Awesome of the Day: Play Paintball With the Cast of The Wire

Live in New York? Have a few hundred bucks of disposable income? Then you could have the opportunity to live out one of the Paste Staff’s all-time dreams.

This Saturday, you can run Hamsterdam alongside Omar, Snoop Pearson and Slim Charles and play in a paintball tournament against the cast of HBO’s The Wire.

The Streets Vs. The Law Paintball Tournament this weekend at NYC Paintball is a benefit for Moving Mountains, a nonprofit organization run by Jamie Hector, who plays Marlo on the show. Moving Mountains is a group focused on motivating inner-city youth to achieve via mentoring in the performing arts.

In addition to Hector, cast members Michael K. Williams, Snoop Pearson, Sonja Sohn (Kima) and Anwan Glover are participating.

To make your dreams of Baltimore streets/law supremacy come to life, you’ll need to cough up some serious scrill. The cheapest package costs $750 for a team of five. The top package, which costs $2,500 for the team (or $500 per person) will get you an opportunity to play, equipment, a VIP gift bag, VIP tournament seating, a private meet-and-greet with the cast, a seat at the honorees’ luncheon with the cast and a week with a personal fitness trainer. Plus, it’s all for a good cause—100 percent of the proceeds goes to Moving Mountains’ youth summer program.
