The Philliest shit imaginable

I spent the last four days at Roadburn. What a festival. Cool bands, good food, everything fairly close to every other thing, vibes were immaculate. I am almost certain to run it back next year. I will probably dive deeper later, but overall, I loved it.

3. LotR - JRRT
4. Watership Down - Adams
5. The Hour of the Dragon - REH
