A pretty positive experience, I had a lot of fun (which is why I do it). Got to beat a guy, got to do a sweet flying armbar. And I did things how they ought to be done, so I wouldn’t feel like apologizing to anyone afterwards (unlike one of the guys I fought).

No medals this year.

Oh, and the best part was after really busting my hump to make cruiser-weight, I weighed in at 195.5 (clothes on) which is a new personal best, down from 223. (This new years resolution is working out pretty well)

Also good was that my chiropractor fixed me up very well so that my recent neck thing was a total non-factor.

The only thing I would have changed is the MAJOR overcrowding problem. I’m no stranger to conventions but this was ridiculous. And going to the bathroom was like visiting a stadium full of Katrina survivors.

I would have maybe liked checking out some more of the convention too, I kind of rushed out to get home in time to watch UFC with my boys.

(and I suppose I could have done without the bruised ribs, heh)

I’ll post video later, got to rehydrate now from cutting weight.

This is what happens when you don’t provide enough room for people and their shit. It’s a pile of shit and people.
