I'll do my best to keep you updated about the goings on here. Got in last night and visited with Pat Fleming of Accu-Stats. Very nice set-up for his TV arena and a nice "black" diamond table. Should make for some great viewing. We'll try to get some of the final Fatboy matches on there. I think everyone who buys this feed is going to be in for a treat. Danny D. and Mark Wilson will be doing most of the commentary.
I like the new set-up for the tournament area as well. More open and spacious, with a better floor plan. Large directories that tell you where the matches and tables are located. Nice! Greg Sullivan always works hard to make this event better each year.
I'm glad I brought my cue. Seems like everyone wants a piece of me, a decrepit and broken down pool hustler.
I got in a "friendly" partners Bank game with Harry Platis. Twenty a man. I took John Stravinsky as a partner and Harry took his buddy Mike from Seattle. I came in cold without hitting a ball. All three of them had been warming up for 20-30 minutes. We won the flip and I said the break shot will be my warm up. First game we are down 3-2 and I run three and out. I break in game two, make a ball and run five and out! Triple cool! So I hit 'em with an eight out of the gate. We win the next two games also, and Harry is sharking me like Hell. :smile::smile::smile:
Even for a friendly wager he doesn't want to lose. We play a while longer and I'm getting tired from the all day travel to get here, and finally have to quit about Midnite. John and end up small winners, but I promise a rematch - some day! :wink: This is all the bragging you'll hear from me. I have a lot of work to do the next few days. I won't even have time to play in any of the main tournaments, but I will try to play the Bank Pool mini on Saturday night.
I got my first official sign-up for the Fatboy Challenge. Jon Hennessee laid $500 on me the minute he came in. This one's going to be good. I can smell it!
