DC Test Fest!!! Jan 14th

“D.C. TEST FEST” COMING TO THE NATIONS CAPITOL!!!

An AWESOME Xmass present to yourself or a loved one. A great way to start off the new year full of enthusiasm and new info. As well as all the people who have been to a seminar with the Contributor to T-Nation in the past a TON of FUN after hours.

OK it is now 100% I have everything finalized for the most part now. The only thing that will be changing from this pint will be possibly the size of the conference room we need. The Hotel has ball room that separates into three spaces and can be made into a larger room of three sizes as needed. Also there will be the addition of more schwag as it comes in I will start a list very soon and update as it grows.

ALL THE INFO:

****DATE:
Saturday Jan 14th In Washington DC

****VENUE:
Embassy Suites Hotel Washington, D.C.
1250 22nd Street Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia,
United States 20037
Tel: +1-202-857-3388 Fax: +1-202-785-2411
Rooms are all suites and will run us $134 a night. So you could easily fit up to 4 per room. I have all this reserved though give me a day or so before calling to get a room I have to think of a neat name (did that see above) for this seminar for the reservations and go sign a contract. Ill let you know when. Another reason to hold off is I may be able to get the price lower yet if I can give them a definite amount of rooms.

Also as I mentioned below there is free made to order breakfast buffet, and happy hour.

Another thing worth note to those who are driving in. Being in Crazy D.C. there is an extra cost for parking it seems 19.95 a day for self parking.

Ah forgot to add Schwag!!! Like Chris Mentioned T-Naton and Biotest are being their usual More than Generous AWESOME!!! selves and will be throwing stuff at all those who attend. I am also working on getting other equipment suppliers etc. as well as the presenters giving a bit of there products.

It should make for some good things to be had.

Thats it for now. I’ll keep it coming as I get it nailed down.

Pass the word. It is at the point were darn near the only thing that could make this not happen is that no one comes.

Of all the contributors on T-Nation, those are honestly 5 of my favorites, so I am definitely going to this. Dr. Ryan forever holds a special place in my heart for recognizing my previous avatar as the UConn Husky. sniff I told myself I wouldn’t cry…

For any out-of-towners coming down: I can probably offer crash space for at least one person, or two if you share a bed.

If you are interested, toss me a PM.

I know I’ve been awful about attending the DC T-Cells (been working many Saturdays, not to mention my small college football obsession), but after reading Shugart’s account of the Arizona weekend, I really would hate to miss this seminar.

Looking forward to it!
