Finally at home. Had 25 hours of travelling since DCC was done, and have been working 2 days and sleeping for almost 36 hours since I arrived home. First time I start the computer since I got back home, haven't had the needed energy to start posting again.
I started out with staying a week in New York, and I got time to play some pool at Eastside Billiards, Amsterdam Billiards playing Jennifer Barretta, Raxx Poolroom playing the Predator Tour and lastly a weekly tournament at Masters Billiards. Was fun in New York, met a lot of new, cool people and I will definitely go back there one day. I guess my brother will join me to New York once again too, because he was high after he got a hug from Jennifer, and he couldn't believe that she was the girl that I had scheduled to play with
WPBA has got a new fan in my brother now 
Watchez was the first person I met at the Derby this year, and he was more helpful to me than what could be expected. Thanks a lot, Watchez, that sure meant a lot. Btw, while checking in, I got to take a closer look at his cue, and I have to tell you guys that his cue is the nicest cue you will ever get to see.
I got a chance to meet Greg Sullivan this year, and I had many different chats with him, but I remember teling him that if I had knew that the Europeans wouldn't be here when I booked my flight I wouldn't go to Derby this year, but I was glad I didn't know. This DCC was awesome, there was action everywhere every single night.
Compared to last year I didn't spend much time in the AZ Room, but focused more on the Action Room. The Action Room was non-smoking this year, so I spent quite some time in there and got to meet a lot more people than I did last year. I can't even start to name the people, because I am so terrible on remember names, but it was very funny to hang out with Beav, even though it was costly to bet together with him.
It was nice to meet The Nit, and Bartram was a funny guy. Too bad he wasn't in more action. I've been feeding a family of five for a year now by betting against Bartram, so I was kind of dissapointed that he was just walking around like a zoombie and not playing pool. I was litterally 3 feet away from him all the time trying to get a game and to get action on other matches, and in the end it finally paid off. For Bartram. He ended $ 500 winner... (Or, I still made profit on betting against Bartram and Bartram's matches, since I booked a winner on Busty-Bartram)
I shared room with JoeyA this year, it was fun as always, but since he snore so loud (he kept all of the 8th floor awake at nights, and half of the 7th and 9th floor) I couldn't go to bed before 7:30 in the morning, when he woke up. So I basically spent the nights staying in action either playing myself or doing sidebets.
I played a lot with 1on1pooltourneys ($50, $100, $200, $400 and $500 sets), and made sure that he was sharp, focused and ready for fish coming his way. I think he owes me a jelly for all the work I put into making him a winner, but instead he wants a $ 100 now since his field won the Wheelchair Championship against my player... Argh...
The one-pocket tournament was a disaster for me, and I only won 1 match. My problem is that I played pool like 20 times since the DCC last year, so as I told "T" during our lunch, it was hard to predict which Roy that would play my matches. The good or the bad. In 9-ball the bad and the good one played a few matches each, and I managed to finish tied 42nd with players such as Bustamante and Parica, so I am considering to officially retire now, haha.
"Donkey Dick" Mars was definitely a guy that I liked, and I hope to meet him some more in the future. We're gonna have a lots of fun, and book some winners for sure
During the Fatboy 10-ball Challenge I got a seat next to Joe Villalpando, and it took only minutes before he had trapped me on a bet and I lost $ 20 to him... He asked for 2-1 that the 4-ball would go 4 rails and into the pocket on Shane's next break... well... I had to pay... Shane breaks like a monster in 10-ball...
The other day I went to Joe V's booth, and tried out his kicking system. I've never believed in systems, but I tried 15 kicks doing exactly what he told me to do, and I hit the ball 14 out of 15 times. The one time I missed I just hit it softer on the next shot and hit the ball. His DVD's (pooliq.net) are definitely worth a try.
I still won't ever read a thread about aiming systems though
Ok, I am sure I've forgotten a lot, and should have mentioned way more people and things going on, but it's impossible to remember all after such a week. Everyone I met was friendly, no one beat the hell out of me as they said they would, and in fact 2 guys said sorry for posts they have made and said that I am a good guy after all
Oh, I have to say that NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE, buys more drinks to people than Boradriver!!! Stay close to him and you might get your face on a picture with a Sheriff you too
It was an extremely funny week, and I'll definitely be back.

Hey, if you want your revenge and we don't meet in the tournament, you'll find me in the action room. I am sure we can work something out. 
Too bad you "cheated" using the secret finger-move when I had you in a trap in the set two days later
