Well, there is more scuttle butt about the BCA moving the pro event to the Trade Show. I also feel this is a big mistake but the decision was not mine-in fact I was not even in the loop at all. They told me about two months ago.
We have been busy - and think we have a GREAT event coming in. We have verbal committments but nothing on paper. The producers are negotiating with the union electricians and camera people. Unions in Vegas are very tough.
We should know something in a couple of weeks and we will be telling everyone. It looks goiod and we will be VERY DISAPPONTED if it does not take place.
It will be an international invitational event with all the bells and whistles. With several bonus matches after the main event. If we can pull it all off, it will be awesome.
So-don't panic. We will keep eveyone posted.

I just felt this needed it's own thread so I stole this quote from another thread.
Not that Mark needs my endorsement, but I have spoken to him on the phone & in person several times & one thing you come away with is that he is a straight shooter. And I am not talking about his pool ability. If he says he is working on something and it is big and he will be disappointed at this point if it doesn't happen - then I am excited.
I can assume that the bonus matches will involve his main man - SVB.
Mark - Thanks for taking the time to brief all of us. Now please take the time to get a haircut.
