BB 04/09: The Incubator: All PAX are champions today #wheresflounder #airplanehaslanded
It was good to see a strong PAX showing after the spring break "break" that many PAX decided to partake in last week. Particularity, the PAX now known as Flounder made his debut post at his new AO home.. A little late, but still there. Think he should update his TOM TOM to the mostContinue reading "BB 04/09: The Incubator: All PAX are champions today #wheresflounder #airplanehaslanded"

Backblast 4/7 – Christmas in April at #theHurt
4 PAX in attendance for this morning's beatdown: Wham-O, Zima, Miyagi, and Grinder (Q). Upon exiting the car this morning, YHC knew this wouldn't be an easy one. I'd grown accustomed to some more moderate temps throughout the week, so the freezing rain, snow, and high winds left a lot to be desired. Luckily thereContinue reading "Backblast 4/7 – Christmas in April at #theHurt"

BB: 04/05 Bayside: HIMS set their “Soul on Fire”
A day behind on this one. Personally, March/ April has been some of the toughest conditions to post in. Windy, Wet... 30 degrees. Sucks. So to wake up and it be 28 degrees, and no wind and dry actually felt nice. As the PAX can attest, we were glad it was 28 degrees by theContinue reading "BB: 04/05 Bayside: HIMS set their “Soul on Fire”"
