Which facility was that game at? Indoor at the Star or a bigger stadium? Didn’t feel like MSP to me as a guest in both. But I do like both. Haven’t done MN in Jan or DFW in August tho.

Yeah I have one of the Amazon ones and find it works way better than my previous bucket polisher. I don’t use it hard ( or often enough probably) so can’t judge durability yet.

Was there for a football thing for my son. Frisco was fine. But yeah, you fly to DFW and rent a car basically. That’s what we did. I liked it, but yes it can cost money.

Dunno if I’ll pull the trigger, but I’ve been thinking of a Chicago splice blank and a cue maker to turn it into something cool. I seem to be a production cue guy tho. 😆

I don’t know if it would distract me while shooting. But the look would nag at me. Like seeing the cue when I’m switching from my break cue to playing cue or when putting it together. The look would bother me enough that I don’t think I’d ever like the shaft. Could I get past that if the shaft...

No, I probably wouldn’t. I’d buy carbon fiber or the various shafts with carbon fiber core, or maple. The half and half look would bother me to the point I probably wouldn’t buy it. All CF is fine. That is obviously subjective and just me etc…

Keep your eye out for a good Joss. I’ve never had one, but the ones I have hit with have all hit nice. I saw two on PoolDawg recently that were the best I had seen in forever. The ones i Liked had the real traditional veneer colors. But sleeve looked great. It was in the 650 range. I thought...

Yes, but…. There are several Meucci designs, HOF and a few others that I’d like. I play with a casino model. Have a Mc Dermott, but don’t play with it. If they reissued the C and D series I’d probably buy 2 or 3. The current McDermott line just doesn’t look great to me. There are some I like. I...

“Additionally, took a nostalgic poker route for some poker action with cash games at Resorts World (very nice and clean poker room) and Golden Nugget (proper old school nit games“ I may have to protest this a little. I don’t play much poker now, but if I do, it may well be there. And if you...

I think what is left of Binions is owned by the Four Queens. It is depressing walking through. No hotel, I think it was condemned. Hotel had been the Mint before Binions bought it. Hotel Apache is open and part of that group, you can check out their website. Didn’t have any connection with the...

That’s in the Four Queens…..CASINO. 💸😝

I guess I should add- if I were flying there for 3 days never having been there, I’d stay at a nice place on the Strip - prices probably not terrible at that point in June. Driving I’d probably never stay on the strip again. My first time there I was a kid with my parents. Stayed at the...

Only one of the se I’ve been to is O. Usually that type of show isn’t my thing etc…. It was worth it.

I tend to stay downtown anymore. Going to BCA coming up and was too late on the hotel again. I like the D downtown. I stayed in the original rooms at the El Cortez with my wife. Those were pretty cool. Haven’t stayed at their other rooms. I haven’t stayed at some others in a long time and/or...

Just what the odds predict. 😝
