Kraftwerk in Krakow.

Sounds fab! my new partner is part Polish so I may have a translator :)

I was just thinking that September was looking a bit empty.

Put me and Roy down for that.

(I'll tell him later)

Has anyone got any details..? A link or anything..?

There's a pic of how Kraftwerk are getting there on their website!

Lazy bastards - back in the day they'd have cycled that.

Hmmmm, Kraftwerk on my birthday....

Just checked the dates. Term time. I have now decided that being a teacher sucks.

And I got a tax refund this week!

Post of the Day right there.

lets hope they all make it for these, Florian was absent on the recent US tour.

So some Germans are rolling into Poland in September and are going to stay a while. Is this the 69th anniversary tour?

anyone from scotland going? any tips on which airline etc?

Hmmmm... Tempted, as I've never been to Poland before (got to try that Wojak beer!), and it's in September which is looking pretty empty gigwise at the moment...

Oh, and I've got some holiday left... :)

Hmmm....

Cheeky!

Jim wants only say, it's a festival with 8 days of german temporary music, and he's joking. But I think, he didn't see, that they play even music of a man with the name "Goebbels" there.

Cheers Norbert, didn't see that! If I had and didn't comment it would have shown no balls. It's a pity they haven't got The Young Gods out of retirement to play the Kurt Weill Stuff, that was great!

Aberdeen Order will be in der Haus.

I've got a crate of it in the spare van I picked up. Thats what you get when you employ a load of Poles. Also got a crate of one called whatever Polish is for 'Headfuck'.

I am tempted too. Might have to visit Poland in a bit. Feel like reversing the trend.

How could you turn down a chace to go to a gig in Krakow's OLD LENIN FACTORY

Will have to hold off booking a few weeks while I sort out some shifts though :\ohwell:

Thanx for the info El Jarvo...

change of plan.

Probably doing the Saturday gig on its own now.

It really did take him that long to work out that teachers get the weekends off?

So where abouts in Poland is Krakow?

Flight booked on the Saturday at 735am, gets in at 1105am from Gatwick.

Will book flight back into... erm... Liverpool tomorrow, basically thinking I'll be at Uni somewhere up north.

Can someone email me hotel details as and when they are booked? Cheers

cheers for the info, hope this is doable for me.

Not trainee teachers, they normally have shitloads to do on a weekend. Incidentally, we can all legitimately refer to Liam as a TiT, Teacher in Training.

as usual, the scots are getting shafted when it comes to booking flights, much dearer than the rest of the uk and im struggling to get the days/flights i want. pah!

I'm on, too. I'll fly from Dusseldorf to Kattowicze on Friday and return on Monday with Lufthansa. Transfer with the bus or train to Krakow.

Was looking at flying in on the Friday night & coming back on the Sunday daytime...

How much are the tickets for the one day..?

Cheers in advance...

Yeah, I've been looking at that - £56 on RyanAir, right?

My Polish friend says the venue is 40 mins out of Krakow...! Not sure how right she is though. Anyone know what the transport system is like?!

That's going on the Friday morning and coming back the Sunday morning.

well, boo bloody hoo.

I have no fucking clue where I'll be living in three months time, yet i've sorted something out. Why not just book a train or a coach down to another airport?

2 flights a week direct from "Glasgow" Prestwick.

I'll probably fly from Aberdeen down to Gatwick and on from there, or to Schippol: I bet you can fly from there.

You can fly anywhere from there.

they're at a festival & they are playing three nights there? weird festival.

have to see if can fit this in with all the weddings i've got lined up this year

not mine

my head is bustin trying to get these flights organised. an obstacle at every turn.

Well dont go then!

fly out fri morning from glasgow via luton back monday late afternoon via luton again which is going to be a drag especially after a few days on the sauce

that's a lovely offer col, but you're just not my type.

& typically the one in september is on the 20th.

they must do more dates though, shirley?

hibster wrote:

I suppose they might, it's more and more common these days. It's not a polite way to decline a wedding invitation though. I'd make an excuse rather than saying 'praps catch you at the next one ;o)'. If you are close you are to these people, it might be better to go to the wedding and hope that Kraftwerk play again soon. You'll be missed though.

I ain't going.

any ideas about when tickets for the gigs go on sale?

nevermind.

Where does the gig take place? if its anightmare getting back from I might just head straight to the airport ont he sunday and not bother with a hotel.

Have you told Nobby yet?

I am a cock

Err... had everyone else spotted this?

Edit: Now I'm utterly baffled. There's no mention of KW on there.

Something tells me this isn't the last time I'll be baffled during this trip...

Last years Colin.

You just caused a bit of panic when I thought had my flight dates booked for a thursday and that Kraftwerk arent on it.

Saw-ree!

Last year's looks shit.

Jert sent me this link - Nowa Huta. Centre of Nowa Huta is roughly marked by the 'A'. Went for hotel 'G' to the west, back towards the Market Square. Figure it's equidistant, sort of, between the centre and the gigs?

http://www.TravelRepublic.co.uk offering best price for the Justyna at the mo'.

Thank You. A good Price. I've made a map of it: Krakow - Krakau

The Steel's factory was called Lenin's Factory until 1990, since then it's named after the engineer Tadeusz Sendzimir.

Brilliant work, Norburt!

Looks like the top hotel. Aberdeen Order will book everything up tomorrow. We're flying Sleazy Jet from Edinbugger Fri morning until Sunday morning so just two nights of Werk for us.

I've just had a conversation with a Polish about Krakov. It's very beautiful, apparently. Then she pointed at my shoes and said 'nice shoes, sorry' and pissed herself laughing.

So I won't be wearing those shoes to Krakow...

Anyone wanna share for all 3 nights?

Any news on tickets yet?

As of last week just me, John, Christine and Nobby. I dont think Barry is up for it.

Alex had friends in School?

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!

Booked my flights - out Friday morning, back Monday on the same flight as the London Order.

Great, jert all round

For example I am Kloot's Johnny. But I think, you can't know this, because you were pre-liquid at this time. :D

Let's hope the Germans and Poles have made friends by September. They certainly weren't on best terms over the weekend...

Are tickets available for the gig yet? I would hate to book the flights/hotels/etc if I couldn't go to the actual gigs!

good point well put.

Gigs?

I know, I had to ask!

Don't think they've liked each other much since about 1938

It's my hope that the Vikings will use our trip to Krakow to encourage those two proud nations to put aside old differences and learn to love one another once more.

I tried my best in Vienna on Sunday, pissed and armed with face-paints.

It still didn't work though...........

Pearls before swine

Now I've got my Passport done and the Fixture list has been released, I might have a look at doing the Friday gig and flying back to Liverpool Saturday morning.

Does anyone know when the tickets go on sale and where we can buy them???
