For Whom the Bell Tolls

Saturday, 22nd March 2014 11:00am to 8:00pm

Ominous title aside, this is the last large meet that I (being Grey/Kim/Captain Crunch) will be in charge of. Our upcoming meets will instead be operated by one of our several other sexy staff members, starting with Ripp_ in April.

It’s been a crazy ride, ponypeople! Let’s hope things’ll only get even better with new folks at the helm!
