My heart breaks seeing cues in the fire, ha.
I hope you guys didn't get drunk and pitch in any Meuccis....your days may be somewhat numbered breathing those fumes.

all the cues pitched into the fire were from the cuemakers who displayed....richard black,thomas wayne,paul drexler,jake hulsey,russ espiruti,steve klein,andy gilbert,jim staduim samsara cues, and larry vargus.....for give me if i forgot one....but i think that was it....great to here the stories of what happend to the cue causing the mistake.... but the best story for me was given by thomas wayne and the first cue he made in alaska...THOMAS WAYNE DOES HAVE A SENSATIVE SIDE....and it was great meeting all the cuemakers i hadnt meet....
& Jon Bender
Jake, do you have any more pics of the different booths set up? Or any more pics of your cues?

Last I heard, the professional photographer had come down with a nasty bug.
Hopefully he will be up and running shortly and we can get some more photo's.
I have heard calendar or poster or both. Definitely not just for attendees. This was
an effort to promote cues and the pool industry. Several of the discussions were about getting younger players involved.
