This year for Christmas I planned a trip to Croatia. Somehow that trip morphed into: Croatia, Bosnia/Herzegovina, Serbia (Belgrade for New Year's Eve!), and Romania.

it'll be my first time at the shoreline in ten years, but it's for a good cause: dio, testament, motorhead, and judas priest august 31.

and in other news, i would like you to meet my girlfriend:
