TDYC! at DefCon IV

by fruity

TDYC! decided to attend DefCon IV to make a jump onto the scene... Originally all of the founding members were planning on attending, but probs arose for the president Rev. Krusty, and for vice pres SoulZero and they were unable to attend.. This left only 2 other founding members, myself (fruity) and PbS. Despite lacking half of the founding force of TDYC we decided to still attend this great gathering..

We left that friday for Las Vegas, and coming from Yuma, Az we had around a 6 hour drive. Before hitting the road our crew gathered at Denny's to feed our faces. The crew consisted of myself, PbS, TrueCynic, Citizen-X, motts, PlopBoy, and MaddVibe. After eating we loaded up in 2 cars, mine and PlopBoy's, and drove till we hit Las Vegas..

First thing we did in Vegas was hit up the Monte Carlo, where we had a room booked and we moved all our junk up to the room.. While Citizen-X and PbS setup a computer in the room, i proceeded to leech our neighbors phone lines. We ended up with 3 extra lines, which was a good thing cuz the casino charged 75 cents for EVERY call made!

While the rest of us wandered around and snagged food to eat motts and Citizen-X managed to find the roof, and then wander into a restricted staircase.. A guard caught them, called for backup and harassed the shit outta them for quite a while. After takin their infoz they were let go..

Most of us had registered for the con by now and were wandering around the con area. Attitude hung heavy in the conference room and i did not want to hang around if it was gonna be like that so a few of us went back to the room and met tymat who i invited to leech our room with us.. Teklord and some large scary chick were also there and i was scared of the chick. teklord seemed kewlio and was one of tymat's friends so we let him hang with us..TrueCynic had met some hackers and he brought them back to the room and overa few beers and Josta we talked and hacked.

PbS and i got bored and wandered around the casino about 2 in the morning.. The security had shut down the convention hall area (which still had not got the link to the net up) and we wandered around till we saw some other con-goers. Flea, Lowrider, and SilentService were phreaking calls on some of the pimpy-looking payfones in the hallway and looked like they were having fun. We ended up back the the room, 26-321, and unfortunately this person we call "cellular boy" had followed us back to the room. We bullshitted, and attempted to power up "cellular boy's" generic broked ass cellular phones to no avail. Many ppl crashed there while others hacked and made ld calls on the neighbors lines. The TDYC crew decided that we would throw a party on sat night just for the hell of it..

At sunrise i crashed for a couple of hours while most everyone else went for food. When they came back we headed down to the convention room where the attitude had settled quite a bit and many ppl sat diligently attempting to break into the Sidewinder firewall computer (10 grand prize! werd) I discussed the proposition of getting alcohol for the party with The French Guy, whom i had met the day before when TrueCynic and myself had kicked his and his friends ass on this virtual hockey type game in the arcade. After convincing him to buy for us we met John L0cke.. he was in desperate need of a null modem cable and we (TrueCynic, PbS, and myself) volunteered one we had brought. L0cke was attempting to setup his and Radar's puters to attack the Capture the Flag's computers. PbS werked on helping Radar setup linux on his puter while i sat there attempting to get sleep, and TC(TrueCynic) ran around and met ppl. The other guys in the crew had been runnin around all day and i have no clue what they did.

We left Radar while linux installed and went for food downstairs. There i nearly fell in love with a Gwen Stefani look alike who was also munchin down there. ( If you know her infoz like pass them to me plz :> or give her mine hehe)After TC and PbS slapped me back to reality we went back up to the convention hall and helped out somemore with the linux setup. The French Guy found me and TC again and convinced us to go check out Virtual World, so PbS, TC, Frenchy, myself, teklord, and probably someone else went and played VGL. It was kewlio.. We jammed back the the carlo for a while and messed around on the ethernet they had setup and continued to help Radar.

We got bored of that and went to the room.. Whippet and a friend of his showed up and setup their puter.. We were all hacking happily with ppl coming and going until teklord busts into the room shouting "were busted!!" Needless to say we cleared the room fast. i killed all the phreaked lines and everyone else packed up the shit we needed or was worth ne thing and we headed down to the convention hall to setup. it turns out some kid had run away from home to come to defcon and he had been hangin out with us.. the security and cops had picked him up and teklord thought that maybe he had told them bout our phreaked lines.. after a few hours we moved back so we could throw the party..

The party was scheduled to start somewhere between 10 or 12 at night so we figured we had time, but when we went up to the room again there were quite a few ppl like Knarph, tymat, Courtnee(i finally changed it :>) and others were there, so The French Guy, motts and me cruised around to liquor stores and picked up stuff for the party.

We iced down the tub and filled it with beer and wine coolers, while i hogged the hard shit.. a few hours later we considered the party started and i knocked off a bottle of southern comfort :> werd. a few more ppl had shown up. including Whippet who brought his puter.

After some more time the party was jammin really good with 40 ppl in the room. after knocking off a bottle of bacardi i attempted to help Whippet hack taco bell, but i was just there.. after more time the room filled even more and everyone was signing a list that was on one of the puters. everyone had constantly been makin ld calls on the phreaked lines. during my intoxicated period i called up some strippers who left when teklord opened the door and screamed "everyone hide!!" of course there were around 50-60 ppl in the room with no room to stand already. Another batch of strippers showed up a while later and although mad one of them still stripped after using one of the phreaked line handsets to call her boss. the other stripper hid in the bathroom in a shock at how many ppl were there. after a large sum of money was gathered she started stripping, but then ran off with the money with Flea right behind her.

This was the most hilarious thing of the con for me. one of the strippers was detained by hotel security and the other got away. flea called us and told us that we had better watch out cuz the stripper had reported about the weed that was in the room. i mentioned this to the ppl at the party which was rapidly cleared. after some cleanup we waited for security to show up while angus called the strippers boss and argued to get free strippers. the sun was rising around this time and after learning that free strippers would arrive sunday night, i passed out.. PbS woke me up at 10:30 sunday and mumbled something about checking out by 11.. he went and checked out while we packed up our shit and loaded most of it into the cars. then we went to the con and listened to the speakers and napped. i returned whippets hardware that was left in the room during the party breakup.. we basically just messed around the rest of the day, got infoz of how to contact ppl we met..

On our way out we got kicked out of the casino and PlopBoy, motts, Citizen-X, and MaddVibe left to travel back to Yuma and PbS, TC, the French Guy and myself went to Virtual World and played VGL the rest of the day. We dropped the French Guy off at the airport and headed out of town... after driving for a while i started seeing multiple stripes on the road and had TC drive.. He got tired to we woke PbS up and i crashed in the back seat, and i woke up in town :>

many many many other events occured that i have not included because this file would be SO huge that i would not even be able to finish typing this before i died.. also my mind is jumbled as to when lots things happened so i had to leave shit out cuz i am confused heh needless to say lots of fun was had, info was learned and friends were made. TDYC! was introduced to the world :>
