Events - a detailed report and photos from Chaos Construction 2001 (ending).
CC01
[End. Beginning in room 121. ]
St. Petersburg public transport, as it turned out, has
property shortly before midnight, almost ceases to exist. Five
bus stops on the metro, we leg it for half an hour on foot and
without incident, except for those of orientation according to
the atlas of Leningrad from 1989, in which the names of some
streets no longer corresponded to reality the city St.
Petersburg of 2001.
Stately calm expanse of the Neva night, glare from
streetlights (not broken:)) on the black water - on the one
hand, a continuous stream of cars, a kind of Ring Road in a
nutshell - the other, is Oktyabrskaya Embankment in the August
midnight.
Old and very cute three-story house, giving the facade
almost to the roadway, greeted us hospitably wide open door
entrance. No intercom and combination lock, it's you not
Moscow, then the city is more suitable for life.
Just in case I rang the door of the apartment. Silence. We
got the key, unlocked the door ... Hmmm, strange: in the light,
the sound of TV. "Ay, Chozeba!". No answer. Well, have entered.
In the back room on the couch watching TV - the body. Alive:).
On us - zero attention. "Hello." Those guys. Well ...
"That room, which would be the Spectrum, and will we need" -
I announced. Looked at me with respect:).
The room is really standing on the table Spectrum. Were still
cabinet and a sofa. Sofa painfully cracked when we tried to
it decomposed and did not succumb. Okay, there is still a
carpet on the floor:). The guys decided to drink tea.
Remembering the "body", I suspect, rather than utility if it is
flat? The room - lock the door ... But Among the items of
kitchen utensils all clearly show that economy is common.
Hence, we made the door:).
Drank tea, thoughtfully examining the strip-sticker against
the flies. Flies were many, all the same, some even tried to
move ... Nostalgia.
Played a "rock, paper, scissors", who sleep on the couch.
Max was lucky.

In the morning, took pictures around the house, got on a
bus, which came five minutes before against the schedule.
Near the house, and LAS-
Already on the Prospectus Veterans, standing on the trolley,
met Cusick: "I think many assholes, so I decided to look and
suitable :-)). A joke, I suppose:).
Cusick
In the cinema hall were numerous sleeping carcass:)
steal from weIrd favorite expression:). The people slept, for
up to half of the fifth continued "informal part" of the
festival, anticipation is not fooled:). Seeing the body:) LAS-a
and returning him the key, I asked the "body", discovered at
night in the apartment. "A it means a brother, "- explained the
LAS. The main thing is that everything is in order!
It should be noted that the land of nod did not last the
night, as the early in the morning all sleeping and not
sleeping disturbed some believers (Which in common parlance
called simply sectarians; do not know whether it was true, but
rather true:)). We caught them coming out of the hall, which
still remained the most persistent of the scenery - Three men,
who used the time to access the Internet. A after the departure
of parishioners (coming uhozhan ... As newcomers, and
usheltsy:)) many not have enough sleep visitors CC01 again lay
down on the bench, resulting in even had a shortage of seats in
the hall. One of the encroached on my space I sent:).
And on Friday, and Saturday for some reason I thought of the
deme Placebo, which heroically domuchil still Sairoos,
necessarily would be great and will take first place. Indeed,
there was some inexplicable confidence.
In fact Lifeforms from Placebo was in second place,
losing the work of Stellar Contour of Brainwave pretty decent
number of points. But the continuation was sensational:
receiving a diploma in the first place, Vivid / Brainwave
congratulates ... band Placebo! Subsequently, it was possible
to meet such assessment of his action as courage, wisdom and
generosity, and Meanwhile in the hall applauded Kovrov
demostseneram. Won the friendship! No matter how corny it
sounds but true.
A small but very strong work of the same Screamer-a
actually divided the third place with demoy from Volga Soft,
here already I myself would like to congratulate the author.
Good start!
Completely summarize contests last day of the CC01
organizers failed, but in the main categories the results were
tallied, and winners - are awarded. EA acted as a guardian of
musical competitions, and winners were presented by CD-ROMs.
Something they were given and "hackers" like some piece of iron
for "pisyuka" ;-). The main reward was the same degree, but the
lack of monetary or material awards, according to participants,
are not regarded as a drawback, most importantly, the festival
was held and went well.
Filling the ZX-level competitions and work with dignity
opened page of the third millennium, even the long uncertainty
fate festivals Concern Chaos has not brought confusion. Live,
then!
M.M.A., or Unbeliever
The remainder of the second day was not so large as to
blockages in the Internet cafe or at last visit as follows, in
a historic corner of old St. Petersburg.
Quite a large company we zatusovalis at the Moscow station,
combining a talk and a light supper.
MMA, as always:), gathered a dozen students. But he was not
alone! Near Cusick narrated about his trip from Voronezh to
Peter: "... He looked around - I'm in the car alone. Decompose
on the bench cucumbers, onions, potatoes ... Suddenly includes
controllers! What's wrong with me to take, do not you see? "So
it was getting on eight (!) trains without tickets:). "In
Moscow, FIG will pass, turnstiles at the station! Walked around
the platform by the way. "That She spektrumistskaya wrestler!
