report from weIrd^Psycho
- coffee? in the morning? cold? no sugar? with a sprite?! WANT!!!
I took it into my head to attend this event.. I thought for a long time, it’s worth
whether to waste time and money on a trip to msk.ru, but in the end
In the end I decided that, perhaps, it was necessary, at least for comparison.
The jokes started long before the trip.
three weeks before..: I’m looking for one of the organizers in the ace,
I ask if there are discounts for girls. says there are discounts
only for non-residents, like “if you present a ticket, it will be 50 rubles.”
knightly feelings are completely absent, that means. no you don't
think, I was not weak to pay 100, but girls_free -
it's a matter of principle!
to some phrase of mine he simply responded with an obscene word.
to my remark that when talking with girls you can
hold his fingers, tried to excuse himself by saying that, they say,
My gender characteristics are not registered in Ace. doesn't convince, especially
that in the conversation I used verbs that clearly indicate
female gender of the writer.
A couple of days later I tried to ask something else. asked
twice - I was never given an answer. in general, opinion about
I got it from the very beginning with the organizers "-)
at the party I decided to send a couple of pictures - one with
philosophical bias, the second is just a joke. decided to checkThe armored personnel carriers in the preselect are either normal people. really pulled
almost before the deadline, because my left manipulator malfunctioned,
and it was not possible to achieve the desired effects.
a week before..: I decided not to go, since my salary
I wasn’t paid, and the people I know aren’t very fast
was going to. For some reason I catch spine in the ace. after 5 minutes
conversations with him, my opinion about organizers changed completely ,-)
my decision to go to MR has become almost unshakable, not to mention
about a great mood for the whole week. however, this week we
(Psycho team) also managed to have a thorough fight with T. rexes
regarding the demopathies that are taking place in different regions of our
big and great, but towards the end of the week there were problems
settled down. a grandiose reconciliation was supposed to take place precisely
at the party, but DJ Psych apparently had some doubts
in my ability to cope alone with the t-rex gang,
and he became seriously agitated.
2 days before the deadline..: suddenly a picture appeared,
which was sent to the MR instead of a joke. however, I
I missed the mark: it turned out that not everyone listens to sepultura.
after the hand drawn compo I explained to a couple of people what that meant
the "blob" they saw. as cargo^infinite said, "ah
It turns out that it was not just like that.". ,-)))Thursday..: bought a ticket to Moscow, unexpectedly on the same day
it turned out that a much larger number was planning to go
more familiar than I thought. including DJ Psych himself! and I really
I was afraid that I would be the only one in our group to go to MR ,-)
Friday..: loaded, full of conflicting expectations, into
train and went to see the world. and here I must say that it’s like
it’s not summer, but it shouldn’t have been particularly cold either: I
I looked at the forecast for Moscow - -3/-5 degrees. in fact
It turned out, to put it mildly, a little colder, but these are minor things.. ,-)
day1..:
I’m coming to Moscow, to Leningradsky. 5-56. coming
arriving - Belarusians, 6-26, Belorussky station. where is it
is, I have a pretty rough idea, but
I rely on chance and make a low start. strangely enough, I
arrived at the station exactly two minutes before the train arrived.
and the fish, in fact, is that of all the Belarusians, I’m in
I only remember DJ Psych's face! well, still freax-a, but the interface
the latter during ss000 was, to put it mildly, slightly distorted
the amount of alcohol consumed by the same interface.
and opinions about exactly how many Belarusians are going to come,
were very different from one another: since DJ Psych decided to go,
then with every hour his retinue grew and expanded (as far as I couldjudging by the prints in my guest room). so I was counting
only that there will be few friendly crowds, and in some
From them I will be able to catch characteristic mental traits.
the train arrived. I stand, wait, watch. People. are coming. many. not those.
10-15 minutes have already passed, and they are still missing. I'm turning sour, I think
I missed it. and so, when I was about to turn to
back to the train, and in front to the metro and go down somewhere,
I see a large crowd (6 people with DJ Psych in the center), friendly
walking past me towards the station building. I'm indignant, I come up and
I ask a reasonable question: “young people, can I come to you?
pester? the young people, to their credit, immediately realized that
Why did they get such happiness? :-)
besides DJ Psych, Shaman, DJ MoHaX, Cooler and
DJ Freax. after long and loud greetings was made
a couple of group photos, and then these comrades fled for
a substitute for the object of their passion, that is, beer. everything except
Shaman and Cooler, who betray the glory of their homeland and drink
refuse (Cooler even brought two bottles with him
Belarusian tarragon, which we subsequently lapped up on
party). then I was solemnly presented with several Belarusian
banknotes, one even with an autograph ,-)
at the station we hung out for a very long time, and the next ones inRostovites in the person of Twinzen were in line to meet us.
for which T. rexes were supposed to come to the Kazan station.
