i never need the band-aids!
I am glad you don't need the band-aids Matt! I have other friends that tend to gouge themselves every time they carve a block.
Wish I could come, this one sounds like fun, but something about the fact that I'm paying an undisclosed amount of money to go to college...
Have fun
