Hey Tru any update on the status of that brick and what you finally decided to have inscribed on it?  Just curious.

Just found this old thread, and felt it needed the photo to complete it:

Ooh - very nice indeed!

What a wonderful thing to do, Truman!!

It may be the only BBM brick in the world!

Thanks for bumping and posting the pic, Paul.

Thank you for bumping this one, Paul. And thank you Truman for doing this.
Not long ago I thought of this very brick. I don't remember what brought the memory up.
I like the thought so much that there is a permanent memorial.


I settled on the wording because it represented a last glimmer of unbridaled hope Jack had before Ennis said: "I doubt there's anything we can do" and it also decribes all of us. It got us too. 

Here we are, 5.5 years later. And your words are just as Tru.
Damn, it got us good indeed.

I'm glad to be gotten, I'm glad to be Brokeback, I'm glad to be BetterMost.  :)

Wonderful thread - thank you, Truman, and thank you, Paul.

I've seen this brick.  I love this brick.  And all it represents to us.

That's beautiful, Truman, and the photo made my day!  Have you heard any reactions or comments about it?  

I love this brick.  And all it represents to us.

Whatever other differences we may all have here, I'm sure we all do agree on that.
