I just got back from the swap and greet. All I can say is WOW!! I had an awesome time. Pool Table Magic is a great upscale room. Mark and Joe put on a fantastic event. These guys are a class act. It was nice to put faces to the handles people use on the AZ boards. I hope this is the first of many.:D

just got in myself and dropped off badabing and joe callaluca. we had a great time and hopefully mark and joe will consider making this an annual event. it was a blast meeting az'ers and putting faces with the names. i'm not sure what time they will shut down tonite, but it was still going strong when we left at 10:30. even john showman came all the way from florida. what a great success and mark kulungian, joe van buren, and the whole staff at pool table magic should be commended for the great time had by everyone. thanx again.

and also a big thank-you should go to all of the sponsors, paul rubino, mike webb, duc lam, pocket-chalker, and pool table magic.

I also went to the event and had a great time! It was cue heaven! Did'nt make it home till 3am. The highlite of my evening was getting the chance to hit with an original Buska! Also the first time I've seen one in person. Thanks Joe and Mark! Also very nice to meet some of the Az people that I've only talked with online or on the phone. Next time I will have to plan better and have ALOT more $$ on hand. Vinny

Magic get together

I second what everybody said. Great show Mark and Joe.
To the cuemakers and sellers thanks for an incredible viewing.
To azers nice to meet you all especially Bogey and Fast and Loose.
Great fun to show my original purchase Balabushka.
Great room, great people, great food, amazing cues.
Can't wait till next year.
Thanks again Mark and Joe
 
I would also like to thank Mark and Joe. Opening there room to other's at no cost was a very generous gesture.

I would also like to thank the cue makers who donated cues to the raffle (Mike Webb) and (Paul Rubino). Everyone was really great and there were great cues to be seen, bought. played with, and enjoyed by all. I look forward to our next meeting.

Thank You!!!!

Sorry Joe I would have loved to be there, but I had to attended a family gathering instead.

Will you be stopping by the WPBA event at Twin River?

We want to thank everyone for coming. It was a great time and at the request of many.. we are thinking of doing another next year. It was great to meet everyone and to get us all in one place. I want to thank all the prize suppliers, Rubino, Webb, the chalk holder people, Duc.

Some great things were discussed and learned, I am sure the cuemakers, Rubino, Migliore, Kucharski, Joe C, Mike Webb, and surprise guest John Showman had lots to talk about. Paul bought down some of his collection items and WOW, the pearl, the material, letters to George Balabushka from Irving Crane. You couldn't beat it. Paul was also nice enough to sell some of his Palmer rings to the cuemakers at the show. Tom Migliore (TNS cues) bought some really nice cues, as well as some of his world class machined pins and hardware. Any cuemaker that doesn't know about Tommy should really look him up.. his hardware is first class. Greg bought some cues, Mike bought some cues, 6 quality cuemakers that were more than happy to answer questions, and interact. Duc's blanks are also very nice.

The collectors came. John Vero, Marcus, Bruce, Jay, George, Chris and a few others. Marcus bought his collection of Tascarella cues. He really has great stuff.

All the regulars, Chenz, Catscradle, luckylady, and all the rest. It was really a nice time. No blood was shed this day. :p

At the end of the night.. Mark surprised us all with a taste of his collection. So if you had stayed, you were shown some really, really nice cues.

So now.. to next year.. we will not charge for space, and we will advertise it regionally. So expect a lot more foot traffic. It maybe two days, because we are thinking of tying it into a decent sized tournament. I know traffic was light but we were looking to keep it AZ as much as possible. So with a more advertised tourney I think we will get more cue buyers. We aren't looking to be the SBE, but we are looking to provide a quality time, and make as many people happy as we can.

Joe and Mark

Pool Table Magic Event

I had a great time at the AZ meet/cue swap event and would like to thank Pool Table Magic (Mark and Joe) as well as the sponsors. The event was a combination for success, great room, people, cues and conversations. I would like to give a special thanks to Mark for making my day by sharing some very special cues from his collection.
