We all want to know when E2 gets there, in their grand sleigh, chock full of negativity, attitude and special kind of stupid heaved upon the hood.
Actually I was on the planning committee for this event. We decided to close the main entrance to increase safety. Enjoy everyone!
Somebody still needs to close your main entrance. And all your other entrances too.
