The Con started off rather slow as no one really knew how to get it started. |
Finally Lex Luthor decided to discuss the current rumors about the BBS |
decline. From there the topics included; |
Bulletin Boards |
Busts (Texas, Virginia, New York) |
Fiber Optics |
Automatic Number Identification (ANI) |
REMOBS |
Laws |
Handles |
Groups |
Broadway Hacker |
Methods of blowing 2600 Hertz |
SCCS |
4TELs |
800 CLID |
Later, Bill From RNOC told some stories about his exploits and proceeded to |
draw diagrams of whatever came to mind. Phantom Phreaker and Doom Prophet |
were upset that no one wanted to discuss CAMA. |
In the meantime, I noticed that Dan The Operator had disappeared. Forest |
Ranger and I investigated only to discover that the tapes had disappeared as |
well. We caught up with Dan later and discovered that the tapes were now in |
Control C's rented station wagon. LOKI let me in and I took the cassette I |
had been looking for and a roll of film. The tape had all of my SummerCon |
article memos on it and this article is partially the result. We didn't know |
about side B, but more on that later. |
After the Con, Taran King, Control C, Lucifer 666, Bill From RNOC, and I |
headed out to my house where we had some serious copying to do. Control C |
brought his computer and we began to copy Metal Shop Private on to his hard |
disk drive. While this was going on, Lucifer was receiving a copy of my very |
own PWN software to aid him when he takes over with issue XVI. I left the |
cassette and film at my house, its a pity I didn't play it right away because |
this article would have had a very different end. |
Anyway, we finished up and then headed to Chesterfield Mall, a nearby shopping |
center. From there we proceeded to the local CO and recovered some |
interesting artifacts. Our next stop was to pick up some hardware that we |
needed and then more trashing. We returned to Best Western and learned that |
Lex Luthor and The Leftist had left due to Leftist's tight schedule. |
The rest of the afternoon was mostly uneventful. Lots of rain and not much to |
do. As night approached, the party part of the Con began to restart. Several |
of us got bored with this and decided to explore parts of the hotel. We found |
a Navy wedding reception and decided to take in the food. The management |
didn't approve and we were bounced. So then we decided to take a look at the |
telephone wiring boxes in the hallways of the buildings. The problem was that |
to open them you had to rip out part of the wall. Nevertheless, things have a |
way of happening and the residents of several wings of the hotel found |
themselves without phone service. |
The management didn't like what was happening at all and called the police to |
investigate. They spotted several of us running around the hotel and it was a |
mad dash back to the rooms for cover. LOKI was spotted going through an open |
window into Lucifer 666's room and the police decided to investigate it more |
closely. After an hour of panic and excitement, things cooled down and most |
of the people in Lucifer 666's room either went to sleep or were playing with |
Control C's computer and logging on to Metal Shop Private. |
We were bored and so Ninja NYC, Bill From RNOC, Taran King, Tuc, and I decided |
to go throw ice on Dan The Operator. We ran down the hall and banged on |
L666's door. Suddenly one of the hotel managers appeared and threatened us |
that if we didn't go to our rooms and keep quiet he would call the police. We |
left the hall and went to the back parking lot. Ninja started a wheel rolling |
towards the building and we all knew what the result would be <CRASH!>. |
Before it hit we ran at full speed around to the front of the hotel where we |
were greeted by a hefty officer of the Bridgeton Police Department. He was |
sort of leaning on his car facing us. It was so eerie because it almost |
seemed as though he knew we were coming and was waiting for us. We slowed |
down considerably until he said, "Run to me boys." No one really reacted |
until he said it again, "C'mon run to me boys." Ten seconds later he was |
joined by the asshole manager that had yelled at us not more than 60 seconds |
ago. "How old are you!?" he asked checking for curfew violations. Our |
replies varied from 17 to 21. "Where are you from!?" Bill and Tuc replied |
New York, the rest of us kept quiet. "Lets see some room keys!" We showed |
him two keys and then he looked at the asshole manager and said, "They belong |
here." "Why are you outside, what are you doing!" Taran replied, "Going to |
get something to eat, is that okay mister!?" |
Our car was parked next to his and we took off for a while. He tried to |
follow us, but we quickly left his jurisdiction. While we were out we found |
the home of Bigfoot (the truck). We messed around there for a while and then |
returned to Best Western and walked around some of the vacant floors of the |
hotel. |
The only other interesting activity we did that evening was a 3 AM trip to a |
24 hour food store. Bill From RNOC, Taran King, Tuc, Sir Francis Drake, and I |
went to a Super Schnucks and messed around there. It was huge and we almost |
lost SFD. After making a few purchases, we went back to the home of Bigfoot |
and Taran decided to play bumper car with some of the super huge tires in the |
parking lot. We returned to the hotel for the last time and found Ninja NYC |
on the phone with L666's current girlfriend. We harassed her for a while and |
then I fell asleep. Taran and a few others made a few other trips around town |
and woke me up at about 6 AM Sunday morning. |
