=============================================================================== | Area : RU.HRG.SCENE (Elite ASCII Club) | From : Vladimir Bondarev, 2:5061/53.35@FIDOnet.org (29 Aug 99 23:16) | Subj: paradox =============================================================================== yo_ paradox'99 official report day one I arrived at about 9 o’clock, eager to help the organizers. long wandering around an area unfamiliar to me (there was a map, but there were no indications on it - we have some "little things" that would make the search much easier), I still I found Lermontovskaya and DK. But the big doors in the building were closed, and They looked as if they had not been opened for a long time. I moved on. having passed a couple of houses, I decided to ask a passing grandfather. "I don't know, I never- Yes, I didn’t hear :(" I started to return and saw a couple of people standing at an incomprehensible door with a sign "bar". I looked closer and found it hard to notice half-erased inscription "DK Empils". found it. I approached one of the guys and asked: "Are you on paradox? Is twinsen here?" as it turned out it was a Twinsen they don’t know, and none of the organizers have been there yet. I began to wait. About half an hour later the Gazelle arrived and the audio equipment was unloaded from it. tour. By this time a crowd had already begun to gather. when two, comethose who were carrying the equipment began to carry it (there were two huge and heavy bad speakers and a bunch of other things), then no one “heard” the request for help. a joker appeared from somewhere, and the four of us pulled in the last column. soon a twin arrived with computers and other nasty things :) and all this on- I had to drag it inside. the gathered people drank beer with might and main and shouted loudly whether. as it turned out, vote forms were distributed not to those who wrote the application, but to everyone in a row and many took more as souvenirs for themselves, friends and grandparents darling :) then from a large folder they took out the posters that were ready only in the morning :( and me, pst and the girlfriend of the guy who brought the audio equipment - tour. In general, we put up posters on the streets that were nearby, for so that people at least know that they are going right :) when I return - were at the cultural center, then a bunch of drunk stagers :) took apart all the remaining posters (when I returned home in the evening, I didn’t have a SINGLE STICKER STICKED BY US THE POSTER WAS NO LONGER AVAILABLE_ :) the organizers were tense, setting up the equipment, the drunken participants ki (there were few drunk people, but almost 80% were under the influence :) they drank beer and yelled. Then they couldn’t stand it anymore and burst into the hall to take their seats. generally About 2 hours ago it all started with AY music compo (I think, I don’t remember exactly :), no, I didn’t drink, I just have sclerosis :)). played three songs, and on the fourth, the author of the playing composition noticed that there was no channel B (wellHow could we live without it when there are only three channels :). actually started again fuss, then they determined that the wire had broken, fixed it, and started again times, from the very beginning (by that time, from Spectrum music I had I started to have a headache :), but they broke down again, because... something happened to Spectrum, the Spectrumists all pulled out of their wide pants... pa- yawlniks, and not what you thought :) and, sitting down on the floor, they began to solder this is a miracle of technology :) it all ended with the announcement that zx would not be there today :) By the way, during fairly long breaks, Warhawk loaded everyone with demos. after the third or fourth, people were ready to kill him, since such The number of demos was immediately overwhelming. there were long shouts of "hurray" and whistling caused by the video clip "Titanic" to the music of hrg (by the way, I recently saw this mp3 with the name pseudo-Titanic, and with information about creators (for the second time, the first was titanic_rus.mp3 :( )), and a demo t-rex'a "overmind" (piece with Yeltsin :). then there were mp3 & tratinional music compos, which made me very happy get out. in mp3 music they shouted hurray popsnya.mp3. By the way, the vote was on 10-point scale and while playing/displaying music, pictures, de- The creators of the mock were not named. after they showed 64k intro. there were eight of them in total, but six discu- lified, since they were already on ss999. (hmmm.. I'm not sure whateverything went in exactly that order, but who cares :) then they announced that the first day was over, and a little later there would be disco, and by tomorrow everything will be set up and everything will be fine :) I left before- mine, as I later found out that there was no disco. By the way, on the first and second days there were small children running around the hall posters of paradox and wearing "fatherland" caps 8) day two. well, I must say that it started almost on time, although there was a delay due to the arrival of the Don-TR television and radio company, which was illuminated by a spotlight rum in everyone's face, they took it off and left. and the next day they showed about a cut and shortened report, crap and messing everything up. Actually, I don’t even know what to say. I liked it. delays in practice there wasn’t, although the warhawk’s phrase killed me: “wait, I’ll dis- I'm packing up my work" :( there were people who were sleeping because... spent the night on the street, in attics, station and no one knows where. they burned posters of paradox, shouted mastday, but somewhere in the middle the organizers managed to make everyone feel sad be good and love the paradox :) with your good work. but the ending is ruined everything. one of the organizers said: "blah blah blah, sorry about screw it up, thanks to the sponsors, put your voight forms on stage, paradox finished." and not a word about when the results will be. they just started quickly collect and take away the equipment... :(Well, what haven’t you written yet? most of the people, oddly enough, were not from Rostov, and from Armavir, Voronezh, Krasnodar, etc. etc. total about 12 cities. I remember two big %) dude from RGTS, who installed cdma phone (and constantly sat next to it :) and asked for the project re shown the RGTS page. and during loading "super-booper cdma connection" lost :) Moreover, all the intros and demos on the zx on the projector were black and white. I had to turn a very small TV :) towards the audience. Well, that's probably all. but I can say with confidence that para- dox2000 will be much better (not because I joined the organization - torov :), because We started preparing for it now, we took into account all the mistakes, well, etc. etc. and trrrrrrr... :) ite, missa est, All compos sui, KiLLaMAN // nRg -+- thE^pOWEr^of^thE^WORdS + Origin: GY (c) nRg (2:5061/53.35) ===========ReadMeAgain====================================================================== Get Msg, All!
