4/9: Krakow, Poland

On our way out of Berlin there were some street performers around who wanted to wish us safe travels. Thanks, guys!



Here's Kirk and Rich from Blakfish, thankful to be over the Polish border (don't ask).





Poland: The Land of Lovely Rest Stops!





About 2 hours outside of Krakow we hit miserable traffic. It was so bad that everyone was out of their cars for a good 15 minutes because we hadn't been moving.



We made the best of it by having races on the highway divider.





Finally in Krakow! Other than the miserable traffic, our trip was made more difficult because our GPS didn't have any maps for Eastern Europe! We were definitely unprepared to be without directions or a GPS but we made it to the club with the help of some friendly Poles. Here's Blakfish at Cafe Alchemia.



The club was an amazing old bohemian jazz club. The backstage had frames pictures of all the jazz greats who had played there, though most of them were Polish and unknown to me.

After the show was over we hung around the club for some late-night goofing around. Note Jeff on the drums.

I wish I had taken more pictures of the cafe we played in Krakow. It was amazing, tons of people came to the show and a good time was had by all.
