As my train pulls into Prague, I watch the thick, overhanging clouds looming above the historic Bohemian city with concern. They obstruct the sun, bring rain, potentially spoiling the mood for everybody. Not the best conditions for a three-day music festival. Music? Indeed. I'm on my way to the 14th annual Obscene Extreme Festival. As the name suggests, this is not gonna be your run-of-the-mil... Read Full Entry

I've posted a link to this on a few Athiest FaceBook pages. I would put it on the Christian pages, but I think they might try to have me banned from FaceBook if I do. ;)
