A situation made significanly better by koláče and klobásníky at Hruska’s in Ellinger

Elijah ruins what could’ve been a lovely overview of what the venue looks like.

Our fearless leader, Mike, makes the opening annoucements.

Another great couple of shots of the venue.

Hand-drawn proxies are always appreciated.
