As most of you have heard last night, the banner did not get approved by the Commissioner of Buildings at around 4:30pm. There was nothing we can do at this point, but we did not give up. With some magic of real Cavs fans and a few hundred emails we managed to get ahold of the right person. That person was Dan Gilbert, owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers. WUJU, a member of realcavsfans.com contacted Dan as a last ditch effort to see if anything could be done.
Dan replies minutes later and expressed that he will see what he can do. Next thing you know it the Chief of Government Affairs allows us to put the banner up as a "temporary go-ahead". The speculations are that we come down to City Hall first thing Monday morning to apply for an appeal to keep the banner up.
While it is a great day for all Cavs fans, there is still business to take care of to keep our message up on that wall.
I just want to personally thank everyone from RealCavsFans.com for helping us pay for everything to get this done. The banner, the install and even the parking spaces that we needed to install, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Karl Singleton Jr., from Hotcards.com and The Foundation4u, Mike Rini from Repros, Nick Hendrix from Aries Eye Photography & Boyersigns.com thank you all for your help and support. Especially Patrick Kocon (WUJU) that dude really pulled through. He was relentless and didn't take no for an answer. He did so much to get this banner up, he even pulled money out of his own pocket to help pay for the parking spots. Such a great dude and he has my highest respect. Nick from Nick's Sports Corner, thank you so much for letting us use your building. The place was great and everyone there was super friendly. We hope that this sign will generate plenty of business for you. We did a beautiful thing today people. We are expressing art, our fanhood & Cleveland culture altogether. Thank you again and GO CAVS!
