DNA/Digital Decay Rave or
Bringing in the New Year hacker style
Coverage by Arclight and Henge
written 6/95
On New Year's Eve of this year, DNA sponsored a techno-rave for all BBS
users on the member boards. The event took place inside of a concrete room
within a storm drain tunnel, and it was billed as a Pagan ritual to technology.
The event was a hit, and another one is in the works. The following is a reprint
of the DNA-Net ad, as well as a review by an attendee. Hopefully this will
give those in BBS land some ideas for their user meets. Read on!

Attention! Attention! Achtung!
Digital Decay will be hosting a user party this coming New Years Eve. In
keeping with Anti-Everything theme we are proud of, the party will be a Pagan
Tribute to Technology.
This event will be a place for everyone to kick back, listen to cool
music, and eat/drink/be merry.
The main attraction, however, will be the sacrifices to technology. Every
hour until midnight, we will sacrifice one mahine or appliance, such as a TV,
Microwave, or Washer by destryoing it with hand tools and force. At midnight,
will be the final sacrifice and grand finale. (Complete with a cheasy
fireworks display.)
In order for this to be a success we need your cooperation. The following
things are desperately needed:
o Things to destroy, such as TVs, Toasters, and any type of appliance.
o A LARGE appliance to destroy as the finale, such as a Washing Machine,
Dishwasher, or any generally large item.
o Your suggestions on how to make it the best it can be.
If you have any appliances, computer junk, or anything you feel this party
needs, please speak up. The location of this bash will be announced a couple
of days prior. We will be meeting at someone's house (Probably in Fullerton
or near there) and proceding to the "site" from there.
This party is open to anyone, and is being hosted by Digital Decay,
Shipping & Receiving, and Demogorgon. Everyone is invited and it is free.
Enjoy!

Bucket man's description of what happened: (Taken from DNA-HACK 1/95)
Last year I was invited by Grand 11 to go skiing for Christmas/New Years.
We ended up staying New Years Eve in a hotel room, after the three beautiful
girls that had been staying in the room with us decided to leave and sleep
with somebody else. I had expected this new year to begin just as excitingly
as the last one had, but fortunately I was invited to a party...sort of.
I saw a post in the network area about a technological sacrifice, and
Light Ray more or less invited the two of us along for the trip. Though a last
minute change of plan prevented Light Ray from actually attending, Pooh Bear
and I did decide to go. We arrived at ArcLight's house around 9:15, and his
mother gave us directions to where the main group had relocated to. Her
irections led us to a sewer tunnel. Great. We walked through total darkness,
hunched over for several minutes and decided that maybe we weren't going the
right way. We were right. Backtracking, we found another likely spot, and
followed it to a large semi-circle sewer tunnel with an arrow and a light
stick taped to the wall. We went through that until the water got about 7
inches deep, then turned back, very dissapointed. On the way back to the car,
we saw three people who could easily pass for typical modem geeks and
decided to ask them if there was another way to get to the party. Now, keep in
mind that I was dressed in my black trenchcoat and combat boots, Pooh Bear
is on the plus side of massive and it's about 10:00 at night. We were about
100 yards away and had to run after them to catch up...then when we were
about 50 feet away slowed down to catch up the rest of the way at a brisk
walk. They noticed this. They did not seem happy about it. Eventually, we
did sort out that we weren't out to kill them, and got the directions.
We ended up in a parking lot standing next to a fence with signs on it
declaring the opposite side to be Federal Property. (You know, don't go in
here or else we'll prosecute you and put you in a room with Bubba...) We
hopped it and went oevr a hill of rocks only to arrive at a rather large dam.
We went down the hill, trundled through some unidentifiable muck, through the
bars, and up a semi-ladder thing into a 30x30x30 cement chamber with a big
slab of cement in the middle and a few chains going through it. Here, we found
the party.
By the time we arrived, most of the computer equipment had already been
sacrificed, as evidenced by the piles of twisted metal and 5.25" disks. We
talked for a little while, somebody passed around a plastic bottle labeled:
"Urine Sample Test for Hepatitus B: Indeterminate" (I still don't know what
was actually in there, but I'm guessing either vodka or champagne.) Someone
else lit off a bottle rocket, and Arclight introduced me to the fine art of
floppy disk shuriken wars. Eventually, we packed up the gear and trash, and
made our way to the top of the dam for the finale, pushing a small tv off
what reminded me of a man-made cliff and watching it shatter on the rocks
below.
Much better than sitting in a hotel room.
