so who is going to this?
Jimmy you coming down?
Maybe, I need to replace some bushings in the front end of my truck, and time is running out.
I might be in, have a Christmas party that night I might be going to. Just have to decide, I will post up if I decide yes.

Not exactly in the neighborhood, but everything is far in Houston. :) I'm not sure when we'll be getting out. I'll just call to catch up then.
we're doing something, just not sure what. Will probably take Jake to the comp and then either hang out with ya'll, go to the Houston Symphony with the company, or something better?:D
Dammit! Dominate without me Andy, I know you can do it, be strong! I've got too much going on, can't make it to Houston this weekend. :(
So did he Dominate or what?
we watched the first two events but had to leave so we could make it to Smiley's racing before they closed, then the baby fell asleep on the way back...
First event - took first place.
second event (car lift) took second.
I won, but wouldn't call it domination. Great competition, I think first and second were never separated by more than half a point with 3 or 4 lead changes. I was down by half a point going into the last event. I won the event and took 1st by half a point. :gigem:Quote:

I vaguely remember getting you message at some point Saturday night. We hung out at Ryan's and drank a lot.Quote:

Ryan, who I've beaten 3 times finished 4th. David Hansen, the guy I lost to in SC, won the HW overall.Quote:

I'm headed to Las Vegas at the end of September for the inaugural Mr. Olympia strongman competition, and who knows after that. I've been invited to represent the USA in The World's Strongest Nation, which is a team competition and will be held in the Ukraine this year, as well as another international competition in Australia in December. Things are pretty exciting right now, to say the least.
that is freek'in awsome! Can't wait to see some pro events where you dominate:gigem:
That is badass.
sweet. It looked liked on the stones for height, you had it up there on the last one and even lifted it to the right height but just werent close enough.
Kickass!
Very awesome Andy!
Congrats man! Poundstone is an awesome name for a strongman. Like dirt, but stronger. :)
Are you moved yet?

Awesome, congratulations! Wonder if I can get Stef on the idea of Vegas in September...
Sweet! I bet those girls on the motorcycle were annoying. I doubt you even noticed them though...
Badass as usual. Also - new art on the shoulder? Do we have a tat thread?
I like the article line that says "wondering about vincent?"
I was wondering the same. I haven't been as active on the boards, so I wasn't sure. I've gotten more "free" keyboard time today than the last several days. Odd. :)Quote:

On subject. Watched the youtube all the way. Love the purple LA shirt. Also love the brief display of emotion on the stones. Looks like you have improved on the truck pull as well.
