Welcome, By-Godders, to the Shotgun/Throwdown, brought to you today by Stroh's.  This goes to eleven.

It's seems the reports of my demise were pre-mature.  Lew-uh-vull week is well under way and the Krag is in fine form.  Hopefully we'll get to see a diary entry sometime soon.  It's also video day here at the Shotgun/Throwdown.  So get yourself some popcorn, sit back, relax and enjoy the shows.  Tips and requests are always nice.  Let's get it started...
