Для начала небольшой экскурс в историю: событие под названием Hackers Top (также именуемое Hacker Stop) представляет собой ежегодное собрание спект- pymuctob Беларуси с це- лью... ну как всегда, вод- get drunk and chat with your own kind :) This tradition began in
1997 and continues to this day, although the composition of the participants changes - also people gather who have not had for a long time relationship with Spectrum, but very loving celebrate all kinds of events - so called "hot Belarusian guys" and other cheerful people. But one way or another, further there will be a short story o how this event took place at sunset of the millennium. So December 23 at the bus station "Eastern", where FENOMENs arrived, people were slowly gathering, mostly these were members of 017 ZXNet. With a little late (as usual, only by half an hour :) Sturm and Freeman appeared, and they said that DJ MONK's apartment, on which was planned to hold the main partevents, will only be released by 19:00, so we have about two hours of waiting. Total number of people present counted 13 people. Throughout the entire waiting time Sturm constantly went to call the MONK and all the time to no avail. On the eyes Freeman came across a reference and he quickly attacked her with questions like "There is vodka ?", but she was proudly silent... After that he tried to glue the showdown - in view what he wrote on the emulator DRUNKARD slowed down on real cars, Freeman was awarded the well-deserved title "cool" scener, which is not very good I was happy. In response to my proposal to allocate for him to finish writing the real Spectrum he frowned with disgust and said: "Why it for me when I have a second stump?!" :))) After that he began to complain, what are the best emulators on PC and how? It's bad to write anything on them :) Further waiting passed unnoticed - drank beer, talked, listenedplayer FATAL SNIPE`a. Finally the X-hour has come, and all the company set out and arrived safely at the store area of the MONK's home. After a little half an hour's delay to the store was messengers were sent, and the rest of the the street cursed in incomprehensible terms than and attracted the attention of a certain local drinkman`a (apparently from "bottle hunters group" :)). Freeman every time he speaks "people" added "dot ru", than very quickly infected everyone present. Finally the MONK himself appeared and said, that the house is a bummer, and he urgently needs leave for work. After some time negotiations, it was decided that at the hut You can hang out for an hour. Then, in small groups, people moved to this very house. Drinkman got involved too behind us, but at the entrance it was loaded questions like "do you know Bill Gates?" and "do you know what Spectrum is?", from whom he felt unwell and settled down relax right on the steps... MONK's apartment was undergoing renovations, so there were noticeable seats in his room less than the number of people present. People who was sitting where - for example FATAL SNIPE y Assault on your knees :) To the cheerful Amiga fashion, the first toast was raised -to Spectrum, after which the event can be was considered open. By the way, there was no chandelier in the room, so everything the events took place in intimate twilight :) The appointed hour flew by unnoticed - and we I had to get out. Before this MONK I spent a long time figuring out where we would be so that after work to join in the celebration, and We agreed to meet on Chizhovsky reservoir around five o'clock in the morning :) Then the MONK, taking with him FATAL SNIPE'a, went to work, and the rest already a little amused people moved a little to the sidestops and hovered near the house. The main reason braking was to clarify the question "where go?" The discussion took place very animatedly with constant shouts like "Rulez", "Foreva" and others... Then one of our people noticed that they were coming to us about ten cops are approaching and warned everyone. The most sober and the thoughtful part of those celebrating preferred quietly move to the nearest entrance, taking with you a bag with the most valuable material :) The rest continued animatedly discuss what sax is and what there is rulez, and for them the appearance of garbage was somewhat unexpected. But how always, Assault distinguished himself, loading the cops according to the full program, so there was no need losses. Although - who knows what would have happened, if we hadn't taken the bag away on time? :) Then, when the trash was gone, we walked out shelters and continued the discussion, but so didn’t come to anything concrete, so decided to go to that same Chizhovskoe reservoir, where we agreed meet with the MONK. On the way to Sturm stopped to communicate with cops, and he approached them and intensely rubbed something for a minuteten, after which shook hands with one of them and returned. We breathed a sigh of relief - they thought that he will negotiate until they pick him up :). Then we caught a trolleybus and got to the cherished place where, according to According to Sturm, it was lost a long time ago disk with all sources of the second ZX-ELEMENT`a, because of which everything had to redo it anew :) So, here we come to a small peninsula with the aim of continue drinking alcohol somewhere around nine o'clock in the evening. AND despite the fact that it was freezing outside! But drunk spektrumists don't care about anything, so it was decided to light a fire :))) Taking into account that the place was within the boundaries city, and on both banks of the reservoir there were residential areas, it was very a bold decision. Awesome from my own impudence, we started collecting firewood. Drov there was little, so I had to climb to trees and slightly spoil their condition and appearance, which, however, is not particularly helped, since the branches were wet (a what did you think - winter is still on them there was even snow! :)). Somewhere during for half an hour there were unsuccessful attempts to ignite fire, atthe slightest appearance of flame everyone started jumping together and in unison chant "rulez! rulez!", but then the flame went out. It was even expressed brilliant idea - "Let's drink faster vodka, otherwise the cops will take us away sober!" and along the way it was skipped "a couple drops." On the shore itself were discovered thickets of dried grass (as I said :)), and everyone present was invited go to "lake tochka ru" and do replenishment of fuel reserves, which was done. "Elephant" Assault managed to break through ice with its weight and get your feet wet, but in In his condition, this did not upset him much. After this, attempts to light a fire began more successful, and the “process” of marking began with new power. Happy people jumping near the fire, he was already shouting "Vodka, Spectrum, TR-DOS - connect!" :))). The assault very quickly reached condition and "the earth began to lie around." The rest of the people tried to keep the fire going by climbing trees and breaking them :), and of course not forgetting to skip "in pairs drops." Most of all, maintaining a fire ROMA and BLASTER were engaged, for which they were called "main kactpatukamu" :) Freeman, as usual, faded quietly - It’s like he went to take a leak and didn’t come back. Sturm was also carried somewhere, but he was far away I couldn’t leave because I often fell :) Roma and I caught up with him, and despite resistance, dragged him to the fire and they put him on a sack so that he wouldn’t go numb finally. Sturm sat looking like Associate Professor ("I'll gouge out your eyes, tear your mouth") and stared from under his brows at everyone around him, as if he really wanted blinkers poke and tried to say something inarticulate, which amused the people. Others discussed writing problems music, creating adventures like "ZN" and othersproblems. Vodka gradually was ending, the people were good too, and the time was approaching twelve - in the end we thought that we wouldn't be there until five in the morning We'll hold out and decide to leave. And the fire by this time I was in general in full swing, we even regretted not taking potatoes with you :) But who knew that it will all turn out like this... By the way, the cops are behind we never arrived. The fire was extinguished "in nuohepcku" and We headed towards the stop. Roma and I tried to lead Sturm, the rest walked a little behind. I tried make people move faster get home in time by public transport transport, but people didn’t care, so Roma, Sturm, and I feel strongly about them came off. Roma went to his home, and I took Sturm to his lair. Despite his condition, his autopilot was working excellent - he himself reached the desired stop and went straight to the house, and at stood firmly on my feet :) Then I went home, and the rest of the people went to BLASTER, whose home could already accommodate a considerably thinned-out company. There are hackersthe top continued until the morning... ...And overnight snow piled up - just creepy :). I even thought how fun it would be it would have been if we had stayed on the lake until morning :) The next morning, the people who celebrated at BLASTER's, stocked up on vodka and went to continuation of the banquet to the MONK, where the rest (mostly non-spectrumists) already were drinking. There they were shown a big fig, then there is a door slammed in front of your nose, preferring local booze. After which they decided to continue with BLASTER, but he there was no home, and therefore they were decided to go home and get some sleep, and vodka to hide for later. (How it later turned out to be “later” it's coming very soon :)) Somewhere after lunch he called me DEADMAN, and said that they were together with ZEG/FENOMEN and IGOREM/AST for the second day already are in Minsk and are hungry for hackerstop :) Almost allour people slept off after yesterday, but we decided not to deprive attention of out-of-town guests andcontinue holiday. The arrow was hammered at the station. K ZEG/FENOMEN had already left for our arrival there to themselves in Chausy, but those who remained were in excellent mood. While we the rest of the people were waiting, was noticed Mast who was very thirsty for someone call long distance. Then he a little stood with us, complained about his hard life - that there is no money to upgrade pisyuk, - and left, saying: "Here If it weren’t for work, I would have gotten drunk with you!” Well, we went to a small cafe under open air, where we continued celebrate hackerztop. Here it is the vodka I had drunk in the morning came in handy :), although I still have to run to the store a couple more times I had to. During the drinking session it was discussed the position of Spectrum and its fans in Brest region, as well as further prospects :) In the process of drinking, come to us constantly pestered by drinkmansand others homeless people, but we held onheroically. On throughout the entire drinking session DEADMAN reminded Igor to call his wife, but he constantly made excuses that he would have time :) DEADMAN got there before everyone else, and drunken head he began to load everyone, like he lives well in Pinsk (where he fell according to distribution), what are there good girls, and how he got screwed dorm - they promised to put you in a dorm medical school, and settled in a river dormitory port... :) Then he used a thick marker tried to write a letter to my sister MIDNIGHT, but he’s bad at it it worked... At this moment before us the evil cop got in his way and told him to get out, threatening to take us away for"drinking alcoholic drinks in a public place" but we didn’t pay attention and continued. A few minutes later he came down again and started to run into us, and we reluctantly left... Gradually we moved to the nearest square and settled on one from numerous benches. Then when everyone felt already quite good, we also went get some beer (with tangerines :)) and let's go buy train tickets (DEADMAN with Igor went to Borisov). Subway passedok, no one figured it out :). Near There was a little joke at the ticket office: several people were seen with guitar, and Igor reached one of them with questions like "Do you know Masta? Do Snipe's fatality? So what are you like #$% after this musician? :))) Gradually departure time was approaching trains, and MIDNIGHT and I went imprison DEADMAN and Igor. Along the way we passed a bunch of cops who are on us looked suspiciously (especially at DEADMAN'a, which followed the sine), but no one bothered us. When we finally reached the goal, DEADMAN was loaded onto the seats, and Igor came out carriage with us in front of departure of the train. And here we stand we talk, and we see, as if in the vestibule a figure of DEADMAN falls out and several once falls deliciously to the floor, overturning a bottle of "honey" :) Somehow on my feet it was installed, but not for long... When the doors were closing, Igor stuck between doors your shoe, which is very jammed well in the door. So the train and got under way, and Igor’s desperate attempts there's no way to free your legbrought (to in the background it was clear that he was being helped DEADMAN :)). Finally this (protruding leg) The driver noticed, stopped and opened doors, freeing her. Then the train continued moving, and MIDNIGHT and I let's go home. Upon arrival in the glorious city of Borisov DEADMAN and Igor finally ended up in mentovka, but "this is completely different history," and let them tell it themselves its participants. At this event hackerztop 2000 is over. Everyone thank you, everyone is free, see you at hackerztop 2001!
