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...
