ruda slaska, poland

We went to Poland today. Lenin was excited because we got to go to his hometown before going to Ruda Slaska and we got to meet his mom. I swear we need to have a mom in the van. She had coffee and cake ready for us and she gave us various medicines that we needed to take care of our coughs, indigestion and stuffy noses. Moms rock!

Afterwards, we played at an actual club. Not a squat, not a bar but a club. It was very apolitical. We played after Eye for an Eye which has a HUGE following here. In comparsion, the crowd response to Riot Cop was super-weak. During the show, Al broke a guitar string and didn´t have a spare. Sucky. The whole vibe of the place was all testosterone punk.

Afterwards, some friends of Lenin´s took us to an abandoned movie theater which is being squatted by them. Dominic said it was spooky. I thought it was pretty cool. It was something new at least!
