Here's a very dimly-lit picture of me with Roxy "Balboa" Richardson:
Roxy owns Roxy Fit Gym and is a Women's Muay Thai champ! I wrote about her in the Official blog for work...I'd been in contact with her all week online, because of work, and I really, really wanted to meet her. I'm happy I did.
I regret not being able to see her put on her live demonstration though! You see, there was a Live Event for Champions of Champions Elite last night and there was going to be live Muay Thai demonstrations, contests, giveaways, and everyone was going to watch the Kings Cup. However, it was very unorganized. They told us (Ramiro & me) that it was going to start at 6pm. Then, the day before or so they said that it had been pushed back to 7pm. "No problem," we thought. We'd get there a little before 7pm and leave a little after 9pm and everything should be roses! We'd get to see all the fun stuff (the live demo) and get the gist of the Kings Cup show and leave before my blood sugar went wacky and get home before our cats started having anxiety attacks about our being gone so long (they've been having trouble adjusting to us having full-time jobs--Ziggy in particular has been going through some pretty bad separation anxiety).
Sadly, when we left a little after 9pm, the event hadn't even STARTED yet. Plus, none of my friends showed up... We were very disappointed. We hope it got really awesome after we left!! They were supposed to get it on tape, so I guess we'll see it once that gets put up online. But it's just not the same as seeing it in person, you know? :\
Still, I'm glad I briefly got to meet Roxy. :)
Well, I have to go for now. This is the day we go buy groceries for the rest of the week.
Until next time...
