Events - demopati in Kazan: CAFe'2002 - Wlodek'a story.

        CAFe'2002 - story Wlodek'a



   'CC'02 will not! " Why so loud? .. I do not like change
habits. That came on the Leningrad station. Now on
transition to the opposite side of the Komsomolskaya Square,
Kazan Station. Paced the transition to his usual pace,
maneuvering between the leisurely shopping carts with luggage, 
walked alone. Phil and did not decide to go to CAFe'2002. Other 
Antares already got tickets in the compartment car. The site of 
the festival is the set familiar names in the registration 
section. Nothing unexpected, CAFe naturally acquired the status 
of the main demoparty year; MMA could not even campaign:).


   Quietly took two second-class ticket to and fro. Through
Several days passed second-class ticket in the direction of 
Kazan and bought new, in that compartment car, which came 
together to go Antares Konex, Andrew's wife, Irina, EA, Sister. 
Decided: nothing save, the festival happens once a year and 
come by train, coming in the first hour of the day, is not the 
case. Return ticket left, as it was. Ended in June.


   Summer - hot, dry, smoky - flew, crawled,
flown under the wheels of a bicycle, floated after
tanned boys on the lake Babaevka ... August! Heat -
exhausting, five inch glyuchaschaya Spectrum drives,
Burning jet fan - had passed, despite the apparent
eternity solar fury. Sergei Zotov was going to go in
Peter before the CAFe - described as signs for
meet their shorts. Ha ... Acrid smiley, jeans rulyat again.
Konex, incidentally, the day of departure bought new jeans and 
just because They do not missed the train, urging them to 
figure in some aunts on the market.


   On the horizon appeared v00ha. On the horizon - this in the 
forums Festival in the registration form ZXNet-portal. Agreed on

donating a computer. Dima (v00ha), Oleg (g00r00, his friend and
Countryman) and 'our' Hangman came to me three. Heaped
Spectrum Folken'a went with them initially in Narofominsk where
Society Moonshin'a remaining before departure to Kazan week was
for children is not boring:).

   On the day of departure in the morning called Justinas - 
with Belarus station, laden with baggage, no one had met, and 
without a ticket to Kazan. Cases Justinas first moved to my hump

then in my house, where he got stuck for a long time, because 
to not have CAFe irrelevant. I'm in the hut Justinas alleviate 
some their load, offering branded brew bread and stuff. Then

looking photo albums that Justinas drove to St. Petersburg to 
the site their studies. At six o'clock in the evening loaded on 
a bus and went to the train station - well in advance so that 
Justinas could buy a ticket. Ticket not found ...



            Justinas and Wlodek


   Justinas leaving in the lurch (and what to do?), Three
(EA, Sister and I) boarded the train number 28, the carriage 5. 
Here revealed Kano, Folken and Bos. Kano has put me in

aware that we, it appears, have changed places with him:).
Could and ask to change, I really would become the object? A
so ... Object was already too late:). At the last minute in a 
compartment flew Konex and Ira. Let's go ...


   Antares sipping a beer, I'm happy for them:) from Kano
comrades closed in his compartment and sat on the Internet by
laptop computer and mobile phone, catching the last
kilometers of the Moscow region, where still operating GSM 
networks. The train sped toward dusk through the thick peat 
bogs chadyaschimi Shatura District. Is behind the Moscow 
region. Leaving Internet and its coupe, the three have joined 
us. It turned out Cano likes to be fed from the palms, 
particularly potato chips:). Marianne regaled, Kano rather 
crunching. In the corner compartment through empty cans of beer 
went for a second dozen. Neighbors on carriage quietly put 
down. Yeah, schazz ... From the vestibule any three figures - 
Draky (Dimon of Obolensky), Vova Hex and ... Shoot, forgot 
again, sorry ... We have eleven! Stsenovy train!




