March of this year, Jay came as a guest poser for an NPC show. I went to the show, and also got to meet Jay. I just walked back there, and acted like I was supposed to be there. I just introduced myself, and shook his hand. He was just waiting to go on and I talked to him for 2 minutes or so. Told him I really looked up to him and told him my motivaion for initially doing BBing was because of him. He told me to keep going and I'd reach the top if I wanted. (Though I don't want to). Then I said, "Damn Jay, you are so huge!" He just laughed a little(more like broke a smile). I was screwing with him and he knew it. But, he is damn huge. It's ridiculous actually. He was a really cool guy. It was a brief encounter, but I respect the guy even more. I'm sure he hears the shit all the time, and some guys show that it irritates them. not him. He was way cool.
Layinback put up a thread with a meet up with Jay in LV. it was cool.
Another encounter I had with a guy I still don't know who he is. I was 14 and in vegas, and it just happened to be olympia weekend. I was there for a baseball tournament. There was a black guy that was walking into a hotel from the parking garage. He had a sleevelss shirt on, and he was super huge and ripped. (atleast that's how I remember it. It was the first time I saw an olympia competitor. I was absolutely stunned. We shared an elevator, and that was it. Nothing cool, but I wish I knew who it was now. It possibly could have been Ronnie, but I doubt it.
