About everything - party zone: MMA report on the trip to Enlight 97 - day two.

The second day of ENLIGHT was killed!           
                                          
                                          
                                          
We  with  ALK arrived at about 9:30. Crowd
there was  but  it was smaller than the first one
day.  People frantically tried to read and
understand  the contents of  two handwritten sheets
wok hanging on the wall. Briefly they contain-
The message was this: "Suxx has come, everyone can
be free, we will post the works on BBS,
ka..."                                    
                                          
Toughened  in the fight against bureaucracy, people are not
dispersed and continued to hold the defense.
Kwe have  approached BEERMANS, TOX and SAT from
MEGACODE and two guys from Ulyanovsk, sitting
who were on the next row from us in the hall yesterday.
Together  we expected something. Someone behaved

 various inscriptions began to appear. Especially
remembered:

              WHAT NEXT!??

these results are incomplete,  since many

E'97 would have been a total waste of any results.

by the looks on their faces, for many it was a revelation.

Left from self a member of HRG
I took off my T-shirt with the emblem
E'97 and proclaimed her solemn combustion
life  The T-shirt  was hung  on  sharp
spire of the fence and to the sound of cameras on-
started to set fire.  AND  although there was a
used solid petrol igniter
ka, T-shirt  I didn't want to catch fire. In the crowd
shouts were heard: "ENLIGHT is not lit!!"
counterbalance  this T-shirt suddenly began to smoke and
engulfed in flames, it began to burn.
                                          
                                          
                                          
                                          
                                          
                                          
                                          

                                          
Burning was the last interesting moment
volume at the VoenMech building and upon its completion -
together with the Ulyanovsk residents we headed
to where  should  be hidden part. Place
it turned out to be a shady parktwo steps away
from the institute.                             
                                          
The people drank, and drank in a big way. Still sober
guys from LOGROSA tried to interview
the rest  realized themselves in mortal lying-
niya on the grass. The main contingent of drinkers
were  HACKER  CRIS, DIGITAL REALITY,
V. Mednonogov, SPB and MOSCOW ZX-NET.        
                                          
After hanging out  for about an hour, me, ALK and the guys
from Ulyanovsk came to the conclusion that for us
ENLIGHT'97  has ended  and it's time to move on from here
go.  We decided to walk a little around the city
duh, and to say goodbye, I took a photo of the party-
running park.                               
                                          
Our hike  through  the streets of St. Petersburg was not successful
success.  The only   attraction-
tality  turned out to be semi-dry channel, yes
street with the name "STAROMALODETSKOSELSKY
DIRECTION".Under this impressive name I
did  the last one, on   mine look,

After walking a little more along the streets of St. Petersburg, we
oddly enough, we went to the meth station again
ro, the institute and finally the park. For interest
ca  I suggested coming in and seeing what's there
is going on. And what was happening there...................
                                          
                                          
                                          
                                          
                                          
                                          
                                          
                                          
                                          
                                          
                                          
                                          
B  park everything  remained unchanged, for
with the exception of the degree of intoxication of those gathered.
More and more people were lying directly on
grass, some tried to sit, but they
this was difficult to achieve.                  
                                          
                                          
Having examined this entire drunken community, I
laid  the rest to go a little further, in-
intuitively anticipating  something  bad. All
agreed, and we set up our camp at 30
meters  from the main crowd in the depths of the park.
Immediately   presence caught my eye
guardians of the law. Two of them constantly talk about
walked here and there, making their way around the crowd
along  a large  circle.  This pointed  to
sad reflections,  however, the police
did not show aggressiveness and simply observed
gave a look at what was happening.                     
                                          
                                          
Other visitors to the park were pensioners
ry, settled down with newspapers on benches.
They only occasionally looked up from their task.
Concepts  and looked around those gathered  prickly
glances.                                
                                          
For half an hour we sat and  just took a break from
this entire day. There was no longer any desire to drink,
and the desire to eat has already been killed. Periodically
the thought came to go somewhere, but go
there was nowhere and we continued to remain in
park.                                    
                                          
The people have reached full condition. DIGITAL
REALITY and someone else started a game of football
empty  plastic bottle, one
the comrade was dragged about 50 meters straight through the grass,
fairly  dotted with  human and dogs
excrement,  heard  loud screams
"RULEZ","MUST DIE" and of course "FOREVER".
                                          
                                          
Suddenly he separated from the crowd and headed towards
us man. On his way he was identified
is named asrepresentative of the local ZX-NET.
That's what  he turned out to be! The one who came up loaded
us with two interesting facts: 1) The cops were bought for a bottle of vodka and therefore
no one is touched.                        
                                          
