Well, a big shout out needs to go to Mike and entire Legend Brands team for gathering so many misfits together. There was a terrific amount of time, $$$ and energy that goes into organizing and co-ordinating something like this, and I assure you that it is very much appreciated from the other side of the fence. To get to know people who you only normally see via their online personalities is always interesting and fun.
I apologize as some of the photo's below were taken with my i-phone and they don't take the best images in low light situations.

I actually just plain apologize for this full stop. This was the final end of his 'performance'
