-says he'll somehow make the trip to Cleveland
-Caron is taking the cast off on Tuesday, so I think he’s going to try and be ready to play for Games 3 and 4. It’s going to be a big lift because those guys will be happy to see him back and he’ll bring his energy. And then if they go to Game 5 I’m coming in, I’m going to play. All they are going to do is just sit me in the corner for offense and I’m going to shoot threes, just in case it comes down to a game winner. I still got the Hibachi going. I mean, I can’t walk or run, but I’m going to try. Hell, I could play Games 1-4, just stick me in the corner.
So if I suit up, you all know what it’s for. It’s for three seconds left, stick me in the corner so I can shoot it. :laugh:

-thinks he and Obama would be good co-presidents; Gil would entertain, Barack would handle all the "big...important stuff":laugh:

-mentions his postseason awards (the "Hibachis" :laugh: ; has himself for "best showman," "most swag," and best looking kids <"You know, my genes is pretty good, a handsome guy like myself":laugh: >:laugh:

-Signing session (gilsarena.com) a new note: I’m going to give out some cool gifts for certain numbers. Whoever that first person is, they might get an All-Star Agent Zero jersey. Probably the top three people will get that actually. A signed, personalized All-Star jersey along with the other jersey. They’ll get both just for being up that early. SWEET!

-And the big announcement: And I got a big, big, big announcement to make in a couple days. A real big one. To me, it’s really that big. It might be Saturday or Sunday, it might be the first home game here in Washington. It’s big. It’s good, oh man.
Here’s a hint: there’s going to be four million of them. That’s the only hint I can give you. Any ideas? Maybe that autograph session that was mentioned awhile ago???

[ACW]

[GOSKINS_08]

Im getting up around 5:45 to log on and try to get the autographed jersey and shoe..I'll post here if I get it.

[Winslowalrob]

The ONLY upside to living in China: 12 hour time difference. 6 AM? Try 6 PM bitches! I am going to try and buy as many as I can and give them to my friends, and I am going to try to hook up this one student at school because he is the only Chinese kid I have ever seen rock an Arenas jersey. Hibachi!!!

I hope I do not get beaten by all you guys in America :). And the internet here is a little iffy at times, so if I miss out due to my connection I will declare war.

[GOSKINS_08]

lol, dont forget its $25 you have to donate to his foundation..Do you know how to sign up? Will there be like a link to it or something?

[Warhead36]

Four million? Only thing I can think of is maybe a Stevenson extension?

[skinsfanevan]

i've already registered so i really hope all you ahve to do is log in and click a link or something
if i have to re-register i hope it doesnt recognize my IP address or whatever and decline me

[LILShiraz]

^ how did you register? did you go on the playbook thing? it wont let me do it, it says "unable to register...undefined"

[skinsfanevan]

it was like last week, so yeah

[skinsfan07]

Why the hell can't I log in to Gilsarena.com???????

I want that jersey and shoes!

I registered last week and now I can't log back in. Maybe it did that so no one could try and cheat. I'll just get up realy early and log in, and pay. Or just leave my CPU on all night.

[TheGift]

LOL.


This fraud has resorted to being a salesman since he can't beat LeBron.

[GOSKINS_08]

Im up, hopefully I get it!

[Uncle Boy]

Go guys... the auction acutally started like 5 minutes before 6.. I was able to get 1 (i was like 9th, damn!), and one for my girl... their actually going pretty quickly, but at a steady pace..currently around 1700 as i like now.. it's dropping though, hurry and get them!

[LILShiraz]

^ got it, they started it early

[GOSKINS_08]

Where do you go??

[r2k64]

I guess I got one. I have a recipt for payment. How do you know what number you were?

[skinsfanevan]

yeah i kept trying to logon and off not realizing to go to auction haha
o well i still got 2 of the $25 dollar ones

[GOSKINS_08]

For me it says auctions come spring 2007..Where do I go?

[GOSKINS_08]

Do you have to be logged in? Im at auctions and nothing poppes up???

[GOSKINS_08]

I get this now

I am sorry. We are on hold due to overwhelming demand... please check back in a moment.

So I know where to go now

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Yeah you have to be registered in logged in.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

I got my jersey suckers. I'll let you look at it if you're lucky. Hahahaha.

[GOSKINS_08]

Damnit only 917 left and it still says to wait a moment..****

[GOSKINS_08]

How long did it take you guys to get through?