Of course, we simply couldn’t miss such an opportunity ,-) in my opinion
According to the data, the Rostov train was supposed to show up around 8:30, so
that just by this time we managed to fall into the subway,
take a ride to Komsomolskaya and freak out a little, looking for
intercity vehicle, which for some reason was not in
schedule. already at the party it turned out that it showed its iron
face much earlier, namely at 6 something.
virtual brothers who were going to be there at 10 o'clock, we
They didn’t wait and cheerfully rushed towards the party-place.
Coming out of the metro, we went to look for the street. let's go there first
where they sent us, then turned us 180 degrees because
the next person pointed in the other direction. after walking a little more,
we caught another one, one word - a Muscovite, and he gathered us
again turn 180 degrees! here we are already together
roared - it is not, of course, intuitively clear that in Moscow
how many people, so many lower May Days, but not to the same level
degrees! ,-) this comrade immediately came to his senses and said that we
Let's go right :-)
here. We got to the party place, climbed up to the third floor - no
let in! It will be too early, they say. ok, but we are the first ,-)settled down in a camp on the staircase, began to come to
yourself. the organizers appeared in the person of the smiling spine,
They promised to start us up in about 20 minutes. arrived soon
satisfied and joyful fat crazer with a voice recorder and accompanying people
faces, began to probe us for our expectations and
sensations. throughout the two party days he never parted with this
with a piece of hardware, walked around the party place and harassed everyone ,-)
not even a year had passed before this cunning thing opened in the wall
a window that needed to be fed finances, and in return it
was spitting tickets (not without the help of the kind people standing behind him
people, of course). 2 things turned out along the way: a) discounts for
there will be no out-of-towners, b) it’s good that you registered, otherwise
I would have to pay one and a half instead of a hundred.
waving our tickets, we solemnly walked inside and
staged a modest striptease, which consisted of removing outer clothing.
after which we were invited to familiarize ourselves with the “waiting room”,
which advice we did not fail to follow. than we are there
we did, I won’t go into detail because I don’t remember ,-)
people began to arrive little by little, inseparable
virtual brothers - Vitalia, Chris and video cameras, soon arrived
EA from Antares, Wlodek Black, then someone else. DJ Psych more
all I was interested in was when they would finally deign to show up.rexes, which resulted in every five-minute exclamations addressed to
each new one (as well as those happily asked for and forgotten)
faces: "Are you a T-Rex?!" this went on for quite a long time because
the team we were looking for was in no hurry to show up for the party.
The party itself was supposed to start at 12-00, before
how long it took us to master the territory and organizational customs.
the first consisted of a long corridor divided into two
halves, between which the entrance was placed. to the right corridor
half of us were not encouraged to come in for the time being, because
there was a large door behind which people gathered at the appointed time
a sacred ceremony aka compo takes place. had to be satisfied
on the left, which is perfectly zipped into the locker room, waiting room,
small bar and toilet. the bar, as I noticed, was not
designed for beer-drinking comrades - the sprite was sold there
only in very large bottles. the option, of course, is to purchase it
in glasses, but with glasses the ability to
mobility and agility ,-)
here. in the end there was a rumor that we were still allowed into
restricted zone, we, naturally, were not slow to fit in there.
As far as I remember, it started with an MP3 component that was broken
into 2 parts: with vocals and without vocals. obviously, according to the "fly" principle
separately, cutlets separately." in the "flies" section there were 2psychotic compositions, but none of them took anything, to
unfortunately =( however, we took ours on mp3 with vocals, which
"Cutlets" took place according to some incomprehensible whim in the very
end of the first day ,-)
By the way, one of the most amazing things at the party was
precisely the logic of passing the components. in a nutshell it was possible
describe it as “random rules!” , -P However, all this was even
cool, in any case, far and for a long time from the compo-hall
It was strictly not recommended to leave. however, we don’t
it was necessary.
to begin with, the music was more or less on topic, people started
warm up. then there were intros.. somewhere between them DJ and I
Psych rushed to walk along the corridor, look at people, and
unexpectedly discovered the long-awaited T. rex. they seemed to be
slightly puzzled and depressed by the embrace of the one who fell upon them
crazy ,-)
here. I remember the day itself rather vaguely, since we merged
putting together the components, walking along the corridor, getting acquainted with hitherto
unknown and communication with already familiar people. and again the component. in
at some point in time our overweight leader reached the point of
completely unable to stand or even sit, after which he was dragged to
waiting room and left to sleep there. towards the end, when it's already
the people began to calm down little by little, we managed to find the exhausted
spine and talk to him for a couple of minutes.then, I remember, I was sitting in the corridor, talking with
people passing by, desperately trying not to fall asleep =)
at this time, some Amiga demos were launched in the waiting room
on the big screen, and a number of people stood on them
stare intensely. it was, of course, for fun, but
for the sake of variety, we are with the shaman and the cooler, having asked permission from
brightest organizers, combined business with pleasure, i.e.
