Normally Future is not a Mary sight but today all locations will be doing 50 Hammers IC to commemorate the shutdown. We do this Rancid style until we hit 50. Was a tall task but we hit it right.

Today I chose to have us down on dodge street as much as possible because I want us to be seen. I wanted someone driving by to think what the hell are they doing and did I really just see some middle aged men twerking on the bridge at 5:45. We were shut down for 50 days where we couldn’t be seen and couldn’t be out. And some members of the PAX were still getting together and it made me jealous and angry that I wasn’t. That I was doing workouts OYO in my yard. But at the start we didn’t know what this thing was. We thought we had a 1/10 chance of dying because we went to the gas station. I had to step away for a week and not look at twitter and slack. But then a photo was posted at the Khakis Cafe and it made me realize that it was my problem and not the men who were posting. That Khakis would give me the shirt off his back if I needed it. I got over it and got back to posting. So now we don’t have hide and we can be seen. So be proud of that f3 logo on your chest and go out and show the community what we are all about.
