Retrospective: Halo 3 Fights Diabetes
Sponsored By
It was epic. Truly epic. Thfe stuff you tell, if not your grandchildren, your middle-aged nerdy neighbor about. We had a great time at Cinetopia and raised a lot of money for the American Diabetes Association.

Wow - congrats all round on raising money and looked like a fab way to go about it too.

Hey Scott, this was truly a great event - something that probably just had been an imagination and topic of "how it would be like if..." conversations. We had to leave at 10 to do our 3 hr drive back but we enjoyed every moment of this event and absolute best theater! BTW, thanks for giving me primer on controls :)

Not to nitpick, but isn't it technically "pwned," not "powned?"
