Scene - from party to party Cafe'03 and FOReVER 5 party reports and comparision.
from party to party ellvis/ZeroTeam - from party to party - (Cafe'03 and FOReVER 5 party re- ports and comparision by ellvis/ZeroTeam) CAFE'03 in the summer'03 mikezt and ellvis did a little mad thing - a travel- ling little over 2000km to visit Speccy party in Russia-Cafe'03. trip was not prepared very well, we were not taking care much about accomondations or travellings. but party was the main point and it was most important. we came to the party with a lot of other people. we were little like in another world - all those peop- le who we knew about only because of demos, were in the same train with us. it was a nice feeling to see that they all really exist:) we missed the official begining of party because we were eating in close restaurant. well, food was good, just the woman working there was not really fast. :) first day of party was about Speccy. classic competitions as gfx, music, intro (512bytes) and demo. the first new thing for us was the fact, that noone there had own computer, party was strictly only for watching the production presented on bigscreen. technical background looked very good sound was great (and really not si- lent:), big screen was really big. CAFE'03 was biggest Speccy event in Russia in 2003 year and it real- ly looked like that - i think that most of all active people around Speccy were there. we spent a lot of time in talks, but we also wan- ted to enjoy the party (well, sor- ry to all who did not understood our jokes and also sorry for our not joinings of people outside as we really wanted to watch the pro- duction). nice was the fact, that mikezt took part in intro competi- tion and even if he was not the winner, he not ended on last place. little surprise was the fact, that after all the competitions the par- ty place was closed and everybody had to leave. we were little con- fused, because we had no place to sleep (and even it's not problem to sleep on the street for us, but we simply wanted some great com- fort and not street!:-), but orga- nisers finaly let us to sleep on party place. thanks to them! second day was about pc and amiga competitions. well, it's ok, just little boring after some time for me. very nice was one amiga demo pretty against USA - there were 2 guys from USA presented on the par- ty so i think they were having fun. :) well, it was another world - so much people around Speccy scene, guys taking interviews for maga- zines, lot of new productions, words as "lamer" in the air:) and so and so and so. the scene in rus- sia is really big and it's possib- le to take a lot of energy from such events. CAFE was different party then we used to know from here, but it have a lot of advanta- ges which we can't se here. FOReVER 5 i came to party very late - it was about 2am in saturday morning. the- re was just very few people-i t's little sad that people are unable to free themselves for one full wekend and friday. i met few Spec- cy people - Shrek, Dizzy, Logout and so. atari people were sleeping or away in pub, c64 the same. fore- ver is the biggest pure 8bit mul- tiplatform party in middle europe, but this friday was there just about 30 people. saturday was very good in the way that there was official program. so people were not just sitting and working on their computers, but hey had also fun with other pe- ople. it was throwing with 5,25" diskette and playing a football match in microprose soccer on c64 (well, zx scene loosed:). during saturday came the usuall amount of people, so party was on every year standart. afternoon there were some presentations of new games (c64), digisid - SID emu- lation (Speccy) and later started very long and boring music competi- tions. this time was a little problem with sound aparature, but for next years it will be better for sure. demo competition was little surpri- se for atari and c64 scene was de- mo atTRAPA by MB Maniax. both sce- nes prommised revenge, so i am un- patient to see what they will show us on next forever. sunday is just about prizes gi- ving, this time we made prizes little more better - not only t-shirts but also calculator and other stuff. -------- well, and what's diferent between CAFE and FOReVER? computers. CAFE was party for wat- ching and talking, meeting and so. Forever is also the same, but you can also bring your own computer. well, saying truth, people here even can't imagine that they will be unable to bring computers to the party. and it's not like they all the time sit in front of com- puter. the scene. well, saying truth, rus- sian scene looked to me little like "professional". like it's ve- ry strictly divided between "elite" and "lamers". here people take it as pure hobby. on both parties is lot of al- cohol:) people here visit more pubs, on CAFE they were drinking before party place. CAFE is MUCH bigger party. i wanna thank here to some people who helped us a lot. at first it's to Dizzy - he took care about us for all the 2 weeks which we spent in Russia. next is Unbeliever - we were his guests for few days and as he look like "professional elite ":), he is really a great person. next big thanks goes to or- ganizers of CAFE - well, it was ug- ly from you to let us sleep on the street :) but thanks for letting us on the party place and also thanks for the party itself! greets to all who we met there i'll not write any names because it was a LOT of people and i don't wanna forget for anyone. ellvis/ZeroTeam
