Has there ever been one? Been thinking about putting out an invite for all Azer.s in Chicago area, to get together at a hall in Chicago for a few hours. Maybe a tournament and some pizza and wings and a beer or two. Not sure, just throwing it out there.
 
North Side or South Side

What do you Chicago AZers think, Chris's or Red Shoes. Maybe alternate months if it goes good. Nothing serious just hang out for a couple of hours and bang em around.
 
That's actually a cool idea, could even do a "3:00 to closing on the first Thursday of the month @ xxx pool room" as a standing get together.

Get some tables & play some pool.

Anyone in the Orlando area interested can PM me and after the holidays I'll see if I can put something together.
 
Cool Idea....

Flo,
What a cool idea. I might like to do that here in North Carolina sometime.

Just another lovely day in paradise....

We used to have RSB meet ups a couple times a year. Would be nice to see some AZB gatherings happening beyond the one that happens at DCC each year.

Trust me, just about all keyboard warriors become docile as lambs in person and laugh about it. Then the next week they are back at each other's throats.

It's really funny some of the things I have seen along these lines in the past 16 years or so. Almost to a man all the people with whom I have had online conflict with have never been aggressive in person.

Some people you have a beer with and smoke the peace pipe in person and then the next week they are attacking you again. Real love/hate passive/aggressive type stuff. But it seems to be something to do with emotions+distance=flaming.........but in person, perfectly normal decent and fun guys to be around for the most part. Leave it for future anthropologists to figure out.

Although it would be fun to settle some beefs with FUN grudge matches on the pool table with silly bets that the loser has to do on camera.

And also to tackle some of the most contentious topics in person and ON THE TABLE on camera. That would be cool.
 
AzB Meet up and Play

Let me know if you want help with this. There's a few places that'd probably be good.

Red Shoes
Pyramid Club
Shark City

I just had a vision....
..a bunch of AZers in the same room not talking to each other or making
eye contact.
..we're all on our laptops and I phones and Androids 'n' such typing furiously.

Then it goes all to hell...
...someone throws their laptop at a wall
....someone stomps on their Iphone

As John Barton said, the RSB forum had several get togethers across the country including Chicago, NY, CT, FL. The CCBoard still have an annual get together at US Open. The JimBoArmy gets together at the Super Billiards Expo. I suppose onepocket.org's annual is the Derby City Classic.

We got together at Chris' Billiards.
 
just a few friends meeting for the first time

I'm only expecting 10 or 15 people, if more show up that would be great. I see member location and it says Chicago and i always feel like inviting them to hit some but never do.I'm a bar box guy and struggle on9 ftrs. So I'll put my fear of embarrassment aside do my best to make some friends and good memories.

Do it!

I've met over a hundred (I'm sure, but I"m not going to count) forum posters and I think I'm a better person for those meetings. It's a lot easier to have a civil discussion with someone when you have broken bread and drank some vino with them.
