SO.  two things:

1) i know everyone is wondering when we are going to post photos from our grand slam (taken by the amazing canh solo)...WE HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN.  we are currently in the works of creating a photo gallery on our website!  so please be patient! it will be up soon.

2) our annual slam series is over...but that doesn't mean the fun stops!
