"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 ...
