 THE REPORT...
 --------------
 The whole mess started on Friday at
 17 o'clock. After a long sail and an
 unbelievable battle with the royal
 treasure-fleet we came together on the
 PIRATES-ISLAND. With a big bottle of
 pure rum in our hands, we started
 organizing the action of the next day!
 Croon and I developed a complete time-
 plan for the next day.

 Saturday, 24.10'92
 -------------------
 As I covered my body in the warm bed-
 linen, it was possible to catch sleep
 for five hours.
 But the worst invention ever made,
 usually known as Alarm-Clock, used to
 terrorize my secret dreams at six
 o'clock in the morning!
 I took my daily shower and put on some
 cloth. I tried to eat something, but
 my mouth was still gaping, so I only
 defeated three little grapes, which
 was no usual Pirates-breakfast!

 Anyway, I left my building with the
 Network-Party-Bag in the one hand, the
 Pirates-Flag and the Fun-Maker in the
 other. I loaded the goods on my ship,
 and the moment I closed my Fiesta once
 more often, I saw Croon with his car
 coming down our street. We just had a
 little chat and so he drove off to
 pick up A-Bomp at 06:45 and meet me
 again at 07:00 at Flim Flam's house!
 Just in the moment, when Croons car-
 sound left my hears and that strange
 'Piieep' turned off, I saw Venice
 walking my way.
 With Venice on the right-front-seat of
 my car, I drove to Brix and also he
 was quite fast and we were able to
 follow the developed Time-Plan from
 Croon and me.
 At 07:01 we were present at Flim's
 house and Croon and A-Bomp were still
 there. I left the car to shake hand
 with A-Bomp, who still thought about
 drinking. Venice and Brix left the
 little street-meet and began to party
 in Flim's house. Flim Flam caused a
 heavy delay, which was told to have
 the only reason: 'My girlfriend was
 here last night..'.
 So we arranged to pick up Ragman and
 Leech at 07:30, but that was still
 impossible, because their houses are
 ca 50 km away and we really drove like
 being mad on the free-way.
 We arrived there at 07:59 and they
 came aboard. So we hoist flags and
 were definately on our way to the
 Netherlands.
 Croon, knowing that he must keep on
 driving the A2, prefered to leave my
 ship being my ship and went off at his
 own.
 Pure fun was celebrated by Flim Flam's
 'SKA -TAPE' and so the only thing
 which troubled me was my stomage.
 Remember: Three grapes and nothing
 else was still not much.
 Just after Dortmund I used to stop at
 a petrol-station and what saw my eyes:
 Croon, A-Bomp, Ragman and Leech trying
 to fill Croon's car up with petrol.
 We just showed them where we liked to
 park and they followed.
 The big Pirate-Cult-Shake began and we
 talked a bit, just until Croon decided
 to leave us again.
 I visited the toilet and bought some
 condomes with a little Cream-Tube!
 At 09:15 we left the station and
 hunted some cars on the Free-Way!

 Well some blind, sick and mad words
 were spoken on the way to the border
 and ofcause I can't remember every-
 thing.

 As expected we were present at the
 border at 10:00 and as not expected,
 there was no cop to stop us!
 So, as planned we arranged a date
 behind the border and so we saw the
 car from Croon, and the car(?) from
 GALEN/TRINOMIC standing around there!
 We just left the cars to shake hands
 with Galen, Pussymaster, X-TRO and
 Galen's brother [(L)amiga-freaker]!
 I changed some money and we all waited
 for the Sunrise-Car! But planned was a
 meeting at 10:30, but at 10:45 there
 was still no Sunrise car. So we left
 the place there and sailed to Venlo-
 Blerick.
 Just after paying the 5 Gulden for the
 ticket I observed the meeting-place.
 I saw Aslive/Hysteric/Flash Inc./RSI,
 Airwolf/Legend, Chotaire/Ex-Image,
 Merlin/Epic and Nightshade/Success in
 the first part of the hall. Ofcause a
 little shake with them was celebrated!
 But I was searching for our true
 scene friends and party-freakers.

 After missing them two times,I finally
 found them inside of the hall.

 A little shine of the sun passed the
 windows and lighted up the face from
 JTF/SUNRISE. After a the traditional
 front-fuck, I recognised his little
 petrol-reserve-tank and for sure I
 knew which kind of liquid was filled
 in there. JTF's special Wodka-Bitter-
 Lemon mixture.
 A little bit later I saw Jones/Sunrise
 presenting the mega-cool Enforcer-
 crack from PARACRAX/SUNRISE.
 I kissed the hands from Cliff/SUNRISE
 and cool as he is, he was wearing his
 special eye-zoomer-glasses.
 Also Jones put on his glasses and Flim
 Flam and I lend the glasses from them
 and walked around a bit.
 With the glasses I saw The Cult/DA/SUN
 and spend some time with him.

 Venice captured the EXCESS-computer
 and showed the NETWORK ISSUE#02 on it!
 As everyone was laughing about the
 lame Intro, Flim Flam and I used the
 chance to pick the Network Bag from
 the car. Back in the meeting we
 devided all the vote-sheets and soon
 Venice, Ragman, Brix, A-Bomp, Leech,
 Flim Flam, Croon and I spreaded them a
 bit.

