True, time is flying. I'll be making my arrangements by the end of the week. Look forward to seeing everyone on and off stage.

Rooms booked and I just got our plane tickets on Friday. Got a great deal, 199 plus taxes, etc. Came to 459 total for both. That's about what I paid for one last year! Not bad. I still have to renew my NPC card and send in my entry fee. Anyone know if I can do that by credit card?

Hey, bro. Entry fee can only be paid by money order.

Far as I know, gary transacts everything by money order only.

And according to http://www.npcnewsonline.com membership card can only be paid for by check.

Guess they are all suspicious of credit!

I verified with Gary Udit that the Masters Nationals IS a pro qualifier for the bikini division winner. His website had an incomplete listing & he changed it after I asked him about it.

Women cannot cross from bikini to figure in any NPC show this year, including this one.

Is this true on local shows?
I asked because the @ Ronnie Coleman...a gurl won her bikini class and her figure class.

Its true at the National level and pro qualifiers. I think at local shows, it might be up to the discretion of the promoter. Check with him/her.

If I am going low budget, is it tough to drive in to the Sheraton from a cheaper hotel in the burbs, and is parking easy to find?
