Nathan is checking in now. Had a couple snafus. Apparently, Blizzard thought I was still going to be there. Unfortunately, not.
Still, it will be a bit longer before it starts. Be patient, and we will be back with you shortly.
Should not be much longer now. About 20 more minutes. Yay.
Guess I will go get a sandwich.
That was a yummy sandwich. Nice chips too.
Nathan should be getting seated about now. Be back shortly.
Should be starting soon, Just waiting on Nathan to give us the word.
Ok Nathan is in, just getting ready
Maybe I should tell a few jokes until then... there once was a man from Nantucket... oh maybe not
Come on Blizzard. The natives are getting restless.
