Its not about the venue. Saying if you object to something, not use it or not go is weak. I do enjoy going, NOT TO INDIANA, but to the event. The "Derby" is a Louisville tradition, over 100 years of tradition. The Kentucky Derby has never been run in Indiana and never will be.
my point being; why worry about what city or state it is held in.
Things some times have to change.
It seemed to me that you were being a little extreem using a word like heresy, that is why i replied, don't go.
I hope you continue to attend & enjoy it.
I am just glad that when the executive west became unavailable they continued the dcc.
Hope to meet you at the 2012 derby,

It all flows together perfectly if you just think about it........
I get your comparison, the kentucky derby is a tradition.
However, if it came to a choice between ending it or moving it & keeping the same name, i would vote for the latter.
Enjoy the day,

I would vote to move it for this reason; the location is so remote and far from other restaurants, galleries, museums. The Speed Museum at U of L is a very good place for recognized art. There is a lot of history in Louisville that when traveling to different locations, I like to take in the different offerings of the areas.
When I went to the Arizona One Pocket tournament, I traveled one morning to some old Indian ruins about an hour out of Phoenix. Another morning I went to an exhibit of natural cactus about ten minutes from the pool room. And because we were right next door to the U of Arizona, the campus. Lots of young students.:wink::wink:
If it were held in Cincinnati, I would like that even better. Good chili, German food.
I see your point
i did not get any of that from your first post.
I thought you just didn’t like the name staying the same after the move.
Myself, i go to the derby as a spectator, to watch pool from about 11 am till about 2 am, sleep a little, shower, eat breakfast & start all over again. I snack all day, mostly on ice cream.
I don't leave the venue.
When it was at the executive west i did go out for breakfast a few times during the week because i didn't care for the buffet they had.
The other points of interest you mention would not appeal to me, during the dcc.
won't be long till we are there,

Hey those were some great tournaments at the Continental Inn! I think most of those tourneys were put on by Danny's All-Star Billiards/Rack Club, IIRC. Derby City Classic originated in Louisville before moving north.:thumbup:
Sorry Woody, but the "Continental Inn" is no more. It has been gone for several years now. I went to my first professional pool tourney which incidentally was the last at the Continental. It was torn down only a months after the Lexington All Star.
Although I was in college, it was also a great place to party!!!
