3Crusher Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Jeff, The AOBS Dinner is in Saddlebrook, New Jersey on June 22. I will be there, and I know of a few others that plan on being there as well, such as Heath Sexton (Bearcat74), Pat Povilaitis (terminator), John Hicks (Sybersnott), Tom Black, and Richard Sorin (1st CoC). It should be lots of fun. I went last year, and had a great time while meeting many legends of the Iron Game. More more information, call Vic Boff (the man who runs this great function) himself at 941-549-8407. Hope to see you there.

Sybersnott Posted April 18, 2002 Share Posted April 18, 2002 Steve... quite recently I sent WannaGrip some pics of the last one (the one in October 2000). It was a great event! If you really want to have a great time, and want the chance to meet and greet your fellow GripBoard members, I say make the plans and go!! I'll be there!!!

Guest hands4god Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 how awesome!! can anyone go, or do you have to be up there with the best to go? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 hands, Would YOU like to meet and greet some of the greatest talent when it comes to strength training and weightlifting, not to mention some of the greatest gripmasters in the world today?? Yes, anyone can go - not reserved for a special few like some events. Contact Vic Boff at the above number, and tell him you are interested in attending the AOBS annual dinner in June. He will send you info. through the mail about the event. Vic is a great guy to talk to... very knowledgeable about the physical culture/weightlifting/strength history, and he's just a great guy to talk to over the phone!! I spent over two hours one time talking to him about the strength legends; he's amazing! If you do go, tell us because Steve is going to set aside a table for all the GripBoard members - several of which will be COC's like me and Steve. Hope you attend!!

AnimalCage Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 I just called Vic for info on the dinner. I am planning on attending. Vic talked about the importance of remembering the greats of the past. Thanks to some here, I have a basic understanding of these great men, and would like to learn more. Besides, it's an opportunity to meet the greats of today, and hopefully inspire some greats for tomorrow. Steve, I would be honored if you would reserve a place for me.

3Crusher Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 Alan, I hope this table holds alot of people, as I believe at last count there may be as many as 9 people at the table already. Anyway, please join us. Send me an IM with your full name after you have purchased tickets so I can tell Mr. Boff to put you at our table.

3Crusher Posted April 30, 2002 Share Posted April 30, 2002 I just spoke to Vic a little while ago, and he believes each table holds 10 people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybersnott Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 I want Rick Walker sitting next to me!! After all..... I believe Rick has that "Sybersnott" quality about him, and I think he will make a great protege!! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiotGrip Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 Just called Vic Boff, said he'd sent me the info. I'm really looking forward to seeing my fellow grip brothers there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnimalCage Posted May 15, 2002 Share Posted May 15, 2002 Guys, My apologies, I will not be able to make the dinner. This whole year has been a logistical nightmare for me. It looks like the next event I can attend is the national strongest man comp in St Louis in July. I am planning on making the dinner next year, as I should be living in Massachusetts, which is a fair bit closer to New Jersey. I am sorely disappointed that I am going to miss meeting all of you.
