Chris,
 
The US STREND champs were held on November 8th 2003.  November 8th falls on a
Saturday again this year.  I am looking into a possible host here in Livermore
for that date, as I have not heard anything back from Jen up in Sacramento. 
I'll keep you updated
 
Have a safe and fun trip!
 
Matt

Matt,

Any plans to still host a Strend this Sept.? I'm actually traveling
to Argentina with my girlfriend from Sept. 19- Oct. 2nd so I won't
be able to Strend it up those dates. I'll hopefully come back with
some solid muscle after all that good South American steak. With
your injury, maybe we could even postpone it a month.
