MORE RIDICULOUSLY SUPER IMPORTANT UPDATE 2/4***

Dear Friends (or former ones):
I'm Sorry :(
My Super New Commercial didn't air in Miami (sad).
That rain was actually tears from the Florida sky. Right now I am in Orlando in a Days Inn, across from a really happy place. Need some sleep, but at least uploaded my commercial below. I messed up. It's been a long day/night/day. I'll explain it all tomorrow in my blog. Hopefully you will forgive me. I uploaded the commercial below (did I already say that?):

You've seen the commercial, now play the game it inspired.
Play Pig Pong!

MORE SUPER IMPORTANT UPDATE 1/23***

Dear Friends:

My Super New Commercial airs 2/4/07 at the “Large Game” in Miami. I’m so excited that I made a commercial for the commercial. Don’t worry, I’m not as full of myself as that makes me seem!

I, Gil "The Crab," have been saved thanks to you guys and cleared of all pinching charges (see my Hot Smoking Gun mugshot!) .Check out the exclusive Myspace premiere of my new spot, written and directed by me. Recognize!
***MORE IMPORTANT UPDATE 9/19***

Dear Friends:

The whole Save the Crab thing worked and I got my job back with Honda. Time to celebrate!

Read all about it on my 9/19 blog entry. I couldn’t have done it without you guys.

Thanks for all of your support. It made a difference.

Salutations to my leagues of adoring fans. You are probably here because of my work with "E" (The Honda Element). Yes, I broke the second biggest rule in the animal kingdom, "Never work with kids or cars," but look how it paid off. I now have a den in Malibu, a Dungeness for every day of the week and my own table at the Crustacean. Ah, the spoils of success. The classic, "I pinch" line is on everyone’s lips. But my dramatic prowess goes far beyond a garish two-word tagline. I am much more of an actor than this work would suggest. But you know Hollywood; they love a good sound byte, huh? I wanted to invite my fans into my world, to discover the real me. And what better way to do it than by chronicling my fabulous life on MySpace, huh? So tune in to my blog regularly (or subscribe above) to find out more about me, the Element and all our friends.

My New Commercial wasn't meant to be!

First of all, I'm Ok. As you all know, my commercial didn't make it to "The Large Game," and for that I apologize. But, I did include it above. I really love the spot, and hope you ...

A Playlist for the Mother Road.

 It's E and me, together, and we're off on the mother road. There isn't anything more American for me than this: two best buds driving, windows down, along Route 66 with the roads as flat as a tortill...

Soaring. Flying.

Life comes at you quickly on the road. So when an Odyssey filled with tweens offered a ride on a cold Nebraska highway, I happily crawled in. They were on their way home from a gymnastics meet; the gl...

What happens in Vegas comes with us to Miami.

Trippin to Miami.
