Hello Columbus Ohio

The hotels are packed with fitness, figure and bodybuilding peeps. No problems on the flight, plane was smaller than normal for the direct flight to Columbus. A few industry people on the plane but not as many as usual. Hope that isn’t an indication of the number of people with booths this year. Grabbed a bite to eat at a nice Greek restaurant just down from the expo. Check it out if you like Greek food and in Columbus. Ran into Monique Minton at the hotel. She’s looking beautiful as always and will be working the BSN booth this weekend. Mr. Olympia Dexter Jackson was in the house and introduced me to a lovely ladies. Former WWE’s Bobby Lashley was checking into the hotel. His fiance Kristal will be competing in the bikini division tonight.

Headed to the Pro Athlete’s check-in and then will probably check out the NPC portion of the show. I’m curious to see what type of physiques are in the bikini division and who is rewarded. The prejudging and finals are held tonight. If I have enough time will check out Joe Rogan’s comedy act which is being filmed for an upcoming special.

This is the nicest Arnold Classic weather I can remember. It was in the 50s and was able to walk around outside with a light jacket. Sun is shining and no gray skies. Very refreshing from the usual frigid temps.

Stay updated with us on twitter throughout the evening.
