Filthy Drains Challenge Teaser

Just another little teaser video I threw together for the Filthy Drains Challenge. As you can see its right next to a bottle-o. Be there December 8th to get loose and have a good time. The jam will start around 2:30 and should go well into the night. Please don't go to the location beforehand as the last thing we want is the spot getting shut down a few days/hours before the jam. -Mitch
