Hey Pat - I’m with you 100% on that. Minor bumps and they will be corrected.

Hey Matt, was it advanced? Hmmm I must first think about that one. But my honest opinion is that everything went really good from my perspective and the bumps that occurred will quickly and swiftly be corrected by Danny. I am going to write about this more, but my quick take is that as far as a first try of a obviously challenging thing (”advanced”, er, what is that and how can that be defined for everyone?)this thing rocked.
This is mostly due to the fact that I didn’t have to pay for my drinks, but even beyond that, I gotta tell you, this thing was successful from just about every angle and I truly expect the hiccups to be gone in the next one.
