Wow - What a great tournament! I loved seeing old friends, making new ones, and meeting the AZers I post with every day! Everyone was so nice, especially the players and the staff of Bankshots, I may have to consider moving to Jacksonville!

Tony Robles, Frank Alvararez, Thorsten Hohmann, Ralf Souquet, John Schmidt, Tony Crosby, Charlie Bryant, Tommy Kennedy, Johnny Archer, Rodney Morris, Max Eberle, Mike Davis, Gabe Owen, John Ditoro, Troy Frank, Luc Salvas, Mika Immonen, and Ronny Parks... a group of (almost) perfect gentlemen lol! I'll talk to some of you before I see you again, but I'll miss you all! (Special hugs and kisses to Tony R, Frank, Toasti, Ralf, and John!!)

Frank, thank you for the wonderful case. It's refreshing to know that there are other Christians involved in professional pool. I'm so looking forward to Vegas!

Dave Sapolis aka Blackjack (thanks so much for the book!) and Shane Sinnott (Platinum Billiards): y'all are awesome... and that Timberly... ::whew:: nice and good-looking! BTW, Deadstroke, thanks for the "hottie" reference... I did have some "interesting" conversations this weekend! My fave pickup line was probably "So... I've got lots of money." LMAO

Karim Belhaj and Philippe Singer of Predator Cues took Toasti, Ralf, and me on a tour of the Predator plant and we got to measure the power of our breaks (or lack thereof, in my case lol). I look forward to working with them (and Allan) in Vegas!

Stan Shuffett, it was great meeting you and I wish all the best for Landon. I'm sure I'll see y'all in Atlanta.

Jeff and Joan Scott (Bankshots owners) have one of the nicest pool halls I've seen and can't wait to visit again.

Everyone had a great time after the tourney at Toasti's house (the dome) ... though I was the first to fall asleep lol ... and Shane, I'm already retelling the Moby-Las Vegas story, but it's just not as funny as when you tell it, of course. You're going to have to post it!

Sorry if I missed anyone - it was an overwhelming weekend! I'm still going through pictures, but will upload them and post a link soon!

Marissa,
I enjoyed the time we spent together. You did a great job, and yes... Timberly is a great looking woman! Sorry we weren't able to get with you, Ralf and Thorsten yesterday to tour the Predator plant. I ended up on a golf course with Shane, Jeff, and John Schmidt. It was a lot of fun and may I say by the end of the round someone threw their putter in the pond out of frustration. I'll let you guess who it was. I've got our picture, send me your email address so I can send it to you.

My email is sweetmarissa@gmail.com. If anyone else has any good shots, I'd love to see them!

BTW, was it John who threw his putter?

Great to meet you too. You did a great job at the event.

The Moby story is one I only tell in person!!

Aww, thanks Marissa & BlackJack! The older you get & the more weight you gain, the less you hear compliments! ;) Marissa, sorry we didn't get our pic. I really wanted to but Sat night my guy was so hungry that we had to bolt & then of course Sun happened... Definitely next time for sure (maybe).. you're too pretty & skinny for me to stand next to! Let me lose weight first. :D

Pimp daddy BlackJack, it was a pleasure meeting you in person. Because we can't "hear" each other on the computer, it's sometimes hard to grasp the persons real personality. I enjoyed talking to you & getting to know you a little better. Who was the gentleman in the pic that I took of the two of you? I'm so bad with names... I want to say it was Jeff, but I'm not sure. I'll be sure to post it when I get home this evening.

Deadstroke, it was also a pleasure meeting you. Thanks for sweatin the matches with me. Unfortunately I didn't get the pleasure of officially meeting your wife on Sun... wasn't the best day of the weekend for me :rolleyes:

There was a gentleman from Brunswick, GA that sweated some matches with me too and I can't remember his name to save my life. Heckuva nice guy! Deadstroke, do you remember his name?

I think those were all the "new" people that I met. Of course it was a pleasure seeing all those that I already knew. I enjoy going to the tournaments and wish I could go to more of them. I'm shooting for Atlanta but I don't know if that'll happen or not. I haven't been home on the wkend in over a month and I'm about tapped out on travel money! :(

I'd have to see the picture. It might have been Tom Potter. As far as the pimp reference goes, I would never pimp out Marissa, but next event I will tell everybody I'm her dad (especially Mika) just to see if they behave any better.
 
Sounds like a great time was had by all in FL!

*pouting* .... too bad nothing cool ever happens in Texas....

You mean you didn't go to the compound burning and shootout with David Koresh and gang?

Marissa's Photo Album

Alright, until my personal site is up and running, I created a photo album for everyone to look through. I'll add more as people send them to me. If you have any you want me to add, my email is sweetmarissa@gmail.com.

Is that left head-tilt the trademark you learned in "modeling" school??? :p

Oops, I just re-viewed the pics and see that your head tilt is always toward the other people in the picture. Two people with you in the middle = head straight! :D

Marissa,

I can't believe you left me out! I'm still catching up from being sick the whole week and here I am browsing this site at work even though I've got a ton of stuff to do!

Blackjack, it was a pleasure meeting you and chatting and playing with you as well.

All the others, sorry I didn't meet any of you properly!

Best Regards,
Todd

I take it Mr. Mika didn't behave himself?!?!? Shame on him but I must admit, I don't know when he had a chance to get away with being bad cause Marissa was never w/out two or three people around her. ;)
 
Todd! I'm sorry! I said I was overwhelmed! (and I'm sure your name isn't the only one I forgot to mention)
