I’m sure someone has done this already, but whatevs. I kind of like the show’s new opening, but it lacks a certain something compared to the original. I guess this sequence makes up for all that, though....

A bunch of other cool guys have already put up their reports on NYAF, and since mine will materialize formally as a podcast (in likely a month or so) this report here is going to brief. I wasn’t really planning on going to NYAF, but as the guest list...
