John Schmidt 626 video Nov. 21 - semi-public (tickets required) viewing

[JazzyJeff87]

I was just speaking for meself.

Broadly speaking, my impression is that many others are joining the discussion later in the day and evening, enjoying something much more potent than an expresso ;-)

You packin’ on my dubage?

Or is it doobage? It’s defi pronounced with do/dew sound as opposed to the dub sound that some non enlightened might ascribe to the first spelling.

now your comments got me grabbing wires and scraping! Oh. Lewis! Don’t be cheeky.

Why do these 626 threads spin out of control? Is it my fault?

true here

first pirated copy that is actually copyrighted will determine who puts whom out of business. You may not be required to show the video, but someone will have to prove that they own the copyright rights. First come first served.

The deal is having a registered copyright. Copyright means little or nothing. A friend led a major software rollout. As is common in this time of so much space on computers, when he needed part of a program he bought permission to use the program and embedded the whole program inside his own.

When it came time to roll out the program my friend sent the new part of the program off to be registered. By accident he sent a hundred and fifty pages of the other person's code. When he realized his mistake he contacted the Fed's to try to straighten things out. Turned out the other people had never registered a copyright and my friend and his company were legal owners of that 150 pages of copyright like it or not! When the original owners of the code were notified to arrange a transfer back to them they lost their minds a bit or so I heard. What was going to be a free transfer cost them some coin.

This afternoon John posted this very brief, cheerful update on FB regarding his Thursday evening 626 video showing and discussion + Q&A with those who attended it in Ventura:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
John Schmidt It went fantastic I thought. The love ,laughter and friendship that emanated from the crowd blew me away. Thank you Steve Mansfield for coming. It made me feel better to see a friendly face.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would imagine he (or his team) will elaborate in the next few days. They'd be remiss not to do so, IMO.

WTF people had to sign an NDA before watching the whole run? What are they gonna disclose? "Spoiler alert: He's not gonna miss until the 627th ball... !"

It was in jest.

Popular vote for JS, really??? Video viewers total about 20-25. Fabulous/individual AZB js626 posters total about 125-150 for all three threads from a total membership of over 60,000. Do the math if you want to. The data is there for all interested parties to see. Not very much interest in 14.1 Straight Pool Continuous. Outta-hear!

You’s is freakin out man. Just switch to a 314-3 and beat the record already. DEDICATION!!! What better way to rub it in Someone’s face angh!?

And make sure your video is just ready to freakin go and you can completely swoop in and steal all his thunder. Crush souls even! Have you even considered this or have you spent all this time consulting with video tampering specialists in preparation?

I want to see you succeed bub. I’m a nice guy, and cool af.

Since I have no personal or even second hand knowledge about the event, I'm only speculating based on logic and reason.

Considering the publicly stated concerns of the individuals involved, one would have to presume that cell phones and cameras would have been banned from the event. That would leave only detailed information and personal opinions concerning the actual event; attendance, commentary, value, etc, to be the restrictions contained in the non-disclosure agreement.

If that is true, and I have no knowledge that it is, one would have to consider that the motives of such an agreement were to prevent the attendees from publicly criticizing any component of the event, including content. Naturally, there is no logical reason one would want to prevent or restrict praise.

Considering that "opening night" events, whether theater, movies, books, circuses, shows and events of any and all natures, that intend on continued events, depend upon positive reviews and have/would never do such a thing, I also find this very strange. JMHO.

Something to consider...or not:

Plato, Mickey Mantle, Charles Dickens, Paul Newman, all the greats, did not become great by hiding their accomplishments and skills from the public and declaring themselves "great", they first revealed those accomplishments and skills to the public and then allowed the public to make them great.

Now you’ve done it, Jimmy...
You’ve used Plato, Mickey Mantle, Charles Dickens, and Paul Newman in the same sentence.

[logical]

It was in jest.

In Jest? Is that near Bakersfield?

Yes pt, tried to cover as many bases as possible (also mass appeal), and done within a thread about JS...I knew that I'd never live to see this opportunity again. :thumbup:

 

[alstl]

Was this in the same room where he broke the record? If so then my guess is this was a way to repay the room by hosting an event which would bring in some customers.

I suspect at some point there will be a dvd.

 

[Scott Lee]

I think he should put it up on a site where you pay $10 to download it, like any other video or ebook. Thousands of people would pay $10 to watch it at their convenience, at home! JS makes money, and a lot of people get to see the run! It's a Win-Win situation! :thumbup:

Got it. I don’t know anything about piracy or stealing digitally or duplicating things aside from desirable mycelium strains but it seems like it’s safe for him to come out with it.

Maybe he wants this private viewing thing to be the only option for a while then he’ll put out the business. I’m just going to put it out of my mind after this post until I hear it’s out or I forget it forever. Like the 6th book of A Song of Ice and Fire. Freakin dude

$10.00? Thousands? You're jesting, of course.

Its a $100 because Dragon needs his cut for advertising it with his World Championship event.

 

[DecentShot]

Possibly....but it seems that 14.1 matters a bunch on AZB given the length of all these threads discussing JS's 626.

That has to do with the disappointment with the handling of his accomplishment, not because we all love 14.1.

 

[one stroke]

Clearly he only invited The Knights Templar to the show, protectors of the secrect 14.1 run holy grail ,their identity will never be known nor will what transpired during their cult meeting, it will live as the best kept secret in pool history, some will knell in his precence others will throw rocks but the lure will live forever

We offered a format to Charlie that we thought would work for our location, they went with it. Will it be for everyone, no. It happens if people find value in it, or it doesn't.

Why does there have to be so much negativity on this site? Is that what we should be concentrating on? There is only a couple thing you can offer to a large group of people that will please everyone. Free and money! Not too sure if one of those wouldn't make someone mad, these days. Should we just not do anything in fear of pleasing the AZ community?

Speaking of this community, it use to be a great way to share ideas and learn from one another. Now it seems like a bunch of trolls trying to one-up each other, and/ or trying to sell you something.

There have been tons of things, done wrong, by a lot of people throughout the years. Those things have held American pool back. You learn from it and move on. Bringing it up over and over again does no good. Time to move forward! Become the solution, not the problem.

And even worse, is the new player that comes to this site to try and learn about this wonderful sport. Only to find out........

I hear where you're coming from but there were some good suggestions made on this thread. I think they might be worth some consideration.

 

[Scott Lee]

You're absolutely right Bill, and I apologize for my part in it. Just seemed like a funny comment about CW.

There definitely was Jay.
Doubtful that John will come on here and sift through all of the negative nonsense, about his incredible run, to see it though.
