Dark Helmet F3 Nation Nant’an on Q

Deez DOAH Notes:
I don’t get serious very often—pretty much ever—but this convergence has been heavy on my heart as Nant’an of F3 Nation. You usually just see me as the jackwagon you work out with, but this one’s different.

It would mean a lot if you showed up. Bring a guy—FNG or Kotter. We’re going to talk honestly about the state of manliness in our world and what we need to do to accelerate our impact.

Coffeeteria afterward provided by Poppins

A note from Santa traveling in his Time Machine:
