I'll be in Honolulu for a week next month. Are there any good weekly tournaments on 9 foot tables? I guess I'd even play on bar boxes if I have to.

If nothing else, I'll at least hit Hawaiian Brian's a few times. I'm planning on bringing my cue.

Cheap sets with other AZ'ers is OK too.
 
Hawaii Pool

When you are here, stop in Skindeep Tattoo in Waikiki on a Thursday, Friday, or Saturday evening and I'll give you the skinny. Aloha
 
Will Do

Fun in the sun Say hi to aki at Brians

Try the aloha Stadium flea market. Choclate Donkey balls from Kona, Coffee, Tee-Shirts aat the stadium are the nuts 6-20.dollars You can buy pearls if you know what to look for black pearls, pearls from jp akmoto pearls. There is a jeweler who makes all the island braclets you need to go to the manufactures shop.Ask the cue guy the jeweler sells diamonds in a mall shop and is a caged in place.Buy from him and you'll ge the right size braclets and 18kt. Go to Brians Aki might give you the tour once you talk cues jw's on the wall with gus Szamboti's Heaven Ask about the cue Lucky wants from Powerhouse billiards jp. Your dreams may come true if he show ya it.The cue that is.It will fetch more than all others.Cost Co is on Maui other chains too. Eat the bucket of boat trash at Forest Gumps Place the best fish and fries. Good luck just talking where you want to retire meat bread gas exp. so what do it all rent car and drive swim and climb volcanes one island to the next

Isn't this question one of the signs you have an addiction? :D
Going on vacation and asking where to play pool.

I thought playing pool is what you are supposed to do on vacation. Is there anything else to do in a place like Hawaii?

Do I need an intervention?
 
Vacation

Isn't playing pool a sort of vacation for the soul anyway?? Where better to play than here in the land of vacations. It does sound like an addiction. Who says addictions are bad.
After the pool if you want to do and see other things, we can help.
 
I was on the Big Island for a couple of weeks last year and played a couple of times!!!!!!

Russ.....
 
All is good here. "Cuebuilder" has been a great help in Hawaii (thanks for a great dinner at a great place, Dave.) I've been to Hawaiian Brian's 3 times, and will play in the open tournament tomorrow night. I talked to Aki on the phone once, but he doesn't own the place any more.

Today I was at Volcano National Park on the big island (no pool, but a must see for anyone.)

I'm not looking forward to going back home.

I wouldn't bother to bring my cue. I was in Honolulu a month ago, and in case you didn't see my post, this is what I wrote home about:

I'm back from Hawaii...
So thanks to all your recommendations of Hawaiian Brian's, I naturally decided to check it out... and man, was I in for a sad surprise!

I don't know how to put this gently, but compared to what I'm used to (back in Scandinavia and here in Northern California) the Brian's place sucks, big time. The entire place is dirty, including floors, tables and balls -- several times I had to go to the bathroom to wash my hand(s) as my bridge hand got sticky & blue by the dirty table-cloth. The balls were trowing big time since they had probably never been washed, the rails were broke/inconstant, and the table that supposedly had the tightest pockets (table #39) felt like buckets compared to the pockets we play at Shoreline Billiards here in Bay Area... and Brian's doesn't even serve any beer!!!

Well, if any of you Hawaiians are coming to Northern California, check out Shoreline Billiards (especially table #4) and you'll be in for a nice surprise.

I wasn't impressed with Brians either.

You might find some small table action at the dawg house in the international market place. There was also some country bar right behind it (across the street behind the market place) that had a free bar box tourny 1-2 nights a week. This info is a couple of years old, so neither may exist any more.
 
I knew u was going to be out of town but u never said u was going to paradise good luck in the open tournament its still slow here in the sticks u going to be back in town by Friday bowman is playing Shane Van Boening in desmoines at 7 Mark and I are goin up

I still intend on getting to Bali. I couldn't make it in April because of business. I will be at the WPC in Manila in November. Will you be there?
 
JimS & gotgame, I'll be back on Thursday. Good thing there's no more wind. I'm stayin home on Friday, but I'm sure the game between SVB and JJB will be good. Hope to see you both soon.
 
I made it back this morning, but my luggage didn't. My ivory Southwest is in there somewhere (or it was when I checked it in Honolulu.) United says the last time it scanned was in L.A. at 11:30 last night. I'm starting to sweat a little.

Dave, thanks again for everything. I'll see you again next year. And hopefully I'll still have that cue.
 
WOW, I sure hope your luggage shows up!! I hope we didn't moke you by talking about this kind of stuff the other day.
It was a real pleasure meeting you and your mother. Peggy really enjoyed her.
We may try to go to Manilla for the world. If we do, maybe we can sit and talk some cue then. If we don't make it there will always be "Next Year" Shoot well and get that cue back.
