DAY 14: GNEIZNO

An all-day festival in the Gneizno square, not too far from Wagroviec, in the cold and the rain (Who knew that in Poland the weather fluctuates between 80 and sunny and 40 and drizzly?). The city had a gigantic stage prepared for us, complete with big-time lights and, of course, smoke machines. Every stage we played on, no matter how small, was equipped with a smoke machine, and the Polish A/V guys would choose particularly climactic musical moments to activate them—-which we found hilarious. At Pub Max, there was even a little button that happened to be hanging down from the lights just above me, that I could push whenever I felt the urge.

Anyway, due to the weather, we ended up playing--on that enormous stage--for about seven people. And we spent most of the day huddled in a tiny cafĂ© in the square, trying to keep warm and dry, whenever we weren’t on stage. It wasn’t our most “productive” day, but the Lord had us there for a reason!
