My entry is paid, and I can't wait for this weekend. From everyone I've talked to, this is THE tournament to go to in Southern California. So who else is going to be there? I'd like to put some faces to names. I'll be the big guy in the bright orange shirt that says "Give me the Crush". If you see me, come up and say hi.

I'll be the guy in the dirty T-Shirt and worn out jeans, with the bare cue in my hands (no case, just a rubber band). If you see me, come up and buy me a coffee! PLEASE! I'm homeless, I don't have a girlfriend. :confused:

Have played in all 15 so far just to honor his memory as a great player & he was always a gentleman to us "lady newbies" back in the day.

I will be the "bye" for 2 lucky players :grin:

Hey Jay, as soon as I am 2 and out I will get you some coffee and you can tell me some Swanee stories - deal ? :)

LOL... depending on the day and time, you will fit right in at Hard Times :grin:

I'll be there... in the bleachers. Hopefully my game will be to a point where I can step out into a field like this a year from now.

Good luck to all who are playing!

Isn't any pool player homeless if they don't have a girlfriend?

Don't worry, Jay. I've got a soft spot for bald guys, we've gotta stick together. I'll buy you a coffee. You can even get cream, sugar and one of those stirry straws. Play your cards right, and I might even give you a new rubber band to hold your cue together.

Mark- I've been checking the list, but I don't know all of the real names of the people that post on AZ. Thanks for putting this event on. If it weren't for this, there wouldn't be any big tournaments in SoCal.

Hey Johnny, I was planning on playing in the tournament but decided not to. I will be there though to sweat the matches and cheer our "local" players on. I'm with Mikey Town in that I hope that in the next year my game will leap and I will be able to compete in this.

If anyone wants to say hi I'll be the young hispanic fellow with long hair, glasses, and asking everyone for the rainbow! lol :grin:

I will be there and playing too :)

Last year, Frank Da Barber suggested a board for all AZ members at Swanee memorial to sign for memorabilia or something. I'm not very artsy so I may bring a simple board where people can sign and even tack on a picture or two...

Any suggestions?

Johnny,

I'll look for the shirt and I hope to meet you. I haven't exactly picked out my wardrobe yet, but I have an old tooled natural leather Jack Justis case with a brand new looking lid (long story).

Are there any posters or banners made for the event? People could sign one of those.

(It's not a great suggestion...but it's a suggestion....LOL.)

Chris,

I don't usually have my outfit picked out before I wake up in the morning, but I wanted to be easily identifiable. It's easier than saying "I've got a Plain Jane Sugartree that sits next to me while my opponents run out". I'll keep an eye out for that case. You're definitely on the list of people I'd like to meet.

I thought about making up an event poster and selling copies at Hard Times to generate some food money.

We could take one and set it out for everyone to sign.

Poster would list date, venue, sponsors stuff like that. Something cool someone could put up in a game room. Figured $10 or $15 for a 16x20 print on basic paper would be reasonable.

Something like that work?
