Day one, November 1, 2013Well, where to begin... it's hard to remember everything right away. Anyway, on the morning of the 1st, Grizzwald, Ivan (who turned out to be a pretty good tactician :smile04: and just a good guy!), and I set off towards Novosibirsk, not just any way, but in a UAZ! We were all pretty tired, and the drowsiness on the road didn't help much. Around lunchtime, we finally found the address of the apartment, not far from the cottage where we were supposed to check in at 3:00 PM. We were met by Artem (BaJleHoK), who led us to the apartment where Lizard, Bloodliker, iDD, and (the guy who actually "came to play poker") Kamikadze were already hanging out and having fun in the kitchen. Preds and Napalm were chilling in the room, conserving energy. After introductions and, of course, a shot to toast our meeting, we immediately absorbed the huge amount of positive energy from the mini-chaos that was unfolding there. At the agreed time, Kostya, aka Dirty_player, arrived, and we all headed to the "king's apartments" (though, judging by everything, medieval kings, since there were also significant problems with hot water and internet), but overall, the situation was pleasing. There were 2 bedrooms and a sofa in the living room with more than enough sleeping places, a huge banquet table, a barbecue area, 2 plasma TVs, and a cozy kitchen with everything you need. Since we learned that all the Championship events would start only the next day, we immediately ran to get some beer and began what was the hardest day for my body :smile21:. The other participants and organizers of the event started to arrive: Dust, Merlin, later Alessandro, and at night, LeBrone. But I'm getting ahead of myself. We hadn't even had time to unpack when I got incredibly hungry, but we still had to wait before we could start cooking meat. Then, Alexander-Kamikadze suggested going to a nearby restaurant called "Shashlycoff" for "a little" meat. We ordered a huge meat platter, 3.5 liters of beer, and an equally large plate of snacks... Within an hour, we managed to eat less than half of what we ordered, and we took the rest with us and went back, where we continued the fun with stronger drinks. Vodka and cognac started to flow, and then, as if on cue, the sauna was ready! After spending a couple of hours in the sauna and jumping into the pool with murky water (which was noticed a little later, and, by the way, the water wasn't changed for another day), we decided that cognac was the perfect choice. And I also entertained the others by managing to drink cognac and then chase it with more cognac from someone's glass! I didn't even really notice it, I was in such good shape :smile13: :smile51:. Of course, the Siberian guys couldn't stay in one place for too long, and closer to midnight, a small group of young people decided to go to a strip club or a nightclub. According to Douglis, there were about four such places within 100 meters of each other, not far from us. <
>! The journey back, as usual, was not without incident, and we got stuck in a broken taxi... but in the end, we safely got home, where the strongest were still on their feet, but soon sleep began to take them one by one... After searching the rooms and not finding a suitable place for myself, I spread out some pillows on the floor and ended this tough day there. To be continued...
