Drawn & Quartered Another Success

Drawn & Quartered II was another success. The Murray Hill Group had a very good showing in both numbers and finish. We took second by 1 point! We'll get that Dr. Sketchy group next time... Check out this trés cool photo essay done by Alex Rivera.

There's even talk about making D&Q part of the next Ingenuity Fest. Now, THAT would be something. As always, 'mad props' to Deb Steytler, without whose tireless efforts D&Q would not exist.
