Re: Fullerton launch, 2014

That's me. Looking for the gallery now. (I don't know why I didn't check there to begin with.)

Re: Fullerton launch, 2014

Sounds like fun. Is there an album full of pictures somewhere that we can check out?

I don't think it will ever really die. On a side note, my favorite message board to visit has about 20 full time ...
