Now I'm starting to worry that we are getting Chatbox'd up in here. That reads like an AI hustler story. Very nice.

Cuz time is money at Derby
Well.... There are still some "characters".... Robb Saez was being an absolute jerk to me, and accused me of "stealing his cigarettes", after I just poked my head in the action room. I thought someone said something to the side, and said "What, I thought you said something to me?" to another player, and Robb jumped in in and said "Yeah, I said something!!!", in a very belligerent, challenging manner (though I know 100% he did not...)You explained it better than me:
I mean, it felt like a the center of the pool universe just happened to be at a cool older hotel for nine days. Now it feels like a casino that just happens to be having a pool tournament for nine days.
That’s dead nuts accurate!!!!
It feels like pool at a casino, which is better than nothing of course. But it doesn’t feel like ground zero for pool, and the milk drinkers are out in full force(vanilla people) I like character’s. You feel like you have to be on you best behavior because of security. Nobody woofing at anyone, it’s just not rough around the edges. I don’t have the right words again-but it just feels “like a casino with pool-not (pool)”.
Fatboy <——-misses the past
Wife came up, and said what's going on, and I said '"Nothing, just laughing at the foolishness.....", and then Robb tried to pick a fight with me, butI just walked away and ignored him.
Really not that difficult to see why that dude was banned from northeast tours for a few years. Generally, the other "characters" are a bit better behaved.
I was wondering where Scooter is this year.. He's the sort of dude that you love it when he talks crap to you.. :-D
I overheard someone talking about this. Some friend of the player I overheard had been offering fentanyl pills to the person telling the story, and he told him, "Nah, man.. I heard that stuff will kill you.."Lots, that’s certain.
There was the corners truck here day before yesterday. We don’t know who died. Could have been another non-pool guest. But we did have one down this year……rip
Next thing he knew, his friend had went back to his room and taken a dose,and ended up dying in the room.
I spoke to his other half Tedder, but didn’t ask him where scooter is, Scooby isn’t here either
I heard the coroner’s truck was here a couple days ago, I suppose that’s why.
i wouldn’t take a aspirin off the street theses day’s, I know lots of ppl who died last 5-6 years from that
Getting a cab or Uber here ain’t easy
Tedder, Scooter, and Scooby, I love it. Reminds me of the early 70's when I got out of the service, and my high school friends i still hung out with, all had nicknames. Some would change though pretty fast depending what happened that weekend.
I don't mind getting old so much, but I really miss those days, we were so close and did everything together.
If you are younger than me, heck if you are my age, take the time and try to get ahold of an old friend you haven't kept in touch with to shoot the breeze a bit. You won't regret it.

Go to the gentleman’s club down the road. You pass it going to the casino by the railroad tracks.

It's not real hard. It is 20 minutes out and 20 minutes back. And, you have to have a car or pay for a taxi/Uber.
There are probably much better places for the tournament in Louisville, but I bet they cost a lot more.
If I go next year it will be for the first time. I will rent a car and trolley hungry peeps back and fourth.

I made it to the DCC at the EW because a very good friend pushed me so hard -- so very hard. He became a relentless pain on the subject. Finally, I agreed and drove to Louisville. I will never, ever, be able to repay him.
Despite my current issues with the present DCC, what I should be telling all of ya'll is you need to GO, even go this year if you can manage. You may never have the chance to experience such ever again. I sure never expected the EWDCC experience to disappear in the blink of an eye. But it did. So grab all you can while what is left of it is still there. There might be nothing left at all next year,

Congratulations on starting with a win! The first match can really set the tone.
Reading the rest of the thread, I don't know what to say. Damned near every state has a gambling commission now and they protect organized gambling and organized crime. Absolutely stupid how hard they have their thumbs on my state, they even shut down church bingo!
Talking about the old days and the Executive West, a lot was better, a lot is receiving the golden glow of memory too. Doesn't matter, the move wasn't Diamond's choice or an option so end of story. Diamond has a long term contract where they are at, I forget the reasons or perhaps never heard. Doesn't matter, other than to say this is going to be the Derby for a few more years. For those that can, we will at least know to have fallback plans for food! I try to patronize the venue but there are things beyond ridiculous! I still remember a few food burns over the years.
Some fun stories, hopefully more to come from yesterday and today!

NoooooooClams, all you care to eat.
Thankfully they did install the sign to protect us all.
Nothing like feeling safe,
