And I’m sure I missed a bunch feel free to make recommendations.
Marty is working on 4 rooms in the Bay area but I can’t find the message with the rooms he listed.
Darryll from Pool Talk Radio is also helping in what could be a big way with 2 strong regions.
We’re shooting for 4 rooms from OKC to Kansas MO and then another 4 from St Louis over to
Brickyard (Thanks Don who is actually helping with IN Chicago, St Louis ( Mark Wilson ) also.
I still have to go through Ohio and PA on my way home
Things didn't go as smoothly as planned as far as getting our first 32 perfectly located rooms on the east side of the country BUT we received that unexpected help from a few good people so we definitely have enough rooms and players to go ahead and start our first 8 week season as scheduled in July and in more parts of the country than we had planned.
Unfortunately for me I HAVE to leave
and get back on the road towards home I'll be making a few more stops along the way but no matter what we have gained enough rooms, support and unexpected help to start our first session in July as scheduled
