Slot Art Festival, day one. I gave Martyna a lift to work, went back home and panicked, since my plan was to depart around 10 am and I was completely unprepared... but after running in circles around home I decided to stop, think what to pack and managed to take my stuff, pack my exhibition and be ready for departing in about two hours, so at 12:30 I was already in my car, driving towards Katowice. Picked up two friends there, we had a traffic jam before Wrocław, but at 16:30 we were already parking our car and putting up our tents. After fifteen minutes, I was already thinking "why, oh why, did I not come for that festival ten years ago!?" - but a realization came quite quickly: Kazzi, stop crying like a baby. You won't change the past - there is only the future that awaits You, so get Your sh*t together and go enjoy the moment! Well.. that was a break-through. I put my exhibition to where it should be, met people responsible for it there, managed to have a quick tour around the place, enjoyed "2Tm2,3" band concert - first in eleven years! And... and after that, everything went completely unpredictable way.
After midnight, there were concerts in a chapel, from which - instead of going to sleep - I went to visit another cafe, that was open 24h, and talked with the crew until 4 am., then managed to talk to a young man who was underlining things in a Holy Bible. Within 30 minutes we talked about faith, life, longboarding... and at 4:40, I was giving him a lesson of longboard basic dacning steps, feeling happy as hell - I never expected, that I'd be doing something like this! About 5 a.m. Filip gave me some Yerba Mate - and that was the moment I have fallen in love with this wonderful plant. At 6 the showers were opening, so we both went there, then - he went to sleep, and I decided to go to a petrol station to buy some throat medicine and breakfast for the volunteers :)
