Thanks Buzz. Hugs

[powdork]

it's fixed during the commercials. (and now fixed completely)

this will be cool with this playing while the masters are on the telly

[Hutch]

Heh. I had to go back and see if I typed "jacked." It seemed out of character.

[2Planker]

Am I the only one memorizing sponsors? I haven't seen a live feed yet.

[TyWebb]

got a little snippet of the pain train. Dudes looked pretty dogged.

[karma]

Are they really delaying the event for the internet?


looks like we're starting....

[samthaman]

is the connection sucking for anyone else?

[powdork]

does it always snow there when it's bluebird?

[powstash]

<kicking back in office chair> It's MONEY for me - so cool that they can pull this off....

[karma]

is the connection sucking for anyone else?
