New England Ice, 1-4 March 2002
Hurry Down Doomsday

Jerry was a race car driver
22 years old
Had too many cold beers one night
And wrapped himself around a telephone pole.

Brian, below the final ice bulge.18


18This was my first experience with "hero" ice and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I later described pro as an "afterthought" driven mostly by guilt (at not having placed much). Moreover, I think of this pitch as my first real "technical" ice lead, a feeling no doubt spawned by the fact that I have P1 of Hitchcock wired now and have banished my first and somewhat terrifying lead of it deep within my psyche as being "not too hard."
