Bungie Weekly Update: 8/29/08

Posted by lukems at 8/29/2008 1:55 PM PDT

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
