Bob Lipinski Posted September 9, 2007 Share Posted September 9, 2007 Well dammit, I just entered. See you all there! It will be nice to meet you Zach. We gotta get you in with the rest of the MI crew- Dave and Ryan will be there also. You'll have fun at the MI grip events. We also get together at Larkin's a few times a year outside of comps. Hell, it's a 3.5 hour drive to there for me, I know you can't be much farther! Hahahaha, maybe same height but we got about exactly the same handsize!

I wanted to go to the last MI comp but not being able to get a ride pretty much stopped me. EDIT: just checked, it would be about a 3hr drive for me I'm nearer Toledo it also would be nice to have another guy there my height of course Well I'll be there and I'm a little on the small side. Well of course everyone knows a small guy lifting big weights is more impressive anyway See you both 10/13!

vikingsrule92 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hey John. I think I can go but it really depends on Aaron and if I can get a ride from anyone from Chicago airport. Could anyone do me a BIG favor? Anyway I'd really appreciate it if anyone could tell me if I could get a ride and where (it doesn't have to be Chicago, just tell me where and when) and when I'd have to plan my flight. I'd also really appreciate if you could hold a spot for me for a few days until I'm 100% one way or the other. If you can't I understand but I'd like you to if possible.

If you can fly into Indy on Friday at 9:00 am you can ride with us. We are making a few stops on the way but not for long. We fly out at 10am on Sunday.

vikingsrule92 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Thanks a lot Scott for the offer and I might take you up on it. I'm looking at flights and I found one but I have to leave at 6 pm on Thursday just to get there at 9 am on Friday. We'll see if I can get a better flight and I'll let you know. Who else is riding with you? If anyone else could give me a ride just in case this one doesn't work out pm me and let me know I'd appreciate it. And sorry for hijacking this thread John.

RKlein Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Dave T. is picking me up in Indy. around 9:00 p.m. if that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MalachiMcMullen Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Me and my dad are leaving our house at around 5, our route goes near Chicago but I google-earth'd it and it'd only be about 30 mins added to the trip for us to go through Indianapolis. Sounds like Scott and Dave T. have your back pretty good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek- I'll put you on the list & take you off if you can't make it. There's another option for Chicago-Champaign & back, Amtrak runs two times Fri eve & I think twice on Sun, & I think it's only about $30-40 for the round trip. Drops downtown Champaign & that's about a $5 cab ride to the hotel. Or if it times right, I can pick you up at the train station & shuttle you there.
