6 gathered for the 12 Days of Christmas set. Elsinore suggested some background music, so I hit shuffle on Spotify. Had a little Dylan(Diamond Joe) and Allman Brothers(Stormy Monday Blues) pop up and that’s all we needed to get us through. Maybe we should try some Superchunk next time to up the pace a little. 25 PaX, including 1 FNG, started their week off right at today’s edition of a North Hills. Proper disclaimer given, and off we went.
