This Friday night, the William & Mary Alumni Association will be having their annual fundraising auction, which they alternate yearly between Washington DC and New York City. Given DC's ongoing sharknado it's a good thing that this year's shindig is in NYC at Tom Colicchio's Riverpark restaurant. Mrs. Marls and I have been the last few years and it's always a good time, especially as you try get your money's worth at the open bar without puking on the shoes of the school president. If any G:TB'ers or FOG:TB are going to be in or around NYC on Friday, I highly recommend it.
One of the highlights of this year's live auction is an item that the Teej mentioned to me in an email today. Paul's Deli, right across from the William & Mary campus, Zman's former employer, and a favorite dining spot of many not named Whitney, donated the right to name a sandwich for life.
That's right folks, you can now immortalize yourself, someone else, or something in meat and cheese. I say immortalize because I sincerely doubt that George will be checking the national obituaries in order to revise the menu board. They had this item on the block last year as well and it went for over $10 grand. Unfortunately, Mrs. Marls and I are not in the right tax bracket to be dropping 5 figures on such frivolity, but it can't stop one from considering the possibilities...
