I might make it to the show for a little while, but I'll have to see. Flight gets in at 10:40, shuttle to ANA will get me there around 11:30,...

The dorm area of the college, where many attendees stay, has the "lunar lounge," which from my understanding is basically a coin camp...
If you're a betting man, put money on it. Also pick Green Bay to beat the spread against KC in Super Bowl I.
Nothing jumps out at me that would disqualify it from full bands, but if there's a hit on the bands that doesn't show up in the pictures, it's a...
