Saturday September 26th hundreds gathered around the red carpeted v.i.p. entrance of the Yucatan Beach Club in Coppell, Texas, sports celebrities came in two's leaving just enough time for the crowd to cheer and ask for an autograph in between them.
Move over Dirk, because once the man of the hour arrived (around 7:30) it was official that tonight was all about Brandon Bass, besides the obvious signing autographs or doing interviews, Bass, and team mates Jason "Jet" Terry, and J.J. Barea didn't have to try too hard to blend in with the crowd. The Dallas Mavericks Maniaacs made a special appearance and danced to a few tunes that were dejayed by Ro Parrish the Mavericks AAC wax man.
The event was well put together by Linda Luna from Lunachic PR
who created a laid back vacationesque atmosphere for all the fans and celebs, unfortunately Adam Jones from the Cowboys did not make it out to the event as promised, but team mates Isaiah Stanback, Anthony Henry, and Patrick Crayton came out for a little volleyball madness.
In the end it was Jason Terry's team who won the "championship" trophy, and they celebrated like crazy. around 12 or 1 am the place started to clear out a bit, although if you were still hanging around you could've walked right up to Brandon Bass and talked to him, as he was still hanging out, also you could've hung out with me since I wasn't doing a whole lot, or more interestingly Dallas Rapper Lil' Will (known for "My Dougie") who was also making an appearance, all in all it was a great night, for a great cause, thanks Brandon.
