Upcoming blood drive June-ish COT: YHC with the takeout
The down side of living in Steele creek became evident today when YHC sat in traffic for 20 minutes. Apparently closing 485 to all traffic causes traffic jams at all hours of the day. Huge thanks to Mighty for getting the beat down started until YHC arrived 15 minutes late. 30 minutes of that weinke was more than enough,
During the pressing, snatching, and other sundries, the PAX enjoyed the dulcet tones of 80s rock hits, courtesy of pandora. Icky provided the music a 9/10 due to the inclusion of final countdown, can’t win them all i guess.
Thanks for the chance to lead boys, always a pleasure
