ok rude dog,we can come to kingman for the etc part and borrow those quad bikes of yours for the 2,000 mile journey for a beer! :p
 
Got to go to Tennessee, Muhahahahahahahahahaha!
Just kidding. If you aren't a vampire or poor, go to SanDiego and LA. On the other side, Florida might be a good choice. On the 3rd hand, figure a date and come for a big tournament, like derby city.
 
Recommendations ...

Maybe St. Louis, Mo. or Atlanta, Ga. or Tulsa, Ok.

Personally, I don't think you could wrong if you planned it
at a time that some of the best tournaments were going on,
and went to the city where it is located at. Like for one
of the IPT events, or the U.S. Open 9 ball championship,
or the Derby City Classic. Out of those the Derby City
Classic would be lots of Pool, lots of fun. It is held in January
every year.

Hi Magician,
Do you happen to belong to an APN League? If so I met 2 of your other members last year @ the Midwest Open in St Charles, IL, Pete Williams, & Andy Jeronimidis

Just about any major city in Texas will do just fine. Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Austin, will all provide all the action, great food, and nightlife you can handle.

Ever think about going to Canada instead? Lots of amazing poolhalls*, night life, nearbye casino's in Orillia and Niagara Falls, non-american beer (grin)...

*Like the Academy for the Spherical Arts for example

Need a little more information. When are you coming, how long wil you be staying and whats your real interest, Night life, pool sightseeing and so on the US is a big place you can't just jump around so easy you. Be sure you know what you are going to be doing as far as rental cars and so on the rules can be different for people from out of the country. I just ran into this with some friends from Germany this week, they couldn't rent a car. I ended having to rent them a car in my name and putting them down as extra drivers. They were lucky they knew someone here or their trip would have been ruined. If you are coming for the pool I would really suggest you come for the Derby classic. If you want some night life as well as some pool Florida would be a good choice.
