Yesterday, finally, Nick saw Mitch & Mitch's show in Warsaw, in a nice theatre space (where i can't remember the name, because i wouldn't be able to spell it) ...was a nice show, although Nick found the first songs from the new album better than the last ones... Mr. Moretti is indeed a good entertainer for the public... anyway, they had a strong surf influence in their songs, reminded me of The Ventures in some case, some parts instrumental, some with voice... made the people dance. Today Mr. Skolimowski, old friend star journalist from Warsaw, might take us to The Car Is On Fire in Hybrida space. Should be worth seeing it... and Nick might do a poster design for our fabulous friend and musician Patryk who is planning a new record. So there is lots of things to do the next days.... hope this finds Julien well in LA.

News from Polsku
Because Julien seems to be very lazy in LA having barbecues and driving around baseball stadiums, Nick will post some little flash-news from Poland. ...OK, Nick is also a bit lazy but this is because here it's DARK DARK DARK most of the time. The sky goes gray at about 2pm and at 4pm it's already night... in fact it's quite warm for winter in Poland. Surprisingly. Anyway there is enough vodka in the freezer of the well known studio at the CSW to keep us warm.
Saturday, Nick has been to the opening of friend Agata Bogacka showing new paintings at Raster Gallery. Very crowded and afterwards again to the legendary 55 klub in the Palace of Culture (which has shitty decoration now), local hero DJ friend Artur8 and some Gigolo dj from Berlin (DJ Naughty) ...after some shots of vodka Nick found his way home somewhen around 5am. The beginning of the week was calm... Nick mostly spent his time with buying food and organizing the studio, also a bit of drawing, cooking, and today visited a fabulous old bookshop and bought some nice old postcards for Julien and a polish Western movie book with excellent photographs. There is some meetings scheduled with old friend Jacek Skolimowski, next monday at a Mitch & Mitch concert which will be fabulous for sure.
Some news from LA too...
After 6 weeks of blue sky Julien had to make it through a few days of Los Angeles fog. Driving is no fun these days. But he had at least two memorable encounters this week:
A banjo-cowboy in Park LaBrea playing cowboy tunes to passing pedestrians (video will be uploaded shortly), and a very nice Culver City gallerist who knows a lot about baseball, has a second gallery in Dallas and is actually originally from Texas (addendum: his gallery assistant was by far the more memorable part, hum... hope it wasn't the wife).
Other than waiting for the sun Julien has been driving a part of Mullholand Drive today, in the fog, passed through a couple of Canyons, in the fog, and celebrated Thanksgiving alone in the fog since the invitation to a dinner got cancelled. So long...

Back in WARTEXAS!
Finally Nick arrived in Warsaw after a long long ride with the train - and three polish hijackers in his compartment (smuggling four bags full of Schnaps and Vodka). After a short visit to the unique 24-hour shop opposite the castle Nick went back to the studio with some sausages and beer (yeah, they sell beer now!) where he met with Inaki, the new resident from basque country. Definitely a rioteer. yeah. more later...
Simultaneously, in Los Angeles, or eventually 9 hours later Julien opened a tiny bottle of Vodka he brought over from Poland - one sip and the world was alright. Yes, definitely more later, ...time to get things started.
