San Sebastian
In San Sebastian, there was one big difference from the day before in Lisbon. It was bitterly cold, and it never stopped raining. Ah well, I suppose it's just getting me prepared for my imminent return to England next week.
In San Sebastian, we were playing at an old velodrome. It still is a velodrome, but it's pretty old and so the crew were having a bit of a nightmare. I was lucky to be well out of their way, with our stall, for the first time, being situated outside at the front doors. Maybe not so lucky - it was freezing! But as I've now come to expect from a team of Intermon volunteers, no-one complained and the team got down to the job in hand.
Spurred on by the competition for 'most sign-ups in Spain' against previous award-holders Barcelona and Madrid, my campaigners worked overtime to break the record. Midway through the evening the total stood at a very impressive 2,000. I'm still waiting for a final count-up, so watch this space.
My evening was spent bringing hot drinks out to the volunteers who were manning the stand. Oh and one other thing - Gwyneth and Apple were at the concert tonight. No introduction as yet, but I'm pretty sure she smiled at me as I walked past (Apple that is, not Gwyneth!).