Justinas with "bird"
Justinas launched a "child (!) Spectrum printed newspaper,
distributed Klim at the festival. The newspaper is called
"Little Bird" and is accompanied by a heavy black on the cover:
"Kar-Kar!". We povytaskivali and their copies: "Why is
homemade, a plain black and white newspaper about all sorts of
nonsense when has a Finnish printing. Why write about some
unfashionable Spectrum, where there is a fashionable PC. And
what it all means, all these doodle your brain? - Asked
suspiciously most corrosive chitatelishka, and his question
hanging in the air forever. Here is the first number. Good
flying to you, bird! ". Whisk the tears of emotion, read on:
"... piled on the pc or Amiga, and now Spectrum Press barks that
Amiga - rulez, pc - my choice, and the Spectrum - has died.
Dick in there! Spectrum died for you, mudache, and for normal
guys Spectrum will live forever, and yet you, the goats can
survive. Want to hit hard? See a demo! What kind of nonsense?
On the dick of this article here! Quite ptsshniki ohueli, they
already have your cigarettes! Guys, there is an idea to produce
Gandon 'ZX' ". ... Do not think I'll start to shake morale. ;-)
I will not. Moreover, we present here the contact address for
communication with the newspaper and order the following
numbers: Rostov-na-Donu, ul. Bolshaya Sadovaya, 16, Apt. 14.
However, not entirely clear to whom ... In general, in addition
to the staid "Passage" We are witnessing the birth of the same
volume, but quite informal rollicking newspaper, writing about
the serious and frivolous vice versa. Not venture to give a
more specific estimate, because in the presence of so far only
single release, "Birds." But: first, a newspaper, of course,
Spectrum, and only secondly the rest of unprintable:). Third,
clearly marked with serious themes: "Hardware" (such as special
high-speed keyboard), reviews software, reports on events
(Paradox, CC) and so on. And then, Is not it nice, in our time,
instead of something proper, licked, boring and, according to
Christophe, "wretched" (this is about Nicron, of course) to
pick up the print unprintable "doodle brain" of the city of
Rostov-on-Don? I'm not kidding, and no abused, however. This is
a such antipsihologichesky move:).
By the way, "Little Bird" is completely manufactured in the
real Spectrum! Kar-kar, guys, go for more! Be more specific
Information on subscribing to a newspaper - will try to
organize the distribution in Moscow.
... But representatives of the "paragraph" in the CC01 was
not, did not attend either Alex XOR, or anyone else. But in
vain. People asked about the newspaper, and a few dozen copies
of "text" could be realize the mutual satisfaction. Meanwhile,
"Passage" is out for the seventh time, and approach the eighth
room. Translate 10 rubles to the address: 160035, Russia,
Vologda, PO Box 136, Shushkova Alexander Dmitrievich. Do not
forget to clearly write your return address. And in Ukraine got
its own distributor: 79022, Ukraine, Lviv-22, PO Box 798,
Debris Valery; transfer amount UAH 3.
... The train applied to land with a ten-minute delay, the
passengers rushed to take their seats, the conductor hurried:
"How all come into the wagons and go !"...
Suddenly there was a high-pitched girlish scream: "A-ah!"
It's time again you, We know you! "If you get back .... Well,
this is ...!"
Fate decreed that we were not alone have return tickets
on the same train, in the same car and the old place!
Girl, giggling at the bus stop in Bologoe two day earlier, came
to the real horror on seeing in the neighboring areas of the
same passengers, that is personally Max! But, dear reader,
spicy continuation will not: Max was sober! :-))
On the other side of the car window, huddled mourners.
Paracels
Paracels at the station
shouted something, but no sound broke through the double glass.
We had to move to the vestibule of the toilet and continue
goodbye through the open window. Sticks and shook hands,
flashed photographic "soap holders" ... Parting is always sad,
let them all laugh and joke ...
The train slowly moved off. We are back to their seats in
the car.
Pheel / PHT at the station
Screamer ran for gains in the course of the train, caught up
and managed to attach to the window, his hand outstretched,
leaving the original memory handshake on the glass ...
Official site cc01.org.ru, supported BigBlack-Ohm,
was closed after the festival. The forum (a forum on the
Internet - a web-based conference on the site) clashed flows
opposite assessments of the past Stsenovogo events of the year.
Critics led a massive attack on the organizers, the last had
give the same resistance. Everybody loves a winner! Hitherto
reserved Oleg Sergeyev also once ran out of stock of patience
and spoke "from soul. And I was right. Summarized as Paul
Vladimirov, one of Committee members:

Title: Enough tryndet ...
CC just ended, and the heads of the organizers of the spilled
already so much crap. Of course I do not care what people think
there are gray personality behind the nicknames JEka,
WhiteEgale and those with them, which would still be unhappy,
even if it was SS01 to the level of no worse than the same
Asmal, for example, but, unfortunately, General Discussion
Cheap sometimes wins over even quite normal people, so I want a
little discuss this topic.
