Computers are just a fad

A little background:  In early May, 1D mentioned that he would come out to Main Thang and Q.  YHC decided to return the favor and lock in a date for 6/2 to Q at Golden Strip.  I put my name on the Google Calendar as I and many others have done for years past.
Fast forward to the afternoon of 6/1 and Sushi begins smack-talking about his Q on 6/2 at Golden Strip.  You can imagine my confusion when I checked the Google Calendar and saw ‘SPONGEBOB’ still on the date.  What I didn’t know was that there is an ‘off-grid’ calendar that is kept by 1D to help cater to the dotcomly challenged.
After some discussion, Sushi was very nice to allow me to Q at GS, and it ended with some training and access to the calendar for future enrollments.  ON TO THE SHOW!

23 men (1 FNG) showed up to Golden Strip without a clue who was Q’ing, and futhermore, how much fun was going to be had.

Pre Warm-up Speech
– When we’re running, focus today on putting that little bit of extra effort into the runs…make it burn
– FORM must NOT be compromised to be in the lead.  You are 1000X’s better off being the 6 with great form, than to be in the lead with terrible form that benefits you none.

– Welcome FNG Tammy Faye!
– Although we kid about the average age of the Golden Strippers and their lack of Backblasts…I keep having to give them props.  Those boys have some speed…and when you tell them to pick it up a notch, they pick it up 2 notches.  GREAT work today pushing yourself and everyone else
