Chapter 1 – Done!

Date: 2024-09-17 AO: 3rdf-timekeeper Q: bratwurst PAX: kirby, soft_pretzel, citgo FNGs: None COUNT: 4 A little concerned at first when we arrived at Panera to see Kirby being led away in the dark by 2 women. Turns out they recognized his F3 shirt, thought he was trustworthy, and needed directions to the CVS amongst the confusing 4 corners of Ballantyne. He played tour guide for a few minutes.
Once Kirby marked himself safe and we had coffee / sweet tea and bagels, we got down into Chapter 1.
So, we’re doing Chapter 2 next week… YHC has an outline already, so can lead it.
