A ThunderDome match. Two men enter-one man leave. I still think its a cool video. If I wasn't so unattractive perhaps I'd document my Amish live looping punk banjo shows. When I first joined the Amish faith I was worried how the elders would feel about my "live looping performances". I was pleasantly surprised to find they love live looping as long as its not pre-recorded loops. That was a big relief.
