Really looking forward to watching some of this live. They might have to put some stand up for all of the spectators :)

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for the headsup on attendance. I will be sure and mention to Buddy to try and be prepared.

The Fat Tuesday Open. :D

Ray

Look man, you already have the best FIGHT NIGHT matches in the country.
Please leave New Orleans with a little pride. I hate to think that we lose "Fat Tuesday" to The Big Truck Show.

On a serious note, thank you for what you do for pool.



I'm just wondering if this would be a trip that I want to make right now, with the cold weather and all. There might be some other old bangers up there that would give ole JoeyA some one pocket action.

Hi Joey, Chris's is a straight shot from the airport on 90, maybe 5 miles. You might be better off staying near the airport and going in from there. It's located on Milwaukee Ave.

I'd be happy to drive you in and possibly back out according to how late you want to stay. I'd look at hotels on the route, there are tons of them.. PM me....

Joey,

The closest Hotels are at Ohare. You can get a really nice room for $49.00, 10 minutes from the room.

Joey...here's some pics of Chris's from my picture files...

Chris's is a huge old school poolroom, on the second floor of a building in a nice neighborhood, with 40-some tables in three different rooms, sectioned off by archways...there are: two 9ft. Diamonds - six Diamond barboxes - seven 3-cushion tables, and the rest are gold crown's...and as you can see in the pics, Chris's is lucky in having the luxury of mucho square feet, which is great for the players - there's lots space between the tables (especially in the side room, and the back room - which is the biggest room) and the whole poolroom has several comfortable stadium chairs around every table.

This first pic is of the back half of the front room, where most all of the action takes place...the table at left-center, where the guy in the white cowboy hat is playing, and the table behind him, have now been replaced by the two Diamond tables - and this is where Chris and Danny will be playing...

The second pic is of the front half of Chris's front room...

The third pic, is of Chris's side room, which is the smallest of the three rooms ------->
