Just wanted to drop a line and thank all of you who made it out to our little show this year :)

Thanks to all of you who are vendors, players, fans and spectators; without all of you this show could not be the massive, enjoyable event that it is!

I just got back home to NC from my last 10 days or so in Valley Forge (OK, I spent last night in Atlantic City, but escaped this morning). The last several weeks have been hectic, and although I have read through some of the posts regarding the show, I have not had time or energy to reply.

That said, over the next few days I will try to address some issues on the forum that I feel need to be addressed. Since I just got back, I also have quite a bit of client work to tend to, so bear with me (I operate my own small design agency here in Wilmington, NC). Luckily my clients are patient with me during Feb and March because they know about the Expo :embarrassed2:

If you have any questions you would like addressed, please feel free to post here as well. As soon as I can I will get to them, and I will consult with my father when needed.

Again, thanks so much to all of you that have come to, and enjoy, the show. It takes a tremendous amount of work and effort to produce, but knowing that the players have a good time, the vendors have a successful weekend, and the fans enjoy themselves makes it all worth it. My father and I thank all of you for being a part of it.

And of course, an extra thanks to all of our 50+ staff members - mostly family and close friends - who take time off from their regular jobs to come and work long hours for several days to make this event possible! Each and every person at the Expo plays a unique and important role. Having all of you there helps things progress smoothly.

Thanks again, and hope to see you all again next year!
 
Thank you for putting together the best pool event of the year! It's a lot of work I'm sure but we all appreciate it!
 
Super Billiards Expo is a great event, and I look forward to coming back next year.

At 3 AM in the morning, all the vending machines are empty. Maybe the concessionaire could restock before they close down for the night. One of the machines had an out of order sign, so I see this as lost revenue on their part. If SBE was winding down at 3AM, its a different story. As you can see from this picture of the pit, there were still lots of people and activity, and at 6AM there were alot of people for SBE staff to kick out, so the cleaning crew could come in.

Hi Allen,

Thanks for another great experience. For the most part, I had a fun time. Had one problem. Directed my comments to your Dad via US Mail.

Want to offer some constructive criticism. Left home early Wednesday morning so I could get some practice in before the warm-ups began. Got to the convention center about 3 PM. Went to go practice. Was informed by the "gate" personnel no one was to be admitted till 6 PM when registration opened. Nowhere on the website or post card sent to me does it state when the tables open. My guess is I'm not the only one who rushed to get there. A simple note on the website would clear this up. Of course my friend and me went over to the Radisson bar. By the time I got back, my head was spinning:embarrassed2:! Oops.

Other than that, it was a great event. Always more fun when I bring more money home than I left with. Still catching up on my sleep though. Hope to see you in Vegas at the BCAPL's.

Thanks for all your hard work putting this event together. This was my second time attending and I had even more fun than last year.
