»CL0: Phat #1 Party Report
»CL6:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Written by »CL5:Nosfe
»CL1:There were 12 of us Finns present,
Dead Meat, 216, Lobotomy, Deeq, Shape,
Kure, Thg, Melwyn, Droid, Tundra,
Titti, and I (Nosfe).
»CL8:Droid fell into the river. »CLC:<--
»CL7:Laku smuggled beer to Estonia. »CLB:<--
»CL1:This Friday morning, 21st of
September, I woke up sometime around
9am. My head was aching. I had a gig
at "Gloria" last night and had enjoyed
some of the nice cider they offered to
the artists backstage. I decided that
I was feeling too weak to visit work
before going to the ferry terminal, so
instead I just tried to get better and
finished packing for the trip.
I went by Metro to the central railway
station of Helsinki, exchanged some
money at the "Forex" before walking to
the ferry terminal, just picking up
some food on the way.
216 and Dead Meat were already there
when I arrived. We were wondering how
many people were coming and if we had
enough ferry tickets. Thursday night
Droid had told us that Tundra had some
tickets reserved, but that there would
not be one for Dead Meat, whom had to
buy one himself.
Finally, after an hour or so, everyone
had arrived and was ready to go to
Phat#1. »CL7:Surprisingly, there was also a
girl, Titti from Oulu, whom nobody
knew before»CL1:. She had found out about
Phat#1 while lurking on the altparty
mailing list.
After a bit more waiting everyone had
his or her tickets and we went to the
ferry. We soon found some nice leather
couches inside (which for some reason
were free?!), ssettled in, and started
boozing, naturally.
We also bought some nice stuff from
the tax-free shop on board.
After a while, we arrived in allinn
and miraculously we managed to get
through customs without too much
trouble. (»CL6:Laku was taken into
inspection because he had way to much
beer, but for some reason they did not
give him a fine, just a warning!»CL1:)
Kure had arranged a taxi for us, so
when Laku finally got out from the
rectal inspection, we continued our
journey to the bus station to buy more
tickets.
»CL8:Shockingly, we could not buy return
tickets for everyone and therefore
Hannu was left without one.»CL1: Titti also
bought a return ticket for Monday. At
last, we managed to get on the bus,
just some ten minutes past its
original departure, no thanks to the
amazingly SLOW girl in the ticket
office.
»PIC:3.iff»
We began the next part of our journey
enjoying some Jägermeister, Stroh, and
Hirmu magazines. Invasion 97 party
report was quite nice stuff to read. I
want to see more Hirmu magazines being
published!
We arrived at the Latvian border where
a Russian-looking female officer came
to take our passports. "OPEN, OPEN"
she yelled to the stupid Finnish
people who did not know how to open
their passports the right way. The bus
driver was screaming at Hooligan
because he had left his passport in
his bag.
We got even drunk, and even closer to
Riga.
»CL7:At some point Hooligan received a SMS
message from Raver telling that he had
been robbed, and lost all his money.»CL1:
Some of us got a bit frightened about
this incident and some went so far
that they hid their money in their
socks, rectal holes and wherever..
At 19.50pm local time, we finally
arrived at the Riga central bus
station. Raver and some other
Lithuanian guys were waiting for us
(can't remember their names.)
We tried to find a place to exchange
some currency, but the place was
closed and instead we took a bus to
the party place.
When we got off the bus, we saw a gas
station, which offered some very nice
items for sale. »CL8:Vodka, beer, and porn
- what more does a scener need?»CL1: Well,
some coals for the barbeque, which we
also bought from the gas station.
However, after walking another 2-300
meters we finally arrived at the party
place, which was located on the fifth
floor of an industrial building.
»CL6:The place was kind of cool. It was a
couple of big dirty rooms in a
hardcore condition, just perfect.»CL1: In
one end of the main party room, there
were some computers on a table and a
quite large sound system. (Well,
actually these arrived a bit after
us!)
Of course, we continued boozing.
There were not that many people there,
twelve of us Finns and then a few
Latvians. It was okay though and soon
we were becoming quite happily drunk.
Eventually, we went out to buy some
food (MEAT!)
We bought some ignition fluid for the
coals at the gas station and went to
the riverbanks finding a nice platform
for us to booze. So we put some coals
to the ground, some ignition fluid on
top and voila, we had a fire!
»CL7:We boozed and barbequed our meat
(we bought a shitload of meat from the
shop.)»CL1:
A few Latvians had joined us and Droid
and I talked to a spectrum graphician.
People were pissing in the river and
having a good time. »CL6:Suddenly, Droid
wanted to piss on the wall, just next
to the fire. Thg told him not to do it
and instead "Mee sinne jordaniin
kusemaan" (go into the river for a
piss). Droid did as he was told and
after 3 seconds, we heard this massive
splash when he found out there were no
stairs he could climb down.»CL1:
Fortunately we managed to get him out
of the river, but it took some time
for him just to get back to the
surface and a couple of minutes for us
to lift him up, he's quite heavy.
He was soaking wet.
He took off his shoes and gave all his
money to 216 thinking that while he
was so fucking drunk he could not
trust himself, and then Jarno was more
reliable concerning these things.
We boozed some more.
Raver also came to booze with us.
We cooked some meat and ate it.
Around 3-4am, most of the other Finns
left the fire. We were now just Droid,
Raver, a Latvian guy, and I at the
fire. We boozed some more.
»CL6:When we went inside, we found that all
the other Finns had passed out,
lamers»CL1:. A couple of Estonian guys had
arrived and I tried to tell them about
altparty. We kept on boozing while
being inside. I passed out around
06am, I think. Droid continued to
booze for another couple of hours.
