The July 4th holiday (and its notable absence in Canada) probably explains the lower Behemoth numbers, but great job on the accomplishment!

...All right, I'm sure this might confuse people and convince them there's a new chat this coming Saturday, but it's definitely related. Piranha-3D arrives in theaters August 20th, and that sound you hear is Dave packing the tent to be first in the inevitable line campout. http://bit.ly/b4PZ3U

Gamechanger.

Bob Probert passed away after suffering "severe chest pains" on his boat in Lake St. Clair this afternoon. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=533819

LOL at Hanno in the background. "BEER: Why not?"

Interesting article by Slate, once again calling it the Harry Potter theme park. http://www.slate.com/id/2258081/

+ + fo' LIFE.

"That's HEDLEY!"

Felt it up in Northern Michigan, just south of Mackinaw. Closest park would be Michigan's Adventure and I have no idea how they fared, but I'm gonna assume they did just fine. EDIT: They probably felt it due to the park being so dead quiet.

Mikado! Holy crap those things are huge!

Just got home and logged on, where for a brief moment, John Williams was streaming live on my computer. I can die happy.

LOVE this! still remains one of my favourite Disney shorts. This + Grizzly Flats + subsequent BTTF reference makes this one of my favourite TR's to date.

Some sort of live feed thing happening tonight at 9:30 EST and Friday at 9am. Friday's makes sense, but anyone know what they'd be doing tonight? A test run? http://www.grandopeningwebevent.com/

Will Six Fags Magic Mount Him be included as an Easter egg on the DVD?

Currently watching the Brazil - North Korea match. Anyone else doing a double-take every time the announcer says "DPR" (for Korea)? / "DPR: Dictators - Communism - Football!"

Universal just announced that John Williams will be at Friday's grand opening.
