This was a good time!

I got in just before the film clip was played. It was filmed at The Tote and unfortunately i can't remember the name of the guy who made it(i'll add it here when i find out!), anyways it came out looking really cool. It was a cold and rainy night but there was a good group of people there for the showing. To celebrate it, the guys played a few songs.

PUB FOOTY

So the Old Bar Unicorns were beaten by the Bar Open Bats. Tote Hotel beat the East Brunswick Eye-Gougers in a close battle. There's talk of a few more teams for next year, perhaps i'll play too!
