Hola Paco
Silver Member
Okay, so the fam damily wants to leave Thursday night to drive from KC to Chicago. That's puts us in Des Moines Thursday night.

What's the best room around Des Moines? Any Thursday night tournaments I could donate to?

Also, I'll be at Chris's in Chicago Friday night if anyone wants to meet up.

Thanks!

You will want to check out Big Dogs in Des Moines for sure. Not sure if they run a tourny tomorrow but i'm sure mike could fill you in if he happens to pop online.

I agree with recommending Big Dogs. I met chefjeff there for a Tuesday night tournament and it was the best weekly tournament that I had ever been to. The room is huge and there was alot going on there. I will visit that room again next year when I return to Des Moines for business.

Was it so good because I was there?:thumbup:

Dogs is the best place for sure. It is just off the crosstown freeway I-235 on east Euclid avenue. Can't miss it...right next to the west/southbound exit ramp.

I don't think there is a Thursday tournament though.

Hey, when did I become a "Senior Member"? I'm not THAT old!!

Yes Jeff it was good because you and Mike were there. Was the tournament held on Monday night? I know it was Monday Tuesday or Wednesday night. I can't remember which. I do know that there were lots of nice people and a fair amount of talent in there that night. I will definately be back to play for sure.

I can be....my wife has the day off so my 'honey-do' list should be done by then.

I've been practicing straight pool....do you play? My main game is 8-ball barbox, and I used to be pretty good at 9 foot 9 ball. Name your poison.

When you get to town, call me. My phone number is at my business site or in the phone book:

Oh I play 'em all. But I haven't played straight pool in a long, long time so that sounds like fun! I'll call ya.

I have a friend who used to live in Des Moines and he was telling me about some huge pool table there. 6x12? Very cool.

There was a Canadian snooker table but I think it's gone now. 10x5 foot billiards, though.

If I don't answer, leave a message...I'll be right back.

Thanks Jeff & Dan!!

I just wanted to say thanks to Jeff and Dan for meeting me at Big Dog's (Jeff) and Chris's (Dan). I had a great time!
 
And by the way...

Dan made 3 jump shots in a row against me. How strong is that???

I enjoyed the short visit, too. Wish we had a little more time, but I had a league call at the last minute to play. I sub for this team and it was the final night and they had to beat the 2nd place team for the season championship and they were desperately needing one more player, so I played.

By the time I got to Dog's, Peggy was about to leave. But, it is always a pleasure to meet AZers (so far, anyway, no stinkers).:)

Come on back, Peg, anytime.
