first, a BIG congrats to Gord and the guys for enduring the tour
it's been great reading reviews throughout 2008 coming from so many members
many light-hearted popular games/lists/quizzes have intertwined (and hopefully not stolen any Concert thunder) themselves amongst the more 'current Gord events' threads
we now have quite a variety of lists that may be nice to have as a link off the main page (similar to photos, etc) for any newcomers
