aC1Dk0De: more tek.... less glitch
beth_winter:  btw, you're the cause of my expenditures not for the 1st time. Saw Fight Club 3 times already
beth_winter:  Try downloading mp3s at 3 kb/sec
aC1Dk0De: yeah ? ALL RIGHT !!!!!!!!!
aC1Dk0De: well, at that DL rate......mm
beth_winter:  and the players are expensive here ?
aC1Dk0De: for how much more ?
beth_winter:  300 USD and more. Too much for a high-schooler
aC1Dk0De: 200 American $ for a 64K model, that is - TWO hours of playtime
aC1Dk0De: You're in high school ?!?!?!? Er, oops !
beth_winter:  will turn 18 in three months. You?
aC1Dk0De: i've got an idea !
aC1Dk0De: < 25 ! >
aC1Dk0De: here's my by play - i'll hook up with mister biofresh, 
who is always bragging about his spankin, stinky cd burner - and burn a whole lotta cd-rz for you ! how's that !
beth_winter:  I got a cd-burner right here (come to think of it, could probably get the mp3s to a cd; oops), besides, shipping... :(
beth_winter:  Btw, ever heard of Sluggy Freelance?
aC1Dk0De: < mail has been sent > <tell me when it hits>
aC1Dk0De: sluggy FL ? nope. who/what are they ?

beth_winter:  heard of it
aC1Dk0De: too small, du !
aC1Dk0De: jou like it ?
beth_winter:  never heard it myself
beth_winter:  it's been recommended to me though
aC1Dk0De: 's wild, like gabber
aC1Dk0De: but far too tiring
aC1Dk0De: i wonder myself how the clubkids handle it
aC1Dk0De: or the candykids
aC1Dk0De: what's on your cd player now?
beth_winter:  *^_^* could you explain "clubkids" and "candykids"? I'm not up to on the terms
beth_winter:  His Infernal Majesty (Finnish love metal) in the computer, Goo Goo Dolls on the stereo (now playing)
aC1Dk0De: clubkids - people who sleep all day and wake up around 6 to put on their "costumes" and party all night all the way til like 5+ AM
aC1Dk0De: candy kids are another tribe of the raver type: 
colorful, always hopped up on Liquid G, lsd, or some other drug. Drug = candy. Get it ?
beth_winter:  oh. Now I get it :)
aC1Dk0De: you have friends of either sort?
beth_winter:  not that extreme -- most of my friends are in the process of getting some education of sorts
aC1Dk0De: oui, well and good
aC1Dk0De: don't get me wrong, some ( a LOT) of these clubkids are banker-types, preppies, etc
beth_winter:  but I've heard second-hand reports. There's a big techno scene in Lodz and some of my friends go there for techno parties (would that be raves?)
aC1Dk0De: what are you planning for college?
aC1Dk0De: yup, that would be a rave
beth_winter:  I get more of candy-kids at school, mine is very hard to get through
beth_winter:  they look for help in E and amph
aC1Dk0De: rave = generally held in some old, unused building ( a warehouse, etc) with 3 or more DJs spinning for several sections, each section playes different Tek music ( several variants), and a rave usu. lasts anywhere from late afternoon to seven AM the next day or for several days
aC1Dk0De: ah, the evil* of the druggie subculture
aC1Dk0De: wink wink
beth_winter:  1 of my friends told me about one in abandoned nazi bunkers (from the eastern front of WWII) that had different music in each room, those small corridors that you can only walk in single file, and everything lit with candles
aC1Dk0De: wow.
beth_winter:  sounded so cool I almost went :)
aC1Dk0De: any pictures?
aC1Dk0De: < they CAN be kew... just don't get hopped up in anything people give to you >
beth_winter:  nope. I only met her at a friend's birthday. We were both bored to the bone and just swapped stories, but unfortunately not phone numbers or e-mails
aC1Dk0De: er...
aC1Dk0De: next time bring your filo
aC1Dk0De: i can make you business cards !
aC1Dk0De: you want ?
beth_winter:  I'm thinking of it... thx for the offer
aC1Dk0De: < did you get the email from me yet? >
beth_winter:  nope. Just checked
aC1Dk0De: hm... that's quite a lag.
aC1Dk0De: how much are cds over there ?
beth_winter:  might be a hiccup on my server.
aC1Dk0De: < heheh, a hiccup !>
beth_winter:  CDRs ~1USD, legitimate music's for 12 USD or more, but there's other sources ;)
aC1Dk0De: can you get GOOD stuff @ cd recycleries?
beth_winter:  what's a cd recyclery?
aC1Dk0De: ie, i recently snagged TEN DCD cds @ 5 US$ each !
aC1Dk0De: cd recyc = you bring your old cds in, they buy these from you - you can either get points to spend in the store, or cash
beth_winter:  never saw one here :( but I might not have been looking in the right places
aC1Dk0De: are you in the city?
beth_winter:  besides, my hunter-gatherer instinct doesn't let me get rid of any cds
aC1Dk0De: i mean, which City are you in ? Krakow ?
beth_winter:  I'm in the capital of Poland, 10 minutes by tube from city center
beth_winter:  Warsaw. Krakow was the capital until XVIIth century
aC1Dk0De: oops. needa ketchup on my readin
aC1Dk0De: Warsawa.... soui
beth_winter:  like 4 centuries ;)
beth_winter:  Warszawa
aC1Dk0De: You're so metropolitan ?
aC1Dk0De: < thankee for the sp|chk >
beth_winter:  yeah right... one tube line spanning half the city :(
aC1Dk0De: is the tube the most reliable form of transpo?
beth_winter:  could you look at this? I just ROTFLMAO: http://sluggy.com/d/971226.html 
aC1Dk0De: I saw some of it in a film by this Polish guy, the guy who made Three Colors Red, White and Blue
beth_winter:  yeah. Too much traffic jams for anything else except trams, which are from the sixties
aC1Dk0De: < heheh >

aC1Dk0De: 2) an "elevator" man who wore a belt to change his size
aC1Dk0De: 3) a guy with magnets for hands
