With all the retro pictures... Litchfield 1990. It may have been the first Litchfield for the Panel, and it will be at this one!

It would be nice if the weather was great, but we had a great time last year, even with the cancelled show.

:shock:

that's pretty f*cked up if you know what I mean. I think there is a video of him falling off the stool that night :lol: I know the guy on the left, unsure of the guy on the right, but that stunt turned his face into a black blob :lol:

Thu May 12, 2016 6:01 pm

Hmm, now that I look at that pic, it looks more like the Terryville camping area. Anyway, the blacked out face guy's name starts with an H, and he works (worked?) for some fancy VW magazine.
