[fred33]

anyone has a recap?

[manudo22]

yeah,

I'd like to know how it went.

[Kori Ellis]

Sorry, I didn't go this year. I'm sure someone on the forum did though.

[T Park]

Doesn't Spurschick and Angel Luv usually go to this?

[duncan228]

I can't find anything. No recap, no pics.
I was hoping Duncan wore his T-Shirt Tux again, that's always a fun picture.

[SuperDave]

Quick recap. I'm sure someone else can fill in more.

Theme was the San AnTony awards, a take-off on the Tony Awards. As part of the theme, most of the players had previously recorded a video of themselves, in costume, lip-synching a popular song. Then each player, and his singing partner in some cases, was called up to "accept" his award. Brent was the MC and did a great job, as usual.

The highlights:

Tony and Eva sang a duet from "Grease." Eva wore a blonde wig.

Manu and Oberto sang a duet from "Evita." Manu wore a blonde wig. In his "acceptance" speech, Manu said "this is the most embarassing moment of my life."

Bonner, as Annie, sang a song from "Annie."

Good times were had by all.

if you go to manu's website, there is a short video of the event and manu is wearing a pink tie he looks very sexy!!!!

[duncan228]

Was Duncan there?
Wearing something like this?

[Que Gee]

Timmy singing "Sherry" was pretty funny. Especially with the wig on. I thought Bruce doing the "Flashdance" routine was pretty humorous as well.

If anyone has, or can find, a clip of Duncan I would really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot for the link! You're one of the nicest people on the forum, by the way.

Thanks.

It takes a lot to piss me off. I don't stress the little things.
I can get nasty if I need to, but I find it takes a lot of energy.

Nice is easier.

Yup, I agree...I just don't think stress is necessary...Instead, it's a lot easier to be respectful towards other people.

Thanks for the recap! So all the Spurs players were there?

[bigfundamental21]

I have always wanted to go to this event. Thanks for sharing pics, video clips, and recaps. Keep it coming!

I do not know what it was like this year, but in recent years they have provided less and less access to the players. Used to be many of the players would come in the front door with everyone else, mingle, take photos... Then, they started sneaking the players in through the back and out before dessert was even over, and there was little chance to mingle. One year they even scheduled it the night before a day game, and so the players were hardly even there and left.

It is nice to know they put some effort this year into the players being involved in some sort of program, as that has been lacking in the recent past, as well.

It is nice if you want to spend the money, support the foundation, and get dressed up-but some people are disappointed that they do not get to talk with the players like they expect.

Sorry to offend anyone, but even when a company pays a lot of money to have a player at the table, it does not guarantee much conversation. Someone I know sat right next to Tony one year, and he would not talk to anyone but Eva who was next to him on the other side.

Doesn't Spurschick and Angel Luv usually go to this?

I have never been, sadly.

The event is currently too rich for my blood, but I would like to go one of these years.
