This is an open call to all ABC Coordinators and local ABC members to make it out to the Arnold Classic and visit us in The Cage. We'll try to organize something big for the event, something exclusive for ABC members and the Legion. Trust me, you won't want to miss it. If you are an ABC member in The Cage, you will get special VIP Status.

So ABC Coodinators, get in touch with G Diesel or me for more info. Let's mobilize the ABC members and get them to The Cage.

In the meantime, we'll provide further details as they become available... We're looking forward to some big things from The Cage and the ABCs.

Fellas, this will be a BIG event and a great chance to get together, move some iron and form a bond.

I will be there. I've been there the past two years and I end up spending 90% of my time at the cage (I leave to get protein, haha). I should be flying in that Friday morning and staying all weekend. Can't wait to see what you guys have planned.

Ohio is the host to Animals everywhere...


We are all taking measures to get the local word out about the ABC gathering. This is a great opportunity to have ABC be the talk of the Expo.

I feel we should all wear our Yellow Animal tees and Blind the Expo with a Swarm of Yellow Animal thunder!

Ohio ABC will step up and promote the Animal Cage from the ground we walk on.

Our leaders and members are dedicated and strong. We will make sure every corner of Ohio is covered by advertisement. The ABC gathering will be a chance to show everyone what we are about. Let make it happen BIG

DONE...

I was looking at plane tickets today. I went through the expo pics from last year and it looked like a blast. I had a hotel booked last year and had to cancel, not this year damn it!

To fly or drive, now thats the question.

Oh, you better believe I'mma be there!!! I first heard about this event about a month after I got into the game, and have been anticipating it since then...Oh, and the fact that Animal's got a presence there: well, that's the sweetest icing on the cake!!

On the day of the first Indiana lift, I'mma talk with all the fellers that attend, see about getting them to go as well. Worst-case-scenario: we'll have a Cougar hatchback stuffed with 7 or so hulking big guys carpooling to the Arnold! *hopes it's warm enough to drive the Lincoln there by then!* :)

Ladies and gentlemen, for anyone on a real strict budget, I have enough room for quite a few people. As long as you dont mind large dogs. I live about 20mins from the expo and will be there fri-sun along with getting the UFC fight on PPV that saturday night, which everyone will be invited to, including any of the big guys/gals, but wanted to give a shout and let people know, first come first serve PM Me and Ill get you my info.

Its about a 1400 sqft split 2.5 baths, and plenty of beds etc. Just let me know, its an open invite.

So far I got 2 people from the boards crashing at my place. 1 from London, England(yes I verified with him already, he is seriously from accross the pond and coming just for this), and another from Indy area.

I got plenty of room and think Ill only have about 3-5 of my friends staying here, so let me know if anyone else needs a place to stay.
