Better Than The Olympics

August 22, 2008

So here we are at Cheyenne Mountain, NORAD’s once-super-secret underground headquarters. While some people were innocently enjoying the Denver Worldcon, or leaving their bleached bones in the cavernous convention center after foolishly trying to hike to the dealer’s room without bringing their own supplies of food and water, we— a select few of your favorite […]
