It has been raining in Poznan, so nothing much of the City has been seen.
I am feeling fine though. Always enjoy these NH hotels. I can work out, use the sauna and the steam room. If I have a steam room I will always be happy. Inhaling eucalyptus, everything slowing, the darkness, steam and mist, and tiny lights on the tiles twinkling like far away blue and green stars...It is heaven to me.
About to go to Sound check. The venue has been changed because of the rain. I hope the sound and the experience will not be compromised.

greetings from the frankfurt airport. la mar is headed to poznan for the tzadik festival. airfrance flight here, operated by delta. note to self: no delta! brahim almost didn't make it on. they could not find his e ticket info. there are these automatic check in machines one is requested to use. they don't really work. what good are all these conveniences of the modern age if they only add more steps, more complications. the self check out at home depot is more effective! i was looking forward to watching flight of the conchords on the flight over, but the entertainment system on board was out of order for the whole flight. a beautiful sunset out the window with surreal cumulus cloudscapes, like frozen spindrift in lost space. i closed my eyes and started to drift away. listening to dj screw on my ipod. no drank, but how about an extra pillow and a blanket? i politely asked the head flight attendant if she might assist me with this. you get only one!, she barked. i nodded, then walked away. then i spotted a lovely pillow with a blanket in its wrapper, sitting on an empty seat in business, started to pick it up, when nurse ratchett arrested my operation. back in my seat i asked the other flight attendant, the sweet one, who had been giving zafer free vodkas all trip, for some cozy action. why of course she said, ever so kindly. she then came with that very set of business plush for me. i wrapped up, and as i was nodding off i could vaguely hear the head attendant yelling over my head, bawling out the other for helping me out. she tugged on the blanket, but i played dead, tightened my grip until she tired of her cruel game. i fantasized a bit about yelling out at her in front of the entire plane if she dared confront me again. you have all the people skills of a cockroach!, i would say.
and now i'm here at the zurich risk management kiosk. free internet. waiting waiting, to board for poznan. risk management. drown out the noise...
