Shout out to pachy for finding time and money to join us last minute; I am very very glad he was able to be there, it wouldn&rsquo;t have been the same without him.

Basically all the time in Wrocław before the event was spent on&#x2026; actually preparing the set, which hadn&rsquo;t really been started yet, so we were mostly inside the hotel &#x2014; this had much to do with apt and I being busy preparing for <a href="./premier_impact.html">Premier Impact</a> and everyone just generally being busy. Alex, pachy and I were technically free, but I was also trying to make stuff happen for <i>Premier Impact</i> still, and we all kinda hung around for moral support.

With us primarily being there for the event and it being a really busy period, I don&rsquo;t think any of us had really read up on the city very much. Safe to say we were all very pleasantly surprised! Wrocław is an absolutely lovely city; real student town energy with lots of young people, very warm hospitality and a very homely, casual atmosphere in restaurants as well.

Overall Wrocławians made a strong impression on me as warm, hospitable, humorous and headstrong people. Wrocław had a very active anti-communist resistance that they are very proud of, and they&rsquo;ve kept that history very alive, both visibly in the city scape but also in their endearing fashion sense.