2) Entrance to ENLIGHT'97 was paid!        
                                          
Well  on  about  vodka  we can’t argue with him
steel,  but the topic of paid entry is for everyone
interested.  It turned out that  that it is in
chemistry  with a couple more local schemers
printed tickets on a color printer, where
would you think? ...at ENLIGHT'97. Price bi-
summer was  5  etc. (in my opinion) and they are very
good  dispersed in St. Petersburg! AccurateI don't remember the amount amount I didn’t remember, but it was
quite  decent. Having provided us with this valuable
information, the comrade headed back to
hanging out, who by this time had begun
actively sing songs from the repertoire "KI-
BUT".                                      
                                          
                                          
You should illuminate  one of the attributes of this
parties -  ENLIGHT flag. He represented
is a piece of red (!) canvas, nailed
to a  long  wooden  stick.  On the front
on the side there was the inscription ENLIGHT, and so
aka VIRT GROUP, ANARCHY, RULEZ and something else.
So about the flag....                       
                                          
                                          
To  the moment when  our guest has already reached
crowd, the following happened: people gathered
in a circle, and in the center proudly fluttered above-
writtenflag.  Next  everyone started singing... Anthem
Soviet Union,and you had to see it!
                                          
                                          
                                          
Pensioners instantly threw down their newspapers and
stared  at  an unprecedented  spectacle - the crowd
youth sings a patriotic song
under the red banner!  It was real
the apogee of the hidden part.                   
                                          
Not  more than ten seconds,as if spellbound,
we saw this picture. Then it dawned on me
thought  to take  a photograph of this process.
Of course, a photograph could not convey
that Hi-Fi DOLBY SOUND, which stood in
park,  but at least it would capture
the action itself. And before I had time to unfasten my card-
man bags like entering the park through the main entrance
at  crazy speed  two or three drove in
cars with a blue paint job.         
                                          
A few more  seconds the four of us stood
like paralyzed but then I decided to take
situation under control and gave instructions to the medical
slowly  go to the end of the park. Nobody knew
is is there  other  output or  no, but
distance  in  40  meters to police cars
gave  a head start. Ulyanovsk residents broke out
ditch ten ahead and moved confidently
to the intended exit. No one looks back -
fell...                                  
                                          
And  finally an opening appeared in the fence,
which could be climbed safely.
In  this the moment  rear sounded
authoritative voice: "Guys, wait!".Ober-
When we woke up, we saw a man "executing
NI". Apparently telepathically from someone
we received  an offer to run, fortunately
ment was still far away.  Also telepathically
I offered to stay because I saw it
the only way out.                       
                                          
Coming closer the cop began to
the most detailed study of our personalities, documentary
cops  and  things.  He mistook the Ulyanovsk residents for
local due to the lack of they have bags, well,
and seeing our Samara registration with Sanka,
ku, he began to take decisive action. 
                                          
The first requirement was to offer
show something like a residence permit
in  city. After a short  squabble
quite  arranged our tickets from Samara and to
Samara.  Then he began to inspect things.
                                          
During the search process, someone asked: "What,
Actually, are we looking? The answer  was short:
"Vodka, drugs."What does vodka have to do with it, I
I still can’t understand, but in any case
In tea we had neither one nor the other.    
                                          
                                          
Meanwhile, ten meters away, behind
cop,  were sitting  his brothers in mind - those
the ones who were given a bubble, according to the statement
ZX-NET'chika. Judging by the gestures, the cops are busy
were the arrival of this very bubble!  
                                          
After finishing the search, “our” cop accidentally dropped
my pseudo-"Commander" watch,motivating
this is because they are still shockproof.
After thinking a little, he asked a question about the reason
the entire this  gathering. Approximately my dialogue with
it was like this:                            
                                          
  - What are you doing here?             
                                          
  - Well, we have here is a computer competition
hey, ENLIGHT is called...               
                                          
  - What is this?                       
                                          
  - Well, when there is music, graphics,  programs
all sorts of  people  from  different  ends  countries
they come. You yourself  see, everything seemed to be fine
good, but the St. Petersburg ones went a little too far and
got along. Here you are...               
                                          
  -  Oh, I  understood  now,  you have it here
"pointing" passes, that means!             
                                          
With this statement the cop killed everyone outright.
Only after walking away a little did I dare to ask,
how often did the cop have to disperse the
intovki". The cop remained silent, because probably
I was a fidoshnik myself. Having become completely bold, I asked
lastly about the reasons for coming to the park
so many people "on duty".
The cop answered simply: "People living in
houses,complained about your noise."          
                                          
