The Art of Performance

August 20, 2019

WHEN: 08/20/2019
QIC: Cosmo
PAX: GTL, Boyardee, Brotox, Catskill, Castaway, Scapula, Green Acres

Was pleased to take Catskill up on his kind offer to Q at The Jag. (The headline is Jaguar’s tagline, for those of you aren’t into luxury brand marketing.) It’s an awesome site. Check it out some time!

Happy to have Castaway and Scapula agree to join from SoDu while Bellhop held down the fort at The Piranha. Three of us met Brotox and Green Acres for a fellowship ruck so YHC could explore the site. Post-ME, Green Acres demanded his money back from this little tour, as we never wound up leaving the parking lot for 45 minutes. Oops. Next time!

COT

Catskill encouraged PAX to sign up to Q at The Jag. Brotox mentioned the Iron PAX Challenge coming up in September, and we discussed possibly having The Jag be the weekly site for Iron PAX competitors in Chatham, like what Tobacco Road is doing in Durham. Stay tuned.
Prayers for my wife’s friend Lauren, who has a mass in her lung that likely is cancerous.
Prayers for Green Acres’ daughter Tessa, as she likely will need another ear tube treatment soon
Prayers for Scapula’s son Riley, who is off to Elon this week!

YHC took us out.

MOLESKIN

Always fun to check out a new site, and The Jag definitely has plenty to offer, most of which went unexplored during ME. Thanks for the PAX for sticking with this down and dirty affair. Hope to get back out to The Jag one day soon. An honor and privilege to lead, as always.
