Arnold Classic/Updates

max von · 03-02-2006, 06:46 PM

Hey everyone. I thought that it would be really cool if we started a thread where people could post all weekend long on what things they saw.

That way we can keep board members that cant make it here updaed on the goings on. Also if you are coming in for only one day we can tell what the hot locations are. And who is giving out the best samples...LOL

So please join in and update often and we can compare notes and meet up with those here.

max von · 03-02-2006, 06:51 PM

My update so far is. My wife and I got in last night and we saw Rick Collins. If you dont know Rick he is one of the formost legal authoritys on AAS. He has represented numerous BB that have been caught up in STeroid battles. He also has spoken to senate commites several times on Steroids.

One of the big kicks so far for me was sitting next to Dorian Yates at the Hotel restaurant last night.. I think he could still compete.

Started setting up today and the convention center is going to be awesome. The dispalys and booths that are up are already out of site.

Well got to finish the Molecular Booth so I have to go. Please stop by and meet us at the Booth. My wife and I look forward to seeing you all

**Trick D** · 03-02-2006, 11:47 PM

I will be there but will have no computer access unfortantely. I will definitely run by the booth when i get there around 4 tomorrow. It should be killer!

We are so amped. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

**Trick D** · 03-02-2006, 11:48 PM

BTW, I met Dorian last year at his booth. He is a nice guy, and is still quite large. I heard he is training Chris Cormier this year.

Hey Everyone.

We got into Columbus a little while ago.

The airline didn't get our luggage onto our connecting flight to Columbus from Chicago, so we had to wait another hour or two for the next flight to come in with our luggage on board.

Luckily everything showed up and we're all good!

Our hotel is a T-Mobile Wireless hotspot, but you have to pay for internet access at $6.00 hr. rate if you don't have a T-Mobile account.

But.... I'm pulling the wireless from the Crowne Plaza across the street from us for free....

I have my digital camera, so I'll post a bunch of pics, and maybe even some video from the weekend as we go along!

Look forward to seeing you guys tomorrow. :bigthumbu

**Trick D** · 03-03-2006, 03:29 PM

Lol... I will be there around 4pm this evening at the expo, So I will only be at the expo for about 2-1.5 hours tonight and all day tomorrow... Damn school work!

**Fitnfirm** · 03-03-2006, 04:08 PM

Ya, if some really nice person wants to get me some xtend at that great price, id be forever grateful!!!!!!! HINT HINT!!!!!!!

**EME** · 03-04-2006, 11:59 PM

Hey everyone.

I have a few pics from the Expo. It's been so crowded that I haven't been able to get around to a lot of the booths.

We stopped over at the Scivation Booth to visit our good friend Layne Norton, aka Str8Flexed from BB.om

Another good friend of our's from Tulsa, Melinda Luper is working with VPX and we stopped over to talk with her.

Staying at the host hotel has been a lot of fun. It's pretty much a who's who from the industry everywhere you look.

Mariuz Pudzianowski was on the elevator last night. The man just barely fit in the elevator!

We just finished dinner and Jay Cutler and Scott Milne were sitting a couple tables over, and Bob Chick and Cathy Priest were in the restaurant as well.

The lobby bar is crazy with competitors and huge bodybuilders everywhere you look.

Trick D and his girlfriend Amanda came over and had dinner with us last night. B-Boy walked in the lobby bar while we were there and we talked with for a while too. He and his wife also came by the Molecular Booth and talked with us for a long time today.

I should have taken a lot more pics than I have, but I hope to snap some of the expo tomorrow. It's so busy that we just haven't had a chance to get around to all the booths yet.

We're having lots of fun with all the people at the Molecular booth. I plan to get some pics with the whole gang including Max Von and Aeternitatis tomorrow.

Anywhere, here are a few pics I snapped so far. More to come.

The best weekend ever...

Well Amanda and I got to Columbus and the expo around 430pm and went straight to the expo. We met up with EME and Kendra and made plans for the night. Then we talked to pros: Quincy Taylor, George Farah, Derik Farnsworth, and Frank Roberson. They were all really cool. Then we saw Jay Cutler and a probable NPC competitor have a pose down on top of some tables at the Muscletech booth. I have a picture enclosed but we couldn't get too close to it. Then we ate dinner with EME and Kendra which was nice. Bob Chick and a few others were at the hyatt where we ate too. Ran in to B-Boy at the restaurant, thick as ever. Then Saturday we went back to the convention from 11-3pm. We got some supplements. It was really fun. Later that night we went to a kick ass bar called the frog, bear, and wildboar bar. They had a live band and the ASC afterparty (not many people were at the afterparty though). We got back to the hotel around 230am. We went to the zoo on Sunday with some old college friends. It was a killer weekend!
