Gino WHO?!?


For those of you who go to Celtics games, you know who Gino is. Well Adios Gino, meet 7 year old Daylon Trotman, the latest Jumbotron star at the Garden during Celtics games, and, my new obsession now that the Iditarod is as good as done.

Daylon's mom, Dana, bought a package of Celtics tickets in 2006 and has been going to about half of the games with him each season since. Her young son would 'wiggle in his seat during the music' and she would repeatedly tell him to 'sit down!', until one day he just couldn't contain himself any longer. So, Dana gave him the go-ahead and Daylon jumped out of his seat and broke it DDDDOOOWWWWNNNN!!!!! A jumbotron cameraman saw him and the rest is history, little Daylon has now become a fixture at the games. Daylon is a regular little dancing machine, bustin' out all the moves, like poppin, glide, heel toe, crip walk, wind it up, wu tang move, harlem shake, and the BEST, the soulja boy.

On Wednesday he was honored with an invitation from Ellen DeGeneres to come on to her talk show and discuss his moves. “I’m not nervous,” he told the Boston Herald after he stopped jumping on the bed in his Universal City hotel room. “And I won’t be shy.”
Daylon, who learned to dance from watching TV shows So You Think You Can Dance and America’s Best Dance Crew, said if he can wiggle and jiggle in front of 18,600 crazy Celtics fans, then getting happy feet in front of Ellen and her audience will be “no problem.”

That depression I promised you I was about to slip into after the Iditarod ended? Well, I'm calling it off!! Depression cancelled! Daylon brought joy back into my life!! Expect a couple of fun videos of him cuttin it up; they are to follow this post, so stay tuned!
