Moleskin: YHC changed into his F3 attire at work. As expected, there were questions: “Where are you going?”, “It’s raining”, “You’re working out outside in this heat?”, “You’re crazy.” Then there’s the traffic, the sun, and the humidity. A thousand excuses to come up with by 6:00pm on why I can’t make it. But if you conquer all that, you’ll be wonderfully surprised to find a great AO and some of the best F3 guys around. Great to meet Slider, Banksy, G Force and Birdman. Well done today boys.
