Well, I am heere at last. I drove yesterday from Phoenix to Dallas, what a drive! Its a 16hr drive and to be honest I love Texas but getting here is a BORING drive. I left at 6.30am yesterday and thought I might be able to make it to Dallas by 9.00pm. However I forgot they are 2hrs ahead of phoenix and so I didn't get in until midnight, I had picked up 6 pack on the way and so when I got in I realized that it's after 12.00 that mean it is now officially my birthday :) whoo hoo Party. Well I could not get Johnny or Nick out of bed to come and celebrate with me so I had a hell of a time on my own.
Today I am not feeling so great not a hangover just tired. Just had breakfast with JA and NV and we have a pool school this morning at 11.00. I know that this probably all means nothing at this point but as we go along the next 12 days something is gonna happen on the road. Not sure what but something funny always seems to happen. So I will keep you updated. This way you know the story from the begining when/if it does.
 
Happy birthday! Looking forward to some stories from on the road, I'm sure something crazy will happen.
 
Ok, so not much has happened at this point. Yesterday we had the pool school in Dallas and it went really well. It was nice to see some faces from last year and some new ones too.
We left the pool room and went straight to Dickie's BBQ. I just ove their Brisket Sandwich. After that we hit the road for Austin and shared some of the stories from last year (Hurricane Ike) Johnny Earl and I could not find a hotel room last year as all the people from Houston had moved up here. T the time it was a nightmare but we can look back at it an laugh now. We are staying at the Hilton, I love the Hilton. I mean where else on earth can you buy a burger for $20.00?? Also they charge you $15.00 a day to park in their parking lot. To me if I am staying at your hotel I should not have to pay to park in your parking lot. What am I gonna do park a mile away and walk over to your hotel?? They got you and they know it. I would rather they just put the price up $15.00 and not mention the parking I would not fee so bitter. Also Let me talk about the Burger, I decided last night since it was my birthday to get myself a burger on room service. I looked at the menu and I was actually surprised that I could get a burger for only $8.95.
So I called down there and they asked if I want Fries? Thats an extra $2.50., sure what the hell I need fries. So my medium cooked burger gets tomy room and the guys says "Thats $18.00 and change". "WHAT??" Burger = $8.95 + Fries = $2.50 + Tax 9 % = $1.00 aprox + Delivery fee = $2.00 + 20% Gratuity = $2.20. Some of these numbers are not correct as I don't have the reciept just like I didin't have any silverware or napkins and I didn't have a medium burger I had a well done burger. The nicle and dimed me andgave me crappy food, Oh the fries were cold too. I was starving andit was late so I ate the crap sandwich.
Anyway let me calm down again. We have our school here in Austin at 11.00 at Warehouse Billiards and we are looking forward to it. I hope my next report isn't and angry. :)
