Team Fort Wayne is buying a brick.

Wait.
You want more?
An explanation?
A brick is a block of ceramic material used in masonry construction, usually laid using mortar.
There, happy?
Oh, you want to know why we are buying a brick. Ok, here's the deal. Hippies like to have things, but they don't like to pay for things themselves. Hippies don't like to work so they often lack money to buy the things they need, like frisbees and weed. Ordinarily hippies will try to barter for the things they need and offer up something stupid like sidewalk art or a song, and then gullible yuppies will give them money thinking that they are supporting the arts. Yuppies like all social climbers since the Medichis think supporting the arts is important; this is why NPR is still on the air. (But i digress.)
The hippies in Columbus want to build a bell tower at their Hippie Market. Like all hippies, they'd prefer if someone else paid for said tower. This is where Team Fort Wayne comes in. Since its inception the various members of TFW have gone on the illustrious careers. I remain a lawyer, Jarad is a dentist, David is an electrical engineer, Michael Martin is a civil engineer, Eric Martin is an attorney, Michael Sonksen is still in grad school but will soon have a PhD. So we are the kind of upwardly mobile types that hippies like to hit up for money and in this case it worked.
One thing all TFW members have in common is that we all love the hippie market. Every member has fond memories of going to Columbus to play in some tournament and eating great things from the hippie market. Now that we are all in the process of scattering across this great land we call America (Canada and Mexico do not count) what better way to commemorate TFW than to buy a brick in the bell tower of the Hippie Market.
There will be a number of activities taking place to finance said brick. I will be holding a series of retro drafts. Rav, GP, DS draft; Mirrodin Sealed; and best of all an Asian Invasion money draft. Yes, and Asian Invasion Money Draft, you figure out how you'll read the cards. Mike will be charging a nominal fee for the use of his place at Origins.
And finally to satisfy your curiosity the brick will say:
TFW LOVES
HIPPIE MARKET
Now i hope you are all happy.
Later
