CFT Twitter Countdown

While I sort out all 505 photos, 12 videos, and all the nick-knacks I picked over the event I’m going to share a portion of my Twitter feed counting down the days until CFT after I registered at the last minute. Its going to be slightly edited to protect the mildly innocent and amend some typos, but you folks can follow me or read the whole thing at @hawkfeather13. Its a good wall of text, but still worth sharing none the less :slight_smile:

I know present to you “32 days before CFT in 140 characters or less”:

Okay, need flashlight, CAMERA, First aid kit, backpack, Badge?, and so much MOAR. T-minus 32 days and counting.
