Day One was a lot of fun here in New York. Had some good meetings, including heading out to Gaspari Nutrition's headquarters. Checked out where the Tribeca Performing Arts Center was (for Saturday's contest) when it is empty, and got as close as I could to the new tallest building in New York City, and walked all around the area, in respect.

Here are just a few pics for some of you that asked.

Fuck Ron!!! I would have met you! Been to many shows at TriBeCa. Bev Francis you to run Atlantic states out of there.

I saw Yates guest pose on year. INCREDIBLE.

next year I saw Lee Priest guest post.

BTW - did you go to TJE 911 memorial?

I am planning to go the the Memorial tomorrow after our meetings. Our hotel (Marriot) is right next to it, and I have a corner room. I will be at the Tribeca on Saturday taking pics, it is going to be an awesome contest, with 110+ IFBB competitors on stage from all of the different divisions.

Those are the first shots I've seen of the new tower.

the 911 memorial is very moving. I went last month and still remember it vividly. the wading pools are huge.

It hasn't been all that quick. Once the foundation was laid, the upward construction of the tower is not a difficult process. I've watched it as it has gone up from the start.

That tower is SICK

nice pics all round

That's cool.

Seems like it should be ready in 2013... and construction started back in 2006 according to wikip.

gotta hit chinatown Ron, AMAZING orange chicken.

These pics are from the memorial pools - and I can say, standing there where 2,983 people died and the towers went down, at those spots, is just surreal. Respect.

1) The Southern Memorial Pool, and the new tower (to the left)
2) the 9-11 Memorial Museum directly behind me in this pic
3) How the pools look inside (the waterfall is a 30 foot drop)

da boss is truly bad-ass!!!

lovemonkey · « **Reply #19 on:** May 18, 2012, 03:56:54 PM »

I was at the 9/11 site in early october 2009 and the tower was like 6-10 stories above ground level at that point.

I definately think your side turn to the left is your stronger pose and you should take most pics from this angle
