scary powerful !!   very well played Jimmy !

I do not see how 17....Bc3 ( in your notes) would win, ie;  18 bxc, Rxc3+  19 Kd2, Q b2+  20 Ke1,  Re3+   21 Kf1, Qe2+   22 Kg1    White is ahead a Rook for 2 pawns and Black's attack looks stopped -- unless you can improve on my analysis for Black

Why did you let him take a rook instead of a bishop?

 The rook isn't doing much on that square, but I've invested a lot a time and energy into my dark-squared bishop, the pride and joy of the Dragon Sicilian. As you can see, when unmasked, the bishop's pressure on the queenside is enormous. This sacrifice is one of many in the Dragon Sicilian. http://www.chess.com/article/view/attack-and-defense-in-the-dragon

I really like this game.  I'll be trying that rook sacrifice for sure!
