I just wanted to say that it was great seeing all of the AZ members who went to Atlanta this weekend.
First, Mike Janis ran a great tournament. It had to be tough keeping things in line all week, with 3 major events in the same week. But everything ran smoothly, and there was nothing but nice things said about the way the tournament ran.
Second, THe Pool Room 2 is a first class room. It is a upscale room, but with Dianne Gabbard (former WPBA player), Wade Crane as house pro, Mark Gregory, Brian Butler, and Stevie Moore, Monica Webb, and Helena Thornfeldt as regulars, it's very player friendly. The food was good, and the wait staff was great (the girls were cute as hell).
It was nice to meet Lamar25. He's alot of fun, and will throw money into a calcutta like nobody's business. I saw Fluidstroke, but he was playing a match, and I didn't want to disturb him. ScottR must have gone for the weekend by the time I got there. He must have thought I would hit him up to buy me a drink when I got there. I chatted with Cuechick, and she was pleasant as always. She was hitting the balls pretty well in the tournament also. I got to speak to Cueman (Chris H) for the first time in a long while. I bought a cue lathe from him about 10 years ago, and I wanted to let him know that it still works just fine.
Sarah Rousey was there, hitting the balls great, and she was as nice as ever. She's by far my favorite WPBA player. She stayed in action, as well, complaining once that she won $100 playing 1-pocket, but that the time was $150. Hope she didn't agree that the winner had to pay the time.
I talked to Mike Janis between his efforts running the tournament. He put on a great show, although he cost me $50 by picking Shannon to win the overall. I had Larry Nevel who finished 2nd. Alot of work went into this event, and Mike deserves a huge chunk of the credit.
Shawn Putnam, Danny Harriman, Lil Jon, Smackmac, Merkyone, and other AZ members were there, and playing great.
I talked with Marissa again, and she was looking hot as usual. She was very pleasant and it was great to talk with her between the times that all the guys were vying for her attention.
I hope I haven't left anyone out. The tournament and action were both awesome. I'm sure this will turn into a premier event on the pool circuit in a very short time.
