Update on the Des Moines pool scene

What is happening Saturday?

Saturday morning we are gonna play Jack and Jill tourney for APA. It's a good reason for me to not sleep until 2PM and not stay out til 4 AM on Friday.

We call that a win-win round these parts.
 
STIX in WH is having the APA scotch doubles tourney at 10 am. The winner automatically gets to go to Vegas - and APA pays for it! It's $50 to play and you have to be signed up and paid for BY Saturday. Randy said last night he would not be accepting entry fees the day of.

That night is the jack and Jill tourney which is open to anyone. $25 entry and Calcutta starts at 6pm - tourney to follow - no green fees and 100% payback. I believe the bar is adding money to this one too... Another reason why STIX is AWESOME.

So. If you LOVE pool and you SUPPORT POOL IN YOUR AREA - then Im sure I'll see EVERYONE there >:)

So sick, tammie and i have like 13 and 9 plays in. So we don't qualify to play the APA jack/jill. :( (you need 20) --- she corrected me here.

Funny to me since we have played since 1999, and im pretty sure that makes us established. + im a 7 ?

I think it's 10 in the last year or 2 years, not sure... but yeah you two are SO close!

I should have asked the BUS to be my partner... talk about FUN.
 
Downpayment sent on my new bad boy :)...time to fine tune the inlay and ring details. Happy Friday all...
 
Chris Byrne, and it will be done and sent to me most likely right after the Valley Forge in late March, so not too long. Works out good anyway with how my hand is recovering.

Only reason getting it that quick is because I saw it online, he had the points done. His normal lead time is about 16-20 months.
 
sweet. you got lucky! My Omen should be arriving over at Richardsons place sometime in the next couple days. It's sexy and I'm excited. The Stranger finally wear off? how's the hand feeling
 
About 1230 wednesday the stranger woke up and extreme pain came with it. Pain level is a ton less now so the healing is going good. The hand cast comes off Wed and then they will give me splints to wear. He thought it would be about 6 weeks before the pins came out. Congrats on the Omen, I have seem some of his cues on here and they are nice. I am excited on my cue, just trying to fine tune the ivory inlays and ring design. It is four veneered and four snakewood bridged points into amboyna, with four mitered veneered snakewood boxes in an amboyna buttsleeve. Black lizard wrap most likely, ivory joint and buttcap.
 
sounds awesome, you will have to post pics once you get it. Ill be home for a couple weeks in march, but will likely leave before VF so won't get the luxury of seeing yours in person for quite some time... BTW, you should change your Sig from looking to on order.
