for those that attended or missed it...
a couple of things... first our thanks. ryan and i were tickled that so many came out to participate with us when it was so wet and cold. guys like dave, rick, andy from cca make this easy when they help out. kevin and nick make themselves available to pitch in and make it work every time. russ, teddy, jack, and many others roll up with no expectations other than helping out. tom, jon, and others RSO'd for us along with kurt from IFC. my neighbor brian and his brother-in-law jerod always show up to help and pitch in.
if ryan and i didn't have so many folks willing to lend a hand, i'm not sure we could do this stuff. it really is the culmination of many people helping out that makes these work. so... THANK YOU ALL!
here's some pics...
