Update on the Des Moines pool scene

Wes and i posted this on Facebook.

Come out to BIG DOG BILLIARDS tonight. Professional pool players Earl "The Pearl" Strickland and John "Mr 400" Schmidt are putting on an exhibition!!! 1st 100 paid guests through the door receive an autographed cueball!!! Be there to see Earl and John show you some amazing trick shots and stroke shots!!

Earl puts on a good show. He strokes that ball like few others. I met John last night....very nice guy. He has quite a few tricks up his sleeve as to how he runs so many balls. Very interesting guy.

If the Mother-in-law is OK, I'll be there.

I was going to maybe stop up tomorrow, but I may have to bump that to tonight, sounds like a good time of shit talking and shooting.
 
Jason and John are going to be playing at 1:30 - 2:00 again.

Today John said something to the effect of.
So Jason, you own a oil company ? Jason says yes. John says, So you have lots of money i can win huh ?

Lol, this cat is pretty funny. See some of you there.

Do "D" players like me get a 'free roll' ?

Who is doing the handicapping?
 
The last time I checked you guys are "MEN" right? How about we start acting like it.....:)

They are acting like "men" that are "married w/ children" that would like to STAY "married w/ children"!

And go easy on Matt, we finally pushed him over the edge to get on the sauce! Who knows what he will do now!
 
I'm still loaded at 8 am... with disgust. Played good until got to Wes.

Earl and John were cool. I think Mikey might have some sort of man crush on those guys. He was giddy as a school girl....

Wasnt a big crowd but an intimate setting was nice and I played a scotch match with John for my partner. Not so bad. LOL He fouled once, but we got a reprieve and I made a tough cut on the 9 from awkward position.

Had to leave after tournament -- so missed any good action that happened late, if any.

It was nice of big dogs to have those guys stop in ($) and I think that it's good for these things to keep happening. As usual, IMO they are their own worst enemy, as Richardson did more advertising than I saw elsewhere. Did hear one radio commercial the day of.... ah well. Que Sera Sera.

Sorry i didnt' get to the poker game -- limited time and resources. Although, typically, I coulda showed up there, and still made the tournament and exhibition. LOL Poker is not my game.

Thanks for the compliments John. Great to hear good things from good people such as yourself.

As for mikey being a good dude, well that is still under review!! :poke:
A ton of gamble they do have though!

So, did you end up owning any stock in the Oil company before you left? :wink2:
