    Planning for the Arnold Fitness Weekend

    I was thinking that since the hotels around the convention center are filling up fast already that those of us that are serious about going should get on the ball and make plans.

    The Arnold Schwarzenegger Fitness Weekend (http://www.arnoldclassic.com/index.asp) is in Columbus, Ohio, March 5-7 and features international fitness and strength competitions, a world-class fitness expo and continuous entertainment. A $10 expo ticket provides admission to most events and the expo (see www.arnoldclassic.com for details). Weekend highlights include men's and women's bodybuilding, women's fitness competition, martial arts, gymnastics, cheerleading and dance competition, a 5K pump and run race, World's Strongest Man competition and armwrestling.

    No schedule of events has been released yet, however Ticketmaster (http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/8...alendar_view=1) IS selling tickets.

HOWEVER...the gal I spoke with on the phone says......there is another Hyatt which is 7 blocks south of them.......they have availability march 5th thru 7th and it's $244 per night.

    You know. Since most of you already know each other....maybe you all should think about chipping in together to cut the price down. Divide the total cost by however many people are SERIOUSLY going. Split the hotel fees, etc.......

    I think Burner is going. He too if from Colorado....(i think)

    I tried that recently to raise funds for get fake boobies. Not much luck...however you are far more deserving and this is a more worthy cause so hopefully it'll happen for you! (the trip, not boobies)

    I think creating an IM CONVENTION fund is a great idea.
    we could even do something like "for only one penny a day you could meet ......blank"
    What about inquiring to get group discounts for hotels?

    Hey! I'm thinking of coming too. It's only a 5-6 hour hour drive for me, so I would probably drive down for a night or two of merriment with fellow IMer's!

    I have always wanted to go to this show but never had enough motivation. Meeting some new people is always great motivation for me!

    @ $2000 for 3 airfare tickets, it might not be as doable as we thought. For that price, we could be laying in the Mexico sunshine for a week all-inclusive or that's a hotel in Hedo for a week. But the missus is caught up in fitness fever, so you never know.

    YEAH Ponyboy -- You should come. The Arnold Expo is CRAZY fun. All kinds of HOTTIES all over the place. IT'S SUPPLEMENT HEAVEN when you're there too. And, you don't have to worry about crashing your diet when you're there. They ALLLL kinds of healthy food to eat. Most of the supplement suppliers will have taste tests going on.

    IT'S VERY EXCITING!!!!!!! Don't miss out.

    Its only a six seater.

    I'll ask him what his rate would be.

    Also -- What is the nearest airport so I can pass that on to my dad? he'll have to call them and they'll have to allow/support private flight landing.

    Here's an idea too for us Canadians...fly to TO on Jetsgo or whatever cheap airline, I'll drive us down in my truck (seats five if Mini NT is along). Flights to Calgary/Edmonton/Winnipeg right now are like $150 return depending on the airline. Longer trip but a lot cheaper.
    Today I can do what others will not so that tomorrow I will do what others cannot.

    The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things that losers don't want to do.
