Details
Category: Articles
Created: Saturday, 14 February 2009 09:04

I was able to get the crew back together and make it to Shot all the way down in Orlando. People actually friggn' scheduled this time to we were some busy mo-fos! As usual, wish we had more time to see all the great new stuff. Youtube fortunately has HD capability now so look for "Watch in HD" in blue text under the video interface.

I slacked photos pretty hard, but here is a quick dump gallery for those interested:
