It was somewhat curtailed the results held in Kazan
CAFe'99. So what good is a party brought Samara? Our
upbeat musicians Maxi G.C. Xanth and the team took AdelaidA
a number of prestigious locations in the music compo. Maxi also 
put the best to date, demo work at BK, but it took only the 
second place, losing to the demo, containing almost no code at 
all, but very humorous (BlAME'a syndrome). Incidentally, in the 
Samara masterpiece BC-muscular coding used music MAST / FTL, so 
that if there is an opportunity - Must see!


Worthy of all praise Virtual'a / Scene which finally
won the ANSI graphics compo, "overlaid" with the two sides
most Crasher'a / jUSt-X. Remembering NICRON, and wants to
say, "Samara came back with a victory!".

4K intro GReeD, collected ALK'om a few days under my
leadership, and not reached to the promised third place for
borrowing which it actually created (400 rubles = 30
l Zhigulevsky = rulez). Incidentally, it is unclear how
100-150 people attending the party, could nagolosovat
by 8.000 votes?? Again, probably counting was carried out for 
some unhealthy pattern devised in someone else's sick head.


Most, of course, pinned ANTARES'y ... Well there EA
took first place again in the music-compos with its frank
commercial modules (good, but still poppy!). Well, in
moguchest FIL'ovskoy graphics, I believe, although the 
first-place until not seen. But here's the ZX-demo compo 
ANTARES'y otmochite a cruel joke. With the words Maxi G.C. it 
was like, # 13 bank memory of the collected Finally DEVOTION'a 
authors have forgotten at home in Moscow, according to this 
demo Again, as in FT'98, demonstrated in part that

principle has not stopped her to take first place. And yet, of 
course absurd, when such is not to say the least here you work, 
take first place, and their authors get any no money in it

While in some Dzerzhinsk, a week before CAFe'99, Eternity
Industry simply "give" the world is really decent as the first
places, and prize money job, next to which no
ANAMNESIS'y, 63bit4 and DEVOTION'y not lie. Anyway, the people
won and done! Here are just gather there on arrival
ANTARES'ovtsy demo to the end or not? It is a matter of course
interesting:)

Unfortunately I was unable to obtain exclusive
Reports from Samarans who first visited CAFe'99. Xanth Recalled
inability to write at all, and Maxi GC Though agreed, but not
able to implement his plan by reason of death propeller on his 
PC. By this, to complete the review of the party, I decided to 
reprint this BORN DEAD'e report CAFe'99, written by a notorious

Manwe / SandS. However, because of the specificity of the 
author, we again almost learn nothing from this report on 
Spectrum part of the party, but pretty prosvyatimsya in music

trends:)

-------------------------------------------------- -------------

  Impressions of CAFe'99 demoparty (Kazan, 28-29 August).

  Manwe / SandS (manwe@chat.ru, www.sands.da.ru).


    For the delegations of Moscow residents (at least that part 
of which included me) impression of the party and the whole 
trip in general remain strictly positive. I think, and other 
visitors got a lot of fun - party held on the eve of the Day

Independence of Tatarstan, and pre-atmosphere enlivened
all around: on the main street (almost a copy of the Old
Arbat Street in Moscow) workers enhance all kinds of garlands, 
and under they rehearsed orchestra performing a surprisingly 
pleasant and variety of music. So, walking in the morning in 
search of familiar food (in the sense that in any cafe menu is 
available from with names of dishes that you could have one of 
these names break down language, so book yourself dishes we do 
not dare:) We stopped to listen to some jazz quintet (oh,

as we Maxi G.C. admired the sound of live jazz shock
installation! :). And when a familiar food was still found
(The town's only McDonalds), excess free smiles we
were also located opposite the almost symphonic
orchestra (twenty people ... hmm, well, that's half Symphony
orchestra - too well) delighted us popuri of the works
Bizet:) As a whole central part of the city produces a nice
Impression: The low tidy streets (except for a few
ruined houses:) and friendly atmosphere. True,
Traffic lights are extremely rare, and they served the most
part of the decoration, as it works properly (not all,
of course, but nonetheless:). So, following to the venue
party, we have loads of positive energy that was very
By the way, after sleepless nights.


