I almost named my cat Tux n Tennies because of his coloration and markings. I couldn't think of where I got that phrase from and now I know!

[Cartman]

Is that the yearly event where a room full of people pretend to be real Spur fans?

That is it alright! They pretend to love the team only to get online and discuss trading them later. :lmao

Never been, but its actually scheduled finally for when I'm here. I just might have to go.

Don't waste your time.. It's probably gonna be full of baseline bums that will always have more money than you and will always outbid you. Good cause though.

Eh thats fine, it goes to a good cause.

The dinner plates themselves are charity so thats reason enough to go right there.

[duncan228]

We've had great reports back from people that have gone before. It's supposed to be fun, even if you can't bid high. I don't remember anyone ever saying they were sorry they went or that it wasn't worth it.

[Spurfect]

I work for Southwest Business Corporation/SWBC so I'll be there volunteering. I have no idea what I'm doing yet. I'm just excited to go!!

I thought it was great.

Me too. Glad I could watch it.

[Spurfect]

I just came back from Tux 'N Tennies and it was so awesome!! I got to see most of the players up close and I also won a pair of autographed shoes from Oberto. I was SUPER close to winning a pair of autographed Tim Duncan shoes but this freak came in and outbid me right in the last 5 seconds!!!!!!!! :bang

[duncan228]

Glad you had fun Spurfect. The live auction was cool to watch, it must have been great to be there for the whole thing. Congrats on the shoes.

Dude, I got an autographed pair of shoes from the Spurs' big man (or Argentinean)!

Dude! Tim Duncan (or Manu Ginobili)?

No, Oberto.

:p:

Seriously though, that's still pretty awesome.

haha, i know. i was really bummed that that dude came and outbid me at the last second. I had bid on Tim's shoes all night and was standing guard over them. when the last ten seconds were there I thought "this is mine" when this photographer dude came in and made the bid. I was crushed! :depressed

there were so many amazing items to bid on though. I bid on a lot but they got pretty high. Manu's shoes I think sold for less than Oberto's. BTW Manu looked so hot tonight :wow

[alamo50]

Manu's shoes I think sold for less than Oberto's.

How much did you have to drink?
