We left the house at 12:00 thursday afternoon. We headed south to go to Fry's Electronics. We bought a few flashlights and some candy for the trip. We stopped off at Mc Donalds for lunch and headed back north at 1:00 we stopped in Temecula because we all ahd to use the bathroom. We drove from San Diego to Las Angeles at about 80mph. From L.A. to the Roy Rogers turn off going about 90 mph. We just stopped just before Barstow to get something to drink and to use the bathroom again. After about 15 minutes we were on our way again. From our stop to Las Vegas, our speed was between 55, when the trucks tried to slow us down, and 120, when Zytek's car hit its speed barrier. Upon our arrival into Las Vegas at 5:00, we immediately saw Luxor. We turned onto the strip and then went toward the Polo Towers. We checked in with a ver busy receptionist who took 15 minutes until she could help us. After getting out keys, we returned to the car to get our stuff. I grabbed the bags and things that were in the backseat, while Teklord and Zytek brough up Teklord's computer and keyboard. We went up the elevator to the 8th floor. Once we dropped everything off Teklord decided he wasn't going to carry another computer along with two monitors up to the room so they asked a bellboy for a cart. Teklord paid the guy $5.00 for bringing up the computer. We put everything away in the room and went over to the Aladdin. The first person we ran into was Dark Tangent. He told Teklord "I heard a rumor that you were coming. You're not the only person here from Canada." We were looking around for anyone we knew. We were mainly looking for Pinguino (who still owes teklord a massage). We hung around the convention room for about 30 minutes. We left the convention room and upon turning the courner we saw Knarph and Courtnee sitting by the phones and the bathroom smoking cigarettes. We talked to them for a few minutes (courtnee mumbling she wanted to go home cuz she was boerd). then left to go to Radio Shack for radio cables. Once we realized we didn't want to spend the amount they were selling the cables for, we left empty handed. We then drove back to Polo Towers. We walked back over to the Aladdin, we didn't see anyone except for Dark Tangent and a few others, so we went to Denny's for dinner. The waitress at Dennys were slow and ignored us most of the time. We waited less than 5 minutes for Zytek's salad which looked like it was a few days old. The lettuce leaves were a very dark green color (kinda disqusting). Teklord and I got our food 15 minutes later. Zytek cut his prime rib and insted of being rare like he asked for it was well done. He asked the waitress to take it back and cook it the way he wants. The cook said he couldn't cook the food rare and the only ways are meidum rare to well done. The waitress noticed we were screwing around and gave Zytek his food and tried to stay as far away as possible (some denny's eh?). When we were finished with our food, I asked for a box for my left over food we waited 20 minutes and watched as our waitress ignored the order for a box and so we asked someone else who promptly got me a box. We left $1.00 tip because the lady deserved that much. We than went back to our hotel and set up the computers. We then found out that we do not get 800 numbers from our room. Once we got the ability to call 8000 numbers, we got online to see if anyone has gotten here yet. we watched some T.V. then went to bed to get reayd for Defcon (this was all thursday night). Friday Friday morning we woke up at 9:00. Teklord took his shower first, then me and then Zytek. We left for the Aladdin, to see if we could register before 11:00. The line to enter the conference room was very long, so we decided to go back to the Polo Towers. We were to pick up Aychbee at the airport. Zytek told me to call the airport, but Teklord was on the computer using IRC (as always). Once he was done, I called the airport and got as much information as I could because they were rushing me. We left the room at 11:20 and it took 5 minutes to get to the airport. We parked the car on the 4th floor and headed into the airport terminal. We were a few minutes early, so we got our order, we went back to the gate to wait for Aychbee. We sat in a corner and waited. Aychbee was one of the last people getting off of the plane. Aychbee and Teklord had to use the bathroom, so we went looking for them. After they got out, they decidded to page Kevin Mitnick. The lady had a hard time pronouncing Mitnick so it just sounded funny. We then headed for the car. We got back to the Polo towers at about 12:00. Aychbee dropped his stuff off in our room, and we headed for the Aladdin. We went in to get our badges and find people. We spotted Pinguino at the Penguin Palace/System Failure booth. We hung around the booth for a few hours, and listned to the most boring lecture in the world. I yaned about 10 times until Dark Cactus let me play with his laser light pen. Soem guy thought that the laser was a scope for a gun and since I was shining it on some old guy's bald head. He got pretty freaked so he told me to stop, so I gave it to Teklord, who played with it for hours shining it on several people trying to target Feds. After the boring lecture on casion hacking was over, we went to look around the casino. We went looking for TDYC (The Dismembered Youth Corp, but we couldn't find them. Once again we ran into Knarph and Courtnee (You asleep yet? :P). Knarph was also looking for TDYC, but he knew they weren't there yet. We got tired of waiting, so we went back to the convention room. I hung around Pinguino's booth while she left. I stayed talking to Logic Box, Mr. Yo Yo, and Dark Cactus. Teklord went out to find some friends, so I hung around with Zytek and Aychbee. Aychbee went to go get a drink and sat with some other friends. Teklord came back and after notcing all of the oddly shaped drinking glasses, we went looking for where to buy one. He bought a strawberry dacquiri and came back to drink it. After his drink, we ran into Lefty, who Teklord asked to buy a beer for him. When he was finished we walked around again. We went to the Polo Towers and sat around while Zytek logged on to IRC. We then went back to the Aladdin, where we ran into Knarph wewaring a TDYC