    Before you begin to describe what is going on
party-place, I want to share their opinions on
organizers. CAFe'99 - the only one I have seen party, on the
where mistakes and failures, if they admitted, were not caused 
by disorder, hysteria or stupidity organizers (as

in many other party), but only inexperience. That is, they were
quite prostimye shortcomings, because it was seen above: 
organizers make every effort to party like visitors.

This is very valuable. And the whole work was done in a 
coordinated rather (Which is quite surprising, because at the 
party were represented by 4 platforms, each of which took care 
of its own team. As such number of people work together 
seamlessly, it's hard to explain). All took place very quietly, 
without nerves - this has and atmosphere of party, and the 
temperament of the organizers - it is obvious ground of the 
strong and precise work. 


    With regard to party-place: cinema houses of culture, ie
large screen, full blackout, good ventilation, a powerful
sound system, microphones on stands, seats in excess
lounge, snack bar. The projector, at first glance, no worse than
Bytefall'e, however, as it turned out, without the possibility 
of Brightness / contrast / hue, from which an image

looked small illuminated and slightly yellowish. Nevertheless,
full blackout facilities - this is a big plus, thanks to
that the image still looked good.


    Of the downsides should be noted first of all mono sound 
(same the problem is that at Sound Storm'e). It turned out, the 
organizers, saw two large columns on the edges of the stage, 
somehow did not even thought to check the amplifier for mono / 
stereo - type, and so it is understandable that the stereo. 
Logically, and nothing reprehensible in this, however, whether 
the kids more experience in conducting such activities, they 
would check everyone, even the most obvious, a trifle. That's 
why I say that if there have been shortcomings and, it is only 
by inexperience ... Then, in a demonstration of work in 
categories such as "intro" (ie without music) is a leading 
always something to comment on and otherwise joking obvious to 
the audience was not bored. Caring for the audience itself 
itself laudable, but in this form completely inappropriate, and 
what was reported to the organizers. On the second day of the 
defect was Fixed (again: how much attention and respect for the 
wishes the audience!). In addition, regarding the music 
competitions: a very sorry that our train arrives after the 
commencement of party, as a result of What we have managed only 
to the very end multichannel music compo. It is a pity, because 
only the next song contest (4 channel MOD) managed to hold a 
human being, namely, to rebuild, Finally, the sound system 
(never trust Defaulted settings! :) And provide output to the 
projector room of the current work (instead of every time to 
declare a microphone). But important that any disadvantages 
were noticed immediately corrected, no did not apply the 
principle "and so will come." 


    With the negatives, like, clear. Everything else - plus! :)
Gay (but not noisy!) Atmosphere, lying in a period of time (in 
both day party ended not too late, and there was time

socialize, to look at the projector and all sorts of videos 
demo, and during the breaks could go to the cafe), girls ... :)

It should be noted that the non-competitive time viewer is 
invited enough variety of entertainment. For example, people 
from different towns showed their commercials (something 
reminiscent of HRG-shnye video:) and I am honored for the 
audience prosvyatit foreign demoparty, that is, demonstrate and

comment on the video with EuroNews on Assembly'99 (thanks
Digimind'u who heroically pumped me multi-megabyte
MPEG modem!). Has also been shown to work with Assembly 
animation compo (second place - the most valuable thing in my 
opinion), which caused a lot of smiles and loud applodismety 
(as, indeed, testimony after her demo "SPASMO - Impossible 
Mission"). K Unfortunately, the projector did not go demo 
"Moral Hard Candy "by Blasphemy (she has some tricky video 
resolution), but intreguyuschee "now you see a better demo of 
the creation on a PC Recently, "and delivered to the elevation 
of the monitor, so no However, chained to all the views - deme 
was shown and also evoked applause. During another break 
occurred traditional children's entertainment - a three-time 
viewing video 'Bill Gates and cake, as well as a story about 
the first public demonstration Windows'98 (when it hung in 
front of millions:). Occasionally pause filled with music, but 
not just so, and with a sense of what reported by the 
inscriptions on the screen, type "Assembly'99 MP3 music compo, 
1st place. Purple Motion ", etc. Then another CocaCola drinking 
compo, Wild compo ... In general, what is happening was pretty 
varied and interesting. No less interesting events ensued, and 
in the evening / night time: walking around the city, appending 
of entries, etc. By the way, one night walks could end up 
spending the night for us on the street (we returned to the 
closed door with intercom system inoperative), if Nazgul / CEG 
with grace zapravskogo ninja would not siganul bolkon the 
second floor and get inside, and descended to first floor, nor 
would the door. 


