… Cool! Glad you liked it!

I can’t take credit for the song, as it was the DJ’s choice… my music wasn’t working.

And Terry is one of the OG freehand/5A/CW players. Few people can match his control.

I get what your saying about how this is what steve intended 5a to be like. Not just an entire divison of guys using a dice to get as many points as posible, but rather a more artistic expansion of 1a, which I think is what Jacob really intened with this fs. Thanks for posting it.
