Those who make an appearance include “CPAR1″, “Knox828″ and “JungleMan” who is seen seriously enjoying is lemonade. This was the second of three free CardRunners happy hours for all their members and provided an open bar and food for all who came, so in other words, it was one heck of a good time. The video was taken about an hour into the party so many of those appearing on camera had enjoyed a free cocktail (or six).
