Bungie Weekly Update: 8/29/08Posted by lukems at 8/29/2008 1:55 PM PDTThe Bungie Seven
A Sports Anomaly The tale begins where all great stories do. On the field of battle. Instead of discarded spaulders betwixt spears, swords and crudely removed limbs, this skirmish involved pastel Umbros, too-tight T-shirts, and faux-surly delicates in a dalliance, whipping a disc through rain-blotted Seattle air. "Ultimate Frisbee is the sport of Champions." Or rather, the Bungie Seven are the "champions" of a local unofficial Kirkland Ultimate Frisbee pick-up league. Meet the Bungie Seven Young team captain Jon, the leggy sparkplug and catalyst Cagey veteran, Eamon, dips his hips when he chucks the disc Upstart fresh-face, Niles, don't let the foppish waves fool you Lithe and lean, Aaron, artful in his guided trajectory "The Mikes," skyward reaching twins of toss Jump up, Chuck, leap like you still wear youth's crown And now, for the rest of the Weekly Update...

For the folks who are unable to make it to Seattle to play it themselves, take a gander (engorged versions here): Let's head off the inevitable influx of questions at the proverbial pass: We currently have no information on how or when Assembly will be made available. When we know, we'll let you know. We promise.