Answer  This one was absolutely great! If
look at the park from where we are
he entered after a party at VoenMech, then
on the left and at the end of the park there are dilapidated
barren, abandoned houses, and on the right - built
creative platform. What kind of tenants are there at three o'clock?
nights ???                                  
                                          
However,  this the fun  has not ended.
Continuing  follow in the same direction,
as for the cop, we left the park and passed
a couple of houses, we came across a large ant -
nickname (police department). Now it was clear
which "tenants" were unhappy with the noise.     
                                          
                                          
I was so I couldn't take any photos
final parts  hidden  part.  And  here
EXPLODER and VISUAL, which were in
this moment on the other side of the park behind the
gladly, according to Viktor Moskalev, they did
several  excellent frames.  Apparently this
the only documentary confirmation
what happened.                             
                                          
                                          
This, in principle, ended the second day
ENLIGHT for us.                        
                                          
                                          
                                          
                                          
                                          
The remaining two  days spent in St. Petersburg,
were little  interesting from a computer point of view
vision. Although on Monday we are  about six
sat for hours in the firmSCORPION,where is the best
real men led by VIKs and Fomin
showed and even let me hold all the relics
vii company. Among them were GMX board,
red  number  proprietary cassettes, as well as
real  SPECTRUM (like 3+) from which
filmed  scheme SCORPION and LASER package
GENIUS, became the basis of the "shadow" project. C pos-
with the last two relics we even managed
take a photo. By the way, for the photo I
I say thank you to the guys from ANTARES, with
who we are thereвстретились.

Итак,   что   же   я   вынес  для  себя  с
ENLIGHT'97? Многое... И в первую очередь я
понял, что дальше так жить нельзя!        
                                          
Организация  самого  party из рук вон пло-
хая.  People worked all year, prepared,
and  their work either completely flew by (all on
RS  and  music on ZX), or were shown in
such  poor  conditions that it is shown
difficult to name.                           
                                          
However  party  for SPECTRUM now you need
like never before. If at E'97 we see a strong
Russian  demo scene + very interesting
foreign  works  (in  including completely
foreign!), then with the disappearance of ENLIGHT
hardly any growth trend in demomacking
will remain.  A  after all  now  our demo,
for example SHIT  4  BRAINS  and not included in
ENLIGHT'97  demo  SPIRIUS  (from the creators
SPAZM), are very solid
in  plan concept and work scenario. This
is no longer SHOCK, LYRA II or INSULT.
Really interesting "adult" works - here
what is this!                            
                                          
                                          
So what about the party, you ask me? Everything
under control! While in fido-echo ZX.SPECTRUM
ongoing  empty debate  about  revival
ENLIGHT,  bye JOCKER calls us all to
Sochi, in the capital of our homeland, is already underway
cooking. As far as I know, in August
next  year, in Moscow  will take place
local  with BC-MANIA  party  with  all sorts
COMPO,  prizes and all other things.
3a organization of this event is undertaken by MAGIC
SOFT's and PROGRESS.                        
                                          
                                          
 Let's wish them good luck in this difficult task!  
                                          
                                          
In  as a conclusion, I'm crazy
I want to  write prophetic little lines
famous  Russian poet  V. Mayakovsky:
                                          
        I believePARTY there will be             
                I know, SPECTRUM exists!    
          When such SCENA               
                in the Soviet country there is...
                                          
Р.S. As music for this article (ears
do they hurt yet?)  was used unfinished-
ny  SOUNDTRACK k NOUMENON' - our
ENLIGHT's demo. Unfortunately, DAGMA is not
managed  to finish this melody to the end, he
drafted into the army. And MMSM from SAGE GROUP, es-
naturally  could not write to us in two days
quality music. Moreover, he himself
only  a week since I came from the army. Yes and
KSA SOUND TRACKER PRO, dog, wrong
I compiled the whole thing.  That's why  
mu  SOUNDTRACK to NOUMENON turned out to be
really miserable...   Bye! CUL8TR!
                                          
By  the moment this issue of the magazine was published, we
got simply huge (compared to
previous numbers)  number  letters.
Most "expressive" works in
placed below.                              
                                          
For unknown reasons, Mr. R. Atrides
I couldn’t collect and arrange this for a very long time
section. That is why  (as always) came
elk I need  (M.M.A)  take everything into my own hands.
The first two letters have already  been commented
vans, but I added a couple of my thoughts as on
the text itself  letters, so and on the comments
Atrides. That's how things are!                
                                          
                                          
  Well,  a now let's move on to analyzing the most
more  interesting on  our look  mail,
arrived after the release of the third issue.
