Part 3

DAY TWO


The second party day's morning was wonderful. Easily I'd reached the partyplace but no-one was there at that moment but the birds on the fence. :)



Waiting for day two



Aucon organizers whom I'd met at the subway station, came within some period of time; then, Cooler/Psycho arrived. He brought a MIDI keyboard for realtime music compo with him.




Aucon representatives: Dereck and liven


Later, other organizers had arrived (Paul Pavlov, in particular), and we started to prepare for the show. That day we had better projector (respect to KCN) with good color setup; unfortunately this one had its own bugs but we had resolved them using the TV-OUT of videocard for connection.

In some two hours, the visitors had started to come; we were afraid a bit because they were a few, but later much more people came.

Projector bugs that were successfully cured





Dreg and NiHiL, the Aucon'2003 organizers



I'd like to say that there were less visitors on the second day, as well as less bugs and more enjoyment: personally I had finally felt happy because of getting into all this... stuff. :)

DJ Psych and djv/Amiga Today





Some classic demo is on the screen



As you have already learned, Cooler had brought a MIDI keyboard this day for realtime music compo. We'd never planned this one but web-design and realtime modding compos weren't held, and we had a lot of free time. Finally, three persons were going to play in realtime but only one actually did it. The name of this hero is Equator.

NiHiL and Cooler who feels good himself ;)





Equator is still working with MIDI keyboard...





... and other sceners are still drinking in the bar: Woolf, Seth, and DJ Psych





Subway, Woolf, Cooler (in the bar!), DJ Psych, and Shaman





Belarusian demoscene classics: Kazz, DJ MoHaX, and DJ Psych





The Wisdom Sheet was popular even at the second party day





"Sceners of the Round Table": Fatal Snipe and Kazz (you can see their backs ;)), unknown scener (can't figure out who's he ;)), D-Art/Fenomen (coming up), DJ Psych, Saboteur, DJ MoHaX (with the glass in his left hand)





Misha Brom and Seth from Ellipse



Well, sceners bought a lot of beer, we had shown a lot of demos, and it came out suddenly that the party is over, and it's time to award the winners. The votes were already counted, and winners' names were imprinted into diplomas during the demoshow.




H.A. is giving out diplomas, Cooler is awarding DJ MoHaX/Psycho





Cooler is awarding Subway/Psycho





H.A., Cooler and the representative of 7dUMP -- BiTL





Cooler and the sensation of MP3 Music Compo -- Graymoon/Crolyx Team -- the first girl in party's history taking the first place!



After awarding ceremony was finished, we gave away some CDs and burned compo works for some people, and that was the end of the event.

Sceners (at least two of them are from Crolyx Team :))





Some of the Millennium'2003 organizers -- Paul Pavlov (ZX Spectrum), Griffon (Music), DJ Psych (Hidden part ;))





That's all. Hardware is packed up, and we're waiting for taxi to arrive.





The last bug: camera battery pack ran out, and I was able to view this shot only at home. :)


That is what Millennium'2003 Demoparty was. In my opinion, it was not worse than before. And since Kazz The Scene Classic said the party is fantastic, it was even better. :)

Well, who knows... Maybe we'll meet at Millennium'2004?
