Alright guys, we have an opportunity for a rather Large ABC.
there is a Golds Gym in New Buffalo, Michigan that has been offered up to us for a day of our choosing in November. seeing as MOST of us work or are in school, weekends are best.

AnabolicMass, Phil, LittleZ and I have been chatting about it, and all are in agreement. This is a GO. we now just need to know what dates people have available for this to happen.

14/15 or 21/22 are free for me.

do a meet and follow from Toledo and then invade Golds Gym in New Buffalo..

Nov 21st - Rob, I will let them know. FYI for those that want to stay locally, there is a Holiday Inn Express very close to the gym, I believe about 1-2 miles from the gym just off of I-94. I can give them a call and see if we can't get a special rate if there is a large number of guys wanting to do this. Also, there is the Four Winds Casino (with hotel) but you are going to pay a pretty steep price for this place.

Working on the food Guys and Gals.

Not a lot of choices in New Buffalo. Spoke to gym owner and they offered their pro shop area if we wanted to have it catered in. I spoke to a caterer and we can do something along the line of lemon chicken, pasta, veggies, salad etc for $12 each or we can replace the chicken with marinated flank steak for around $18. The only other option that I can think of for our large group is to go to the Casino which has a really nice buffet for $20 each. I called them and they can't insure us that we can all be seated in the same area but they are willing to try.

Any preferences let me know as I know some of you are coming from long distances. Caterer said that she could hold the date until Monday but if something else comes up she needs to take it.

alright guys, i NEED TO KNOW how many people are coming so we can tell the caterer. Mick and I do NOT want to be stuck with a HUGE bill for chow, and as there are not many restaurant options around there, we figure caterer will be easiest solution.

alright guys, i NEED TO KNOW how many people are coming so we can tell the caterer. Mick and I do NOT want to be stuck with a HUGE bill for chow, and as there are not many restaurant options around there, we figure caterer will be easiest solution.

so far i have around 15 or so counting guests


LAST CALL BROTHERS...WE NEED TO GET THIS THING DIALED IN A LITTLE. TWO THINGS I DON'T WANT TO DO...ONE IS ORDER FOOD FOR 20 PEOPLE AND HAVE 50 SHOW UP AND VISE VERSA, I DON'T WANT TO ORDER FOR 50 AND GET STUCK WITH A BILL FOR 30 PEOPLE NOT SHOWING UP.

Give us a holla if you aren't on the list already.

Thanks

Reminder

For those coming into town this weekend on 80-90, this is a Notre Dame home football weekend. So if you are coming from the East understand that when you start hitting around the Elkhart, IN exit to stay in the left lane as the right lane will have some major backups. Coming from the West you should be ok since you will get off at I-94 exit.


Really getting geeked for this thing...feel like I am in the tunnel waiting to run out onto the field!!!!

Definately looking forward to destroying my back Rob...just going to picture that 405lb deadlift going up with ease and then make it happen!!!

Won't be able to attend. VERY disappointed. Wanted to meet and lift with all the Animals that will be there in only a few hours.
Wanted to show that this lifter (on the other side of 45 years) can at least hold their own (or try to) and hit the iron with a bunch of ANIMALS.
See you in the Cage at the Arnold, if not sooner.
