We had a clear shot out the living room window. Careful planning of details
like this, enabled our band's survival that night.
Toilet Paper Bartering
![]() During the crisis, we knew toilet paper would be worth it's weight in gold, so we stocked up a plenty. Here's an attempt by some sweater laden yuppie to horse trade 2 bottles of Dom Perigion for 1 roll of our double-ply. |
![]() No go. Sweetening the deal to 3 bottles of Dom though, did the trick. Everyone has their weakness, ...guess it's 3 bottles for the band. |
Expressing Ourselves
30 odd 6 and 12 gauge shotguns. We were going to keep what was ours.
Ensuring Outside Communications
![]() By planning ahead, we were able to keep our band's Intel based 286 DOS laptop powered during the crisis. |
![]() We had to keep the generator outside, which of course left open a small window of vulnerability. |
Duplication of Defenses
Another key was to establish bulk-heads in different physical quadrants. Here,
we're preparing a protection fire on our Southern flank.
Surveillance
The television on the log pile was our video link back to our Y2K command center.
As in any crisis situation, knowing who's watching who is as
critical as the actual watching. And you can quote us
on that.
Y2K Compliance
January 1, 2000. Mission accomplished (note red wrapping remnants of
our defensive shield).
