So after about 5,5 hours of watch porn we finally arrived to the GTG and got a warm welcome from all the gentlemen from TRF
So great to meet you guy's
And Thank you Dan for organizing this great GTG

From what I have heard and seen prior I'm not convinced. I think the PIC of someone else eating the Pizza is probably just a fake.

Well I'm definitely game and now I know the mere 5 hours I set aside last time were completely insufficient, I will clear the decks accordingly for the next one.