[jps36]

It took a good chunk of time for me to get through, but I got through. Hope you get one man.

[GOSKINS_08]

Yes!!!!! I Got One!!

[ACW]

Took me some time, but I got it! This is awesome: a $75 PERSONALIZED jersey, plus the shoe, for only $25, which is going to charity!

It's actually cool: ($25X2k=$50k)+($150X2500=$375k)=a total of $425k for charity.

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

Well I ended up getting three. One personalized to myself, one non-personalized for whoever I decide to bless, and one to my little bro.

Congrats GoSkins. Happy you could get one.

[GOSKINS_08]

I got 2..1 for me and my dad wanted 1..I was so stressed lol, but I got 2..Now im going to try and go back to sleep.

[ACW]

Four million? Only thing I can think of is maybe a Stevenson extension? As cool as that would be, it seems bigger than that. I thought it might have something to do w/ the DC area, but that population is 5 mil.

[Uncle Boy]

I filled out my info quick!!! I hope I didn't spell my name wrong lol seriously..

and the TEMPTATION got to me though..i could have snagged 100 but there are a bunch of kids and other people who deserve it.. i'm happy with my... 2.. LOL

keep trying guys..although it looks like it went down for a minute

[jahallstar]

I got my conformation email at 5:54 . I didn't look at what number I was though.

[Uncle Boy]

Gil should really hand out a load of jerseys to the cleveland fans at game 1 lol..we might win not to mention he'll be giving it to the cavs bench all night long LOL

[GOSKINS_08]

I just got back up..I made sure before I went back to sleep that I spelled my name right..There were like 800 left when I got mine.

[GOSKINS_08]

G.A.C.O.L.B., man do you ever sleep?

[skinsfan07]

anyone willing to sell me theirs? Or at least the folks that got 2. I forgot and I really want one.

I'll pay whatever.

[skinsfanevan]

^ if you want the one i got for my sister personalized "Stefani" haha i havent told her about it yet

[GOSKINS_08]

anyone willing to sell me theirs? Or at least the folks that got 2. I forgot and I really want one.

I'll pay whatever.

I only got 2 because my dad wanted 1, so its personalized to him..Wish I could help..They still have the $150 package I think..Im sure other people bought 2 or 3 but they're probably all personalized..

Except G.A.C.O.L.B.* said he got 1 non personalized..You can beg him for 1..lol..Good luck

[G.A.C.O.L.B.]

G.A.C.O.L.B., man do you ever sleep?
Here and there.



Yes I got one non-personalized one. Let me get it first and then I'll decide what to do with it. Someone else already asked me about it so I don't know what's going to happen.

[skinsfan07]

Man I wish I got up earlier. I was up til 1. I should have just stayed up or left my CPU on.

It would have been awesome to wear that jersey to school.

I would have kept the 1 shoe in a case or something. Oh well, maybe he'll do it again some other time.

[skinsfan07]

I went to bed at 2:30 am this morning and got up at 5:30 and went back to sleep..I probably only got about 6 hours of sleep, but its worth it..

You would wear an autographed jersey?

yea. No one would get me for it. It'd prob. wear it once though. I wore an autographed Smoot jersey to school a while ago. I'd show off the Arenas one just for one day, then put it away. :D

[909997]

whats the suprise

[ACW]

Didn't announce it yet.

[jbooma]

I think the surprise is a new extension for Arenas :)

[BayouBrave86]

Good call, I can definately see that happening.

[ACW]

I think the surprise is a new extension for Arenas :) He said there are 4 million of "them." Maybe he's getting an EXTRA 4 mil a year??

[909997]

how about now?

he said it was gonna be announced sat or sun

[ACW]

Ahem: It might be Saturday or Sunday, it might be the first home game here in Washington.

[da#1skinsfan]

I dont know but I missed out on Sat AM.

I'll double the donation to Gils charity if someone who got multiples wants to send me their package!!

[jps36]

Hey, does anybody know what a personalized jersey means? Does it mean that it has your name on the back of it or does it mean that Gilbert wrote a personalized autograph to you?

[GOSKINS_08]

Hey, does anybody know what a personalized jersey means? Does it mean that it has your name on the back of it or does it mean that Gilbert wrote a personalized autograph to you?

It means that Gilbert will sign it to you like for example for mine he will write: To Jason.
