At the October 10, 2010 concert in Warsaw, a visitor somehow managed to evade enforcement of the no-visitors policy and sneak into the green room. As reported at Notes On The Road,

A surprise guest, former Polish President Lech Walesa, dropped by the greenroom to say hello to LC and the band.

Further, a subsequent Notes On The Road post describes Mr Walesa’s participation in the troupe’s activities:

President Walesa takes part in the bands pre-show ritual of anointing oils on everyones wrists.
