Just showing a little appreciation for this "community".
I received a PM from a NEW member here that noticed from one of my posts that I was in Peoria IL. Brandon (screenname capnp72) lives -is stationed at- in the north Chicago burbs (Great Lakes Naval base), but his folks live here in Peoria. He asked if I could tell him a few places to shoot pool whenever he came down to visit. Of course, I said whenever he was here he could call me and I'd meet him at the poolhall (Dave's Goodtime Billiards), or somewhere else if he wanted.
Saturday I met Brandon at the poolhall and we shot a few games. Very nice young man, even though I think he may have been setting me up for next time
This place is SO cool when it comes to meeting other folks (whether I'm out of town or someone is coming to mine) with interests in pool. So a BIG thanks again to AZB for giving me the avenue to meet folks from around the country that I may not have met otherwise. Whether it's a regional tourney, an action event (I went to Frost/SVB in Des Moines), the DCC, or even a meet up through a PM on here....meeting folks that also surf the AZB is GREAT!! :thumbup:
oh, and an invaluable resource on streaming....that 30 hour 1P match that Lenny somehow hung in there for...UNBELIEVABLE!!! Thanks many times over!!!
