As YHC pulled into the parking lot of Cedar Falls Park this morning he was shocked and excited at the lack of available parking spots. The massive group of MWF Chapel Hill regulars has finally begun to creep its way into Tuesdays. Shattering the previous record of 8, 17 PAX were ready to tackle the (in)famous Playlist of Pain. The darkness and cold couldn’t hold back these brave PAX who just wanted to enjoy a beatdown while listening to some good tunes.
