urbandruid Posted June 7, 2007 Posted June 7, 2007 work is crazy right now, so I'm going to see what I can do to ensure I get the day off, but I can't think of any way I'd wrather spend my june 23rd than in a confined space with a bunch of sweaty, slightly psychotic men, listening to loud obnoxious music, making a fool of myself trying to lift weights far beyond my capacity.

Dont forget about kevin random porn shots on his strong man videos hehe Quote "....with the strength of thirty men in the grip of each hand" Beowulf
Hubgeezer Posted June 12, 2007 Posted June 12, 2007 I won't be making it. I want to, but I have been out of town too much and have had too much on my plate lately. The bummer is that I have been the only person with a perfect Kevin Meskew Grip Contest Attendance Record, and now I am going to show an Absent. Hopefully there will be a contest in November, as has been the tradition for the last couple of years. Quote
supermagnamon Posted June 15, 2007 Posted June 15, 2007 GL to everyone tomorrow. Quote Real Name: Ronnie CastroBlog: http://www.thebigfilipino.com/blog.html

urbandruid Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 no love for urban, even though he said he was coming and was able to get the day off... *sigh* I see how it is. Quote
Steve B. Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 I need the address for the power palace.Anyone? What time?Whats the entry fee? I will come and get embarassed like i always do. Iv'e only worked a few of the events in the past months. I'm 50 now so i'll use that as an excuse for not being up to par. Either PM me or post it here please. Quote
Hubgeezer Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 no love for urban, even though he said he was coming and was able to get the day off... *sigh* I see how it is. I was going to say something, but then since I was not coming, I thought that my comments would not count. Good luck to everyone, and someone is going to have to pick up the slack in the reporting department. Since I am posting, let me continue, and perhaps we can see if anyone besides the California people read this. Sam Solomi, COC #3 on the Board, is a young (18 years old) fellow who I met at the British Champs a month ago today. I am convinced that a Kevin Meskew contest is a great way for him to spend a few days in America, and I am trying to get him excited about coming to what has developed into a traditional November contest at the Power Palace. He is very energetic, a lot of fun, and he would be very competitive, near the top of our little get-togethers. If he stays at it, he could be at the top of the Sport in the future. So, I have invited him, and it is something he may pursue. I mentioned this to Kevin Bussi on Saturday at Venice, and he was all for it. Hbgzr Steve B. Hope you have not lost the Wrist Roller touch.

LOL... im so sorry i had a feeling i would mess things up Weigh-ins 8-9 Rules: 0915-0930 FUN: around 0945-1000 Im not sure the fee, i didnt ask him when i called him, (see this is why i only lift stuff, the paper work is a pain ) I think the fee is the same as the other ones... Steve ill get u the address a.s.a.p. Edited June 19, 2007 by THOR Quote "....with the strength of thirty men in the grip of each hand" Beowulf
