Clay Edgin Posted November 11, 2004 Share Posted November 11, 2004 Steve, we can add one more name to the list - Tim Mendohlson. He is on another board and lives in the LA area. Says he used to drink beer and tear phonebooks with his buddies when he was a youngster and still does some of this stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meat Loaf Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 (edited) U bet but only if Clay shows up dressed as Dr. Frankenfurter. WITH fishnets. Edited November 12, 2004 by Meat Loaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meat Loaf Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 HEY is there gonna be alcohol at the gathering? Just curious and also, Steve B, you should try to PM everybody and ask them to all chip in with like $5 each so we can order a bunch of pizzas. They could probably all chip in like #2.50 if we got the $5 hot and ready little caesar's large pizzas, but $5 sounds better cause it would cover little caesar AND whatever drinks we get. Of course I wouldn't have to pay because people will get free autographs on request. Because I am so generous. MEAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I'll chip in for the pizzas, and I've got a case of bottled water in the back of my truck already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BJones Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Hey guys - This is a little up in the air for me but I'm a possibility depending on work. I'll pm someone for directions. Brett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 A friend of mine who I'm staying with the night before the gathering says he wants to come check out the grip stuff too, so put me down for Clay + 1. This guy has closed a #2 with no training, hits around 170 on the dyno, and has some of the thickest untrained lower arms I've seen. He's also my tattoo artist.

humanMachine Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Is anyone going to have a camera... it would be cool to document this madness and post it. I have a little crap ass digital camera... no focus and it takes forever to take a shot... so if anyone has anything better it would be cool if you could bring it. make sure that you file down your calluses for that gnarley wrist roller that Steve has Meat - don't worry, I'll bring my $5 for the hoes see you guys tomorrow!

Tom of Iowa2 Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Just found this. Look foreward to reading about this. Quite a cast of characters. A 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' sort of a feel. Who will be Mr. Martini? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay Edgin Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 After five and a half hours on the road this morning starting at 5, I made it to Southern California and am at Matt's house. Played a little golf today and then demonstrated some feats to Matt's family. He probably won't come tomorrow because it is his wife's birthday but that's cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve B. Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 (edited) Clay we're waitin for ya buddy! Also the five bucks only applies to the guys who want to stay after words for pizza.

Bananafingers Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 I've just got done packing my stuff (well, almost), and I'll be heading up in the morning. I'm bringing something like 15 grippers, bending stock of various kinds, fat bastard jug handle, fat bastard 2.5" crusher and loading pin, and a couple styles of homemade metal pinchblocks that snap onto my loading pin with a carabiner. I'm ready to rock! I know i need sleep, but its hard for me to get over the excitement. See ya there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Edgin Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Well, it's 7am and we're just starting to move around again. I feel like I was beaten with a power bar. What an awesome time I had. I'll post a full report sometime either later tonight or tomorrow. Thanks very much to Steve B for his hospitality of hosting all us grip goons and for letting me stay here last night.
