Sports fans and HWLBSers (hipsters who love Bethlehem Shoals), The Classical raised the $50 K they needed to launch their new online destination. Actually, they raised $55 K. We all knew it would be successful Kickstarter campaign.
One donor distinguished himself in the process, a Jeffory Marker. A man from San Antonio. A gemini who loves basketball and airplanes. A life-long Spurs fan. And a guy willing to shell out $5 K from his six-year old son’s college fund to help make The Classical happen.
HUGE Thanks to NBA Off-Season!
nbaoffseason:
Today, the team here at NBA Off Season, the self proclaimed Wu-Tang Clan of basketball blogs here on Tumblr, has a request. We’d like you, our ever-loyal readers, to help us support The Classical. For those unfamiliar, The Classical intends to be more than another sports site. It will hopefully take sports writing to great new heights. A lot of people that we love, and most likely you love as well, are behind the Classical. Bethlehem Shoals of Free Darko fame, Ball Don’t Lie writer Eric Freeman, Lang Whitaker, and, Tom Scharpling, the host of “Best Show on WFMU”. That lineup, in addition to the other writers they’ve assembled so far, should have you giddy with excitement. If it didn’t, get yourself to a doctor ASAP, as you probably don’t have a pulse.
We want to help The Classical reach their Kickstarter goal and at the same time be able to help you, the loyal reader. Starting today, we’re going to donate a percentage of NBA Off Season merch sales to The Classical. So, get a cool shirt and help support a great cause. It’s a win-win situation. If you’re not interested in a shirt, please donate to this great cause on Kickstarter.
