Some pics from Orlando

I went on saturday and had a great time. Thank you Eydie for putting on a great open. I wish I could have spent more time talking to you but as we could all see you were quite busy.

The normal crew was there Hustlefinger and Doc Torres. Got to meet Joe Tucker and John Barton. Joe has got some great products and his 3rd eye stroke trainer is something to check out. This was the first time I had met John Barton and I finally got to clear the air about the fake Ebay ad way back when on RSB. We got to share Hal Houle systems and talking about different shots.

Dead Stroke and Blackjack were great to meet. We BS'ed for more than 3 hours and had a great time. Both of you were cool to my kids and included them in the conversation and I appreciate that. Both are outstanding and know quite a bit about the game.

Met Daytona Joe but he ran off within 5 minutes of us arriving. I think he was helping out with the mini's or he just didn't want to talk to me :) jk.

It was a lot of fun and look forward to next years. My oldest already wants to play in the father/son match. It was cool to take them to something like this to peak their interest.

Thanks again everyone for a great time.

What a fabulous time in Orlando! I loved seeing some of my good friends on AZ:

Todd (thoffen), thanks for the "tour" of Orlando and getting me to the airport (on time). We'll always have Tampa! :D

Daytona Joe, you're such a sweetheart, and for those of you who haven't heard... he won the cue that was raffled Saturday, and he auctioned it off along with Deadstroke's JB, to raise an additional $100 for Chris Cass' family.

Deadstroke, it was great seeing you again and I'm sure I'll see you in ATL soon. Tell the wifey hello and I hope she's feeling well!

Blackjack, as always it was great hanging out with you. We helped raise over $700 for Vivian's Kidz, so thanks to everyone who supported the cause!

Tony Crosy, it was great seeing you again and a pleasure to finally meet your lovely wife. Good luck with the new baby on the way!

Diana Hoppe and Earl Strickland, thanks for the laughs! Loved seeing your beautiful pictures from Hawai'i, but don't forget to bring me next time!!

Eydie Romano, you're a doll! Thanks for the opportunity to help with Chris' family!

John Barton and his girlfriend, Max; Susiecue; Joe Tucker; The Kid; and the real Bob Romano (lol)... It was great meeting y'all and hope to see everyone again soon!

Also met the Josey family, including their talented son, Daniel. Thank you again for the magic tricks and the bracelet! God Bless!

I met so many wonderful people, and I'm sure I've forgotten to mention some, so I'm sorry, but we all had a great time, though my feet and legs are so sore!

Pics have been added to my photo album under "Billiards". A few funny ones there :D

Thanks to everyone who came out and supported this tournament!

I had a great time Saturday meeting all the AzB‘ers. I always find it strange walking up to someone I’ve never met to introduce myself. But, I can say, everyone was great. Eydie, DaytonaJoe, Onepocketchump, Deadstroke, Blackjack, Sweet Marissa, Johnny “V” and Joe Tucker were all great.

A very special thanks to Eydie for all the hard work she did putting together this event. It was a true pleasure meeting you. Thanks again for the free ice cold beverage of my choice and I hope to see you soon.

Daytonajoe – great meeting you. Joe was busy running around doing tournament stuff, so we didn’t have much chance to talk. But I will say he looks nothing like his avatar.

Johnny “V’ – as always, it was great seeing you again.

Onepocketchump – I had a great time talking and shooting a little pool with you.

Deadstroke - Made me feel like a life long friend, very cool dude. It was great meeting and talking to you.

Blackjack – hope to see you post more but I understand why you might not. It was a pleasure meet you and I hope to see you playing throughout Florida.

Sweet Marissa – great meeting you, a very charming young lady. I still think you should have played in one of mini tourneys.

Joe Tucker – We had a good discussion on pool and I bought the 3rd eye stroke trainer and racking secrets DVDs. I’ve only watched the first half of racking secrets and believe it will pay off big time. Thanks. It was a pleasure meeting you.
