Update on the Des Moines pool scene

Big Dog said:
I don't know if you guys heard this or not, or read about this on the forum, but the Colorado Cue Club has closed their doors. The owner is a friend of mine from way back when I first started playing pool. He just stopped in here about a month ago and we played some pool and caught up on everything going on in our lives. Little did I know that he was about to close his doors. As one of colorado's biggest pool halls, it is kind of shocking to hear this news. The economy is killing a lot of pool halls all over the country. To keep the doors open he resorted back to driving truck to pay the bills, hoping he could keep the lights on. I really have the upmost respect for him, and what he tried to do in Denver. He started out owning a pool hall in Grand Forks, ND. When I first got addicted to the game, his place was where I really got hooked on playing tournaments. From what I hear, the pool community in Denver is shocked as well. He appeared to be doing fairly well, but apparently not. Sad day for pool in Denver! My best wishes go out to him, his family, and everyone that was associated with The Colorado Cue Club.

Just thought I would share a little about this. Let's hope that this economic state that we are in changes soon!!

I actually read online somewhere that it closed because of an altercation with a customer...named Mike Frost! Head this warning Jon Brown...you need to take Mike golfing or something...at least buy him dinner. The fate of your pool hall could be at stake!!:grin-devilish:

Just kidding! Things were getting too serious again. This crisis is certainly affecting everyone! Best of luck to your buddy!

The last thing in the world I am going to do is take him out to dinner or golfing! I definitely wouldn't let him take me out to dinner or golfing. He would be mad because I didn't pay for his tees that cost two cents a piece. I wonder if he goes to the golf course and expects a free membership because he backed the state champ from '92 against the pga instructor, and lost??

And who's he gonna stab anyway? Stupid comment!! That one makes the top five stupid comments made by him for sure.

If you had any friends you'd realize that was a joke, but of course you say more stupid shit when you have no clue what you are talking about. All you do is make yourself look dumb when you post the BS you post. You go from "Let's All Be Friends" to "I'm gonna talk shit". You just sound silly give it a rest please. This is why when you approach me to talk to me I blow you off. I know people like you and unless there is something in it for you, then nothing genuine comes out of your mouth. No I'm not really interested in stabbing anyone and no you wouldnt have to pay for my tees, in fact I probably would have bought yours.

I don't ever ask to be handed anything. I have taken people out to steak dinners here, strip clubs, gave them gas money, loaned a buddy some money to make rent among other things. Don't even pretend you know me. In fact run the business by accusing good customers they were in on stealing cue tips(JJ). Or make people work when they requested the day off a year in advance to play BCAs(BH's Team). Perhaps you could ban a minor again just cuz he beat you in a tourney(Daniel). I could go on and how would I even know this stuff if people didn't tell me. You think I'm the only one that issues with you? Half your staff doesn't care for you and I'd say at least 50% of the people who play there don't care for you. If there was another pool room to play at of equal caliber you'd realize that.

Don't talk trash to me because you don't know me or anything about me. You can't find a single person I used or shitted on. You have no dirt on me. All you can do is make a little hypothetical post that you think sounds cool. Really though everyone just kinda thinks its pathetic. I bet since I havent been in there in a while and people know I go to the tourneys at Stix you'll find a bogus way to ban me. Actually I don't think you would ban me just because of the drama you'd hope to get stirred with me around. You are officially off my radar this will be the last time I respond to something you say. From now on you're dead to me and I'm through with you. No, we won't laugh about this some day.

Welcome to IOWA! If there is a few things we know, it's how to feed the steers to get good steak! I have definately contributed my share and then some in that department.

My wife refuses to pick out steaks anymore. Maybe it's the fact I can pick High choice from Medium choice and know where to get the Prime stuff (90% is shipped overseas).

I must say, the seafood in the Carolina's was good, the steak... Not so much. :-)
 
Spimp made post #666 and I made post #777, I think the man upstairs is trying to send a message. I feel good.
 
I just wanna say I think it's amazing you guys woke up this early on a holiday. I need a good plan for the day.
