ENNIS & JACK
"Ole Brokeback got us good"
--- End quote ---
I never heard about this. I'm not even sure if I understand it correctly: this is a fundraising campaign from your museum, right? You spend a certain amount of money and in return you can decide what will be engraved/put on a brick. What kind of brick is it? A real one, from the wall of the museum building itself?
Or a symbolic brick of any kind? A wall decorated with inscriptions? Somehow I picture a solid brick wall, the front of the museum building, full of inscroptions. But I've never seen something like that or ever heard of it.
Anyway, I like what you chose.

It is a "Paver Brick" and will go into the walkway leading into the museum. A river of words, names and such.
I had not thought about side by side bricks, they are $125 each, until Sept 1st, they go up to $150. I am not sure they would end up side by side, anyway I think I'll just do this one.
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.

Actually, they put these bricks in a sidewalk just outside the doors usually... They're standard size bricks except they don't have holes in em.

Thank you Daniel and shakestheground for the explanation :)
