Valley Forge recap

Another year, another SBE. And what fun it was. I travelled 4 hours in a car in a treacherous snow and ice storm (should've been 2 hours tops!) only to spend half the weekend matching up with a guy from my local room. He gave me a monster spot that I just couldn't refuse for some decent money. On a barbox, there was no way I could lose.


...but I did. Moral of the story?? I suck. And not just at pool, at life. :( But I digress. :D

It was a fun two and half days (I went down on Friday). I got to meet up with a bunch of you and had a great time.

Eric. (and wife Susie) were a lot of fun. Icon of Sin (Heath) was awesome. Great meeting you too. Brooklyn Jay and Linda (Pool Monkey) were there as well, and while I had met them before, it was good to see them there as well.

Got to see Classiccues and shot the shit with him for a while. Hadn't seen him since last year. Joe's a great guy. Saw Cornerman (Fred) for a moment or two. Met Sweet Marissa. And although this may not be the appropriate forum, I got to see JimBo again. And I don't care what others may say. Great guy and funny as hell!

Bogey5431 (Chris), FAST_N_LOOSE (Marcus), Spanky (Mike Badzik), Mike Webb, and a few others: it was great to meet you all. And I have a newfound hatred for all of you. Ya see, when you only know someone as a screen-name, you create your own image of that person in your head. I had pictured all of you to be much older. Then, I met you in person and realized that all of you guys are around the same age as me. And yet, you have more beautiful cues than I have hairs on my head (though these days, that ain't sayin' much)!

All in all, it was a great time. Met a bunch of great people and played some of the worst pool of my life!!! I lost money and never had more fun doing it. See you all next year.
 
Thanks for the recap Pharaoh! It will be a few years until I can attend and meet everyone, but I look forward to it. I plan to bring my son (and whatever baby is currently cooking in my wife's oven) when they are old enough to enjoy it. Was there an age restriction for viewing the tournament?

Plus: did you see any nice Black Boars while you were there?
 
Bill-
I didn't see any nice Black Boars while I was there mainly because I wasn't looking for any. I'm sure there were several but seeing as how I'm not a Black Boar lover, I didn't take notice too much.

I saw a few GORGEOUS Motteys, some excellent looking Manzinos, and picture of two Searings that Ken (HighEndCue) is having delivered to him. THose will blow your mind!!!
