I’ve been in the arena since 9:30AM today, with the final game tonight at 9PM. I’ll back here tomorrow to retrieve the arena strobes as I’m sure I’ll be sitting here until nearly midnight editing and sending images from the final 9PM game. You can do the math I’m sure… Stay tuned, more to come for sure. ~cg.
