Looking critically, behind the scenes—and to some extend unfortunately also on the stage—this was an organisational mess. Some of this definitely could’ve been prevented – Apt and I take full responsibility for the original error of failing to secure a venue in time. Other hecticness in the planning wasn’t really preventable—there’s a reason this post opens with a description of our schedule—but will be avoided in the future. It was a learning experience for sure.

Alex, <a href="https://apt-get.xyz">apt-get</a>, <a href="https://x.com/a_nrvnqsr">mercury.lamp</a>, pachy and myself were in Wrocław<sup><a id="fnr.1" class="footref" href="#fn.1" role="doc-backlink">1</a></sup>, Poland between April 30th and May <END DATE> for <i>Millennium Strike Live WROC.WAV</i> where apt and merc were performing (B2B, under alias <i>Re;iwa Diabolik</i>). 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’t have been the same without him.

Basically all the time in Wrocław before the event was spent on… actually preparing the set, which hadn’t really been started yet, so we were mostly inside the hotel — 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’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’ve kept that history very alive, both visibly in the city scape but also in their endearing fashion sense.
