First things first. Joel’s Dream Team is now Pain Cave Explorers. Next, I did some preliminary scoring, saw how the teams were ranking up (they were already pretty close) then placed the remaining few free agents on the teams in order of highest ranking free agent, on lowest ranking team, then 2nd highest ranking free […]
Last month we had a big group of masters from the Sweat Shop competing at NorCal Masters. DJ did an great job putting together this highlight video, especially considering the song he used came out almost 30 years before he was even born!

I’ve recently created a Sweat Shop store that is currently open, but […]
