I have been lucky enough to do several shows with Oren. Those shows have been my favorite ones as well. He is always there easing nerves and keeping backstage light hearted. As a promoter of a show I feel that he is going to do everything within his means to give the competitor a different experience and it's well worth it to do his show.
I am very happy that he was with me last Saturday. He was with me for my first amateur show and I'm hoping I'll see him at my first Pro show.
With that said as far as goodie bags go, no goodie bag I've ever gotten has ever surpassed the one I got from the Fitness Atlantic this year. Oren, if you can come within 45% of that your competitors will be thrilled, lol. I still rock that bag. I have pics of it in my journal.
Oh, a few competitor requests...
Please make sure backstage has as many mirrors as possible. If you think you have enough, you dont.
Power outlets, if possible.
A posted schedule of events so that you arent hassled as much.
Clearly marked bathrooms
Wardrobe racks so girls can hang dresses and costumes.
Snacks (Nuts or PB) for girls who didnt bring enough food and start to fade. There's always 1 or 2.
I love you Oren!! Thanks! xxxoo!
