Hello. Im a freshman in college and I have a fun paper to write. Its a writing class paper that is in a sociological context. We must write about a group of people we consider as a sub culture. Ive decided to write about the billiard world. I hope to interview a couple pros and a couple jos. Im not writing a ten page paper but I plan to say alot towards the people and how they conduct themselves and how pool has affected that nature in them. I'm going with the good side (witch is the majority of the pool world) and reflect on how these groups of people work so hard at something and have so much fun doing it. So I hope to have a couple volunteers I could possibly interveiw and if anyone would like to add a few words to the thread feel free. My point is to give a large summery from alot of points of veiw. So any and all is appreciated. The Overall Question is how has pool affected your life and how you conduct yourself everyday? Philosophically in a sense. For the volunteers. I need 2 pros willing to answer about ten questions only. and same to the jos. I need an APA SL 3 And 5. Ill post my paper on here for all to see when Im finished and post the interview Questions in this thread. I have nothing to offer for doing this but the chance for everyone to criticize the final product. Can be Male or Female of course, for either group. Hopefully This works out. I swear the interveiw will not be a chore. Thanks to all in advance. Thought it might be cool to use azb as a reference in a school paper.

Due Tuesday September 20

I highly advise you to go find Frank Zummo in Eastlake, Ohio. Not sure what part of Ohio where you are in....I am just pointing you in the direction that I know.

If you are in NE Ohio go to Franks Place in Eastlake and speak with Frank and Tulio. I guarantee that you will enjoy every single minute.

thanks alot guys. I live close to Richard Harris I might approach him about an interview. I played at his room for awhile. He may. I live in the same town he started turning wood in. Met a guy who claimed to have taught Richard to turn wood. Hopefully everything works out though. thanks for helping it move along.

I would love to offer a little assistance, and here it is:

Spelling, punctuation, and grammar are your friends. If you write your paper in the same fashion you've written this post I'd advise you to brace yourself for failure.

Good luck,

Scott
 
I'm a professional pocket billiard instructor and entertainer. I would be happy to be 'interviewed' for your paper. PM me your phone number, the best time to reach you, and I'll give you a call...:D

I am a huge bert kinister fan. I think he would love this. go to his website @www.bertkinister.com and give him a call. He is an awesome guy!!! thats my 2 cents
 
Since this is for a "writing class", your first lesson is to learn from the highlighted errors and correct them:

cool. thanks sir. I was casually typing, not paying to much attention to this but thanks for pointing it out. Im aware.
 
If you can pickup a cheap copy, the book "Hustlers, Beats, and Others" by Ned Polsky would be a good resource for your paper.

I'll make a strong second recommendation on that book. You should be able to borrow a copy from your university library, or at least borrow a copy via inter-library loan. You can also get a copy fairly cheaply from Amazon:

Right here on AzB we have Jay Helfert, whose book Pool Wars reads as though he's talking directly to you. Jay's a good combination of road player and storyteller.

I can talk Johnathan "Hennessee" Pinegar into doing an interview for you for one of your pros. You can give him a call at the pool room Lucky Break at (931) 954-5400. Tonight shouldn't be too busy, so give him a call around 8 or 9 pm Central.
