Geologists' disco
🗓 2007-07-23
There is such an old tourist joke - “Disco at the Geologists”. I won’t tell you the essence of it now (maybe someday I’ll be able to prank you too). And I’ll tell you about Dzhurla’s disco.
Dzhurla is a very popular tourist stop in the picturesque Crimean gorge. We often stop there, and decided to stop this time too. We approach the main clearing, and there are several huge shopping-type tents and some wooden idols.
At first I decided that someone had opened a cafe here. After the opening of the cafe at the top of South Demerdzhi, this would not surprise me too much. But intelligence reported that this was not a public catering establishment, but a film set. They are filming something like an alternative party scene with hookahs, booze and other drugs. Also, according to intelligence data, the filmmakers were going to have a disco in the evening and were inviting everyone.
To be honest, at first I was a little afraid that my tourists would fall for the bait and hang out half the night at this “geologists’ disco.” The prospect is not very tempting, because the next day I had very Napoleonic plans.
Nevertheless, we did not leave the clearing and set up camp nearby. In the meantime, we were setting up tents and looking out of the corner of our eye at the filmmakers’ camp.
And here's what we saw:
no cameras on the surface;
an extremely small number of people, namely two;
one of whom (a long-haired elderly guy) was smoking a hookah, and the second was walking around in swimming trunks that suspiciously resembled a thong.
Having summed up these facts, our tourist council unanimously decided - “homosya.”
Naturally, after such a resolution no one went to the disco. We watched the lonely dancing filmmaker from afar, drank tea and screamed songs with a guitar. By the way, after a couple of hours the disco went out because the diesel generator ran out of fuel. Our party lasted until midnight - the guitarist didn't need gas.
