There are no flyers as trill as this one. 9.11.2010. Let’s go. DYDC. The ConArtists Guild. DC to BC [me and my squad]. The Gee Pee [me again.].

Child’s Play. It’s a field day for adults that we’ve planned to coincide with the 9th anniversary of 9/11, one of the most devastating days in American history. We figure we’d throw something to get the community united, and raise money for a good cause at the same time.

Essentially, we just want people to come out and have a great time. Run around, enjoy yourselves. Show us how nice you were on the field in your prime. Meet new people. Play team and individual sports. Sure, it’ll be a little intense and hectic with all the people that’ll probably show up. But that’s why we got hella food for you guys, great DJs holding down the 1′s and 2′s (Tom Lim and Jerome Baker 3rd. Do I even need to say more?), and big names in the building (I can’t divulge who just yet, but trust me. We’ll have some people that’ll make you say, “Wow, those guys are here too!?”). We recruited renowned photographer Boney Starks flick flickin’, as well as my brother Jabari (who’s kind of a big deal – Google or YouTube him, you’ll see what I mean) controlling the crowd with the megaphone!

We’re working hard behind the scenes to make sure this event is a smashing success. I could tell you how little I’ve slept over the last two weeks getting this together, but that wouldn’t do anything but make you question my life choices.

Like we said, it’s for a good cause. All organizations involved in Child’s Play view September 11th, 2010 as a community service day amongst everything else. Your $5 participant fee will go a long way. A portion of the proceeds will go towards the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. Our goal is to raise enough to sponsor a cobblestone to be placed on the paths of the Memorial Plaza, a beautifully landscaped space surrounding the Memorial.

All the info is on the flyer, but I’ll type it again just so Google can soak it up for the search engines. Yeah, that’s a Jedi Mind Trick I just leaked. Eat it up, guys.
