That's one of best write-ups EVER! The above snippet had me rolling!!!
Dang, can you write well, thanks Lou!

Why? Lou makes fun of a guy eating a steak the right way and it makes you laugh.
If Lou is a LOCK, why didn't he just play at Derby City instead of running home to hide behind his computer.

Wait, your match with John B. didn't happen???? Didn't you guys put like $3000 down because there was thoughts that one of you would back out? Sorry if I am not up to speed, but I am not about to page through endless paragraphs of John's posts to find out the details.

Please advise

Gosh, Lou, that sounds like a really cool Derhy City Classic this year. Sounds like you had a grand time, too. Thanks for the great trip report, as usual. You really made the rounds, didn't you? [Pun intended] :p

Thanks for the write up. Your match playing JB sounds about how mine go when I play him. You are correct in your observation that he really dials in on those banks in a palpable manner.

Cheers and best of rolls,

JL

John has expressed an interest in writing a book with me, jalapus. We talked about it a little. Maybe I'll get to find out more about dialing things in :-)

Thanks, Lou, glad you had a good time and I enjoyed reading your report!! When and if:rolleyes: I get my very, very small pension after I turn 65 in July I'll save that money every month and maybe able to make it. Sure would like to!

Everybody should have the bucket list and if you have not gone you gotta go, Pushout. Glad you enjoyed the report.

It was great meeting you finally. I'll look for ya at the break sometime. Also, speaking of Terry - did you see who won the cue raffle?? Ask him about it. ;)

I just posted my trip write up as well (link in my sig); though it's more of a highlight notes as I can get a bit wordy, and decided that only the best bits needs to be public. heh

Good meeting you too, Johnny. And yes, Terry told me all about winning the cue. He showed it to me yesterday -- it's really a beautiful cue.

This obviously refers to my match. If you want tell all the folks who offered you this that they can come to me at the booth and bet what they want. I will be happy to write down the amounts and figure out who to post with.

After watching your match - see below - I am ready to triple the bet.




You don't know he was talking about you. Besides that, so what if he was. You couldn't even stay out of this one trip report thread?? You just had to come in here and try to shit all over this nicely written report? Jesus Christ. What is wrong with you. This is just going to cause you to get beat even worse than I predicted. The over under now has gone to one for your ass. Brumback is about the nicest pool champion there is. You also had to drag him into this holocaust?? What if he did state that as an opinion of Lou's play in this one match. He was just trying to be modest and gentlemanly about it and you want to drag him down tool. My goodness...

Thanks for the support, dudlock.

One night at the DCC a group of us were drinking and the name of a particular guy came up and the comment was made, "From what I've seen he's like a booger you can't get off the end of your finger."

Always enjoy these reports. I'm glad to hear you and Schmidt patched things up too. I thought he was basically a decent guy, and was a little bummed at what happened during your last encounter.
I'm glad to know John was bothered by the exchange and that my initial impression wasn't totally off.

I can't blame you for the understated ribbing of Barton, though in terms of trash talk
he's currently up on you about 36-1.
But if you win the actual pool match I will throw you a 30 cent jelly roll out of my one dollar bet.
I'll have to steam a stamp off an existing envelope to make it financially viable.

Good luck. Maybe next year you'll draw Orcullo or Busty instead of Brumback.

Thanks, Creedo. I am also glad JS and I patched things up. One other thing I told him was that I had stayed out of the 14.1 Challenge room so he wouldn't think I was trying to shark him... some of us are like that, others, not so much and just make a nuisance of themselves.

For the sake of sanity I wish this would happen. There can only be so much woofing and barking and yapping with no action until one gets to the point of annoyance.

Someone just snap the other one off and send them away with their tail between their legs so the endless noise can end already...

Or: you can put the one of us that is constantly yapping on "Ignore" if it bothers you so much. Udderwise you will have to wait until March.

Nice write up Lou. DCC sounds like an awesome time. I need to get out there once.

You really should. The thing about DCC that makes it so cool is that it's literally a ten ring circus of pool wonder. I mean EVERYWHERE you turn there is something great happening. Last night I am walking through and it's Corey Deull on one table, Shane on another, Scott Frost on another, Busty on another and that's just in a space of 20 ft. Outside Scooter is holding court and trying to get a game up for 20 large, go upstairs and the European #`1 player is running rack after rack smooth as silk, turn the corner and Cliff Joyner is just taking down a set on the bar table and the defeated opponent is describing the sick shots Cliff made to beat him. The backer says play even and Cliff wants to have both players break from the box.......the level of negotiations to make a game is complex and fascinating. Wander out of that room and almost trip over Billy Incardona sweating a partners game for large money - at one point Billy says pay me $300 and I will leave and cracks the room up - and one of the partners says....you should pay him - and the room cracks up again.

And the stories....christ talk about writing books.....supposedly Walter Tevis was inspired by Johnston City to write the Hustler.....well....there is enough material here to spawn many books from different angles.

This is the closest that it will ever be to recreating the jamborees all of us pool fans have read about and dreamt about and fantasized about. And the best part is that you don't even have to have any heart to partake. You can just literally drift through and enjoy the show. But if you have some heart and jump in then you make personal memories of being part of the show that are indelibly imprinted on your game for life.
