They must have hired some top notch food writers to give a description of the evenings cuisine. You can have sandwiches or dinner. Better bring your high hat (ass hat is more like it.)
If it was within 100 miles of my home I would go.
To me its less of watching a guy shoot short shots
over and over. More of listening to a guy who spent
his life working on high runs in straight pool. Talking about the time working on running over 600.
The frustrations of catching a skid, doggin it,
after 400+ balls and getting up the next day to do it again.
Him explaining the pressure when getting close to the record. Patterns.
Being able to ask questions or just listen to other people
do so.
Not many people will reach the feat he did in their
lifetime.
Might not be for everyone but I believe he will draw a
decent crowd.
I could be completely wrong here, and I love 14.1- my all time favorite game- but I don't see even 50 people in one location showing up to shell out $50 for this- and I hope that I am wrong! It seems like a steep price to watch a video and hear post commentary- I would be curious to know the actual number of paying customers at the first event. I personally would travel at most an hour to see this and pay at most $25. Just my 2 cents.
I just don't see a lot of people spending $50 to sit and watch guy make balls for 5 hours.
You're being generous. I would set the line at 35 people, and take the under.
Can't inspect the product, just man up and purchase the pig-in-a-poke, sight unseen. Next, just like in the barber shop!

It's okay if I end up being wrong, but this seems like one of the worst ideas in a long line of bad ideas related to pool.
And just for perspective....
The Mr 600 thread that was created back in July on AZ has 97 pages and over 57,000 views.....
While this thread announcing The viewing of the video is struggling to get to 1,000 views.
Yes, it’s anecdotal and only AZ, but clearly interest and hype has diminished.
poor idea. you just have to look at the viewing figures for straight pool videos on youtube to see why this is a bad idea. add to that driving to the venue and pay 50$ to be sitting for 5 hours, watching a recorded video of a guy playing pool with himself. this needs to be a click away