 I saw Tachyon/Mega Industries standing
 there and we talked a bit. Finally he
 got a table and installed his computer
 on it. Booting Remark Issue#16, more
 and more sceners assembled around the
 tabel. Mega cool magazine and we saved
 a copy of it. Just at the EXCESS-table
 Venice tested his version of it and it
 was really hard to handle. But after
 some time of training, he finally[£]^<
 managed to handle the mega-cool  ;<=>?
 new outfit.
 Anyway, I visited the table on
 which Posdnugs/RSI was just
 filling the Network-Vote-sheet
 and I observed him filling the lamer-
 charts. He also wanted to spend a vote
 for Brix, but as it isn't allowed to
 vote for the Pirates, he just filled
 in someone else.
 Posdnugs seems to have a bad opinion
 about Brix, because Brix told someone,
 who showed his Fli-Picture, that it is
 possible to paint it in Koala!
 Brix is a good graphican and he's able
 to handle all formates of Editors and
 for sure he'll make strange noices
 when there are only three colors in
 one cursor-square.

 Back to the meeting. Having Fun with
 Galen/Trinomic, a pretty face showed
 up. It was Curly Sue/TNC, I just had a
 chat with her and also Brix talked
 with her for a while.
 We all took a mouth from JTF's cool
 turbo-drink and Galen's face turned
 white, as the mixture was stored in
 his stomage. With big headache, he
 followed me to my car and I invited
 him to test my special....

          HEADACHE-TERMINATOR!
         ----------------------
 which is a record of DEXTRO-ENERGEN
 and pure COCA-COLA. I ordered Galen
 to eat the Dextro and drink an half
 litre of the coke.
 The Coke was warm and there was no
 blubba (carbon dioxide) in it's black
 liquid. After the ritual Galen looked
 very shocked. As his face turned more
 white and he wasn't able to say some
 ordinary words. Probably, you know,
 that Dextro and Coke expand in the
 stomage and that the mixture will be
 sucked from the blood. So Galen's
 behaviour went more sick, but since he
 is no Pirate, he mustn't spit like
 Brix last time, on the way back!
 Pussymaster used to eat some cold
 frites with some vagetables....

 While I prepared the Fun-Maker, Croon
 copied some Amiga discs inside of the
 building.
 With the Fun-Maker in my hand I went
 back to the party-place.
 JTF was still waiting for the cult
 show. After some grandpas and grandmas
 passed our way, Flim Flam lighted up
 his firemaker and the shoot was
 unstopable.
 'Pow', it made and a little flame
 caused the simulated cannonball flying
 up to ten meters.
 Having some fun with MACHO/TRINOMIC
 we spend some more time outside.

 Finally I called all pirates up, to
 have a little meeting outside!
 We found a good rain-protection and
 sat down there. I told them the reason
 for the meeting and they listened.

 Galen and Pussymaster of Trinomic were
 still on their way back and only the
 coolies in TNC stayed.
 Mike of Sunrise opened his box and
 gave out some MILESTONES. Venice
 got 20 of the genius paper-mag and
 he was ready to sell them there....

 I also got a terrible headache and so
 I could not remember all the action
 during that period.

 My head began to clear up at 14:00
 and there are only 2 hours left for
 the meeting.

 Brix reported about Nightshade having
 stress with ****/***** (?), because it
 was said, that **** stole a disc from
 Nightshade/Success and that he spread
 it there.
 It was a game, for which Nightshade
 managed a Software-House to sell it!
 But as roumors say that the contract
 is broken now, Nightshade was very
 angry and I think everyone can
 understand why!
 (ED.: ****/***** stands for the
 hidden name, because we don't want
 to blame someone here. Just ask
 Nightshade for the real name.)

 Just swapping places with somewhere
 else.....

 Ragman, Leech and Brix having some
 fun with Leech's photo-camera. So
 some good shoots were taken and you
 should try to get them from LEECH.

 The only special thing was, that Brix
 layed his arm around Curly Sue/TNC,
 just in the moment Leech was pressing
 the botton.. I think that will be a
 good photo, so far..

 After a chat with JTF/SUNRISE in
 the car from MIKE/SUNRISE, the party
 was over and we came together oustide
 the hall.
 Again some pure minutes of fun with
 THE CULT/DA/SUNRISE, JTF/SUNRISE,
 JONES/SUNRISE, CLIFF/SUNRISE,MIKE/SUN,
 Curly Sue/TNC, LYNX/HITMEN,

 (ED.: A little research brought the
 result that: Lynx didn't took this
 handle because of the Atari Lynx, no
 just because it's an illness in Africa
 which is wellknown there....)

 NIGHTSHADE/SUCCESS and so on....
 Shaking hands with everyone, we left
 the party to eat something in a local
 shop.

 Mad driving was the result of the
 food there.

 Back at Flim Flam's residence we've
 planned our new demo and I think it
 will be pure fun to make it....
