2008 - A Year in Review

This is the final post for 2008...This has been the first year together on the net (under the blogspot roof) and we would like to thank everyone that read, commented or just passed by our spot.

I won't go into details about the year that is about to leave us (at least not personal details). I won't be bitter either...So I'll just leave this year with memories and a recap of our favorite albums...and of'course with many wishes to everyone..

The Team

Athens66 started off as a common project by a bunch of friends but quickly turned into almost a personal blog (although some remains of previous posts can still be found). Currently, the Team has been narrowed down to two members, who besides being old friends and schoolmates share the same joy for Music, Movies, Alcohol and Pro Evolution sessions.

The sole purpose of this blog is to shout out whatever comes in mind about movies, music, reality, fantasy and all the rest. Nothing posted here is to be taken seriously, but then again what is? Since this blog is still quite fresh, we are definitely open to suggestions and directions (although most of them will just be ignored)
