Thank god this is almost over (formal sentencing still to come). We all got together last night and raised one for Steve. Some friends were sending emails yesterday with links to a few classic Steve vids if anyone's interested:

P.S. Eric's left eye is still messed up and he wears a patch, but he was able to put on his harness last weekend, hook into a kite bar attached to a tree, and work through all the different positions you'd typically encounter kiting. This is truly remarkable, and it was great to see first hand. I believe he has a neoprene patch for his eye. Can't wait to see him out there again.
