Valley Forge (where else?)

[9_Ball_King]

Been here about 8 hours now. Checked in, performed detailed maintenance on my cues (about time), got settled in and unpacked, played a lttle for about 8 games or so on a $5 challenge table (I knew most of the other players--we all play close to the same)-->I think I dropped ten bucks (damn 9-ball on the break one time against me). Drank a couple of New Castle ales, feuled up at Texas Roadhouse, oh yeah, watched Pitt advance to qtr finals of Big East Tourney. Anyway while I'm screwin around on the $5 challenge table (won three in a row out of my 7 or 8 games and hadn't hit a ball since last Wed...I'll take it)....who's playin' behind me? I thought he looked familiar...Oh It's the guy that won last year's Open Amateur--Mike Dechaine (strong!).....I hope I get'em early. Anyway just a preliminary half-ass update on what's happenin'. Man I love this place. I don't play in Amateur Open 9-Ball until 1:00 p.m tomorrow (keep the New Castle Ales a'comin') . Man I love this annual pool trip......I'm goin' back down to hit some balls......Pitt plays Lousville tomorrow--->whaddaya think? Pitt about a 6 point dog?

Good Luck out there !

Keep the updates coming - it'd be good to here a few viewpoints on the procedings.

Good stuff Bob, I live in King of Prussia and I am about to go pick up my kid, drop him off and book over to the venue (1 mile from my house). I will play you some 5 dollar games if you haven't had too many of those ales! Good luck in the open Bob, I can't play because my work is too busy to take a day off ( I run a landscape supply wholesale yard--everything is coming in right now)
