so we played the retox last night. it was kind of a fiasco. the Gibbs invited us to play and they were awesome. so were the Prey from san diego. anyway, we played:

fem politique
the escapist
don't you wanna play with me?
persona
fear of death
undercover lover
do you wanna mess around?
birthday suit
anal fixation
