I got some good news today, so to celebrate we’re gonna do something hard.

3/21 Veteran’s Park @F3VilleBlackOps Preblast – CI Blind Q
Alright kids, I have the Q at VP, but I’m going in blind. This could go one of two ways: 1. Great; or 2. Super Great. So, be a man and do something that will, at a minimum, be great.

2/24 Ruiner Preblast @OF3Louisville. Bring an umbrella for your tears… and the rain. Mostly tears. #syitg
Pretty soggy out there. So soggy, I’ll need to do something different than what I planned. I really wanted to use the half pipe, but I don’t want to risk a turned ankle or having someone sink to their death. So, I guess I’ll really have to concentrate to come up with something. So far,ContinueContinue reading “2/24 Ruiner Preblast @OF3Louisville. Bring an umbrella for your tears… and the rain. Mostly tears. #syitg”

Black Ops Preblast — Joe Creason (JC) Park: the Carpenter #getbetter @F3villeBlackOps
I’ve been on a roll naming inanimate objects lately, so why not continue the trend. I hereby christen the potential AO at Joe Creason Park, the Carpenter. Like the Blender, this has a double meaning. And if you’re reading anything I write, you may be able to piece it together. The first meaning is easy.

Blender Pre-blast @F3TheMutt — You may want to kiss your M and 2.0s goodbye #CIday
For a brief moment, Wednesdays at the Mutt were known as CI Day. At least that’s what I recall, and I haven’t been wrong yet. But now it’s called the Blender. This is a play on words because this AO allows Pax from different AOs to blend together. Indeed, having Glenn Ross as its SiteContinueContinue reading “Blender Pre-blast @F3TheMutt — You may want to kiss your M and 2.0s goodbye #CIday”

1/17 Bridge Preblast: CI Always Brings Gifts #getbetter
Last time I Q’d at the Posh, I brought a rig full of coupons (hand stenciled by the Ensigns). Most of the Pax out there weren’t familiar with these versatile tools, but they learned quickly. And they were appreciative. I realized last week, though, that I’d set a precedent. I guess I need to bringContinueContinue reading “1/17 Bridge Preblast: CI Always Brings Gifts #getbetter”
