Thanks Mac, I can't get to where I want to be without doing it as hard as I possibly can. Besides I had one of the guys talk about helping me get "up on stage" next year. I don't know, we'll just have to see what's happening then. I don't want to be a laughing stock.

Duke I hope your still coming to this years show if you do please come look me up. I'd really like it if we could sit and chat a minute or two. The show is shaping up to be one of the best ever quite a few past champs are coming back this year and throwing their hat in the ring I expect this to be one of the best AR ever!

I'm about 5'8" balding so I usually wear a baseball cap. I could also pm you a photo or I could try to anyway. I'll work on the photo thing.

Hopefully I'll be there with my son. I'll be there, I'm weighing about 187, mostly around my waist. My diet has gone to heck.
I'll be looking for you or the "beautiful Thai lady".
Best of luck to you.

[DUKE56]

Joe, brother, I looked for ya, but couldn't find you. I sat in seat G 307, over by the MC. The 66 year old man was the hit of the show. The batteries in my camera went dead before I got there. I forgot to check them.

Duke sorry I missed you..I had a pretty good night!

[JoeB8962]

Duke I appoligize but I sure don't remember anyone coming up to me with your description. I did come out during intermission to see my GF and a few friends but like I said can't re-call you coming up to me. You sure it was me? I was wearing a black sleeveless baseball type shirt and long black warmup paints. Can't remember if I had my cap and glasses on or not..

[DUKE56]

Ok, the guy I walked up to wasn't wearing what you described. He was the second guy from the left in the blue suit. I apologize for the mistake.
How did you place in the competition ? There were a couple of guys in what would have been the class I would have been in were big guys. I enjoyed it all, but I left when the intermission "entertainment" came on. I'm not big in that kind of stuff. Maybe we'll meet someday. I'm planning on competing next year in the one in North Arkansas.
