Last Wednesday, we rounded out a very busy year with some cathartic table tennis at SPiN. Alliances were formed (mostly according to hair color), mettle was tested, mid-shelf wine was drunk with Caligula-like fervor. We'll need a few more days to nurse our wounds (and celebrate Christmas, if we're up for it), but we'll be back on Thursday with more Black Balloon goodness. 

Thanks for reading, and very happy holidays to you and yours.