Let's start with the fact that the party was held only by
almost outrageously crazy BigBlacka (Oleg Sergeev), who decided
to drag myself to a heavy excited organayzinga, for which he
had to score within two months of work, family and everything
else and do just that. Sponsor is not found, therefore, the
organization he has invested all his money - 1300 American
rubles, of which only 500 have returned. But it could spend it
on themselves and their families, because not BigBlack
Showa-Random, for which such money is not a problem, as in
Australia it seems to be not even the biggest paycheck. IMHO,
Big'u need to put a statue during his lifetime, and you are all
here nonsense, pats languages like dibs on the bazaar.
Further, the first night of training on Thursday at
team of organizers was attacked group obkurenyh
personalities of the criminal persuasion, so that part of the
night, it was decided until the next day it was for security
reasons present at the event, there would not help and cops,
because obkur makes people zombies that can mess things up
case is still before him twist.
Yes, I agree, there have been at this flies puncture, but
that they Compared with the past?? Who will say that the
organization last tsetse was rulnee, let the first throw a
stone at me. People are dissatisfied that there were deviations
from the rules and regulations. Yes, in general, and In my view
compliance should be tightened, although that this again will
cause frustration, because in this time were made significant
concessions: for example, the work was taken even in the days
of, although the rules would not have to; cries of Kano led to
erase all the results preselekta schedules and take a
withdrawal will work.
Generally, this party was not the worst, that's for sure.
=== End of quote. ===
At weIrd-ovsky site, by contrast, focused positive. There
was also a Forum organized (acting to this day), posted stories
by various authors, many Photos. Spectrum of work is also
possible to "pull the" there. In the footsteps of CC01 is
promised a special issue of Scream; attention has passed
festival ready to newspaper "Passage" in the eighth issue of
the publication.
The only question that remains open until now, it's
CC02. The people have clearly called for the holding of the next
festival. We can only hope and wait for messages from the
Organizing Committee. C02 - be!
(Note: after the completion of this article received the
news; see the "Afterword").
Boo-boo
Shortly after the release rates Nicron-121 I received a
letter from Dmitri Krapivin aka goBLin - over comments on his
intro. I remind you that leads into the hall announced by
Dmitry phrase "Freedom Sergei Dorenko!". The author of the work
is sent by an official Description:
--- Start quote: --- Intro was done for two days under the
impression from the summer program schedule at ORT, so "Easter
Eggs on ORT" shows Easter screensaver ORT (color display here).
All my attitude toward this channel is deposited in the
512-byte ... --- End of quote. --- That's all, and Sergei
Dorenko, is, incidentally, got his own, then nothing to do
with, and remains entirely on the conscience of a leading
competition Citing the consequences should these things, and
whose denial and apology to the author of the work. Word not a
sparrow - Departure yes as a rebound ... Boo-boo, damn.
Middle finger up ...
Exactly one year ago, a famous musician stsenovy Andrei
Litvinov (LAV) spektrumistov encouraged to participate in one
project, oriented to the CC01. The proposal was this: to
jointly create a song dedicated to the Spectrum and CC; from
the LAV-promised and music, vocals, skilled writing and
placement for Competition mp3; by spektrumistov needed poetry.
Poetry were granted in October and is still taken LAV-ohm to
work. Ten months have passed, came CC01 - the song is done.
LAV-y - a big hello. :-(
Afterword
Over two months have passed since CC01, several developments
have occurred anyway related to the main topic of conversation.
Came the eighth issue of "Passage", is almost entirely devoted
to CC01. My story, the publication of which was completed in
this room Nicron-A, played in a paragraph with minimal cuts.
Also in the eighth paragraph numbers used in my pictures from
the site. It is not clear just why the authors of the review
complaining about the low image quality - ponazhimat on
thumbnails and full-size pictures pootkryvat not allowed (-a)
(-o): a) religion and b) low-speed connection to the server,
and c) lack of funds to pay service provider? ;-)
The second news is also related to the Paragraph, "and is
due to increased Russian postal rates. Alas, now every
newspaper will cost to subscribers is not a 10, and 15 rubles,
and "foreign" to readers - in a buck. Those who paid the eighth
edition of to raise prices, do not have to pay extra. And
others will have to list the new amount, even if ordered prior
facilities.
The third news is also a newspaper. Klim said the
distribution of the newspaper "Bird" will go as follows: the
client sends your e-mail address will be sent to this address
originalmaket from which the customer takes their own copies
and sells them at its discretion. The editorial office does not
require himself a penny! Clim write at:
Grigory Klimenko, 2:5061 / 33.40 - Fido;
klim_cm@mail.ru - e-mail.
Regular mail address was listed above.
Finally, the fourth most positive news: Random (Vsevolod
Potapov) reports on the preliminary decision to hold the same
Next CC - CC20YS or CC20, where "20" means 20 years of the
Spectrum! ZX-Spectrum platform would dominate over all rules of
the new festival. Address e-mail: random@wapnetmedia.com.
Let's wait for the details and look forward to meeting again
in 2002 year!
