I loved the show! Thanks for depicting us so well and cutting out that hair scene. Maybe BGP can be on another show so that we can get more than 22 minutes of fame.
Dropping a note to all my fellow Bullrunners: Hope all is well, check my photo album I just posted many behind the scenes photos from the show, there is at least one photo of each of you. I also encourage you to share what you have. Take care!
