- Spud called for a defibrillator at least once — but he kept at it (T-claps)
- Beano brought a deck of cards but never used them — many were curious, many more were fearful
- Welcome FNGs Ron Burgandy and Silver Bullet! 83 souls have now posted in Columbia sinc #BigBlast
Announcements:
- Race Jersey order deadline NEXT SATURDAY 2/16/13. Order on the website
- Interest is growing for 2.0 day. We need to get it on the books and work out logistics
- Twitter chatter yesterday alledged Greenville’s #SwampRabbit had as good 2ndF as #Columbia. The gauntlet has been thrown down. More to come. #LizardsThicket smokes any bagel joint.
- Finally, huge T-Claps to Tajh and Spooks Chair for organizing and hosting the Happy Hour on Saturday night! It was a total success, and we will definitely do it again!
Missing the pax and the pain. Red eye tonight from Maui and looking forward to Tuesday in the Gloom.
I’d have some sympathy, Mission, if you’d said “the red eye from Cleveland.”
