Doug, most of the players in our area will be attending the $1,500-added Tiger/Planet Pool 9-Ball Tour event at First Break Cafe in Sterling, Virginia, this weekend, April 22-23, 2006.
For more info about this tournament, check out the Tiger/Planet Pool 9-Ball Tour website:

One local action man, known for his jumping capabilities, told me he's going to be in Sterling this weekend for sure, along with his stakehorse with deep pockets. Jerry Slivka also may make the trek this weekend to First Break, and he's always looking for games of stake. This is young Brandon Shuff's home pool room, and there is no place he'd rather be than in the pit.
The North Carolinian roadsters may want to venture a little north and check out the tournament. First Break Cafe is an action-friendly room, and after hours, when the tournament has concluded, you never know. They may just get played.
