Anyone thinking of traveling I got to say I think the vendors are up over past years. It’s packed as usual and the pro field is pretty strong! I’m only here for the day but wish I was here all weekend.
I`m headed there tomorrow morning, hopefully arriving by noon. This will be my 29th year attending. Wouldn`t miss it, unless a family emergency comes ups. Good time, good to see old friends and watch a lot of pool matches. Especially the after hours gambling tables, there a hoot.

I’m jealous. Didnt make it and still got charged for my hotel reservation! Hey pooldawg8 you selling milk duds? Someone mentioned them in the tip thread. I’ll take a few off your hands if you have some to sell.😉

I went yesterday. It was REALLY enjoyable to see and talk with so many people that share the same interest. Everyone I spoke to was nice. I'd recommend going if you're within driving distance. I forgot how much I enjoyed pool until everything and everyone around me was about pool.

I don't have the time or enthusiasm to play in any divisions but next year I think I may try to make the time.

Went yesterday and it was more crowded than I remember. Had a nice chat with Nick Varner. Such a nice guy. Met him first in 1981. It was good seeing Earl play. Talking to people and enjoying himself. And Jayson Shaw looks like he lost some weight.

B-B……gotta be the best place to buy a playing cue
Yes it is. Everything imaginable. McDermott brings only their top quality USA line. Lomax and Rocket cues and others doing great repairs. Wish I was there but just too much on my plate this year. Undecided about next year.

Speaking of cues, I still regret not buying this incredible Cohen when I was there last time, direct from Eddie. Sadly I saw it for sale on here the following week for $2k more than I could have purchased for. Resellers make me sad, but it's my own fault ☹️
 
If only I had visited the northeast this weekend instead of last, would totally go just to see some cues in person. Been internet window shopping (nothing baller, <$1k)

What does that mean? He sure isn’t playing lol against popular belief he’s not a god and his playing competitive days are over lol
There was a brief power outage and the building went dark for a minute or so.

Not saying the expo is anything like it was 25-30 years ago, but we got here yesterday about 1pm & this place has been crazy. A lot of foot traffic, more vendors than yrs past & people spending money on cue related stuff. I wasn`t at all the action games but watched Russian Kenny play 2 big sets with a dude & heard he lost 10K then turned around and won 15K. This place is booming. Didn`t get back to our hotel room till 2am this morning. Lots of beautiful cues to be seen & bought for sure. Heading back over shortly That`s all for now
