Hello steemit!
I am the bearded one in this picture, next to me is are my friend from Tyger Lamb and his girlfriend, and the photo is taken by another friend of mine Vilim from Sound Report.
I am a man of many hobbies and interests, so it is hard to start this post with what I do. I will start it with who I am and where do I come from instead. My name is Ante Radoš, I am 27 years old and I live in Zagreb, Croatia. My origins are in village Kongora in Tomislavgrad (Duvno) in the western part of Herzegovina and Vinjani Donji in Imotski, Croatia. Although in different Countries they are only 40 minutes drive from each other. My father is from Kongra, and my mother is from Vinjani Donji. I have spent my childhood there, and I still go there at least once a year.
This is Kongora, my home village.
I am the Crowd Control of Trip de Spider studio for game development and short films. I also edit @tripdespider blog here on steemit, so some of you have already got a chance to meet me through that account. Although I work on other projects as well, Trip de Spider is the most important project to me and our little group of eight people comes before everything else.
I have started another blog here because I have fallen in love with steemit community and I would like to share more of my own interests and personality here with all of you. I am an extrovert who loves meeting new people, traveling to new places and partying. I already mentioned how I have many interests and you will probably get the best feel of who I am through them, so let's start with the list.
Festivals
This is drunk/stoned me on the same festival (Veliki Tabor Film Festival) where the first picture in this post was taken, this photo is from 12 hours later.
I have already mentioned that I am a social butterfly, so I love festivals of all kind. Music festivals, movie festivals, fantasy conventions, if it is an event with lots of people, and I have enough money to go there, you will probably find me there.
Besides being a guest of many festivals I have also organized or participated in the organization of many events and festivals. I am regular of Istrakon fantasy convention, people who organize the festival are a really fun bunch of good people, and for the past few years, I have always had some of the programs of my own there. Last year I came to the festival a few days earlier to check if they need some help with the organization and stayed drinking in the lovely city of Pazin with them (they wouldn't let me go home). Last year I have been vice president of the association which organized Zagreb Fantasy Convention and producer for the organization of PoRtaL 5, a larp conference organized by Terrible Creations and ZFC.
Chilling with the organization team of Istrakon 2017. a few days after the event.
Beer & mixology
Festivals and drinking go hand in hand, and you will rarely see me without a beer in my hand. I have always loved beer and I have tried over 500 different beers in my lifetime. Besides beer, I love mixing cocktails and inventing my own cocktails. Among th best one of my own creations is The Fresh Chill, but I will keep the recipe for that one a secret for some time.
I will be posting about beer and sharing some of my cocktail recipes here as well.
Some of my victims.
Reading and Writing
I love to read, I loved to read since I was a little kid. One of the first books I read were Alice in Wonderland and Pipi Longsocks when I was only 5 years old. My favorite genre are fantasy and satire which are nicely combined by Sir Terry Pratchett and his Discworld.
My favorite book so far is The Hitchhiker's Guide Through Galaxy by Douglas Adams, and my favorite writer's beside him are J.R.R. Tolkien and Sir Terry Pratchett.
Besides books, I also love reading comics, and my favorites in the world of comics are Dylan Dog and comics by Alan Moore.
In due time I will share some of my short stories and reviews of the books here/comics here.
Mythology
Mythology has always been one of my interests in life, I have started with mainstream mythologies (Greek & Egyptian) while I was a little kid, but since then I have explored many others. Currently, I am writing a roleplaying game which will feature many Gods from different mythologies, and I will be writing about those mythologies. My next post will be about Haitian Vodou, so stay tuned if you are interestid in such topics.
Games
I love games in all forms, be it video games, board games, roleplay or games played in bed (yes I am a bit kinky). My love for the games started with chess. My gradfather taught me how to play chess while I was a child and I still regularly play it. In the present, I enjoy larp the most. There are few misconceptions about what larp is (spread through pop movies and tv-shows such as The Big Bang Theory) and I intend to correct those thrugh my future posts. Here are some photos from my favorite larp - Famiglia Bonifacio, created by Croatian team - Terrible Creations. TC are also the source of those photos.

In the right photo I am playing Frederico "Serpente" Piazzoli
Films
I am also acting in movies as a hobbie. Currently, I and Jan from Trip de Spider are acting in a feature movie Exceptional Danger. By the end of the week, we will post a short film where I act on Steemit. Film is created by our studio so it will be posted on @tripdespider account, but I will resteem it with this account as well. If you can't wait for this to come out you can check another of our short films here.
Well, I believe I have put enough info here to give you a fine preview of who and what I am. If you are interested in reading about the topics mentioned above follow me.
