I laughed because I was assuming it is obvious you are, but I suppose I should let the actual promoters answer. Maybe they are mad you won't have us at your Canadian one lol. That medley looked so fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I can make it. If it turns out I can't make it after all, you can put the 20 toward your costs; it is a thankless job to promote these things and it is much appreciated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I saw the prices of the hotels there ... hopefully that doesn't scare me away when it comes time to commit lol. $225 per night for red roof inn! Dang! What do you guys think you are, NYC? lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhm...is there something below "last place" to describe my performance compared to the King of Grip? And Ben is in the bracket below me, so right now my best option is to binge on triple cheeseburgers and extra large pizzas to be the only guy in 120+... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Air bnb has much lower prices than expedia did, but it won't be a "hotel," it might be someone's house maybe a shared bath, etc. Anyway I am sure I can find something since I am driving, and can just stay further out and drive a little to the comp. I don't like 200+ per night though, for barebones for a grip comp. I'd pay that or more for a romantic trip with a woman, but grip comps are not how you plan those lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you guys think you are, NYC? lol Just noticed UVA has home football game against James Madison who is also nearby and recently moved to Div 1.. could be reason hotels so much.. one time I was in Elkhart, IN for work...we had company rate at a hotel. Stayed 4 days but last day was like 3X. Thought it was error until desk person said special rate doesn't apply on Fri/Sat during football season.. thats when I started noticing all the navy blue & gold in the lobby Might be some cheaper hotels 20-30 min away.

Looks like my son is coming with me for the weekend so we can take a look at William and Mary and Duke on Sunday and Monday (he's applying to college this fall), although he may skip out on the comp because he can drive alone now and I may let him take my car to go explore if he's not into gripping with us. But he has done a comp with me once before, so maybe he will just do it for fun. He has a record or two because hardly anyone competes in his age/weight lol (17 years old, 59kg, although maybe 66kg now that he got a lot taller). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubyagrip Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 As of this morning, I am now under 120kg. If we need more in 120+, let me know...I will eat a giant dinner and breakfast prior to weigh-in. @ZRMMA 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping to make it, but committed to the one a week later in North Carolina because had friends who could go along, and it has grippers. But for a while was entertaining doing both. Oh well. Good luck! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
