And yes, ladies and germs, I won 4th place for my shot glass collection in the hobby competition there. BOOYA! I haven't yet taken the pictures of me with the case and the award ribbon inside, but for your reference here's the picture I took before the case was closed the day I set it up. This is only about 2/3 of my collection, by the way. Next year I'm going to submit my dolphins!
AWARD WINNING, bitches!
