Won't be there this year, but when I went in 2022 the GRM kickoff was great.

Tonight’s the night! (Well, actually, today’s the day, but I felt like quoting some B-52’s.)

Strobe Light. I still remember when they did it live (in the field next to my dorm). The place went nuts.

It was homecoming, hence the band’s return home. Good times.
