OK, who is going to the US Open to represent AZ Billiards? One or two. It is time to act. Lets put it together guys. I will be there, I will contribute $50 and a $535 cue to raffel off for funds. 2000 Espititu R-22. Never hit a ball.
I will post picture when I figure out my password. Ya see, I deleted all my temp internet files at home and can no longer get on from home. Bummer man.

I would really like to see this happen too, Don. I’m willing to plop my money on the table to pay off the winner. I just don’t know who the winner is and which table we are playing on.

I think this is a great opportunity to make this happen NOW. And if it doesn’t for some reason, then nobody will take it seriously the next time it comes up.

Right now, I’m in favor of sending one player. I think it’s more realistic.

i'll be there i've miss it the last two years and come hell or hi water i not going to miss this one .i need a nother cue case signed ..and the action is sick up there.. :p
 
I am with ya Purdy
I dont have a cue but I will throw in for one or two guys. I think
one should be the start and then try for the second guy. We need
to make sure the two people dont mind being together. I think
it would be pretty easy to get a billiard publication or two plus
maybe even the BCN to do a story on it while at the OPEN. It would
give AZ a little boost and exposure. I am not sure if Mike has time enough
to do anything with this right now. I will send my money to
someone else if they want to use their account or create another
one. If we do this now or soon then the person might have time to
get some airfare donated or discounted. Maybe one of the hotels nearby would cut us a break or big up the tab. Might want a little exposure
for themselves in return.

I'm in, Ive never been so anxious to send money to someone I don't know before. This is a really cool idea guys. I'll just keep watching and contribute when the time comes.

cheers
 
Point Man

OK, I will be the point man. I can book a room for two, I can keep track and post all donations. If need be, I can book the air fare. I think Bluemarlin is looking into that. I don't like to use paypal. I don't want to give them any money. I have sold a lot of you cues and you know I am a straight up guy. No funny business. All monies will be posted as they come in. I will also post the tournament cue for raffel tomorrow. I am also gonna book a room for Blud and myself. We is going to sell a few cues. You can PM me or email me at
dpurdman1@aol.com with any suggestions or coments. Thank you all.

Well, I'm unemployed, with heavy medical bills at present, but I'm sparked up about this show of generosity. I want to send a money order, so please post a snail mail address or post office box AND don't tell my grandkids... ok ? OK ?
I'd really like to see enough people get involved to send Jimmy and John, even though I've never met or heard of either one of them..

I just got back in town and am catching up...has AZ made a commitment to this yet? I'm still in...
rayjay
 
Count me in also! When I return from Florida, I'll drop you a check Purdman!

Jimmy M. gets my vote!

Thanks,
Zim
 
Hey Now

Rayjay, we are working on it now. Here is the up date. We got about 25 people who will commit, we got a cue to sell, we got bluemarlin looking to find some flights, and Jimmy M. has his entry fee and maybe more. AZ Mike might give us a place to put updates. That's what we got going now.

I thought that the Poll showed 50 people that were commited to sending $25 for an AzB sponsored player to attend the U.S. Open. What happened ?

Thanks for the information, Mr. Purdy. Will send a check today. Nice cue!

Sorry I haven't been on for a few days but I'm having problems with my server. I'll be back up next Wednesday. I see that this just might happen and if there is only enough for 1 player to go then I've already expressed my feelings on that. Send Jimmy. But..............if there's enough for 2, I'd be glad to go. And I think I can put up with Jimmy for a week in a room, as long as he doesn't snore. LOL.
 
Beating around the bush...

If Jimmy M. and Rude Dog are so sure they are the two who will be voted to go to the Open, then why is everyone else beating around the bush and heehawing. It is nearly unanimous that everyone wants to send these two, so why even ask "who should we send?" Just cut to the chase, collect the money, have your little straw poll about who you want to go (doesn't matter, we know who's getting the votes), and send'em. Too much BS'ing...

Doug, maybe to keep the "selection" or "invitation" process out in the open (just a personal "LOL"), somebode could initiate a thread with a poll attached listing qualified player forum members.

So far, Jimmy M. and Rude Dog have been the only players expressing an interest to go, but since the Open isn't until September 12th, maybe a poll would be the democratic way to go.

You had expressed a mild interest in an earlier thread about going, but I had thought you changed your mind. If you are still interested, then I think your name should be included with the rest. Any forum members interested should speak up now, and if Jimmy M. and Rude Dog are the only players truly interested, then it should be a done deal.
