And here we go again. As with last year, thanks to covid, I will not be taking my yearly European vacation with my students and will thus be able to devote much more of my energy to working on my Hooptober watches. There has been some talk that our Europe trip might morph into an East coast trip this year and thus the name of my list (along with a nod to my old friend Jason of course).
As always, thanks to @Cinemonster for all the work he puts into making this thing go, as well as to the many others from this community that make this such a fun time. Also, shout out to my buds @TheRabbidCow and @ChadHaynes…
