Hi John, what an impressive pool temple you have built in your home. I am a big Seinfeld fan and "going to the Hamptons" is a standing expression even for me as a German, haha. Thanks a lot for your kind invitation. I would love to come over from NYC for a night and play some straight pool with...

This is a good point. In New York for example, a few hours of practice on a daily basis can easily cost north of $1000 a month. Are deals possible, monthly flatrates or club membership formats?

Thanks for the tip. I didn’t know the app.

Very good and thank you, added it. And yes, the Astoria choice turned out to be even better given the recommendations here.

Danke sehr and great! Sounds fun… and probably quite relaxing.

My girlfriend is only with me for two months of the trip, most of the time in Canada. So she should be safe. About my sole part of the trip: I am not an American citizen so I am not allowed to possess a firearm. Moreover, it is disputable that carrying a gun really makes you safer in case of a...

You won't have to defend yourself in Germany and most parts of Europe unless you are actively looking for trouble. I have been to the US before and learned that things are a bit different where you are. At the same time, it is a question of perspective. I met a guy in Chicago who was a teacher...

Great.. Will definitely check out Gravesend, Brooklyn.

That was fast. Will keep you posted about my itinerary👋 But can you "supplement my roll"? 🤣

ROFL Eh, love is my weapon. ... where are you located if I may ask?

You are certainly right. I want to learn as much about the country as possible but pool will be the theme and also justification for this trip. The whole thing isn't about money. It would be naive to think that I could come out on top gambling. I see playing for a few $ as a means to learn to...

You in?

Jay, what a great reply. Thanks for sharing your experiences. The times must have changed since you have done your trip. But still today your story is so inspiring. You are right that an all-out road trip is the classic and has a lot going for it. I might take another month off in March and do...

I am very much looking forward to discussing politics in the US🤣
