First visit to lokal_30




First day of video editing work. The Macintoshs are collapsing. Julien also. Causing to the computer problems. Nick got his transparencies and was happy to get started with the car drawings. We had lunch with Ula, one of the assistants. Again borschtsch. Julien had...? YES!... pierogis... while Nick took the spinach-crepes. In the evening we accompagnied our curator in chief - Marianna - to an exhibition opening. Nick had a talk with Marianna's brother about polish football. He will watch a league one match, probably Legia Warsaw with us (YESSS!). Marianna was a bit ill, so we had just a quick drink and returned to the castle. Cooking. Vegetables and rice. Nick got a bit pissed and melancholic in the internet chat (girls probably), while Julien started to edit some takes. The week will be horribly stuffed... interviews, meetings, roads, jeeps, rock and roll. Quo vadis Warsaw?

day 9
The meeting with Michał was postponed to Wednesday. Means no car yet. Julien worked on the video, Nick did some drawing. Went to see lokal_30, the appartment where the exhibition shall happen. Nice place, kind of an old run down appartment that wouldn't hold more than 40 people max. A little balcony which gives right on some wicked one-storied building where an after-party could very well happen. 70s interior - not Texas, but Las Vegas for sure.
Nick had his daily beer after that while Julien went to the Yann Tiersen concert with Josée. Support band: Snowman - some weird (polish?) post-80s-fusion-kitsch with a saxophone that almost blew our ears off. A great time.
