Metrokross
July 4, 1923 hours. EA and FIL at a fast pace were
interviewed as winners. Before the departure of our train
stayed an hour. Konex offered refreshments on the road and look
at the "Shavermu" in Vitebsk station. FIL, GPV, and I decided
not to tempt fate and quick step went in the subway Civic Ave.
So Moscow group was split, and meet we were already in train.
The fact that the subway line, which leads into downtown
from the station "Civic Ave, torn, we knew, but still never on
It is not passed, 3 July, we arrived at CC'999 from metro
"Prospect of the Enlightenment." Nor as organized movement to a
torn area, nor how long it takes to overcome all the way, we
no idea, remained an hour seemed to be sufficient
margin.
Stas Korovin volunteered to be our guide even at the door
school, and now he is not a joke to hurry us. And we were all
More on the way to the subway.
... The twelfth. Late afternoon in the sun
white night. In trading stalls around metro briskly. Phil and
GPV buy drinks for the road, I buy tokens at the ticket office
station - six tokens for three twice, because after the break
point you have to pay an entrance fee again.
On the platform of the station - almost none, watches
measure off ten-minute intervals of trains consisting of only
four cars. Stas drags us forward on the platform, where a
shorter stopping composition.
Let's go. Time of cringes at the sight, it is somewhere in a
hurry, just as we do. Will the Konex, EA, Sister? And Boris
Oper? Boris does not appear on the second day, he had a
business meeting with Nemo ...
Point "gap". Will fly to the surface and is already running,
rushing followed by Stas, who swiftly veers between pedestrians,
kiosks and bus stops. How many of these stops here! We, as
always, is the sequel:).
Despite the late hour, the buses that connect the broken
metro areas, go one by one. Get in the bus. What if the driver
felt that we are in a hurry, I always go there so, but the bus
lurched forward at top speed, so that the corners had to hold
on to the railings so as not to "eject".
Arrived. Dug in the lobby of the metro, I Ghosh slips
through these absurd turnstiles turning krestovinoymyasorubkoy
:-( (and token Phil stuck in the turnstile! Seconds confused
... Scuffle turnstile is not successful! Phil frantically
looking for pocket money to buy a new chip. Money - only the
steward of one piece of paper. And all in cash! But ... all
brilliant - simple, or custom solutions is precisely born in
moments of highest tension, but Phil folds hundred-ruble bill
several times and obtained comparatively tough "subject to"
push through a chip stuck! Green light!
The escalators - running ...
In the train - not looking ...
Arrived; access to the Moscow station. Before the departure
of our train to Moscow - six minutes!
The escalators - running ... But it's been up. And the
platform also run.
Managed.
All of our already in the car. By the hour - is on Monday 5
July. Festival CC'999 turned in yesterday. Phil and EA take
away three diplomas for two. I gratefully returning to George
Valninu (GPV) recorder, two tapes scribbled in different
interviews, and even more different nonsense:). Hidden in case
a photo color film, two black and white films have been removed
earlier in the day. Not yet manifested on the frame - dozens of
individuals and smiles, lots of new friends with whom we knew
only through correspondence or even just heard and met for the
first time. In general, everything went well, it remains just
to say thanks to the organizers. In the two thousandth year
wait us CC'000.
Many thanks to Alexander Filyanovu (FIL / Antares) for
scanning photos and image processing. Thanks to Eugene
Goljakova (Spencer Winset / Diamond Group) and Artem Belozerova
(Real / Diamond Group) for making this festival editions
Nicron-a.
That's all.
