Update from my previous post - so I went to the Shadow last night for the first time in several years (since the knife incident) and yes it has changed quite a bit. Had a great time and 2-4-1s made it that much better.
Apparently that's where the cool kids hang out - oh and Crazy Mike - yes, he was there..and he spilled his drink all over the place at the entrance and he followed it up by bowing in every direction - which I thought was a nice touch...good for him
