{9{3 ANARCHY PARTY '92 REPORT {4 BY DEADBEAT {1I got up at 5:00am on Saturday 4th of April, and after rushing around, and a bit of swearing, I climbed into the taxi at 6:00am and after a bleary dawn journey through London, I arrived at Paddington Station at 6:15am. So with 45 minutes to kill, I collapsed on the nearest bench and caught up on some sleep! At 7:00am I boarded the train, and began the three hour journey to Sheffield. Not much to do there except listen to some music and eat some breakfast. So the train pulled in at Sheffield at about 10:00am, and I walked around the station until I found my next train. I saw loads of people lugging monitors and computers onto the train so I guessed I was in the right place! After about half an hour the train arrived at Barnsely Station, and I joined the mass of party-goers heading who-knows-where. But eventually we all arrived at Barnsley Bus Station, and I consulted my Anarchy Party Map for the bus details. Well I couldn't make much sense out of it, so I just stood around holding up my ticket, with a confused look on my face! Some other party dudes noticed me and waved, so I jumped on the bus (after forcing the bus-driver to change a 10 pound note for a 45p journey!). So I sat back and waited until we arrived at the party. After driving around in circles for about half an hour, the bus stopped off outside the Royston Civic Hall at about 11:00am, where everyone was unloading their party gear, and I headed towards the school, where the party had spilled over to. I entered the school hall and sat down under the LSD (my group then!) airbrushed poster (by Fish/LSD, cool!) and waited until I saw some people I knew. After a while I recognised the usual lads like Pazza, Shagratt and Maximan, and we all moved over to the LSD members only classroom, where Watchman, Echo, Fish and 2-Cool were all working on their party releases. At this point, I finally managed to have a rest after my four hour journey. I talked to Pazza about LSD's future and generally got in the way! (hehe). When Matrix/LSD arrived, he brought with him two party intros he had coded for release that day (along with Grapevine #9 and 'The Long Dark Teatime of The Soul' four disk music demo by Shagratt of LSD). So armed with these releases for spreading, I went off with Ciars of Alliance to find the other Alliance members. I met up with Razor Blade and Raistlin and Alliance (Hi M8s!), and generally hung around there discussing Alliance's future production's and also getting interviewed for their party video! After this, not much else happened, apart from the news that the prize money for the competitions had been withdrawn because some selfish individual had stolen a printer from the school's computer room. But the competitions continued anyway. Also at around 5:00pm, a rumour started spreading that the police had been called and were currently on their way (maybe accompanied by F.A.S.T), to raid the school. So hastily everyone moved their gear over from the school back to the hall. The Police never arrived [The Police never arrive, the same rumour starts at EVERY party, by now people should be used to it, Pazza], but better safe than sorry! At about 7:00pm, the party started to disintegrate so me and Ciars caught a lift to Pazza's house in Fish's car (thanx!). After about an hour of driving we arrived at Pazza's house except Pazza wasn't there! (later we found out that Shagratt's cars's clutch had burned out on the motorway!). So we drove off to pick up some pizza's and by the time we came back at about 10:30pm, the lads had already arrived). We sat back and ate pizza while going through the party releases and torturing Poppy! (Pazza's dog). This carried on until 3:00am, when we started to watch a video called 'Death Row Gameshow'. During this a pizza fight started up and also a competition to see who could throw the most pizza in Echo's mouth while he was asleep! This continued until about 4:30am, when most of us fell asleep. I awoke at 6:30am the following morning and dozed untill 11:30am when Watchman, Tripper/DMX and a couple of the other guys left. I got up and copied the party releases for trading that evening. Then at 1:30pm, I left Pazza's house and struggled to persuade a taxi-driver (over the phone) to take me and Ciars to Gainsbrough Station, where we waited for about an hour and a half for a bus to take us to Sheffield. There we caught a train back to London (another three hour journey!), which finally arrived back at 10:00pm. Then I caught a bus home, and got back home (at last!) at 10:30pm. Well as this was my first party I can't really compare this to previous events, but I found it well organised, and very enjoyable! Hi to the following people I met at the Anarchy party: Fish, Torch, Shagratt, Maximan, Data, Pazza & 2- Cool (LSD), Razor Blade & Raistlin (ALLIANCE), Tripper (DIMENSION-X). end.
