“At the appointed hour, 15 PAX assembled at the appointed place.  Prior to departure, King David was met with numerous inquiries of “are you the Q King David? who is the Q?”  King David did not confirm or deny, but rather instructed the PAX to follow him into the gloom.

The PAX headed up the sidewalk, and took a sharp left down the stone staircase into the stone circle.  In the predawn gloom, the PAX noticed the shadowy image of a lone man, dressed only in bad ass black, standing motionless, solitary, in the middle of the stone circle.  The mind of the PAX began to turn, who was the man in black?  The PAX quickly found the answer, as a sharp “Circle Up” was cracked out from the man in black, as if spoken by Paul Bryant himself.  The shadowy figure was a ghost of F3 past – Mr. White Shoe – back from the operating and recovery rooms of Rex Hospital after a 2 month hiatus.  The beating commenced.” — King David
