Hi guys:)
I wanted to write about the best place in the World here and I hope that maybe one day someone from PJ will read it as well:)
So probably you have all heard about american Woodstock Festival...We have one in Poland for last 18years as well...Its always on the first weekend in August.3 days of peace love and music:)
This year it will be my 8th Woodstock- I was going there since I was 18...
quick history-we have that amazing charity organization in Poland called Wielka Orkiestra Swiatecznej Pomocy and there is that wonderfull man called Jurek Owsiak-he started this charity that collects money for polish kids hospitals on the second sunday of January for last 20 years, and its absolutely amazing charity-because of it polish hospitals for kids have one of the best equipement in the world...thousands of volunteers collect money in cold polish january weather-its amazing day with concerts in every polish city...
so in 1994 as a big fan of rock and roll Jurek went to american Woodstock and it inspired him to make one in Poland as well...so we had first poolish Woodstock in 1995 and since then it got bigger and bigger...
Now we call it the most amazing beautifull festival in the world, last year 700 000 people came to Kostrzyn to experience the best moments of their lifes:)at least its always the best week of my life:)
I could write about it for a long time but I will try to keep it short:)
so I remember that on the first Woodstock that I went to Jurek said from the stage that his biggest dream is to get Pearl Jam there and that he will try his best to get them someday...
This festival is for free-as a thank you to all the volunteers that collect money in january...
at first there was only polish bands there of course and they were playing only for the travel expences cause it was an honor (and still is) to play there...really guys its a place like no other-until you go there you won't know;)now we have sponsors so we can get bigger bands like-papa roach, skindred, gentleman, guano apes, prodigy etc
but Pearl Jam is still out of reach...
but I hope that one day my dream and the dream of thousands of others will come true:)
for now I wanted to invite you all to Woodstock;)
I'm in the Peace Patrol for last 4 years (its a group of volunteers at Woodstock-the same as at the american one)
in 2009 we had Michael Lang there to celebrate 40th aniversary of Woodstock '69...and he loved it:) (he is the guy that made american woodstock)
