    Sigur Ros recently played in Denver with an orchestra. I very much regret not going to that.

    I don’t think people truly understand the difference between the CHL and top NCAA programs. The kid is going to be a star in the league for some time.

    Got started a little early on this years Criterion Challenge. Kicked it off with a first watch of the Red Shoes and was completely blown away. Not only was every aspect of the film great but the 4k restoration is stunning.

    While playing it I couldn't help but wish I was playing Squad or Hell Let Loose instead.

    If we are able to get enough interest, we should do a race one night on one of the platforms. It's always such a blast.

    So awesome to hear this! I have more time than I'd like to admit on iRacing and the community is major part of that. If you guys ever have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out. Made my day.
