this place has meant a lot to me over the years and has served as a way to connect with fellow barners in an otherwise mostly bama orbit and definitively BAMMER family.
it still seems like yesterday we lost legendary bunks like dtrudeau and chattiger (along with several others) and nothing makes the inevitability of time more apparent than losing those we care about along the way. how this place has responded to FAMBLY has been endearing, tbh, given that most here are perfect strangers sharing a common slightly challenging fandom.
my favorite memories here are probably meeting
@Eagle5 for some boiled bbq at SAWS and the first bunk get together at landry’s (rip). the portable creed wall was breathtaking, and being graced with a handshake by
@Jay G. Tate himself left me starstruck.
those were simpler and (winning-er) times. 🥹
