Pressure is a great place. It not the easiest place to get to. parking is an issue and it's expensive.
We all seem to be leaning toward Red Shoes. Great parking it's jus off of
294 and a ton of top players hang out there. Freddie the beard may even pop in. The ownr John and John are both good guys.. Nothing set in stone yetso please feel fee to give us your input.

I'd vote for Red Shoes.

Parking is hard to find around Chris's.

I agree red shoes or Chris's, and on another note,

Many don't realize there's a huge parking lot just to the south of Chris's, it's for a funeral home, but Chris's customers are allowed to use it. They have little parking passes to put on your window.

but I'll leave my post::grin:

wow! Is that a greyhound bus ticket or an airline flight?

Airline flight Joey, and that's coming from Seattle.

If you use your browser's "incognito" mode, you actually get better deals on websites like Kayak, Travelocity, etc. by the hundreds. When you don't, it uses your location and shafts you on how good of a deal you can get.

Strongly suggest doing this when you're booking!

So how do you get into the "incognito" mode with your browser?
I'm going to try and figure that out. I'm guessing that you just can't be "logged in" and that most of us have our browser settings as logged in all of the time and we just have to log out. Anyway, please post the answer to that for those of us who just don't know what the browser incognito mode is.

THANKS!

Ahhh, I just realized that if I RIGHT-CLICK my Explorer Icon it will allow me to go into In private browsing. If you do that, apparently the other websites do not recognize you so you would have to put in your log in id and password or opt out of the In Private browsing feature.

Learned a new trick today. Thanks Evan!
 
I vote red shoes. I've always wanted to play there but have never made it out. My other idea of pro-Tyme billiards sadly appears to be out. I called there today to see if they had somethin I wanted in the pro shop, but apparently they have closed permanently. Really sad! That is the 2nd place to close around me in a year. It was a very nice hall too.

You will definitely be a shoe in for farthest traveled. Red Shoes is just off of 294 toll way. You exit at Cisero exit. I will give you detailed instructions s we get closer t you can google red Shoes billiards. I will be in touch.thanks for your respond.
 
let me know when I will try and make it. I play out of both Red shoes and Pockets. Both are good rooms. If we have a large bar box crowd Pockets is a option 10 9 footers and 15 bar boxes. red shoes has about 14 9 foot, and 2 bar box.
 
Red Shoes would get my vote as well. John runs the best pool hall in the entire Chicago region. If it's there count me in...
 
I love it when a plan comes together

I think this puts us at 18 members planning to attend.
Please keep expressing your prefrence for location so we can contact them for any special offers they may have.

Also anyone who wants to be a part of the planning, please contact me or AZ members Tro or Kobachi.
 
any other members?

Red Shoes is in the frontrunner. Still looking for more Chicagoans who might want to meet up for a few games, a few beers , and a few new old friends.