t-shirt. We then went into the conference room, looking for TDYC. When we couldn't find them, Teklord decided to g to the bathroom and look around in the casino to see if he could find anyone. On our way back to the conference room, we ran into TDYC. Teklord talked to Rev. Krusty for a while and asked about the shirts. They then went into the conference room and talked while some guy talked about how to make a rail gun from parts at Home Depot. We then went to Mc Donalds after the speech and from there, we went to our room at the Polo Towers. We ate our dinner, watched T.V. and then went to sleep. Saturday Saturday morning, we went to Vons to buy groceries because we were low on money. Zytek was getting annoyed that we didn't bring much money with us, so we bought everything cheap. After returning to the hotel to put the groceries away, we went to the Alladin. We walked into the room across the hall, and immediately grabbed an open table. Teklord and Zytek went back to the Polo Towers to get Teklord's computer. I saved the table as long as I could. Some guys asked if they could have the table, but I told them it was reserved, so they piled everything around the table until they got back. After putting the monitor on the table, Pinguino, told us we could use her table. I told the guys who put all of their things around the table that they could have it but they didn't seem to care. We set up the computer with some help from XBS and Kluge. We then found out Teklord left his floppy drive ribbon cable at home. Teklord went looking for either a floppy cable or a Windows 95 cd. He finally found one, when he was out looking for linux, Zytek put in the cable backward. Zytek, who has little hardware knowledge got upset that Teklord was correcting him, so he sat down in his chair pouting while Teklord and Kluge fixed the mistake. While they were doing that I started making small signs that said I love FedCon. Teklord gave me the idea of making some that said FedCon5. Kluge then started in on the fun and asked me to make one that said root me, so I did. He fixed Two peices of tape on it and walked away for a chance to put it on someone's back. He came back a few seconds later laughing. He told me to look at Teklord's back. I looked, and there on his back was a small bit of paper reading root me. We both started laughing. Teklord came back and asked what was so funny, so we told him nothing. Teklord sat down at his computer and began typing, while I rubbed his back, making the tape stick. He asked what was on his back, so we told him there was nothing there, and he beleived us. A few minutes later he reached up to scrath where the paper was and pulled it off. He looked at it and called us jerks. We started busting up laughing then, since it was in my handwriting he blamed me for it. Kluge laughed at me because I was the one in trouble. Teklord, after I told him who did it, told kluge "you owe me a beer." Kluge and Teklord went and got another strawberry dacquiri. We sat around at the booth until Teklord wanted a few beers, so we went to the liquor store in the casino and Kluge bought him a corona and a six pack of Bud Light. While I was buy a package of chocolate turtles. We went back to the little room across from the convention room. Kluge got bored and went to find knarph, when he acouldn't find him they left notes on the table. We went back to the room. Zytek's sister was also in Las Vegas, so he waited for her to call him. After she called we ate dinner, a crappy meal of Zesty Italian Hamburger Helper, hwich Zytek put too much water into. Zytek then left, and when Teklord asked where he was going, his only response was, "Family". We got bored in the room waiting, so at 12:00 midnight, we went back to the Aladdin to see if anyone wanted to goto the Luxour. We ran into BarKode from 916, who did want to go looking around in the different casinos. First we stopped off at the Polo Towers to get our headset radios, and dropped off some things in our bags. THen we went to MGM, where BarKode and his friends were staying. Then the five of us went to New York, New York, Excalibur, and Luxor. While in Luxor, we tried finding the elevators, when we found them, there was a security guard, who asked us for a key. When we told him all we wanted to do was ride the elevators, he said sorry, only guests staying there could do that. We then left to find another elevator, but there was another guard with the same answer. Right next to the elevators out of sight from the guard, were white courtesy phones. We ddecided to page Emmanuel Goldsetin (who was not at the con this year) and Kevin Mitnik. Teklord picked up the other white courtsey phone saying that he was Kevin Mitnick. He then, while the person who paged was still on the line said he was standing right next to the person paging him. They hung up the phones and walked away, so security wouldn't find them. We then went back to our hotels at 2:00 in the morning. I was so tired I wanted to cut my feet off so I could sleep without any pain. When we got back, Zytek was waiting for us. We went straight to bed because we were so tired. Sunday Sunday morning we woke up at 9:00 in the morning, ate breakfast and went to the Aladdin. People were getting ready to leave and so we went to find Pinguino. We asked Impy where she was and he told us she passed out on him the night before at the rave. We ran into serveral other people, such as Dark Cactus and LogicBox, who said they hadn't seen her since the rave. Dark Cactus and one of his friends were going to send strippers to the conference room, but Knarph told us not to because Dark Tangent had gotten in trouble with it happening last year at the Monte Carlo. So we tried to think of anyone. We then went to the courtesy phones and paged Emmanuel Goldstein again we paged him four times, and security caught on and was going to find us, so we went into the convention room. Teklord, Zytek, and I went to Mcdonalds and to the Polo Towers, and watched T.V. the rest of the day. We watched hot Shots and then the repeat of the Tyson Bite Fight. After that we went to Luxor at around 10:00 . Then we went to Excalibur and watched Zytek blow off $20.00 on the claw machines trying to get stuffed animals. Then we went back to the hotel and went to sleep.
