Roe Conn and Team U!!!
Yesterday was really exciting for me. I was on the Roe Conn Show, an AM radio show on WLS 890 AM (www.wlsam.com) because they are sponsoring me for the Gay Games. A little background, I got involved because I was listening to the show about 1 month ago. A man on the show (none are gay) was going to compete in Table Tennis to be a representative from the show. They make fun of everything and this was a way to be involved and "supportive" of the Gay Games being in Chicago but still poke fun at it. Well there is no table tennis and Bill, the man doing it felt badly. Roe went over the list of other events he could compete in...Bill didn't want to because he wouldn't be good at the other ones and wouldn't make the show "proud." One of them was called physique.
I called the show, spoke with the Producer and told them they could sponsor me in bodybuilding and still have someone to cheer on at the Games. Roe liked the idea, had me in the studio a few weeks ago to hammer out details...It was supposed to be a 12 minute segment, we talked over 3 segments. They decided to sponsor me and had me on again last night (along with a rep from the games) to hype it up more. The actual event takes place next Wednesday.
This will be an interesting experience for a few reasons....I've never done bodybuilding for one and I am guessing the show itself will be special. I've been very fortunate to work with The Roe Conn show as they are all very funny and it has been a great experience so far. Being on the radio is a little scary, I can't even imagine what TV would be like! So like I said I will be onstage next Wednesday and will keep you all updated. The event takes place at Northwestern University at the Welsh-Ryan Arena, you can find more info at www.gaygameschicago.org.
So prior to that event I have this weekend to worry about at Team Universe/National Figure Championships in New York. I cannot begin to describe how nervous I am, it is fun and annoying at the same time! This will be the first show I have ever traveled to, I am leaving today for New York and will be onstage on Saturday. Let me tell you that making all my food last night was NOT FUN...I suppose it will be nice to not have to worry about it though.
As far as my conditioning, I feel on though I am still not positive what the judges want. Hopefully with Tammy Pies doing my color (I've heard her stuff is remarkable) my physique will be the focus and after the show I will be able to get feedback on how to improve. Jr. Nationals just seemed to go so wrong and I am hoping that it isn't a repeat performance!
Thank you everyone for your support, I know that the past few weeks have been very difficult for me physically and emotionally and I am happy that I have such great people around me. Only 2 1/2 weeks left for this season and I am really looking forward to getting back to the weight room with added intensity once I am done dieting. Also this past season I have had the opportunity to work with so many great photographers...In the upcoming weeks I will revamp my website (which is much needed!) and add some great stuff.
Thanks again and keep your fingers crossed for me :)
