 Hi friends! Now I will tell you about
his trip to demopati Cafe 2003.
 In winter, the 2003rd year, I learned that in Kazan
Festival will be held next Cafe 2003.
In our group Hardwave was so clearly
positive attitude on the trip. Decided
that will go to all. The main motivation for us
was just good to relax, socialize,
and not exposed there. Moreover, we
all no longer went to the big party and
It was time to catch up.
 I keep watching the site Cafe 2003
any news out there writing. Constantly monitored
for the forum, talked with people there. Then I
some spoke with the organizers. After
Paradigmus 2003 I really wanted to
look at the organization of other party, and
then given the opportunity. Yes
and generally wanted to stay in the role of spectator,
guest of the festival. Of course, even more
plus was that there was planning
gather a large number of people, and with some people I planned 
to interview and socialize.

 In August I was a regular holiday,
all led to a trip to the party. Closer to the top
event I was to find out who will be
take tickets, and for a number. It turned out
that Draky D-juice and no money. I became
worries go alone I do not
wanted. I was constantly agitating
Juce for the trip that he took money
currently on a trip, but it was useless.
He did not want to borrow money even for me. I
was in despair. Draky somewhere completely
disappeared. Then I found out that he took a
work at herself in Obninsk. Probably for the money
on the trip. After consulting with his father
I came to the conclusion that you need to go with those
who just goes and lives near me.
The choice was one - from Moscow to face Wlodek
Black-well, and Antares. Calling Vlodek somewhere
10th August, I learned that they had long
Ago for 40 days still got tickets. Vlodek
warned that tickets for their train
may have already expired and I need to hurry. Since tickets are 
sold not far from me in the city of Serpukhov I

without thinking twice, the next day, sat on
taxi and went to the station.
After standing in line for about an hour, I have a great
his joy took tickets at the right train
back and forth. And in that strontium, I
managed to get tickets on the train, which traveled
my Moscow friends.
 Round-trip ticket cost me somewhere
in 1000. Place in the reserved seat and back
in the compartment. Then phoned and told Vlodek
him that I took the tickets, so even with
them in one car.
 I went to Moscow the day before the trip.
Spent the night with relatives. Waking up
morning, I realized that time has in bulk, I
decided to go on air - show MAKS - 2003
Zhukovsky. Yes, it was very cool and
unforgettable! I advise everyone! Well, that's
coming from the air - the show back to Moscow,
time was about 5 pm, and
20.40 departed my train to Kazan. Here is my
my sister was leaving at 20.00 to Peter I
offered to hold her to the station and the most
then sit on the train, as
Leningrad and Kazan stations are from each other in a 3-minute 
walk away. Well, this place is still called an area of ​​3

stations. Well, here I am on my station ... on
hours for 10 minutes, and nobody on the platform
no. I think the strange somehow. Here I have someone
hailing like: "Hey, Mitchell!" Turning,
I find my old friend
Ra_id-but from Mayhem. C they were some kind of
guys - I just do not remember. Then
met Zero team from Slovakia, accompanied by a Muscovite Dizzy 
from the Throb / Yomoma, who told me that he trusted

Here accompany these brothers Slavs ;-)
I even like some not particularly hard to believe that
people came from most of Slovakia for Cafe.
A little chat with them in English I
Wlodek-and saw, and invited all to move
in the direction of our train. We scored at
By that time about 10 people. Then
stood near his car and waited
others. Shortly before departure
Antares appeared, accompanied by Kano and
Bos-a. Then I have to discover our great surprise Draky, who 
then said me that money, he still found it and bought

ticket for two days in a thug checkout.
Everyone started to load the carriages. I
location was close to Wlodek-th and
Antares. The train started, and all were
settle in their seats. Antares and
Kano began drinking wine and beer, and EA all
time, joked that the MMA then obaldeet that they
come to the party very drunk. Our
trouble with us in the train was traveling from Mooh
Narofominsk and he started getting more and
more annoying to us. Let's start with the fact that
the train he sat under a degree, but already in
the train was heavily inflated than
I could. As a result of the night, as it turned out in the 
morning, he Nassau from the top shelf a woman who was sleeping 
downstairs. When I asleep at night, like he heard pouring