    In general, the funny moments happened at every step, not 
only describe. Individual frames: a thick mustache (and drunk) 
in a conductor train for a minute looking at a big surprise

PPE drawstring bag with debris in a bucket ... and after him
can still focus the mind, with the words "Those guys myself ...
This is not a place for trash ... "otrabotanym movement
throw this bag in a box train. Or fallen asleep at the
awards ceremony after a sleepless night Maxi GC, which
sleepily crawled out on stage and instead of relying speech 
issues the phrase "Thank you all, .." in a tone that is usually 
added "All are free." And the idea of ​​warm pizza, iron to 
iron it? A only learned the Tatar word "gafuytgs" ("excuse me")

used instead of interjection? Or comment leading to
64K-intro "intra this could compete with the works of the 
competition megademo "and my sarcastic" is exactly the number 
of bagels "... No, it was definitely fun, and I tell you, is 
for one this should go to the party in another city.



    On the submitted papers. Well, 4 channel MOD compo, as the
quality at the Russian competitions and to the best
foreign counterparts:), and we do not disappoint. Unconditional 
masterpieces Two modules from Maxi G.C. But, however, were not 
very successful work.



    Graphics ... In 3d-render brayzovskie dominated landscapes. 
In Competition draw graphics very good works, but by the 
standards of Bytefall'a they would fall somewhere in the middle 
of the resulting list.



    Multichannel Music (I listen to it at home) - it was
even some very professional work (Xanth, Maxi GC and
etc.) were just lovely and good things (Megus, EA, Maxwell ...),
but there were strangely low quality. Why is "weird"? Because
that still held preselekt, and I am afraid even to assume,
What are thrown:) Although, from a chosen two works
should have been disqualified: one was exposed to
paradox'99, another very similar to the remix of (forgive me, 
the author I take off my hat to him when he himself plays 
guitar, drums and sings with perfect English pronunciation). 
None less than half the work is worth it to keep them in a 
collection modules.



    Intro ... I'm a little confused right now and not in a 
position diferentsirovat work on the nominations: PC 1Kb intro, 
BK 4K-intro, ZX 4K-intro ... Like, everywhere there was good 
work. That PC 4K-intro, I still somehow managed to remember: 
two works were very much interenye.



    Demo compo smallness was not held. That is one DeMouy still
brought, and the other did not have time to finish, etc. Full 
competition did not, as the authors demonstrate the 
non-competitive (ie, we :) Did not want to. Well, that's okay - 
in my opinion, no one upset. But it was his short animation 
compo (think Four of the works, and quite funny).



    After the animation compo organizers withdrew count
vote (for the second day since the first was calculated before)
but we found behind the scenes the old piano (with razdolbanymi
keys, but perfectly tuned!) and appeared unclear
from girls-bitlomankami sang "Imagine", and behind it, and
"First Night By The Sea":) It should be noted that even in the 
absence of Organizers people behaved very well. After closing

party in the room was rubbish ... one bottle of beer. 
Everything. While the people were a hundred people:)



    Well, in the end will follow the traditional (but very
Sincere!) thanks to the organizers and wish them to
CAFe next year even more successful.


    P.S. Yes, and, of course, take this opportunity to convey
hello, etc. :) In general, hope to see all the interesting 
people who happened to meet at CAFe'99, the next CAFe and

Other demoparty. Well, I congratulate all the winners and thank
rivals in music competitions. That is:)



    Bye. Yours Manwe / SandS.
