This was the final Gruesical! It’s been a marvelous run, and tons of people helped make this madness happen. Thanks to @Ramblegrue for making everything possible, and thanks to everyone who joined me on this ludicrous journey.

All the titles below are live linked to Xtube, so just follow the clicks!

The main camera cut out in a few places, so we had to substitute footage from the Go Pro on the rig. Sorry about that awkwardness.
