The last meeting the fan-group Steedumbrella 7 May 2016
Though this meeting was actually rather as sort "banquet with friends" - we unwittingly plunged into nostalgic memories of the joint youth days, creativity, work and other memorable events - Aleksei Sidorov prepared huge surprise.
Aleksei took us to his private room, where from nightstand he pulled some black suitcase and leisurely began to open it. He winked mysteriously, that we have become intriguing to speculate that this might denote.
Suitcase was opened and our eyes seen a pile of various papers and a some magazine. Who would have thought - when I opened the magazine, there were records of Russian fan club participants in House Culture "Yauza" for a few dates since 2000.
It turns Aleksei led a secret journal, in which he even wrote the phones of visitors of fan club in order to be able to contact them for further participation. Also we found unknown photos in the fan club, poster of fan club, rules of fan club, composed by Sergei Pronin and ONE unknown unfinished story from Aleksei about Steed (unfortunately Aleksei was unable to determine when he was written it - even approximately). I think if someone was shooting a scene with a suitase on a video camera - this would was sparkling comedy:
as soon as it became aware of the content of the "bag", every one (except owner) attacked a valuable object and began almost to tear it apart by studying different papers.
Aleksei soon abandoned the attempts to "pacify" the public and excited shouts, very possibly could be heard even in the street (all occurred near the balcony on the 4th floor).
Overall had a good holiday, Aleksei proposed to meet again in August and hold the event properly.
As for the Avengers, the event touched it only in the following:
1) There have been about twenty photos with a book Avengerworld in the home yard of Aleksei Sidorov. At the moment I have not received these photos. (main photographer Sergei still out Internet, and seems Moscow too)
2. Aleksei read the new chapter from the novel "Finger of fate".
3. Surprise in suitcase. (Greatly, that Aleksei let me take his unknown unfinished story about Steed in own archive - I should admit, this is only three pages of text, story titled "Night comes quickly". Steed is investigating in the English countryside. That the investigation - is unclear).
The End!!!
Think, I will to post the news on site, when photographic material from event will sent on email.
On moment, photos from other Aleksei - A. Arsentiev.
