Looking to plan some big ABC and some Forvm events for the Arnold Weekend (Feb. 29-March 2) and I'm wondering which of my boys will be out there representing at The Cage in Columbus. If your trip is confirmed, and you're definitely coming, make yourself known here and let us know the days you'll be in Columbus.

I'll start...

G Diesel, representing Jersey and PA, I'll be at the Arnold Classic for the entire weekend.

Peace, G

Yup, I'mma definitely be there...Not sure which days, just depends on how I can plan the trip to maximize my time there. Might take Friday off so I can be there BY Friday for the event, Saturday, and be back home mid-Sunday.

Regardless, I've been looking forward to this since I first heard it existed (not too long ago), and can't wait for The Cage!!! If there's anything I can do to help out, holler!

Its interesting that you mentioned that....Last year after my last DL rep I unknowingly blew out my adductor muscle. When I awoke I was black and blue on my entire upper leg. I still spotted all the Animals benching that I could and limped around the entire rest of the weekend....needless to say..it was CERTAINLY worth it.

Not sure if I will hammer out any bent rows this year, but a big pull? YES! Maybe something else in store as well....I have been in touch with my boys Byrd and Powerfreak, we plan on doing some special things this year....and I havent even mentioned my boy the LAD yet!!

Got the go-ahead from the boss (wife) this week. Hotel set. I'm in!
I'll also be bringing with me the two promoters of the NGA Heart of America Natural Classic. Gonna introduce them to the Animal kingdom, as they have only heard of it but never experienced it. Trying to get them to help me form a local ABC, as very few folks seem to have any exposure to Animal here. Figure this trip should do it.
This will be my first trip to the Arnold, so I'm pumped! Look forward to meeting everyone.

I'll be there from open to close fri and sat. Third year in a row going, I always love how the cage is almost in the direct center of the expo hall. The crowd from the cage usually overflows into other company booths and lines. Can't wait.

Not sure what days I will be there yet. Are there any that are better than others? I mean for those of us who cannot make the whole event. I'll be bringing my son and want to know what days would be best for the expo and stuff that a 14 year old would be interested in. Or is everyday the same thing? I've never gone before so I don't really know what to expect.

any suggestions on a decent/cheap hotel near the convention center?

My input from another thread:

"Those of us from the Chicago ABC who are going are staying at the Red Roof in Upper Arlington on Rome-Hilliard Road off of I-70. With taxes, it's about $90 a night for a room with two double beds. Decent place, clean, and good enough to sleep and shower at. I stayed there last year. As a plus, Rome-Hilliard road has alot of restaurants on it, and there's a Meijer or something right next to the hotel."

This place is about 15-20 minutes from downtown Columbus. Fairly close.

MC Vinny G will be in the house Fri-Sun to stir things up, and get everyone pumped.

as MC for the cage, my job is to keep things going.

i want to mix things up, and get one of you to be part of the experience, and have some fun.

i'm looking for a co-mc for ONE of the bench or curling contest that we will have in the cage.

this person can be a guy or girl....as long as you like to have fun, and know how to rag on people in a GOOD CLEAN FUN way....must have a sense of humor, and have a clear voice.

this is gonna be my first time at the cage.. just was curious if they ever had a cage webcam online?? If not, I think that could be a cool idea for all the animals who can't make it to the arnold. It took me enough years to get everything aligned so I could make it this year. I think it would be awesome if you could log onto animal pak and watch the cage on the website. Just an idea.
