What people are saying
I'm going to have to pull some magic out of a hat because there's absolutely no way I'm missing it.
All that stuff is so rooted in a specific place and time that carries a lot of meaning and a lot of memories, so I'm just stoked they're back.
I couldn't believe it when I actually got through because I rang 15 times in a row, and on the 15th call I got through, so I was stoked.
