So, Crawdaddy cast a little shade on Fourth of July Park as an AO at Sludgefest, saying that it wasn't as challenging as Ivey Redmond. (To be fair, there was some additional talk about lighting, etc, but YHC tuned it out after hearing the first part....) So, after a sufficient disclaimer, we mosey to the … Continue reading Backblast: Red, White and Boom Crawdaddy Inspired