                  Draky (Dimon)


   ... Stsenovy train cut through the darkness, elastic spring 
in multiple rotations (this is not a direct Moscow-Petersburg).

Because of the tight windows of a cool car muffled, almost 
inaudible, came hurrying the wheels and treacherously oozed

schipuchy smoke of the Motherland ...



                 Vova Hex


   In Gus Crystal train stopped, despite the night
besieged by local factory workers art glass,
offering glasses, sets and even chandeliers. Nothing has changed
1999, when Antares rode CAFe'99 - factory workers still do not 
pay wages in cash ... A Bos bought several glasses.


   At seven o'clock in the morning outside the window flashed 
farm big bridge through the Volga River, seemed pointed 
silhouettes of the Kazan Kremlin pulled straight strings of 
tramways. A look at the moment caught on the stalls, slid on 
the plate: 'PE Dissections'. Surname, probably ...


   Pulling on his jacket more tightly and opened umbrellas, we 
fell out on the platform station. We met the gloomy rainy 
morning. Cano went buy a return ticket, and we spread to the 
stands and the room expectations. Around heard pure Russian 
language, Russian was all kinds of signs. Like normal ...


   Moved to the 'patipleysu' (ugh, and could not pronounce 
this:)) ... For a start try to get into the tram at the bus 
stop. Failed, had to go on a tram:). Old-fashioned, but

peppy tram with rounded windows, seats and dermatinovymi
handheld ticket semiautomatic - '3 penny in any collection. "
No, the last - nostalgia ... How something rubles - the 
conductor ... 

   Near the hotel 'RT' group was split. Some
turned to the hotel, others thought, and still others were 
ready to knead dirt on the outskirts of the street Schapova. 
Drizzling rain all ... 

   Have found the right street, walked confidently on her ... 
Soon stumbled upon plakatiki: 'CAFe'2002 - there'. In the sense 
in the opposite side. Okay, no stranger:). It turned out we 
were initially almost there, and sparkled with Andrew:) in a 
dilapidated structure as just opposite the House of Actors, on 
the porch of which alone smoked Moonshine. Arrived!


   In the big hall was almost empty. M.M.A accepted bids
work. Lighted screens 'pisyukov'. In the back of the stage was 
a table with the real 'Spectrum' - alas, to remain as

current exhibit, all competitions then go on the emulator on
PC.

   Could be seen sleeping on a table bird:). Drawing attention 
to the as a traditional element demoparty:), I noted that if

have to sleep in the room to sleep will also except for
tables. Or on the floor. Chairs were a little chair
with arms - in a number of these are not up. That is 
sostavitto, of course, possible, but confused ... 


                Wuhan


   Tried to take pictures with Vuhoy. Wuhan fought back.
Photographed one Wuhu. Saw a screamer. It turned out he
Now Skreemah. Photographed. Scream did not resist. Roman
Gavrilov (Looker / NetSpec) not only resisted, but
rushed to me. Cheers, met in person! Photographed
Novel. He then 
filled the elegant diploma to his name, using (vodka
'Rulila'...) that any time a folder with the form of diploma
is unattended. Then the man was ashamed of yourself! A
Several days later it became clear that the second color film,
partly a photo after the festival, marred within
ten shots without any of my fault in this. Because of this 
missing Pictures taken at the Leningrad train station on 
departure day Justinas in St. Petersburg - one of Vadim, Sasha, 
was my countryman, and I was pleased photographed together ... 
Alas! glad to no avail. But, by the way, shortly before the 
festival I fortunate to meet another compatriot - was found at 
home spektrumista (!), his name is Sergei Gusev aka 
Serj-Norfolk. 

   ... Adam Bazaroff now firmly ("Shout to the Forum ')
invites everyone to speak in favor of holding the 2003 regular
Festival CAFe. And rightly so, because history and experience
Computer Art Festival is good reason to expect a new success.
Organizers - many thanks! A road in Kazan, we are now
know:).
