³C²BHOW THE GATHERING'91 PARTY WENT?³A²A


by ³D²CGrendel³A²A of ³D²CByterapers³A²A


 Finally after months of resting I am able to write something about
da party at Parikkala, by ²HByterapers²A, ²HScoopex²A and ²HBloodsuckers²A
sometime at late-summer.
 Most important thing of all is that lucky me and all it's over.
It was just terrible.
 We, I and Merit, expected that there would come more people, but
just some 230 +- arrived. One possible expnalation is that Merit did
quite a showat the previous party by ²ISociety²A, so most the kids didn't
come. Yes, one remarkable thing was that almost all those kids at
Kajaani didn't show up. The average-age of visitors was quite helluwa
bigger, as just some kids were there, most were 15 or 16, and
all those veterans were present.
 The only feeling I got afterwards is 'good its over'. During following
2 weeks I was completely down, as it had been a real big job.
 Hmmm. I won't give any bigger details. Many people said it was the
best Finnish party they had visited, so seemingly many had good time.
Good for them, I didn't
 It was too big job to handle for 2 guys, me and Merit. All people
were to be looked after, competitions help etc. But time wasn't
enough, and surprisingly many persons refused to cooperate with
the arranging - persons who were 'organizers' there. No names.
Just big thanks to especially our dear Judge, who spent his valuable
time by sitting at the entrance-desk.
 ²OAlcohol²A was again a problem. Luckily, we didn't have any real big
probs but there really was enough of them. 2 guys sprayed walls of
local bank and gas station, but we recognized who they were and gave
them to cops, Heard both were to pay 15000 marks (15 000 each, 30000
total) for them. Luck, boys. Other one was from ²HBloodsuckers²A, other
from ²LExotic Men²A. Beautiful, guess they won't be allowed anymore to
any parties.
 At one time we had cops coming in and out all the time. First time
they came they informed me about the spraying in the city. Also
they were in quite appalling mood, other one said "EVEN THE JAIL
IS SPRAYED". AAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH, that was bad. It was a ²HBS²A guy I
think, or was it ²HAccession²A??????
 Some funny things happened in looking after booze. One under-aged
guy was catched trying to bring booze inside, and naturally we
confiscated them. For hours that guy followed me and Merit like small
doggie, begging to get his booze back. Finally he gave up, after
we threatened to give him to police if he doesn't stop.
 DDT Accession was also veeerry big help, thank man. He wandered outside
at near woods, and confiscated booze from kids. Then he drank them.
HAHA, beautiful, good work Lennu! He walked around with big ²HAccession²A
flag around him and had his attendant-stripe under it in his arm.
For example one kid saw Lennu (who is naturally much older than 18,
unlike that kiddie). Kid was drinking his booze, and then asked Lennu
if he would buy him some more drinks. Lennu said 'No', showed his
stripe, took the bottle from da kiddie, went away and drank it himself.
Big thanks. Also he had good strategy to get more beer, when he saw
someone drinking beer ' I will tell about you to arrangers, unless you
give me some beer too '. Hmm. Now I understand what Lennu meant by
saying 'being a attendant becomes cheaper'. Cheaper for sure.
 Hmm. Communist (Cowboy) ²HBloodsuckers²A, now in ²HAccession²A Party Division,
also had good time. He turned the electricity off at least once from
the main-hall (100+ guys there), luckily he didn't die in the process.
You see, the electricity-connections weren't QUITE well made, in fact
Merit said if some authorities had come and seen those connection
party would have stopped immediately. Not quite lawful, njargh.
Afterwards I had a real laugh, as I was told that some guy was
complaining to some arranger that 'that black coated guy ate my FOOD'.
Oh, COmmunist was hungry, I bet. Quite tough thing to do anyway,
came to someone and eat his food, half a meter from him. Goodie gosh.
 What else? Hmm, beautiful to say but at least all those old farts and
goodie groups were there. Farts: Zados/²GDamones²A (finally out of army he was,
quite strange for him to be a civilian again), Irwin/²GDamones²A
(who once again drunk quite helluwa lot but didn't cause probs),
²HAccession²A guys (Lenny, our usher of best kind; Vyvyan The Ultimate
Bastard, who seemingly enjoyed himself in middle of all those younger
guys, not bad, he WAS quite a show there; Kiiki, the better side of
our-so-dead-Vyvyan-boy, bet she was the inspiration of many scrollies
like "and wow that girl here, real gorgeous, shit she was reserved
otherwise I'd had her all by myself"-style. Good to see you and Mika
again, after this long time! I still remember with pain how you
worked at my hair at ²HByterapers²A Wrecka-party...; Monster, that
always so competent coder; Adept, haha, I heard you was very surprised
I came from army so fast),
Jugi/Proton/Mic Dair/²IComplex²A (good work Mic Dair, you did quite a job
writing all those things around the school, luckily no-one thought
the writings were due the party.)   and whoever there was. I just
can't remember everyone now.
 Some thieves were too. Merit was released from problems of owning
a printer, extra drive, mouse and some stuff. Floyd (???, ex ²GExtreme²A)
was robbed EVERYTHING! YES, EVERYTHING! He lost his clothes, 
deodorant, sleeping bag, EVERYTHING! Also some fucker stole the
disk containing the info about visitors at the party. Damn thing.
Later the file appeared to couple of boards but sysops deleted it
immediately. Thanks to everyone for that! But we would like to have
that file ourselves too!!!!!!!!!!!!! If someone's got it, please
inform me at any board.
 There were good rumours afterwards.
 One said that 2 journalists from ²JMikroBITTI²A magazine (Finland's biggest
compumag) were thrown into jail, namely Jori Olkkonen (Yip of
²IPure Byte²A) and Petri Teittinen (Baron Knightlore / ²I777-Team²A). Also
was told they had sprayed the jail.
 Baroni even wasn't at the party! And Jori wasn't thrown into jail.
Arf arf.
 Another rumour told that booze-drinking went completely wild at
party, but neither this wasn't true.
  Following persons had quite funny time too, names Proton ²HByterapers²AQ,
Reward ²IScoopex²A, Ice ²HAction²A, Python ²HByterapers²A. They suffered from hay
fever, and it wasn't beautilful when they all were together.
  I wont care about telling about the compos, they were kept...
Some weren't as we hadn't time for them.

