I'm staying in the very south of Hamtramck near the interchange of I75 and I94.
It looks like I can get out to Hall of Fame by bus + 30min walk relatively easily. I can try to shoot for between 2 and 3pm today (monday) if that works for you.
Sending PM with contact info...

Hi all,
I'm in Detroit, staying for a few days...
I'd be interested in exploring the local pool scene. I'm looking for pool room recommendations, and to possibly meet some forum members.
Cheers,
Gabe
Yeah, the balls and pockets look bigger, shots seem easier to make for sure. But I think a lot of that is a question of perception.
But I've definitely encountered problems moving from 9-foot to 7-foot if the barbox happened to have fast cloth.
Before playing in the tournament, practice on the same barboxes with the same cloth, of course. But I think it is also important to not even touch a 9-foot table during the run up to the tournament...
This is especially important if the cloth on the barboxes is significantly slower or faster...
Ahhhh wow are you still in Wiesbaden?
I will be very close to there next week, we could try to meet up.
I know an awesome private billiard club in Marburg and could get you in. Might even be able to arrange transportation for you if you can make it to Frankfurt.
PM me if you are still in Germany!
Hi all,
I'm in the middle of a lightning tour or Germany - any AZers in Hannover or Cologne that would like to meet up?
I am currently in Hannover for one or two nights then to Cologne for the weekend...
Gruss,
Gabe

So who would you put in that list?
Here's my top ten (in no particular order), after that it gets fuzzy, need to keep up better :)
-Scott Frost
-Gabe Owen
-Shannon Daulton
-Chris Gentile
-Sylver Ochoa
-Joey Gray
-Brandon Shuff
-Shane Van Boening
-Earl Strickland?
Yep, need to pay more attention. Got pwnd by him using his full name as opposed to Joey on the DCC player list! Would like to see him on the stream, I hope it happens tonight.
He's awesome. It's 7am here, I've been watching two different pool streams for the last 7 hours, and I'm probably gonna buy the evening accu-stats session just to watch Efren vs. SVB starting at... 9am my time. There goes the entire day! Awesome!
