VA-
Best of luck in your show tomorrow. You have been a great source of information, motivation, inspiration and encouragement to many, many competitors and noncompetitors alike. It is amazing that someone I have never met in person is competing and I am so excited for them. You are a true winner!!!!!!!

Thanks for the positive carma everyone!

A special thanks goes out to Aram who has been propping me up behind the scenes during this prep period. He is a great guy to have on your team!

Jimel I sent you a PM.

I won't be back at my PC before Sunday night so I'll try to post something then. I may give Aram a call after the show so he'll have the inside scoop first. I did decide to do both the Masters and the open so I'll have two shots at a trophey.

I can tell you that my first time using the beef/grapefruit strategy seems to be going well so far - except for the fact that at this point the burgers taste a lot more like 96% ground cardboard then they do beef!

I was just using mapquest to print out the directions to a couple of choice restaurants for dinner after the show - so far Outback and Golden Corral are near the top of the list! Can't decide yet if I want to go for quality or quantity. Show should be over by 8pm so I'm counting the hours (26) until I can eat that tasty meal with all the fixin's.

but for now - more water, beef, grapefruit, tanning mess and trips to the bathroom - lol Why was it that I decided to do this again!?!

Good Luck tomorrow VA. I will be there tomorrow helping out so if you need directions to any other places to eat just let me know. I will be running back in forth setting up things here and there so just look for James. If anyone else is looking for directions to the venue:
I-64 east towards Virginia Beach
Take the Settler's Landing Exit (Hampton Univ.)
Left at light onto Settler's Landing
Cross over Mercury Blvd.
Get in right lane and look to turn right onto Ireland St. (first or second right after Mercury).
At the end of Ireland is Pheobus High School ( the venue for this competition)
The competition starts at 4:00 pm. Good luck to everyone else that is competing tomorrow. Ripped
