I go to watch the One Pocket to pick up shots and moves from the greats.
It's nice to see old friends and bs about the old days too.

I'm only going to be there the 28th and 29th. Just wanting to watch, check out the cue dealers, and maybe sweat a few matches on the rail... Hope to meet a few of you while there!! I hear it's a great time!! :thumbup:
Mostly to bullshit with other old farts like me.:smile:
Its been a while, this thread needs a song.
[Sing to Paradise City, Guns N Roses]
Take me down to Derby City
Where the money is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please stake me now
Take me down to Derby City
Where the table felt is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please stake me now
Just a 8-ball player living in the street
I'm a hard case that's tough to beat
I'm your charity case
So buy me something to eat
I'll pay you at another time
Take the match to the end of the line
Rags to Rifleman or Buddy Hall so they say
You got to - keep pushing for the fortune and fame you know
It's all a gamble when it's just a ring game
You treat it like a capital crime
Everybody's doing their time
Take me down to Derby city
Where the money is green
And the girls are pretty
Oh, won't you please stake me now
Take me down to Derby city
Where the table felt is green
And the girls are pretty
Stake me now

Why Not
My Wife doesn't even play pool, and she likes to go! I've seen some real good matches in years past. This will be my 6th or 7th year going. We've had a great time every year. I didn't think last year would be that great with the big money tourney in Germany taking top players the week of nineball, but I got to see some up and coming players who might not have made it that deep in the field if all the top guns were playing. I watch matches for a while, then go play a little craps while the wife plays some slots. Talk to the cue makers. Go talk with Joe B about repairs. Watch Lomax put on a wrap or two. I always pick up some thing new and smart to help me with my repairs back home with Joe and Lomax. Go upstairs and see what the TAR guys are up to. Watch Scooter drum up action. Damn intertaining! Watch the 14.1 challenge. I would like to spend some time in the AZ room this year. Never got to do that. Get some more pics with my favorite players, and wand makers. etc, etc, etc

If I was going it would be too observe, and learn from some of the BEST players in the world.

I heard that TAR was not going this year.I wonder if they will have the
action room,there was plenty of gambling long before they started filming.
I hope the action report is there,because they just kinda seem like part
of the family.Its real nice to go for 3or 4 days,be able to come home and
watch the rest on-line.

I go to lose money and drink beer.
You and I may have a match made in heaven.

might be my new favorite song lol
Yeah, that about covers it.
It's the biggest reunion of the year in the pool world, bar none! And the action is the best all year too. There is no close second. Plus we get to see some amazing Bank Pool, which only happens there! It's non stop day and night for nine days! Like JC used to be. There is actually too much going on to take it all in.
