  • Albania Reloaded Pt.1 – Pre-UNUM FESTIVAL

    I’ll preface this 4-part Albania series (UNUM Music Festival, Arf’s Visit, C’s Visit) by saying that order might not be reliable. If you put a gun to my head, I believe that it was UNUM, Arf, and then C.Yeah, that’s gotta be right. Let’s fuckin’ jump into ‘er! So I’ve managed to survive Italy. Miss…

  • Italy Wrap

    But it’s all worth it, I see a roadway, and by the gods, a lamp-post with a lit street-light. CIVILIZATION!

  • Italy Pt. 3 – White Wedding

    It’s possible I tear up a bit. I resist the urge to pelt Danvinci and Wifey with the ceremonial rice as they walk down the aisle, and chuck it at some of the boys instead.

  • Italy Pt.2 – Ghost Town Paradise

    Tronca is starting to look suspiciously like a ghost town. We haven’t seen a single person so far other than the restaurant staff and the guy who dropped us off; it’s more than a little bit unnerving. Reminiscent of Leo and his wife’s dream world in Inception, where they have an entire world all to…

  • Italy Pt. 1 – The Janky Journey

    The driver can tell at this point that he’s doing something wrong, based on how agitated I am. It finally dawns on him that maybe, I want to eat pizza, at the restaurant, in town, at the location I have marked on my GPS in front of his face, while miming myself eating a pizza.

  • Albania Pt 4. – EDM + Laughina

    I mean shit, she’s really attractive, but I don’t think its like I’m the fuckin’ Hunchback of Notre Dame. If she’s playing in the Chel, I gotta at least be in major juniors, might be swinging above my league in the pure physical, but you gotta believe we’re at least playing the same sport

  • Albania Pt.3 – Cankers, Streamin’, + Italian Senders

    So while he’s occupied with the Russians, I put my arm around his girlfriend and start chatting her up. Tell her that since he’s hitting on girls in front of her, he clearly doesn’t deserve her and she could use a real man.

  • Albania Pt. 2 – Shenanigans + Anecdotes – 1

    I enter through the street-level steel gate and descend some stairs until I arrive at a second, closed, locked door. There’s a camera outside the door where they note my arrival, and I wait no more than a couple of seconds before it swings open and a big, burly, Albanian bouncer opens the door and…

  • Albania Pt. 1 – Scama Basta, Asian Slappa!

    A few more drinks and shots later, I get accosted by a dangerously good looking brunette. I decide there’s not much of a point in being at a strip club if you’re not going to engage in a dance or two, and start chatting the Russian up a bit over more drinks. In the back…

  • Paris Pt.3 – The Crew is Old

    Ah fuck, what a fucking dilemma though. I can see the excitement in Vid and Shaon’s eyes, they know that I can bring that degen energy, they both have gfs and are slowly winding their lives down, and this could be one of them BIG NIGHTS where we do crazy shit.
