Hot Shots is in Tigard, near Portland. There's Cue's on Stark St., too. And don't forget Bill Smutz' room in Battle Ground, WA (just across the border) with a 9' pool and 10' snooker table. You are welcome to stop by (even have an extra bedroom if you are interested in saving hotel money). PM or e-mail for directions. Oregon still allows smoking, by the way. Not sure what part of NCal you are from, but I have lived in quite a few places down there. Moved up here about 11 years ago.
