I confess; when I get new readers from another country, especially one I know little about, I read up on them. A shocking revelation for the internet, I know, someone who admits they don't know everything. Today, for the first time ever, we welcomed to the Anti-social club, Slovenia. And you can always measure a countries worth by the horror films they put out (no U.S. bashing!)
Now my Slovenian readers are laughing right now, because they probably know where I'm going with this. It's safe to say that pretty much the entire world has been upstaged by The Grossman Festival of Fantastic Film and Wine, which specializes in Fantasy and Horror. You would be correct in asking if I have not previously blogged about my hatred for wine snobs, but these people aren't Americans trying to pretend to be well cultured, and I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they actually enjoy their wine. The winners get various "Cat" awards, such as the Vicious Cat, Noisy Cat, something I can't pronounce, etc. They also have make-up workshops, piercing workshops, horror bands, rich Slovenians drinking wine, but mixing freely with everyone else. It's just awesome.
My words cannot describe how awesome a concept this is, so here is a playlist of the 2013 festival:
