To all U hard-working, suped-up-derby-screaming,...
drunker than sin loving, streaker stomping geniuses, this collage is for U! (8/4...7am...NEW PHOTOS...more coming...send 'em if U got 'em, live it up!)

...THANKS for making HAY out of SHINOLA. And let's not forget all those dogs, cats, rats, ex-cons, exhibitionists, nudists, streakers, carnies,Yoginis, and finally shirtless dudes, coked-up townies, pretty-in-pink babies, unknown silent majority fans, and RADDY-TO-THE MAX rust-bucket reject hot wh
