My 9 yo son and I are going.

We are both registered for age appropriate Amateur events

And we have our hotel room booked & paid for. My 1st 2 Hotel choices were sold out. Rooms are booking up fast.

My son's event cost $10 to get in & with that he gets an all weekend pass to the expo.
I wasn't going to play in any of the events, but it would've cost me $60 for an all weekend expo pass.
The event I entered includes an all weekend expo pass and only cost a few dollars more than the expo pass by itself.
Kids force you out of your comfort zone.
That's probably a good thing.

OK, who else is going?

I'll be there from Wednesday to Sunday. Going to try having a pair of billiard glasses crafted by Curran Optical. If necessary I might be there on Tuesday.

You'll recognize me as I travel with my red JB Cases Butterfly with surprise, surprise "Cardiac Kid" embossed on it. Look forward to meeting you. Have a safe trip.

They have a fee for the junior events now?

Not that $10 is much with a pass to the expo but first time it cost anything. I can't go this year, and my son is too old now for the junior tournament which is the only reason I went the other two times I was there.

The Junior events are still free, and the Expo is free to anyone age 13 & under.
The $10 was a fee to register online as opposed to via snail mail.

If anyone wants to say "Hi!" I'll be wearing 1 of these 2 shirts, LOL! -Z-

Maybe the 10.00 is for a weekend pass for the kids. I think it's free for the kids entry in the tournament. I will be there Thursday & Friday with my son and a couple friends. I go every year to play and shop and watch key match's in the open. I will put my 8 year old Grandson in next year or the year after, he will be ready by then if he keeps playing like he is.

I went once. It was the dead of Winter there and we had to drive a few miles from our hotel in bad weather each day to reach a crowded parking lot that was mostly on wet dirt piled with snow. It was hard to find a place to park and even harder to get out afterwards.

Inside it was like a three ring circus with all the stuff going on. The Expo itself was on one floor and the action room was in the basement. I bought a couple of things and was challenged to play a game where all the balls are racked in a circular pattern and you must stay inside the circle and make them all without missing to win. Anyone doing it would win a free set-up for playing the game. I watched a couple of guys try it and then they asked if I wanted a turn, so I said sure, why not. I did it successfully on the first try and they asked for my address where to send it and I gave it to them. I'm still waiting fifteen years later for it to arrive and when it does I plan to go back. :)

I will be there Thursday-Sunday at the min. Most people know where to find me but if you need a hint(Omega).
Because of my new work responsibilities I will not be able to be in booth everyday open to close. That also means I may have some time to actually enjoy the expo some.

If you need anything from the booth let me know and I will do my all to get you the best price possible.