  Conclusion: one big chaos the party was. Never again anything like it.

 Then, some personal talk.
 I heard some people thought I've become proud (noussut paahan) that
I am the leader of the party. One couldn't be more wrong.
 I just can't understand people, who talk shit and can't understand
what that work was about. Imagine youself, over 200 people to look
after, running 25 hours around, no time to rest and all the time
someone comes knocking 'hey grendel...!'.
 My nerves were from time to time almost breaking up. One moment I
was ready to give up and go home, forget everything about the whole
party. One moment more, and I would have broken - I escaped outside,
away from the party, away from the people and stayed there. Lot of
talking with Turtle and Proton, and I started to feel better, but
still I wouldn't want to return. Well, they forced me back there and
slowly I started to get up. Still, for long time I could do nothing
and I had to lend a helping hand from friends. Big thanks to Lennu
(again!), who kindly kept the graphics compo, as I still couldn't
face the people.
 Time went, and the 64-compo had also to be kept. Then I was in some
condition, so I could do something myself, and later I was almost
myself.
 But I got to say in puclicy, that I WASN'T MYSELF there, especially
during Saturday. Think about one thing, people came to parties to
relax etc? Well, I had my first OWN TIME at SUNDAY MORNING 5.00!!!!!
Before it I had to run everywhere, in many places at once, to keep
thing up. I've never encountered such stress, not a single party
I've been at has EVER been such chaos - and I've already been at
over 15 (fifteen) parties.
 So I want to apologize everyone about my behaviour. Also I must note
that I didn't become too proud about arranging tha party, but
I HAD BIG JOB DOING THINGS THERE! I was busy all the time, and
it really strained me.

 Next ²H(B)²A party? No idea. maybe sometimes, but probably a small
inner-meeting.

  Thank you for your cooperation, citizen.
  Praise The Computer!
