They're back...
Field Marshall Michael Koretsky (Florida Atlantic University) and his First Amendment commandos held forth in K.C., and along the way converted many to the crusade.
And, the Cereal and Critiques and Costumery and Halloween held forth until the wee hours with late-night snacks (again for the always starving college crowd) and informal critiques from seasoned advisers. And, after two years of being dished out... this is becoming a serial cereal event and another extravaganza from Chairman Koretsky and his deep cover operatives.
