-NOTES:  I hadn’t made it out to Edgewood in a while; despite the long drive and my achy-breaky knee, I made the drive after work yesterday afternoon.  Rest stop pickups on the way there:  Snickers bar, Wild Cherry Pepsi, and a refill of my water bottle.  The house was packed more than I’d seen previously for this Friday night special event, putting me back in a dark corner for most of the show.  Official Ben Simon Concession Count™ for the show itself:  One bottle of Mountain Dew.  Pickups on the way home:  Cheddar and sour cream Ruffles, Ritz Bits cheese sandwiches, and Advil for the knee (which didn’t help too much).  No one else was running shows this Halloween weekend so I’m cool with taking it easy for a few days.  As always:  Good night, good luck, and #yaywrestling.
