Hello's, Thank You's, and Happenings at the IPT

Sweet Marissa

Johnny V, it was great meeting you and your little boys! They're absolutely adorable! I also met Colin, though we didn't get to talk very much. The girls in China must go crazy over him ;) Linda Carter and I sweated some matches and she's even lovelier in person.

During the finals, some guys from Boys II Men and NSYNC showed up in the audience. I didn't get any pics, but I'm sure someone else did. Red Sox outfielder Johnny Damon showed up earlier in the week to hit some with Mike Sigel. That got us some press in the Boston Globe!

The green room was incredible: lounge chairs to watch matches on a plasma screen, private internet access, organic food and bottled water, masseurs, practise tables... all limited to tournament players and press.

The players meeting was recorded onto CD, which everyone got with their passes along with programs! I recommend everyone listening to that if they haven't already. Programs included player bios, introductions from Kevin Trudeau and Deno Andrews, a summary of eight ball rules, and a "how-to" on reading the Round Robin scorecards.

Did anyone hear about the ref that started racking the balls while Efren was still on the eight during his last match on Saturday? ROTFLMAO I didn't see it personally since I was watching the Archer-Varner match, but it caused quite the stir!!

During the final matches Saturday night, Kevin decided to reward any player who won the lag and ran all eight racks with an additional $100,000!

All together an overwhelming, unbelievable groundbreaking event!!

Yeah. Love the shout out to Angel......:rolleyes:
She was one of the nicest people I met in Orlando. She introduced herself to me after the finals and we chatted about the IPT for a bit. I hope to see her as an alternate.

Got "us" some press - as in pool in general.

The Green Room is limited to only players and press. I had a VIP All Access pass and Deno also gave me a tour on Friday.

Some people need to re-read the title of the thread. I'm appreciating the friends and people I saw at the tournament, and sharing my experience there. I hope to see more AZers at the next event!

It's truly amazing that the things you say about people here are 180 degrees different than what you say elsewhere. Take Angel for instance. . . . . .

No need to re-read, my reading comprehension is just fine thank you.
Someday you may understand that there are people on here who understand that the reality is, you starve attention, hence your post.

I give up. Please, by all means, carry on with your Master Groupie thingie you've got going on. It seems to be working well in your world.
