    Just maybe the US.open can make a come back?

    I disagree. You can buy the accustats stream for $60 all week and hear all kinds of news from commentators in addition to seeing many dozens of matches. Cheaper than a tank of gas and you get the vibe that you're physically there.

    Weekly Tournaments in the Washington, DC (Maryland, Virginia) area

    OK, good suggestion. I've updated the first post with all data. Still think it is good to check the thread, poolrooms, tournament directors for changes. --Steve

    I'll chop 'em up!

    I'm definitely not a fan of Earl's behavior, but I made this patriotic montage since I noticed the similarity when I saw the pic on the right in the Washington Post today. :grin:

    9/21, Pool Tournament, Frederick MD, Champion Billiards

    Nice tournament, but I was bubble-boy again. When I left, it was Roger Riley in the hotseat, waiting for winner of Kevin (forgot last name) and Ryan Jones.

    Hide the Rum iba7467 coming back to D.C.

    Good to see everyone! My internal ear medical problem made my eyesight more acute (a known evolutionary phenomenon) and I was slicing in balls from everywhere last night! So I got a lucky win on you guys. Sorry I could hear only half of what you were saying, but the drinks were good and I...

    What are the races? Does the 8 count on the break in 8-ball? I hope not!

    Hide the Rum iba7467 coming back to D.C.

    I will try and get over there by around 4:30 since they have a free practice beforehand. If you can get black-balled to go, you're far more persuasive than I. Ring game, anyone?

    Thoughts & photos from the Maryland Open (part 1)

    Nice writeup and pics. Too bad they had all these champions out here on a Monday, but glad I got to see some of them on the stream yesterday. The Corey Deuel / Mike Dechaine match had an unbelievable ending. Likewise, the Archer / Hohmann match had an unbelievable beginning! Makes me feel...

    Hide the Rum iba7467 coming back to D.C.

    Can you make it out to First Break, Sterling VA on Thursday night? There's a 9 ball tournament out there and it always gets a good turnout. I'll buy YOU drinks if you can make it! I think I'll remember you even though I'm getting older, losing brain cells, and my memory is fading....

    I'm really enjoying your book. I'm just sampling it a little every few days, like a fine scotch, even though I want to guzzle it like a beer!

    Rodney announces Bonus Ball's return on FB

    Are they all insane? Do the BB principals (whoever they are) think that a vague message without specific plans, dates, or payments is going to resurrect this mess? All we've heard are crickets as it fizzled away. Do they even have a full team left in Vegas? Who's the referree now? Who is...

    Manhattan miracle

    I had a custom cue rack made there and also got the tour back in 2009. It is a nice old building and was full of amazing tables in various stages of restoration!
