Hey everyone!!! Wow the new site looks great!! Sorry I have not been on in a long time, I was living in Paris for the past 4 months and just moved back to Chicago. So I figured I would pop on and see how everyone was. Well I need to get back to work. Just wanted to say hello.

Welcome back. Paris for four months huh? Sounds awesome. I remember when I first joined I always got a kick out of the "Falling off the stupid Great Wall of China......PRICELESS" line. Always made me smile just thinking about it hehe.

^what's the social event?

hey, welcome back Crious! we were wondering where you went. too bad we moved out to seattle, we could all meet up at the tin again for drinks and conversation. (i still can't believe you were with brooklyn mike when we met you....small world) well, welcome home and post some stories and pics when you get settled.

We're going to play poker at a neighbor's house. Nothing huge like a concert or game, but it's still something!
