Jose Parica - Turning Stone Classic XI

Filipino pool legend Jose Parica has joined the list of confirmed players competing in the upcoming Turning Stone Classic XI event.., Jose placed 3rd at the Turning Stone Classic VIII event.., This Philippine Hall of Famer, dubbed "The Leader of the Philippine Invasion," which changed the face of the American 9-ball forever, is one of the greatest ever to play the game, especially for the cold hard cash.., Jose Parica is a former World Player of the Year and was the first player to shoot a perfect game of 1,000 points, which was a World Record in 9-Ball race to 11 format.., With a list of career accomplishments too numerous to mention, no one will argue that Jose Parica is still a world-class talent and a threat to win any event he enters.., For more information on this event contact Mike Zuglan at (518) 356-7163 or email mike@joss9balltour.com .

lol plus we knew archer was gonna win anyways and didn't want to watch him pick lint of the table for 2 hours and run out for 45 mins while the gouchos (sp) we running around carving meat onto other people's plates.

But seriously i have been to 3 TS events and they were awesome.

Ben
 
well, even tho "The Stone" is a cool place to work...It's still work..So going there to hang out or eat on my free time isn't all that exciting to me..
 
I see Jose Parica is on the list..It will be good to watch him play again..

I can also say there are some player, who you might not know by name...but..they play very well in the TS event every time..
 
I will be going down on friday the 15th and saturday the 16th if all goes well. I like going down early to see some of the players who I have played before play. Some of these players don't make it to the final two days. I'll be the guy getting the pool balls signed. Hope to see a good crowd.

But.....I'll be around ....armed with my camera..

I'm thinking I need more shots of people hanging out and watching the event


:-)
 
One week until the start of Turning Stone Classic XI. I'll be there on Friday and Saturday. Haven't decided if I will get a hotel or drive. Anyone know of any hotels at a good price worth staying over night. Any ideas would be great. Thanks, and see you there.
