Red Shoes Qualifier July 23 to be streamed
- Thread starter dmgwalsh
- Start date
With any luck at all there will be better match ups and I will be no where near the TV table.
However, I feel your love and if I make it to a TV match I promise to do a double chest pump and sent it back your way

Dennis, are you privy to why George and George are not playing? I don't know the 2nd George, but G. Fels is an acknowledged 14.1 guru and 100 ball runner. Why ain't he playin'?
Lou Figueroa
GF has a bit of a bad back. In our leagues we would let him play just one match instead of two. A few years back I know he was playing in tournaments, but I am not sure that his back can handle a full day at the table anymore. I did hear he had another hondo about a month ago.
GP is an elder statesman of the game as well, but I bet he could still put a whupping on some of us 50+ year old whippersnappers.
p.s. Are you going to see Dallas when you are in town. I was thinking of seeing if he wanted to come by.
No, won't be seeing Dallas. Wife and I will be rolling into town Friday afternoon for dinner and a show at Second City. Will just have time for two and out Saturday

I'm just the guy behind the cameras and computers but I'm sure that idea will be brought up in conversation. :yeah:

Something New
We will be arriving at Red Shoes about 2:00 PM EDT and will be attempting something a new for us live stream.
Stay tuned for a stream from a totally different point of view. Should be interesting or at the very least, unusual.

Well, for me it is now time to get back to packing the gear, loading it all in the van, followed by the 3 hour drive to Red Shoes.
See you there.

Thanks to Steve and Curly for helping promote our game of 14.1 :thumbup:
Also thanks to Pat Fleming for putting a link to the coverage on his accu-stats site. http://www.accu-stats.com/
Hey D,
Pat gave you a special shout out last night after the Hopkins challenge match... He thanked you personally for all that you do for the game !!!
Steve
Not only that, his staff even sent out emails to all the Accu-Stats subscribers about this event and stream. How strong is that!
Steve and Curly have put in some very long and arduous hours fine tuning "everything" in regards to this and many more varied events to come. I have been lucky enough to be in on some of that as an observer and can honestly say that the stream quality is second to none. It will be best viewed from their site as the screen size is bigger and clearer than that on ustream or any other site I have known to date. Also, the chat area is larger and is off to the right rather then the underneath/tiny versions that are prevalent on other personal sites. Overall, it gives ustream the 7 and other personal sites the 5 and steals.
I see some really good things coming out of this pair of stalwart proponents of "feltdom" ... can't wait for this and all future events to come. This is proof that there are good things happening in our sport and good, selfless, dedicated people behind it!
Bob <--Thinks Steve Kurtz will be the happiest man on the planet during this 14.1 stream! :dance:>
That's nice. I wish I could have heard it but I was playing my League match at the IBC. To have Pat Fleming mention my name is an honor. And to have him put our event on his website and send the link out to his customers is also appreciated by me, John Lavin of Red Shoes and everyone else involved in the event.
I just got back from Red Shoes. Andy from Michigan and I played a little. He is in the event. Edgar Shuff who told me he was going to watch the Maryland Straight Pool surprised me by being here. He changed his mind and he is in the event also. Tom Karabotsos said he would be there. Jeff Carter is still not sure.

Curly and Steve were there setting up and things look pretty good. Freddy the Beard was there playing banks and testing his vocal chords on the front table. I forgot to tell him the stream is meant to be PG. I better remember tomorrow.
Later, 14.1 Addicts. Time to get some sleep.
