Tally Ho Bits

And now for something completely different. The Tally Ho tacos were the best green room food ever. Silver Line Station played a nice set. There was a nice crowd. The staff was very gracious and welcoming (thanks Ripley), Don Devine lived up to his name, and we (mostly) had a good time playing for some […]
