Nope. On to Lincoln and then Fargo.

Damn, didn't realize you were in town until I read this just now. I was @ league with ChefJeff....

It's obvious that we need some sort of system to notify pool players in this area when events are happening. I wonder if AZ could set up something based on location that you fill out in your profile and sign up for text alerts on your phone when something is happening in your area of the world. That would help me out.

There is ZERO communication between the different league systems around here and I don't check AZ often enough to be in the loop. There wasn't even anything posted on dsmpoolplayers.com about this.

I agree!! I'm still not even sure why Bob was here.

He's doing fine at 80. He finished in the money in the 3-C tournament the week before in MPLS, and had a run of 8 in a little round-robin at the Masonic Hall in Dubuque while I was there.

Thanks. Bob has had the biggest influence on my pool life of any writer or player. I think of him often and wonder how he's doing. I miss his articles in BD. I give away his 'quote' books for Christmas presents...they're funny and make for pleasant reading.

I'm glad he's still playing. Does he have any pool books in the works?

Des Moines seemed to be on the way from Minneapolis to Fargo. Perhaps I got turned around.

My apologies, but I meant I wasn't sure if you were holding a clinic or something. As stated above, not very many people knew you were here, and would have love to meet you.
 
Can the man stop in and hit some balls and just be mellow? Maybe there's a reason it wasn't announced or blown up.
 
I hit some balls with him at Stix before he went up to Big Dogs. He mentioned he was just touring so I would assume just wanted to hit a couple of spots here in Des Moines before his next stop going west toward Fargo.

I don't think so. He is trying to get three of his books back in print including the Pool Stories book and maybe the trick shot book.

Haha I know right. I know some people get a lot of enjoyment helping people out and showing them things all the time. I just feel like he ducked in hit some balls, posted in the thread a couple times, and kept the road trip going. From what I heard though from a couple people that saw him he was dazzling.

I played saw Banking with the beard in real life yesterday, Z bank kick shots, lots of 2 and 3 railers, 2 rail kicks to remove balls. I feel like all hell today.
 
Anyone here purchasing the TAR package for Mike/SVB? Who all is playing in the tournaments this weekend at Big Dogs? Sounds like we have a great week of pool ahead of us!
 
Buying the TAR and will be playing 9 ball and one hole...prob will skip the 8-Ball though as its just not a game I heart.
