We all expected great things from this Demo, Rick, and you did not let us down. I have already stolen many great things from your technical portion.
Very well deserved Purple!

“Slick” Rick Ellis! As TJ says, “Everywhere I looked I saw more awesome.” Your fluidity and tempo was even more noticeable in the vid. Love the combos. Dude…you will be missed.
