I'll be there!!  PARTYING, NOT COMPETING.   

I'll try to take some pics and provide some updates though.  I haven't even seen a competitor list yet, I'll look for one later today.

Good luck with finding a list.  I have tried.

I figured that if ANYONE could find a competitor list, it would be sioux.   

Shawna makes the third FBB who I have heard of who is doing this show.  I'm sure there are more, but no one really knows.  Very interesting since there is a Pro Card at stake!

Shawna is a BIG (TALL) girl with some of the most amazing bicep peaks I have ever seen in my life!   
I'll be sure to wish her luck if I see her there.  Hope she has a good show!

It'll be very interesting to see who shows up, with a Pro Card up for grabs and with no one really knowing who else is competing.

Looks like the tropical storm will be rolling in just in time for our trip.

We had a great time in NYC!   Saw the men's prej and women's figure Pro, but didn't make it back to the show Sat.  Looks like it was an interesting competition!

Congrats to overall FBB winner and new IFBB Pro Cassandra Floyd!

I may have a few candids I'll try to post later.

Not being biased and meaning no offence to anyone in the lineup, but it looked like if Rip was in that lineup she would have won the overall - just from what I see in pics.

Interestingly enough, I believe that Cassandra placed fourth in the MWs at the North Americans this year, the week before she turned Pro at Team U.

I hope Cassandra will continue to compete in the amateurs, her physique is not ready for the pro stage.