We had some fun playing cards freshly purchased by a shaman somewhere.
After some time, the cooler was replaced by Vital Romanov from VB, but
he only lasted until his first loss =)
soon after that I finally got tired of it and fell asleep in
hugging the first table you came across. true, harsh
I underestimated him, and therefore woke up half an hour later and trudged
for some reason in the party zone. I look into the hall - and there is a man. and him
sausages. and it sausages well. tasty. that is, not just how
at the disco, but in general, specifically, in a cyborg way, even
There is no need for strobes, and his movements are sharp anyway. I'm about 15 minutes
I probably looked at it, because I haven’t seen SUCH sausage yet
I saw it... and where do they get such grass from in the dubna? ,-\n
but drowsiness took its toll, and I returned to my almost
family table. In the middle of the night it dawned on me, as a result of which I
pulled a chair to the table, and put her scarf under her head, toLuckily, it ended up in my bag. I slept until the morning. in
next time I won’t go anywhere without a sleeping bag ,-)
day2..:
I woke up around 6 o'clock and looked around with a blank look.
tables and stager carcasses lying on them, collected her bones in
in a small group and somehow hobbled to the bar, where the Psycho and the Monk were already sitting.
The last one shocked me to the core: he was drinking coffee! how is he doing this
explained, he was no longer able to drink alcohol... crazy,
True, I didn’t reach that stage and thoroughly enjoyed the bottle
beer, simultaneously looking at some faces flickering around
the screen of the TV that was standing there, and complaining about the sickly
size (even compared to DJ Psych himself) of the security guard
Andrew, who, according to him, tried to expose him to
street.
After sitting with them for a while, she went out into the corridor. observed there
woke up nap, who expressed a desire to take a sip of coffee from
bottle in my hands. after that he stated that
he feels bad and that his delicate body does not like such drinks
digests.
returned to the waiting room. some of the people were still lying on
tables, the other part was in a more or less vertical
position the latter included throbs and some others
personality. asking these restless people where they are from
arrived, I received a comprehensive answer: from Moscow. after whichI could barely squeeze out: “What are you doing here?!”
in general, what’s interesting is that people rested on tables under
accompaniment of Amiga demos, were in full combat readiness.
when someone came in inquired, “Is everyone asleep?!”, immediate
the reaction of a certain dizzy (a subspecies of throb-like) was “no, this
hidden party!", which answer still makes me sick ,-)
then, out of my field of vision, a voice appeared, informing us,
that it is possible to purchase some product in
nearest store. declaring that I would like a sprite, I again
switched to power off mode. woke up and found two
nice things: first of all, that mysterious voice
belonged to spine, and secondly, that the kit included a "sprite"
also included chips and cookies, which we gladly enjoyed
We had breakfast.
then the hidden party continued. at some point on
the carcass of an ice dragon appeared on the stage, to the spine's question "are you ice
dragon?" innocently answered "who?" as it turned out, this
a bad person aka radish gave some kind of spine a drink
a substance that made the latter feel ill. hearing this
statement, Izya carefully asked: “Should I pour more?”
The second day itself began around 12 o'clock. people
I was in no hurry to come, so during the first compo (notI remember what it was) the hall was half empty. true, then people
started to catch up, people came who were not there on the first day
- for example, forever young and cheerful tangerine.
the second day, funny as it may be, I remember even worse than the first
,-)
I remember that I was sitting in the corridor with a shaman, but this
it was already late in the day.
Here. Around a quarter to 8 I started to really panic,
because there is only one train from Moscow to Novgorod, and
The prospect of being late for it didn’t seem bright to me at all :-)
fortunately, the train on which the St. Petersburg residents were about to depart
infinite, departed 10 minutes after mine, and mine too
my native team was also not going to leave me to my own devices
fate and wherever, so we began to covet as a friendly cloud
results. the results were amazing - two prizes
places for psychos and one for infinite, and for the latter it was
so unexpected that they were in complete prostration
all the time that we were still with them.. =)
having reached the critical point, we rushed together to the metro, even
without having time to say goodbye to those present. first we wanted a car
catch, then noticed the snowdrifts, speed
passing cars and the number of people in our cloud - and off we went
on foot. more precisely, they didn’t just go, but flew :-)We arrived at the station safely, although we were already there
"lost" infinites. they found my train surprisingly quickly,
we stood near him, said goodbye and I went on my own..
the carriage was cold, and upon arrival in Novgorod it turned out that
thyrimpatura is no less than -30 degrees =/
something like the result..:
Many thanks to the organizers. your sleepless nights and
the hard days were not in vain .-) I think that the majority of the people
agrees with me, and whoever disagrees - well, let them go to the swamp
They will try to do something similar themselves. I hope that in
next year this useful undertaking will have no less
useful continuation ,-) to everyone who was there - good luck! until new
meetings.
