RTL from a Goonies perspective
I finally got around to writing a quick write up about my experience at RTL for anyone interested. I have had some time to write it up since I haven't been able to unicycle (giving my knee a rest to let it heal). It is kind of long, but I tried to compress the info as much as I could to keep it "short". There is so much more I could add as far as people I met or experiences I had, but I had to leave out a lot.

Thanks for a great write-up that will serve, along with Steve's write-up, as a good way to summon RTL memories.
