In the very early morning in the fall of 1979 a particular beach along the Aegean Sea in Athens is nearly deserted. You have not yet slept, as your crewmates have gotten ahold of your judgment once again, and you have been out all night.

Hot: My awesome Lorem Ipsum shirt provided by TeeFury, makers of fine, rare designer tshirts. First off, it was great to see everybody again!
