned out much later,
all interviews conducted onparty
Playgear, did not record - the recorder was ordered
hall to live long.  In this regard, we
luckier, so take a look at the section
"Our interviews"!40-50 minutes after
started drinkingwith a roar and a crash from
the nearest bushes appeared Mg.Nik, many
Falton appeared later.  In general, the first
absent day: Alex Raider, Madge,
Wanderer, Zacho  and himself
organizer - Sobos, who, however, did not
appeared on the second day.  And also Voxon,
KVS, MCF...they weren’t there either the first time or
on the second day... Voxon's just on the way
intercepted ;*) He arrived at the next
weekend and we had a drinking party with Hrumerom. 
   A few hours after the "start" to
some guy came up to us and asked,
is it possible to take bottles... Mystery, from
of his kindness, began to walk and
show where we have empty bottles, and
they were lying around in large numbers
and were also found under bags/packages
andclothes ;) In general, when this guy
collected about 30 bottles, Mystery,
happy that I pleased the man,
joined a small group of people.
Imagine his surprise when this
a bunch of people  approached a useless Fikus  and
says:                                  
 - Just imagine, some guy here wanted
our bottles suck!   I'll take them back
took it!!!                                 
   At the same time, he points to several
two bottles standing next to each other 8-o            
   Meanwhile, five bottles of vodka and a box
beer has run out.   For more
Fikus, Creator and DemoDeD went...
gone and done with.   When the people started
think that everyone failed
guys with the task entrusted to them, on
horizon our assailants appeared 
accompanied by packages of beer and other
less inserting liquid.   Here it is necessary
add that  under the influence
alcohol-containing vapors, Creatorlost
body control just on the descent to the river(the height of the bank in this place was approximately
meters like  12-15,  and the elevation angle is about
60-7O degrees), in order to save a bag of beer,
heheroically rolled off on his ass with
mountains.   The victim got off lightly
fright and torn pants, that
agree, nothing compared to broken
beer :-).  Well, judging by his clothes,
he rolled down the hill like a can of Fanta
temple steps in advertising ;-))           
   Further events develop even more rapidly
more simply... They brought enough beer to drink
No one could do it anymore, although there were attempts.
Mystery together with Playgear` sheep dumped
will he refresh himself?  In fact, the requirements
stomach to eat something appeared in
Daniela, Olga, ZePagana, Hrumera and more
someone.                                  
   Well...                                  
...In general, they wanted to eat. Collected
a bunch of about 6-7 people, they told the rest,
that we’ll come “right now” and go to the summer cafe.
But they decided to buy dumplings near her,
go to Mystery and eat them there (from the placethe party is about 15-20 minutes walk away).
And so they did.   Happened while eating
such a funny incident...                  
   It seemed to us that Dima (Khrumer) was
the most respectable person of all
those present,in the sense, he has programs
"serious".    Well, I decided Mysteryhim
make a memorable gift.   N did -
eight-inch floppy disk ;-) Everyone who was for
table, left memorial paintings on it and
They gave it to Dimych.  He had never seen anything like this before
floppy disks :) At the same time, the process of eating
his dumplings changed - he ate one,
took the disk out of the envelope, so surprised
shook his head, put the disk back and
next dumpling :))                   
   At this time, the people remaining on the shore
with difficulty tried to get up,someone had already
succeeded, someone was very close to it.
Drunk and the sea is knee-deep ;-) Apparently,
guided by this sayingman
five went swimming (all this will be possible
see as .jpeg on our page at
internet).                                
Time passed, and our eaterscomrades all
didn't show up. After a little debate I would-
It was decided to go to meet them.  No sooner said than done. People, erect, non-
moved in a swarming crowdtowards the house of Mys-
tery. We arrived safely, having lost in the pu-
Ty Mg.Nik'a and Falton'a (they, as it turned out
later, we went straight to the bus stop). Zava-
the whole crowd came to Dimon,the people realized that that
there is no way to fit into such a small volume
it will work out. Creator immediately grabbed it incomprehensibly
where did the guitar come from and strum something
like: -And we're for %$@sya, I mean, good...
Here  people demanded to show him Voxon,
there was nothing to do, I had to call Micah, who
who promised to drive up, and we had to
meet him at the bus stop. After sitting for another 10
minutes, Dimonbegan to smokeeveryone on the street
tsu.    Hmmm... Although, to be more precise
adhere to chronological accuracy,
Voxon received a call during
cooking grub, and, previously mentioned
Nik and Falton met him at
stop, afterwhat disappeared in
in an unknown direction ;) In general, it was
so...                                    
   When we were about to go back to
shore, everyone who remained on the shore began
go to Mystery home. Naturally he
immediately sent everyone outside -apartment
it hasnotrubber.  Lech was an exception
Creator, whom he left at home (well not
he could already walk normally :*)           
   While we were at Mystery, there was
a call was made to Voxondemanding him
appearance.  We agreed to meet him. Well
and we all went to meet him :) We come,
but Micah is gone! Wait a bit - ice cream
We ate, drank beer, etc. Somewhere through
We're tired of waiting for about 30 minutes. Let's look at
clock, and we arrived 3 hours later ;-)    
   It’s not that we slowed down, we just walked
so... Past the beer stall, where
stopped for 5 minutes relax, here
and relax. ;)                        
   Seeing that Voxon had not arrived, the people
I started thinking about spending the night. Good for us (Newthere were more Siberians than visitors, then

DeD and Daniel with a friend stopped at Mu-

I spent the night with someone from AREASoft. WellHru-
mer andCardinal went to their relatives
Kam. This was the end of the first day.    
   Gee-gee-gee... Well, the drinking started there...
working at home, using computers, etc.  And here
Fikus still spent the night at the police station
;) He went out onto the porch to
breathe some fresh air (this is bullshit, what
there is a balcony ;), and “they” are already waiting for him ;)   
                                          
                                          
                  Day Two (08/22/99)
 "What is the city of Novosibirsk?
 This is a small town,
  which has only one street,
 paved with boards and
 always littered
 snow..."
                                          
   Many thought that there would be a second day
go the same way as the first one, but they
were wrong.   We went in a friendly crowd to
city center :)                           
   It was cloudy on Sunday morning, but
by lunchtime it was gone.  Having filled up in the morning to
Dimon and waiting for everyone to gather
people, we decidedto spend the second day
more cultural. Therefore, we decided to go to
city center to the Opera House.   More
in the evening, on Saturday, Dr.Bars was asked
reach those people from Flash,whom
wasn't on the river.  The meeting was scheduled
under the clock at the city hall.   Arriving in
center, we first took pictures at
background of the fountain, then everyone tumbled to
geographical center of Russia - Kazanskaya
Chapel on Krasny Prospekt.
After lighting up, we went to the meeting point,
where they found people bored from languid
waiting for  Alex Raider  and  Zacho (old
matological bearded men).      The most
it's funny that the whole crowd walked past them
at a distance of a couple of meters and only Mystery
noticed them ;) A few minutes later
Daniel appeared with Olga - they have been here since morning
We went to the city to do our business.  Such
the opportunity cannot be missed, and we moved towards
Opera House, with the express intention
capture everyone present on film.
Already during the selection of a historical point
our stop, we were joined byMadge
and Wanderer from Flash.  And Voxon never
arrived :-( After all the pictures
were done, we went to the nearest
bench.    DemoDeD I went home, and we
stayed until the evening.   Having sent several
people drinking beer, everyone is comfortably seated
opposite the monument comrade.    Lenin with
comrades.  Madge  began diligently
working on creating portraits of everyone
people present at the party, that
It turned out quite well.   Slacky
he made a fuss and took a few more interviews.
Unfortunately, the voice recorder that was brought with
Playgear, refused to record.
The conversation was mainly about plans for
the future, and what can people talk about,
moved to Speccy?!  All expressed
agreement on time spent at the helm and
most likely CSP`2000 has a chance to be in
next year.                           
   All good things must come to an end,
it was the same this time. The day is inexorably approaching
walked towards the end (in the good sense of coz) and
It was time for Kemerovo residents to go to the bus station.
   A funny thing happened at the station...
Everyone is standing, saying goodbye, saying something,
look around. TutaZe Pagan statement
It’s like we won’t leave without an invitation, because
Rather until they personally announce their color
boarding the bus. Ha... If only I could...
Literally a couple of minutes pass, as if from "ma-
flat iron" on the roof of the station, a thumping sound is heard
dispatcher sos:  - Creative group Play-
gear, please board the car
bus, next flight `Novosibirsk-Keme-
rovo`. N do this twice! To the service!!!  Razu-
It seems that to refuse such an offer
it was simply impossible, because everyone
we got up and went to the bus. When Playgear
fully loaded onto the bus,
the people accompanying them cutely covered the dusty
bus with phrases like:Speccy Rulez forever!
and etc...  Having seen off the Kemerovo residents, all
We rushed back to the Opera House.  Hrumer
remained in Novosibirsk until September 10, and
The Omsk residents left sometime on Tuesday, August 24th.
   By the way, Hrumer,Slack Den,Mystery,DrBars
andA.Voxonwas arranged a week after CSP
peculiar hidden Partywith beer drinking
on the banks of the Ob, where traces of
stays of a bunch of spektrumists...In short, it went something like this:
cheerful party of Siberian spektrumists.
N no matter what M.M.A wrote there in his newspaper
about the various parties that took place in
this year, in various cities of Russia, me-
this won't make them any smaller.N let someone
where the organization was poor, the work was old
etc. The main thing in all these events is
This is, first of all, communication with people who
have the same interests, new acquaintances,
development of new projects, exchange of experience,
fresh ideas, and just drink beer with
those whom you see for the first time in your lifeconsidered
you melt into your closest friend. N let
someone will prove otherwise.  These are like this
local parties really unite those who remain
spektrumistov and directed, first of all,
in general, to maintain the platform as a whole, although
in a particular region. Still large
new parties  CC`999, FunTop, Doxycon & etc...
Certainly needed, but not everyone can
get to them, and communicate with your own kind
Everyone wants them.  There's nothing wrong
if someone invites you for your birthday
people from another city (even if they are
This is a big word -PARTY).N I will assure
Ren, what if you ask a participant CAFe`99
or DI:HALT, does he want to repeat the party in
next year, he will answer YES.  Even if
he won't go there again.  I'm not saying anymore
about virtual compo, in which they can
everyone can participate, regardless of place
living.  But you shouldn’t be driven to insanity.
N slogan like: "Give each group its
Party!", is not appropriate here. And the principle:speed
Only groups, so many parties, won’t work.
 P.S. Don't pay attention to this
clever narration of events.  The point is
that the text was written in pieces and then
stuck together.     Because of this I had to
convert everything into text in the format "from
third person"... Well, in general... a story
- it’s still not the same - you need everything yourself
see ;)
