First off, a message from your mods:

Our hearts are saddened by the events in Boston and by every instance where senseless violence takes innocent lives. We send all our thoughts and wishes out to each and every member of this bar, and especially those who may have been directly affected. Fandom can seem like such a trivial thing sometimes, but it can also be a place of solace and comfort and if we could reach through the interwebs right now and hug everyone we would. Stay safe and stay well.

- The Mod Team
