Preliminary 7.1 quake just hit.

Hearing it's near yesterday's epicenter (Ridgecrest) again.

Much, much stronger than yesterday. (USGS site seems to be overwhelmed)

WNBA cancelled Aces game. NBA stopped summer league. Dodgers continued their game.


USGS calling Thursday's quake a foreshock of today's 7.1. Part of a earthquake sequence. Epicenter in the middle of NAS China Lake.

I didn’t feel either quake. I live in the SW off of FT Apache near Blue Diamond. All of my friends in Summerlin 3 miles away felt it. Weird.

Anyone headed to the screening of Making Coco tonight? Grant Fuhr is my favorite goaltender and I’ve been looking forward to seeing it. I can’t wait to meet him.

Jeopardy James wants to rock VGK sweater during championship tournament, but they don't allow licensed merch on show (excluding college tourney).

Totally missed this. How was the movie? Why was Grant Fuhr in town? Was this the premier?
Excellent documentary. He was in town for the Las Vegas Premier of the movie. Previously premiered in Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto last fall. It will debut on Netflix in October.

Mark Shunock, the arena MC for Knights games hosted it at his venue. Grant was great to talk to. Spent about 10 minutes afterward speaking with him. Then I headed down (uninvited haha) and met him and his friends at The Long Bar in The D. It was an experience I’ll never forget. Bernie Nichols was there too. Super nice guy. He lives in Vegas, and Grant is looking to move here from Palm Springs.

Wow, this is amazing. Sounds like you had a blast! :thumbu:

Just watched the trailer & now I bummed. Had I had known about this ahead of time. I absolutely would've attended.

I had only heard about it because someone promoted it back in April on the Vegas Valley Hockey Facebook page. Then didn’t hear a peep about it again until 3 days beforehand when Grant tweeted about it. No one in my goalie group knew about it and they still had a packed house.