sounds, but he could not assume that
it pisses Mooh.
 Well, that morning. I wake up and notice
my head hurts quite unpleasant.
Had an evening drinking wine with
beer. No wonder they say that interfere with drinks
impossible. Although I only drank about 2 glasses of wine and a 
can of beer. Outside the window seemed beautiful river, and 
then Kazan. Coming out of the train onto the platform, I notice 
that Nobody meets. I think not, it is necessary

wait. And just ... some people fit
our joy and shaking their hands, crying.
The man was Skreamer / Skrew.
Then it was decided to move to the stairs,
which brings us to the station. On top
stairs, we met our welcoming
 - Tigua and Tagir. They took us to the road transport. Part of 
our crowd in nabilas taxi and then we're going to strontium

pati Place. Outside, floated a beautiful
Kazan Kremlin. We traveled about 25 minutes.
We were taken straight to the steps of the majestic buildings 
DK named after Lenin. Nearby hung people, and I started to 
shake hands with their acquaintances. People in the square in 
front of DK turned out to be a little suspicious, but I myself

reassured that all is not arrived.

  Then it was announced at the start of the pass
pati Place. With each took 50 rubles and
stamp on the hand. The next day
the same stamp, but in a different color.
 Before the start of nominations MMA solemnly
announced the beginning of the party, talked about
sponsors. I do not remember exactly what went on each
other, but like the party started with ascii.
I'm not a fan of this direction and therefore
perceive such a component without any
entuziazma.Potom was Zx-music and graphics.
As expected, during the music part
People came out. Very pleased with the fact that
number of studies have been limited to 15 pieces,
but then I was over there all ;-). At the end of
showed demos. To say nothing special.
Pleased with the work only on Omega Hackers
Group and Triebkraft. At least, they
applauded the hall, that's for sure. Place overnight
offered us an empty local boarding school.
For 70 rubles each of us could sleep
there. There was quite clean and tidy and
We spent the night there with no problems.
 In the morning we waited for the second day. Like all
held will not describe. I will only say
that everything went smoothly and on schedule.

  At the end of the second day all the awards.
Prizes for some reason did not show, and gave a
packages. Gave each medalist to speak.

 What can I say finally? In my opinion,
Cafe 2003 otrulil, and many people stayed
satisfied. The organization was on the level.
The projector gave a fairly good high
image. Stammering and different delays
was observed. Results were considered
promptly, and I appreciated it
estimate, since he participated in the
organizing and conducting Paradigmus
demoparty in the Moscow region, Serpukhov.
 Pleased large number of the organizers.
Banners of sponsors such as Coca-Cola, Parallax
Philips and others instilled some solid
event. A little surprised not very
a large number of people expected. I
honestly, expecting about 300 people,
but really at the party was no more than 150
people. But this is basically the same
normal.
 Upset by the fact that Klim / Omega HG of
Rostov-on-Don did not know the new party Place
and he came to the House of Actor. And there is not
any declared and the like. So he is in DC.
Lenin str. Kopylova and missed. Very
sorry. But people come from afar,
much farther than from Moscow! Why on
Place the old party had no ads?
 I managed to talk to and c Tigoy one
of the organizers of Cafe 2003. First learned
about it a year ago when the forum was to
www.demoscene.ru and we have a little while with him
podisskusirovoli about the different parties.
Shortly before the fest we had written off
about our meeting on arrival in Kazan
on our support to the party of Place
It bothered me then, as I did
never been before in Kazan. And by the way
Tiga was the executive human
-He met us at the station, as promised.
And although I was then calm enough already,
as it was with Wlodek Black-th and
Antares-s still a big thanks to him!
Still, nice! In addition we were met by Tigi
and escorted one Tagir. Well, the first who
saw us on the platform and shook hands, was
Screamer.
