My thoughts on the Olympia Expo.........

[Ibarramedia]

Sheila Bleck is a friendly person. I've been reading this thread for a few days and realized that you are the dude who has pictures of a lot of famous people. Sheila might be one of the few people who did not take a photo with you and you must have caught her at a pretty bad time or maybe she was in a hurry.

It always leaves a bad taste when you meet a pro/celeb and they have that "hollier than thou attitude" Thankfully out of all I met during the weekend the only one with a bad attitude was Lou Ferrigno (id totally prepared myself for it from him, so it wasnt a let down anyway!)

I bumped into John Romano as he was leaving the expo with his girl, both were really cool and John was only too happy to spend a couple of minutes talking outside and take a photo.

Ive heard good and bad reports about Shawn Ray but in the time I spent talking to him i have to say he's one of the nicest pro's i've met. He spent a good 5 mins with us talking pre-contest training, and got the impression he'd be happy to talk all day!

Meeting Frank Zane was amazing as I wasnt expecting to see him there! He was polite and very appreciative of our support as fans of his career.

Lenda Murray- One of the most beautiful people i've met, both on the inside and outside! A real classy lady.

Zack Kahn was very chilled and easy going, says his legs are healing well and he's targeting the NY pro for his pro debut.

Aaron and Carl from off topic were cool and just as they appear on the radio which was good to see.

A special mention to Julie Palmer who was very helpful when one of our friends fainted at the expo. She sat him down, took his pulse and got plenty of sugar and banana's into him. Thanks Julie!

Maybe we turned up at the wrong tim as we only managed to get around 5 t-shirts each and about 10 sample supplements.

All in all a fantastic experience and will hopefully be back next year!

Well I got back from the Olympia Expo and here are my thoughts. Please feel free to chime in. Arrived in Vegas Friday night around 6pm. headed over the Orleans for the pre judging ect. Met anyone of cool bodybuilders, the only one who was a total dick was Sheila Bleck. My nephew who was in a wheelchair wanted a picture with her and she blatently ignored us and walked right by... really classy Sheila. Anyway after the show was over we waited outside for everyone to come out. Everyone was soo cool except, believe it or not Jay Cutler, who didnt even acknowledge anyone and was escorted out by his " crew". Phil Heath was awsome, so was Branch, met Dave and John which was awsome. Met Fankhouser who was very nice, Dexter was nice, Dennis Wolf, Debbie Bramwell, Adella was very nice. Ok so Saturday morning, arrived at the Expo at 830 , got a sweet parking spot. Ok so 15 bucks, welllllllll worth it people if you have never been. Doors opened at 10am, if you paid 100 bucks for a VIP ticket you got in 30 minutes earlier, wasnt worth it to be but just my oppinion. Ok so 10 am , BLACK FRIDAY here we come... kidding.. well kinda, ok so first booth was the bb.com booth, got the special t shirt and stuff yadda ok, so moved on to the ABB booth, got some backpacks ect alot of protein, went to the mutant booth , got a 3 pd bag. Alot of signing up on a labtop to get free stuff but oh well. The Animal cage was cool, I saw Carmen Electra and J WOW from Jersey shore . Other than Sheila, every BB I met was very nice and humble, very cool.
Awsome experience.

You mean I wasnt the nicest one?lol jk hope you had fun. I have learned never to judge people by one experience, you really dont know what was goin on right when you went up to them. Someone might have to get somewhere and cant if they say yes to everyone. Never take it personal. Shows are such a busy weekend and there are so many people that you would be amazed at how much pulling in different directions we experience. I love people and like to meet everyone but sometimes especially when Im competing I have to have a cutoff or else I wont get where I need to go. Try to be understanding

Jay sorta looks like a dick lol

He's the furthest thing from it, trust me. Dude talked to me about trainging and nutrition for like 15 minutes when I met him.

ive heard that same thing about sheila Bleck.. its a damn shame too because lord knows there isnt many female bb fans.. so you piss off all one of your 10 fans, because you have been dieting??

i never got that.. you should be grateful you HAVE fans!

I met debbie bramwell though and she was very very nice.. i believe she was competing also.

Could have been like that with Shelia too... I talked to her once and she was pretty cool... then again, I'm the Big Sexy so... she probably couldn't even resist being totally nice to me.



I think I hooked up everyone who came through the ALR booth and told me who they were from Rx Muscle. I at LEAST gave them a T-shirt, if not more. There have to be at least 20 guys from here who can verify that... even AVBG's boys from Australia.

^^ true words mate, your hospitality was appreciated.
