New Years & Derby

Well, in just five short hours, I’ll be boarding a plane and heading to Minneapolis to spend New Years before driving to Derby with Mike. The plan is to play in some sort of New Year’s Eve scotch doubles tournament tomorrow night. I’ve been playing quite a bit of bar table 8 ball at home so I’m looking forward some live human interaction at the table.

If you’ll be at Derby, please make sure you come say “hi.” I’ll most likely be over at the Clarion Hotel & Convention Center (that’s where the Qlympics was held) for the Ohio Valley Regional Championships. That’s the BCA amateur event that’s going on simultaneously during the Derby pro events. I’ll be at the InsidePool booth pedaling magazine subscriptions and my book.

This is my first year attending this event and I’m super excited! Sounds like I picked a bad year to start though since I’m playing in the amateur event because I was told both events used to be held in the same building in the past and this year, they are in two separate hotels a few miles apart. Well, I hope I even get into the tournament because I was waiting to hear confirmation about my travel details and ended up turning in my entry a little late. Yikes!

Mike and I will be shooting some more Extreme Instruction podcasts from Derby and I may be helping with some interviews too. Make sure you tune in to InsidePoolMag.com for all the up-to-date tournament news, Extreme Pressbox and Extreme Instruction podcasts!

In the meantime, thank you for all your support and readership.

Have a Safe and Magnificent New Year!!!
Can’t wait for 2008!
