UPDATE! - Le Brick





Ladies and Dirtbags,

I am more than pleased to announce to you that our brick has been installed in section I5. Pictured above are the locator map, a piece of the letter saying how studly we are for having a brick, and a mockup of what the brick looks like. Understand what this means: we have a brick with the blog's name on the hallowed ground of the University of Florida. Shit's basically as gangster as you can get without being Bull Gator.

But this gangster shit wouldn't have been possible without the combined efforts and dollars of all of MGN faithful. Thank you all, from us all. I'd also like to take a second and thank Gatorface for facilitating the brick acquisition process. Her work is a testament to efficiency , collaboration, leadership, and an unflagging will to get money, politeness be damned-- all, quite naturally, common Gator traits.

We'll be meeting to take a picture with the brick this Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Please contact your local MGN chapter leader for further details and to register your attendance. This is a special day, a red letter day.

We are a part of the foundation. I can't fully express how happy I am about this. This is something special we have here, this Gator Nation thing. Often, I sit at work thinking about Gainesville, my salad days, and how far from there I am geographically, temporally, and metaphorically. Then I start to feel sad.

But then I remember that that's not true, because the Gator Nation is everywhere. So then I start to feel awesome again. Which is nice.

Go Set it in Stone
Go Gators.

I just shed a tear.

This was a wonderful idea Cua.

We - this humble group of blog-reading fans- are an actual part of the University of Florida now. So beautiful.

Go stone[d].
Go gators.
