Introduction
La Luz PreBlast 5/24/21 0515 NEW AO GRAND OPENING!!!Good morning Men of F3Naperville. The anticipation is over. A few of us have been fortunate to Black Ops this AO for the past 6 weeks. For kids like myself who grew up in The City of Lights this is a dream come true. We will ignite many unlit
we will reach many sad clowns and invigorate male community leadership. Here’s your formal invitation to tomorrow’s festivities. Leave the coupons at home and lace em’ up for the grand tour. HC in the thread

The Thang
Thang One (casino parking garage on River & Galena)
Run up the stairs on the SouthWest entrance, hold plank on top floor for the 6 (Aurora History was shared)
Assemble 4 lines and run Bernie Sanders facing Leland Tower taking in the views, hold squat for the 6
Mosey the perimeter of the 5th floor, butt kicks, high knees, regualarrrrr, again soaking up the views.
Run down the stairs on the East of the garage entrance, hold squat for the 6 in the tunnel.
The “tunnel” was in my plan yet it turned out way better than I had anticipated. I simply wanted to continue the sight seeing yet The energy skyrocketed, at least I felt it did. The “tunnel” is the covered bridge that connects to the casino’s main parking garage on New York St between Broadway and River.

This time around the tunnel was not in my original plan. I thought let’s recreated what happened organically. We held squat and the PAX two at a time ran through the middle as we all cheered them on, run to the front, hold squat, and repeat one more time.

Be the person you needed when you were younger. -Ayesha Siddiqi
La Luz gives us a platform to do just that. We not only strive to invigorate male community leadership but also to become the beacon of light our city desperately needs. We will do so by becoming our best selves, our most authentic- genuine selves, aspiring to reaching our potential and then bringing others on the same journey. The journey of Personal Growth.
A lot of us Aurora natives don’t come from the “nice” neighborhoods and to be honest its not something we’re necessarily ashamed of. It’s our story and we wear it proud. Auroran’s LOVE their City. In spanish we call it “Aurorita La Bella” aka “Aurora The Beauty”.
I wish you could had joined us. The words on this device doesn’t do the EXPERIENCE justice.
We prayed for Wedding Planners 2.0 and 2.1 doctor visits, Cap’s FIL Jim, Half Price’s MIL, and Tini’s brother Tom.

I was ready to play like super bowl Sunday!
The night before I was at peace, more excited than anything. My M asked if I was nervous and I replied YOU DONT KNOW ME SON, kidding kidding (that only happened in my mind). I was at peace, I knew what I wanted to do, I remained flexible as the HC’s were rolling in. I kept thinking what can we do to one tour as much as the AO as possible and two keep everyone together. On my ride to La Luz I chatted with the Big Dog upstairs, He knew I wasn’t scared yet also that I couldn’t do it alone. He was in the mist of us this morning. Last night before we called it a night RC shared some wisdom I implemented immediately. You guys didn’t know it but we actually had 6 site Q’s today. Sweeney Todd is our official Monday La Luz site Q yet Blow Dry, Sun Devil, Flush, Wedding Planner, and Boxcutter all had a copy of our route. We worked together and it was smooth as butter. We were committed to giving you a Grand Opening like no other. We wanted you to walk away with your mouths open. We wanted to ignite your flame just a tad bit more.
My wish is that we did that, my thoughts is that we did.
All Glory to God!
Aladdin singing off…
See you @ the Top!
