The ball and all of the "accessories" made the trip up yesterday, unfortunately the 8-ball himself could not be here in DEN tonight. Won't be an issue from here on out!

Default 8-Ball Ceremony in DEN tonight!

Awesome! I'll proudly carry that sucker around if I ever have the chance. Remember giving the 8 ball a lift years ago and thought that was a great tradition.

Glad to see the ceremony back in in its rightful place. I heard indoc is going to be much better for the newhires now that it is in Denver. Spouses are invited and flown out for the first couple of days and they will get a tour of TK. It should make some good stories and special memories for those involved.

Please post some pics of the ceremony!

Good to hear! Any chance the winging ceremony might return as well? Always thought that was an awesome idea.
