Just a quick note that I really enjoyed this one -- it was shorter than some of your other episodes, and I think that made it easier to digest, perhaps? In any case, after listening, I tracked down 720 at Galloping Ghost and played it for a good half hour. I still sucked, but thanks for the memories all the same.

PS: GGA just got an authentic Wacko cabinet (everything is slanted), so check it out next time you visit.

Cool, thanks guys. And yeah, I would love to see a Wacko cabinet in the flesh -- I'll definitely check that out the next time I'm in Chicago!
