    At the expo

    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.

    I loved Missoula. The Depot was a great restaurant. Stayed at a decent hotel and then went and played Stock Farm.

    Travelling with cues...

    I saw Earl travels with a butterfly leather case that looks jammed with cues. Shocked nothing has broken yet as he does quite a bit of flying.

    Help with Eddie Taylor’s personal Mike Segil cue

    I have two Sigel cues. One he designed for me and made and the other I bought in an auction. I love them both and will probably never sell either. Mike turned off a lot of people, but I like the guy. He always treated me nice. And I love the way his cues play.

    No dispute that Efren is the GOAT, but who is the 9 ball GOAT?

    I have a Kim Steel at my house and it is great. Pockets are tough and will spit balls out if not well struck.

    Hardships of Professional Pool as a Career

    The World Darts Championship recently concluded at the Alexandra Palace in London. The champion, Michael Smith, took home $500,000 for his win. The place was packed, beer flowed, and the crowd was boisterous. I have a hard time believing pool can't reach that level.

    Taom Chalk

    I have been using Taom for the past few weeks and I do get more spin, but I like that. I have tried every chalk out there and this, to me, is the best yet. I have more chalk than i know what to do with now. Lol.

    Help with value of Tim Scruggs cue

    Awesome cue. Do not change wrap. Who cares if you over paid a little (I do not think you over paid at all). You will get a lifetime of pleasure out a wonderful cue.

    I am a huge Metallica fan and know the story as to why Mustaine was booted from the band so I was never a Megadeth fan for that reason. I always assumed Dave was a prick. About 10-12 years ago, I went to see Black Sabbath and had front row seats right in the center. Well Megadeth was one of the...

    Paul Newman Interview in 1962 about playing Fast Eddie

    I know they were both Joss cues, but did not think they were identical. I am going to have to watch it again tonight.
