Something really exciting I wanted to let you guys know about.

I'm jealous. I'll do what it takes to get to the Arnold next year, though. I'd absolutely LOVE to hang out in the Cage with those guys. Can't get much more hardcore than that....

I've got my tickets already Michael. Tickets to the entire summit were only $200 so I couldn't pass it up.
I was looking over all the offerings and there is no way I am going to be able to fit everything I want to see into the time frame available.
Can't wait to see Big Z dominate the Arnold Strongman.

That's great to hear that you're going! I know what you mean - there is sooooo much to do. Between the Summit, the booth, other business matters, the Expo, and the events, I'm gonna be exhausted! That's the main reason why I had to turn down working the Animal Cage this year. I'm putting together an itinerary right now to see what we can squeeze in - I'm taking one of my employees. For all the symposiums that you get, it is a helluva price, even though I didn't have to pay it. Maybe we can meet up; I will be there for almost a week, staying at one of the host hotels, which, the way the weather is looking, looks like it will be a great thing not worrying about driving all over town, just walking next door...LOL

I've never been, so I'm not sure how to set up my itenarary. I'm going with a training partner, and I'm letting him do the planning.
I figure nothing will go the way I want it to, I'll miss a lot, play it by ear, and still have an amazing time.
It should be easy to find me, I'll be the smallest irishman there. If so you have to show me around, I know you're a vet and I would seriously appreciate being shown around...
