Arnold Classic recap

Thursday- Landed in Columbus and made it to my room on Thursday night around 7ish. It was funny, but on my plain was fellow SPECIES athletes Irene Anderson, Italian super star Mavi Gioia and her husband. I was pretty tired when I got to my room, so I got some food, took a shower and went to bed.

Friday- Day 1 of the expo. I arrived at 11 and it was already packed. To those of you who have never been to the Arnold Expo, over 100,000 people come through each day to check out all the events and festivities. I was surprised how many people actually wanted my autograph this year, I guess I'm doing something right. Aside from myself and IFBB pro Gy Cisternino, there were no other men in the booth. Our booth was loaded with women. IFBB figure pros Arina Manta, Julie Ann Kulla, and Catherine Holland were on hand. we also had IFBB pros Colette Nelson, Dena Westerfield, Isabella Turrell, as well as upcoming competitors like light weight Jen Cowan and the woman they call "The Future of Womens Bodybuilding" Britt Miller.
The Expo was very busy and it was non stop madness all day. Our booth was positioned directly Across from the Animal Cage, which had awesome metal blasting all day!!
I left the Expo at 6 and went back to my room to relax for a bit. My roommate Evan Centopani is dieting for the NY Pro, so you know there was no way he could miss a work out. We went to Metrofit gym and trained around 8. It was a mad house in there. Everyone from IFBB pro Mike Liberatore to Future IFBB pro Mark Alvisi was training. I had a decent workout ( shoulders and arms) but it was way too crowded.
Evan and I left and ate at Morton's steakhouse, then we went back to the room and passed out!

Saturday- Saturday was even more Insane. I was there at 9 and it was all ready mobbed. Triple H was there at 2 to sign autographs and it was complete pandemonium until 5 when he left!
Saturday night I ate with Trey Brewer. He is one big kid. 23 years old and a solid 300 lbs. People like to hate on him, but he will be pro in the next couple years for sure. After I showered I went over to Mr Palumbo's room to hang out a bit before the after party at club BOMA. I got to eat a burger with Triple H and BS with him about wrestling and bodybuilding, he's a genuine fan of the sport! We left Dave's hotel and rode in Triple H's Huge Hummer Limo to the club. We pulled up right in front of the club and got to walk right in skipping the whole line. My kind of entrance!!!
Once in the club, things took a turn for the worse, after one drink I realized that my wallet was missing! I went into panic mode and started searching all over for it. I looked all over the floor, outside in the grass, had the limo guy come back so I could search the Limo...NOTHING! I was so bummed, I had a flight home at 8am and I had nothing, no ID, no credit cards and no money! I retraced all my steps until I got to my starting point, my and Evans hotel room. There was my wallet, sitting on the floor waiting for me at 4am!

Sunday- I didn't bother going to bed for 2 hours, so I stayed up until it was time for me to go to the airport. As soon as I got on the plain, I passed out. When I woke up I was landing at JFK. My beautiful girlfriend Nicole was there waiting for me looking extra hot!
Over all, It was an awesome weekend. I had a great time meeting new fans, and made alot of new friends! I am all ready looking forward to next year!
