Hey dude! I've been busy as hell the past few months, but thought Ross' score warranted registration on the forum. I'll have to tune in to more streams now, since it looks like competition is heating up.

Those shows should be a blast. They're on fire right now, and Wooster is a great place to see them. I'll be hitting the Atlantic City shows for Halloween. Did you get to see them this summer?

No Phish concerts for me this summer. The last time I saw them was 12/27/10, also in Worcester (a show you rated as below average, if I recall). However, I did catch Furthur twice in July (07/17 and 07/18 - Bank of America Pavilion - Boston, MA). I also attended a Steely Dan show 2 nights ago (09/25 - Wang Center - Boston, MA).

Lastly, thank you for the "Black Muddy Blog" recommendation. I've discovered some great stuff on that site.

End of topic derailment. Don't blame Corky; I take full responsibility.

I haven't watched the game, but I'm gonna propose the possibility that Ross intentionally got second place...

Second would make him, well, second, and also qualify for the KO (his priority), but would not come with the numerous additional "complications" of a new world record.

I will develop this conspiracy theory further over the coming days.

Of course Ross is sandbagging. He's been posing as a poser for years to make money in the minor leagues. He finally put up a score just to safely qualify for the majors before KO3, but went for 2nd so he could still make a big score betting on himself as a dark horse at the live event. The disheveled appearance and rambling posts are just part of his very calculated public image.

Ok, the box score is up:

Ross Benziger 1,136,500 (L22-1) on 09/26/13

I had to approximate the Level 1-1 score (it's absent from the stream). It's a small detail, but I'm hopeful that someone can provide that missing piece.
