Once again, the brave and the intrepid braved the sub-zero weather to pay homage to David Goodis.  It was not for the faint of heart.  
"January cold [did come] in from the two rivers, formed four walls around Hart [the loyal Goodisheads] and closed in on [them]."

We would not let the cold deter us!
To those who braved the elements, thank you!
To those who supported the cause, thank you!
To those that wanted to be there, but could not, thank you!
