2009 Mr. Olympia/ Expo- Who is going?

[labradarep]

I did that last year- Interbike Thursday, Oly expo Fri and Sat. It was a lot of walking.


The expo is $15 day. Much fun.











I want to avoid the negs! Looking forward to meeting all of you this year.

Cool!! Make sure you introduce yourself Bro!!!

[labradarep]

I'm not going because I live in Canada.

I live in Canada & I am going? What does that have to do with it?

[drxmn]

Its either

April: NY Met
May: Jr. Usa's

or

Early June: Atlantic States
Late June: Jr. Nationals

One of the two combos, depending on if I can gain a solid 3-4 pounds of muscle by then and be the heaviest lightweight possible, and my school work with graduating is not overwhelming. So we shall see!

Either way, good luck man. Youve come a long way!

I will be at the Labrada Booth. Come by & say Hello!!

Ill definitely come and see you guys again. I know I cant miss you because you are about a foot taller than everyone there, haha.

I'll be there working

You know I will be coming by, and Im definitely going to be checking out the new cuts and promo shirts. You had a sweet booth last year...will hola bola be there again?

BK will be at the O this year at the GNI booth on Fri/Sat.

BK is happy.

I look forward to meeting you

so i guess i have to go now?

If you are definitely going Ill try to find you and introduce myself.

[Kohen_Gadol]

Actually I never think of you in my regular life, but apparently you do since you seem to know quite a bit about me that I didnt even know!! Can we hang out at the olympia? Since you are my idol and all..... When I grow up, I want to be you. Please almighty Daniel, I want to be the industry guru like you.

I dont know how you do it. I couldn't go to work knowing there is little to no room for advancement in my 40k a year job being a supplement company researcher and assistant to Bruce ******* (lol still starred) and Matt Cahill. I guess, maybe you could move up to holding Rich's golf clubs on weekends for an extra 5k a year or you could be ballin at 60-70k being HEAD researcher.. Sorry, I hope I didnt get you to excited on this Thursday night . Like really, what are your goals in life? You seem to feel you have a massive degree of importance in the supplement world. Are you planning on starting your own company soon? I wish you all the best Daniel. I suppose we all need our start somewhere. I just hope I don't start my career when I am almost 30, hoping to make it to the top.

When I graduate next May with my double degree in finance and marketing, maybe I can manage your multi-million dollar retirement fund .


Lets hang big guy. Teach me all you know. I will bring a science dictionary so I can sound ever so smart on bodybuilding.com too. Maybe I can teach you a few things about FDA law too ohh nevermind.

Why don't you and Des just meet already at say....the Thermolife booth?

[Kohen_Gadol]

BK will be at the O this year at the GNI booth on Fri/Sat.

BK is happy.

I will be at the booth Friday morning between 10-Noon and then again on Saturday from
10-Noon and maybe 2-the end of the Expo.

Anyone who wants to stop by to say "hello" feel free to do so. And if you're nice to me I might be inclined to give you a goodie bag of Gaspari stuff.

Maybe.

BK

Good **** man.

I'll be at the booth, but I'll be sure to PM you my cell # next month.

[SwolenONE]

I thought I was going to get to go, but atm it's not looking like it

Looking forward to eventually going there

Also, somehow, I was unaware of the matty and des feud until now.

You should know by now, no one likes Des.

[Kohen_Gadol]

I am surprised you are even allowed to leave the state.

No idea why you are surprised about this - you should think about some of the folks in your own organization before talking out your neck like this kid. That old cliche's about glass houses and stones...

I will be at the thermolife booth

Is that going to be between the Ergopharm and Proviant booths?

[Yates Row T]

I believe i will be there weds or thurs.

[ksujosh6]

[drxmn]

I believe i will be there weds or thurs.

cool. Ill be there thursday it seems



Where is everyone staying? I reserved the hilton, but now I am reading tons of bad reviews...Ive been at the Orleans and it was okay, nothing special. Id like a nice pool to go hang out at/in

clubs and stuff can be elsewhere since there will be parties all around for the O and various companies.

[Big_Spaz]

My wife and I are flying out Wednesday. We have our airfare bought and paid for but we are still looking for a hotel (hoping to book one this coming weekend). If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear it.


Out at the Expo I really have nothing going on. I'll just be walking around with my wife visiting each booth. Hopefully some of you guys recognize me and stop me and say hi.

The Hilton is not bad (clean hotel, casino) however it's not the Bellagio. We stayed there last year and although it's attached to the convention center it's a LONG walk to get to the Olympia expo. I may be out there wed or thursday at the latest.

Ill certainly look for you, and introduce myself if I find you.

I was thinking about staying at the Bellagio actually...but I've read some pretty horrible reviews of the Hilton. The Orleans is okay, but I'd rather work something out to stay at a nicer place but keep it affordable.

Maybe I'll run into you on Thursday...definitely during the expo though.

[Big.Jazayrli]

is anyone gonna look for me? haha ;D

[40-Yard Dash_2]

I may be there Weds, but definitely Thurs at the latest.

I've stayed there twice. Its a fine no-frills hotel. Bonus points for being on the Monorail, and 2 blocks from the Convention center (long walk!).

Bonus points for bringing the alice in wonderland costume during foreplay.

Freak!

[red_cat]

Wish I could go. Grad school is in full swing at that point, so that means I'm stuck here. There is a local competiton about 45 minutes away I can go watch, so I'll probably hit that up.

My wife was looking at the Hilton this morning. That may be where we end up staying.


Is "The Strip" easy to get to from the Hilton? I know that the hotel is not located on the main drag.
