25th Anniversary of Solidarnosc meets 10th Anniversary of My Irreverance

This Friday was the 25th anniversary of the Solidarity Movement in Poland. In order to commemorate this event, a massive stage was erected in the Rynek and music and other performances went on all night. Also, several old Soviet military vehicles were displayed, including an armoured 'people plow' for breaking up riots.

I paid homage to those events in 1980, by this piece of performance art, which was not appreciated by many babcias present, but was very much appreciated by a crazy old polish man with a huge beard, who said to me in broken english, "Light up a bottle of vodka and throw it at that tank...I did!" And I believed him!

Homebase

Here are some photos of my homebase in Wroclaw. I really do enjoy the Eastern European fairy tale style of architecture.

False Alarm!

False Alarm!

I am entirely to blame for the error in judgement that resulted in the last post. In actuality, that was just my Uncle "Grizzly" after he finished the bottle of vodka I brought him from the airport and challenged me and my cousin to numerous arm wrestling matches.

However, I have come away wiser from this experience. With the way that he manhandled me that night, I've come to realize that my ultimate goal will be very difficult to realize and I'll probably need much stronger steroids.

Putski Has Been Found!

Alert Alert! Alert Alert! Alert Alert!
In a shocking turn of events, I found Ivan Pustki today and challenged him to a contest of strength. I was decisively defeated by this powerhouse of a man. Below are the photos.
I, myself, am shocked by how quickly this has happened and am unsure of what to do for the rest of this trip! My mission is already a failure.

Putski mimics flatulence to further shame me after my defeat.

My Mission

This blog will chronicle my one year mission in Poland, to find Ivan Putski and to challenge him to a wrestling match. All other notable accomplishments and information will be posted along the way.

In the event that Putski is dead or I run out of steroids before I find him, my backup goal will be to grow the world's biggest Polish moustache.
