How about a meeting together

Kudos to you Dean

This sounds like a great idea. I would love to put some faces with names and there are certainly some hands I would like to shake.

Should hold the meeting in Canada. We've got enough room plus those U.S. dollars will go 40% further up here at the moment.

Now this right here would be a good thing, considering the current USD Exchange Rate.

30% or close depending. Trips would almost be free.

I have to get my Pass Port renewed and see if they will allow me back into the USA.

Had a tiny little problem at a Border Crossing one evening.

Was in my truck and received what they refer to as a "Direct Export". I then asked the Canadian Border Guard if they were going to let me back in to Canada.
He said, "I guess that we don't have a choice".

Gee thanks guys.
 
Is there an epicenter of billiards?
Deanoc throws it out there for a rally of sorts and, there is interest, I’ve seen it mentioned before, with a “yeah, that would be cool!” With most things that have destinations they require time, then, it is about location, location and location. The few places mentioned shows that there are places to go, for a few - - - from almost the four corners of the country – reality sets in on the actual ability for the wide range of travel for such a rally to happen. It would be great to just step out and shoot some with others here, but… so,

I’m thinking of a place, haven’t been up there in a couple years,

if,

a place for family,

down and out time,

space for tables – for use any hour of the day,

some organized play and the reason for this venture,

what about Branson?

It is in the middle of the country with other things to do for all; at least for most I would think, I’m not sure about any strip clubs, it is Missouri though.

I'm looking at this IF all the conditions that meet the value of time were align,
hum m, goush, I'm glad this isn't, wouldn't, be anything like putting a video, show, together.
 
Is there an epicenter of billiards?

Not sure if there is an Epicenter. Wasn't it Jim Wych, (SP), that recently opened a
new hall in Toronto. Other than that one in particular, many decent halls in the Downtown vicinity.

As far as being easy to book flights into Toronto or driving from the East Coast, it would be handy.

If Canada, or Toronto was picked, not saying that it has to be, quite a few Players in Toronto and surrounding area that I would bet would be willing to help with Logistics and such.

If I knew a bit in advance, I would book a cheaper West Jet Flight before the date.
 
somebody who likes the idea needs to organize ,pick a place get commitments from the guys and I will contact the peolwe I know too
lets either get busy or decide not to have any fun
 
Scott Lee gets around everywhere. Maybe he has some ideas and then take a vote?

I thinking that probably the best idea would be to work out who is serious about making the journey. From the try to agree on something centrally located for those who are going to attend. I would have no problem with going to Canada but I think it can take quite awhile to get a passport which I and I assume others may need to get before crossing the border.
 
I been wondering about this and how it could get accomplished.....it sounds like it could be a gas.......wouldn't it be cool to do this a couple of days before one of the regional cue shows? Imagine that after this soiree' ends, the following day the cue show would roll into town. It might become like a bunch of guys meeting every year before the Super Bowl.....what a cool tradition that might evolve into.

I'm interested but my availability is going to be limited til mid-year or possibly longer. I have to first see how this next surgery fares and if the past is any indicator, then I'm likely not done having them....after I find out what the outlook is on my shoulder post surgery, I'll know a lot more about my availability.

my guess is this would be good if centrally located

Atlanta,chicago.reno Nevada or las vegas


in vegas I could get the south west cue people to drop by

if mark griffin could arrange for us to use the pool room where something else is occuring too

will prout might have some ideas for the cue collectors to meet at the same time

the people with booths might add $$ to allow us to attract some entertainment

what I don't like about the tournaments is the lack of spectator involvement

instruction and exhibition

now,who wants to get somebody involved to put this together


we could sponsor a tournament,something like every state gets a champion,they play each other over the months to narrow it down to the last 4 ,who play it out here

something like an amateur event,with maybe $5000 to the winner,either one pocket or 14.1

then we need the players to inter act with us
 
Rusty Melton is one of the guys I most want to meet

Surely we could run Raffles and Rusty could be paid and one lucky stiff could win
a beautiful case.
Rusty could get the recognition he deserves and sell some cases or take orders

These ideas to provide people to be there are mine

Scott Lee and Randy Godfrey can provide some instruction,have fun and maybe schedule some private instruction when we see how good they are

There may be a chance to get a match between Grady and Mark Tad or BILLY incadone.

LETS GET Harry PLATIS TO COME, this would entertain everyone,see some real pool action
like in the movie

IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE

the idea of playing BILLY incardone a cheap set might provide years of memories

I BET THIS WILL BE THE MOST FUN YOU WILL EVER HAVE AT A TOURNAMENT
OR ANY SHOW

I might like to hit a few balls with BUDDY Hall, joe SALAZAR

heck some of you guys don't know JOE WAS THE BEST BAR POOL PLAYER IN THE WORLD

YOU GUYS JUST THINK HE SELLS CUES


dO WE NEED TO COMBINE THIS WITH A TOURNAMENT OR COLLECTORS THING
THEN THEY NEED TO CONTACT US
 
I'd like to be in on this if Dean arranges it. He is a fine host who isn't opposed to robbing his friends in one pocket by giving them a good dose of old school one hole. :-)

Anywhere within a day's drive of OKC would be very nice.
 
I would be interested in this too. The location would matter a lot to me...I'm in Massachusetts. The SBE or possible one of the Vegas events this summer might be a two birds kind of situation.

Great idea!
