AzB'rs,
Whenever my mind goes to where the lifelines of pool lay - It always counts among it the most versatile and creative routes and the people who build and maintain them.
None have been more so than those that created and comprise this forum.
I know that when I fight to regain lost ground for pool, I do not do so alone and in vain.
My frustrations tempered by knowing others are here with me, doing.
While filming the greatest legends and players around the world for my documentary
"Raising the Hustler", there was never a time where I didn't think we would grow as a sport, a game and as a community-this is what drives me and fuels my passion to elevate pool to the level it merits.
By loving my people enough to showcase them through film, I can only see a resurgence in our sport.
(if you've ever held a cue and smiled, YOU are my people)
Many of you know me personally, others, I have not yet had the pleasure to encounter,
but if you're reading this and you love pool and the people who play,
know that I'm happy to be among you.
If you live in Chicago, J-Flo is organising our AzB Forum Get-Together at
Chris's Billiards, my home room -where many scenes from Scorsese's
"The Color of Money" were filmed (1986)
and where "Raising the Hustler" begins
Thank you,
-Angel Levine
