Dzien dobry!
Isn't technology wonderful?
Here we are, in the 21st century, and a little bit of ill communication between us and those chaps at International Omni-Mega-Communications means that Fortress Gigwatcher is cut off from the real world. Apparently a crack team of engineers is beavering away (ooh, a dam, nice!) at fixing the problem, thus you good people out there in the real world will have received this missive sometime after I've sent it. The rest of us are getting withdrawal symptoms from the lack of internet access (or maybe that's just me) or attempting to better our Mini Golf scores.
And so, after all that, welcome to the Polish 'special special' Edition of the Gigwatcher. There's not all that much special about it, and only a hint of Polish, but considering I throw this thing together in about 10 minutes flat (and make it up as I go along) there you go.

As soon as I have a spare ten minutes or so I'll add those into the SoMC Events Calendar. There they'll join all the other gigs I find out about in my meanderings across t'interweb. You have to be registered on the SoMC forum in order to interrogate the Events Calendar; if you're not registered then, well,
Ordinarily I'd pick some imminent gigs from the Events Calendar and plop them in here, but for earlier explained reasons we're stuck in the 50's here. So, instead, here's the heads up on a gig in beautiful down town Krakow (where I'll be) this weekend..
Chumbawumba @ The Rotunda Students Club, Krakow - 06/10/2006
Whatever will the Poles make of those mid-90s agitprop indie types? I may find out on Friday, depends whether or not we've found a Polish version of Scandals or not (which is entirely possible, we found one in Prague!).

The Tacheback campaign finished at the weekend, at which point those taking part here shaved off their funky face furtniture as soon as they possibly could. As mentioned before all involved were cultivating hairy top lips in order to raise money for the Everyman cancer charity. A ballpark figure on the monies raised is around the "one followed by three noughts" mark, so a big thumbs up to all of the chaps who took part (and didn't wuss out like me) and another to everyone who donated. If you would like to donate then links (to both their website and photos of the guys taking part) can be found here.
Not content with growing a 'tache for charity, Young Brett will soon be taking part in the Great South Run for a very good cause, more information on that next week.
And that's about it for this week; as they say in Poland, do widzenia!
