Man I'd love to see you again! It's been 9- 8 years at least.

I'm not Darth the K'beller of my prime when we last met either but I'm good to go for this and it's a training goal.

There are a lot of us in the Metro DC,NoVa,Md. area and I bet a few out towards you?

OK the date is set Sunday, November the 3rd

I was thinking for the gathering 10-10:30am to 2/3ish? or so and then off to Dixie Bones to take the place over.

Nothing like hot animal flesh and beer after throwing around iron and steel!

Yeah, go down Penn. Ave a ways, there's this big house w/ a large yard, plenty of room. Might have to scale the fence though...

:^o

Seriously, just pick a little piece of the Mall and have at it.

Problem is, I'm flying in and can't bring the Kbs with me.
Was hoping some of you might know of a gym with Kbs close to Capitol Hill.

There's a Golds just south of the mall. I think they have some kookballs.

I WAS wondering where you'd get the bells...no idea on that. Take Turd's advice or google gyms in DC and call around to see if they have them is the best I can offer.

Since we are hijacking a thread about putting money aside and just getting together with our fellow loudmouths with "Hey, anyone who competes with you in the area I can go to?" \:D/

City Fitness had KB's and some people who knew what they were doing. My buddy Tom Brose managed the palce the last I knew. They are on Conn. Ave pretty much in the center of that city.

Hope that helps Dave.

If you are still in Christiansburg, I am in Roanoke. I have a cool place to work out if you want to come up. Pm me and I will give you my name and you can look me up on fb and I will send you some pics of my place.

Also interested but middle Oct doesn't work for me either. Also like the idea of once a quarter or six months.

Where's the comp?
The info for the comp can be found on the website below. Marty Farrell is also hosting a weekend training camp in December. I won't be going to the training camp, but I think it's a great chance to learn from one of the best American lifters.
