My APA 8ball team is going to Vegas for the 3rd time in 6 years or so. 90% of this team have always been younger and wilder than myself. I have a hard enough time getting slightly drunk with them on a Monday night every week, then feeding a baby at 4am and dragging my ass to work the next day.
The first year we went to Vegas, we were stacked with good players and the numbers were right for us to make a decent run. Unfortunately, a couple players partied way too hard. How hard?... we had to play a guy that was still tripping on bath salts. (In his defense, no one knew what bath salts were at the time... no faces had been eaten yet).
Last year we had a lot of the same players, so everyone had learned from their mistakes and we placed 33rd out of 750 teams. Knocked out only by bad luck. We were rolling so smooth and our numbers were great, but we ran into a former pro that was running an APA team as their 7. (WTF is that?) He destroyed our 7 and a couple weird scratches on the 8 sealed the deal.
This is my last year in APA, and we made it to Vegas again. Our numbers are WAY top heavy after being in APA this long, and the new teammates are even younger and wilder than the bath salts guy. The way I see it, this year could go either way... and I hope to God I'm not in Vegas for 8 days and NOT playing pool.
