19 years? That's where I'm at now. Came here in 91.
Yeah, any pool room you go into has tons of eye candy. Black Boar cues are still few between them but they do pop up. Gina, Joss West, Cognoscenti, Tad, Szamboti (Barry and Gus), are everywhere.

I'm guilty of flipping a couple of SW, Cogs, JW's, and Judds for well over 3 times what I paid for them. But I still beat Lucky, NewArt, and all the other major dealers prices over there!
Remembering you're also a guitar player. Ever play in a group over there? Same as in pool. Young kid decides he wants to be a guitar player so he goes out and buys a Valley Arts guitar, a Mesa Tri-axis, with an eventide rack mounted effects processor.
Then he enrolls in the Shimamura Gaki school of music to learn how to play guitar.
