Lopaka! Err, Robert! Good to hear you're still around man! So I take is Hayes is no longer a member of the group then? Yeah, you and Hayes were at E3 (do you remember which year it was exactly?), then I met up with you afterwards (since I live in LA) and we hit the God Games parking lot event (remember Duke Nuke'Em and Nuke'Em girlz?!), and then ended up spending *many* hours at Spearmint Rhino where Hayes and I didn't spend a single dime, until I ended up getting one dance at the end while he still kept mumbling about "rip-off" and "tease" in his usual 'ole Hayes self! Heh, those were the times! :P

I'm still around ;) I think that Hayes was hanging with me that year at E3. Those were fun times. I wish E3 was still like that! lopaka --- On Wed, 1/7/09, Keltraine <keltra...@gmail.com> wrote: From: Keltraine <keltra...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [H] Re-introduction for Bino Gopal...
