Good video. It worked best for me when I pulled it out of my temp files(about 700mbs in size) and watched on PS3 that way I could skip past stuff. The figure parts don't go over very well on tv, so I skipped alot of that.

What an awesome experience! I'm back, starting to unpack, and am savoring the memories of a fabulous show. I met some fantastic people, had a blast, and am honored share the top five honors with such amazing athletes.

Mr. Lindsay put on a great event! The show ran so smoothly thanks to Steve, Big Mike, and Vinnie (and everyone else behind the scenes). Their hard work, patience, and good humor made this show a very positive and FUN experience. Big thanks to the Pro Tan chicks for gluing in all my bits and pieces and making me look good. Thanks also to Maggie Blanchard and Betsy McNally Harris who took the extra time to help with suit fittings and last minute "atta girls".

John and Roxanna Kreklo saved the day with last minute tan touch-ups after a tanning tragedy at the 11th hour when my faucet in my hotel room hosed me down.

It was great to meet Kenyatta, Kristin Ann, and others. You ladies were gorgeous!

I had so much fun and can't wait to do it again next year.

That's what I mean about it being so well orchestrated. It was Mike and Vinnie with a bit of help from Maggie and Betsy to keep us all in line, where we were supposed to be, in order, on time. That's a LOT of ladies in a very small amount of space. It was hot and loud and things were very smooth in my opinion. Kim and I'm forgetting the guy's name on stage left very clearly and quietly directed our cues onstage. I was so impressed!

Ginny were you on the right side?
That was a lot of gurls in a small area...

**Gin** · #**309** 07-30-2008, 01:17 AM

Yes, I was on the right. I was standing next to the girl who said, "hi mom".
