    I apologize for:
    A. If this has been posted before. I did a search on the forum and couldn't find it.
    B. Late notice (it starts tonight at 7pm)

    King, Dane, and I are planning on doing an early morning shift at this starting at 5am Saturday. It is a good cause, and playing indoor makes all your throws as good as Cho's. Miss that lil' guy.

    Hooray for anybody who got up at 4:30am and went to play. Or other ungodly hour.

    That's part of the 'tongue' collection. And it's supposed to imply a certain special happiness I derived not being up at 4:30am. If I wanted to be rude I would have used :middlefinger: or :sleepout:. Hah!

    I did contribute and get a SPUN t-shirt. :crazy:
