Well, it's just about time to rack em at the DCC! It always seemed that the excitement and anticipation during the build up to the event was the best time. When the event actually starts, it shifts into a different sentiment.

I'd just like to wish all you lads from 1p.o the best of luck, and that y'all make it into the money rounds. Having been there I know that it's difficult to keep track of the standings due to the single elimination buy-back formatting: no real leader board. But we'll be able to tell from the scheduling who's advancing, and who ran out of luck.

The banks event seems to offer the best advantage, since many of the guys buy in simply to get a pass for the week. So it's possible to draw a mediocre player. In the one-pocket, it seems like EVERYONE can play well!!

If any of you have online access, I hope you'll send us a little report as you have time.

GOOD LUCK!!!

~Doc

I echo Doc's request. Please post updates and photos for us unfortunate souls back home. We want to live vicariously through you attendees.

Have fun to all who are going. May all your balls fall in that one pocket that is yours. :D

Yep we are all excited. I am only going for the one pocket event as my running buddy is out of action and the room rent is a tad pricey for all of it. So see you all soon……

I will be utterly useless and not getting anything done for the rest of the week - my mind is already there. Hoping to get out of work a little early on Friday, hit balls for a few hours and head that direction Saturday morning.....

Absolutely can't wait. Getting there Thursday evening to get some practice in. I went 0-2 in 2013, looking for redemption. And a nice draw would be nice for a change, lol.

I'm picturing the opening paragraph of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas."

So sorry you won't be with us degenerates this year. I am leaving EARLY Saturday morning and hope everyone arrives safe.

See all of you there.

Don't tell me that you're riding your Harley up there! Taking DeeWoman with you? Don't have too much fun. I don't want to read about y'all in the papers...:D

Latest weather update Rain Monday, Tuesday, headed into snow and more rain. Who cares what is going on outside anyway. Is the cafeteria down the road still open?

Doc, Ha! I'm the one who likes too much warmth and comfort, DeeWoman would leave on her Ninja right now. However, she decided to go to work to keep me in cues and tournament money! Gotta love it when a plan comes together. Ace and I need to come see you when the Summer type days get back here.

We will miss your company and friendship this time around.

I talked to Enzo yesterday, and he is again offering rides between the airport and DCC over the course of the event -- he was already there shuttling yesterday. He is a long time pool player from Detroit who spent a lot of time in the famous "Rack" during the Cornbread Red years, so he has a ton of stories which make the ride entertaining. 313-268-4203

Agreed. Enzo is great.