On the way in from the riverbank, we
went to the gas station and bought
another bottle of vodka.
"I want some vodka", "Which kind?",
"What do you have?", "One litre or
half a litre?", "One litre", »CLC: "Do you
want juice?", "No, I'm from Finland!".»CL1:
Other Finns woke up before I did and
they were going out to eat. They were
noisy and woke me up, so I joined
them.
»CL8:The restaurant was quite an
experience. There was an old Latvian
woman who did not even know one word
of English»CL1:, so they put food on some
plates and we had to point our fingers
to what we wanted. Mostly she
delivered what we wanted.
Anyway, the food was cheap.
Some of the Finns then wanted to go to
the city, to exchange some money and
buy some food.
Those of us who did not go just stayed
inside continuing the boozing.
I guess it was a beautiful day
outside, but we could not care less!
We had vodka!! At some point, Droid
came up with the idea that the
SUOMISKENE should make a demo.
»CL7:Therefore, we tried to get the Amiga
musicians to make some music, but they
failed, since they suck like all Amiga
users.»CL1:
We also started to code some shit on
PC and Droid did the gfx.
»CL6:216 finished coding the thing during
the night»CL1:. We were supposed to do the
music live, but given the fact that we
all passed out this never actually
happened.
I hope that Raver or others showed our
demo there.
It took about 6 hours for the other
Finns to get back, at least most of
them. Melwyn, Dead Meat, and some
others were the first to show up, and
then came Lobotomy. Titti was missing
for a few hours but finally managed to
get back.
They had bought a shitload of fish and
stuff so we went out to barbeque.
»CL8:Someone had stolen most of the meat we
bought on Friday night (»CL7:or maybe some
of us just lost it during the night»CL8:).»CL1:
I was feeling awful.
We continued the boozing.
We went outside and started the fire.
It was still daytime and some local
people were fishing on the riverbanks.
They looked somewhat amazed when
suddenly 11 very ugly, drunk, bad
smelling Finnish people started a fire
on the ground.

The boozing continued and finally,
Titti came back.
We continued to booze.
It started raining, so we went inside.
We continued boozing.
»CL6:I met a very nice Latvian girl with a
video camera making some kind of
video.»CL1: I am not sure if the entire
video was about Phat#1 or if she just
needed some clips from the place.
Anyway, I was talking to her when two
Latvian guys came over. One of them
had a big bottle of vodka. He started
giving shots of vodka, which suited me
just fine.
We continued boozing.
»CL1:Raver managed to get a VCR for showing
my wild-demos, but they did not have
time to show them before we left.
At least, I hope they showed them
after our departure.
There was a music competition, 1st
song was good, 2nd was ok, 3rd was
boring and during the 4th song I
passed out.
»CL7:The demo Suomiskene made can be found
here:»CLB: http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/
pirtola/sgene/suomi.zip
»CL1:When I woke up, it was time to leave
and go to the bus.
Just as we got on the bus, I puked.
Imagine six hours of happy journey
with the smell of puke in everyone's
noses!!!
We reached the ferry and went back to
Finland.
Everyone is still alive.
»CL5:Nosfe
»CL1:"Lobotomy was quite happy drinking my
vodka-fanta at Phat#1. I had to tell
him to stop several times before he
understood. He also bought a bottle of
chilli-vodka for himself!"
»CL8:Sounds like hardcore boozing. Did you
see any computers there? ;-)
»CL5: Raver
»CL1:Well, there were a couple. The
Estonians had some that we used them
to make the Suomiskene-demo and of
course, the local people had some. »CL7:The
coolest machines were a Spectrum in an
old PC-box and Alice»CL1:, a small red box
with a keyboard on it and connectors
for screen and something. The
prettiest and sexiest computer I have
ever seen. It looked fucking cool. If
I remember correctly the keyboard was
Russian style.
»CL5: Nosfe
»CL1:I guess the Finns were the largest
single nationality. We should
celebrate that, I guess.
»CL5: Setok
»CL1:At least on Friday it was so.
»CL5: Nosfe
»CL1:While swimming, I had my bus ticket
hidden in the sock and when giving it
to Jarno, I only got one half of it
out and found the rest the following
day. »CL6:The asshole, motherfucker of a
bus driver did not accept it and I had
to pay an extra 200 EEK to get back to
Tallinn»CL1:. I am very happy about the
fact that Nosfe puked on the bus,
unfortunately not into the bus.
»CL5: Droid
»CL1:When all is said and done, Phat#1 was
a cool party, even though they did not
have a big screen and there were so
few people.
The right spirit was there and that is
what counts.
»CL5: Nosfe
»CL1:I hope someone will add a link here
when they have their photos in the
net. Some of us brought cameras.
»CL8:Today I tried to count the number of
visitors and ended up with 70 so »CL1:far.
This number may be higher, but I will
investigate a little bit and publish
the full list along with the results.
MEAT! We have now found it and most of
it smells a little bit bad ;)
»CL8:The old woman in the restaurant said:
"»CLC:But these Finnish guys are really
strange ones»CL1:".
There were 2 c64s, 3 Amigas (2 030,
1 060), 1 Alice (French keyboard!), 3
Spectrums (1 48K, 2 scorpions),
2 Ataris (1 65xe, 1 2600), and about
6 PC's if I recall correctly.
The party went on for 3 days and
nights and people were coming and
going. Friday night and Saturday night
counted approximately 30-40 visitors
at the same time.
Many of the things we wanted to do
failed, but »CL7:it looks like everyone
liked the party, so our main goal is
achieved»CL1:! We will start preparing for
Phat#2 already in order for everything
to be ready in time... though for this
kind of party, a whole week would be a
better choice than just 3 days - they
pass so quickly.
