Count me in then.  Is there any way you could bring a variable Topre board for me to try?

I will have a topre but unfortunately for you it is uniform 55g. Anyone else got one?

I unfortunately sold all my variable topres.  I never liked any of the 3 I've owned previously.

Dan,
I think that I'll be there. I don't have a cue, so I may not shoot much pool. I will be bringing my dad, since I'm younger than everyone. Nonetheless, I'll be there. I will bring my Model M 122, my Leopold with Clears, and my Zenith Data Systems with Green ALPS, as well as my AIKON project and my bucket of green ALPS switches. I believe that's all that I have, but I'll check at home to be sure. C'ya there! :D

You don't need to bring a cue, just some of these other guys seem a little more serious =)  The pool hall has plenty of public use cues, so no worries there.

How young are you?  You only need to be over 18 (and honestly that's a pretty liberal rule) to go.  This place doesn't serve alcohol or anything, however, it is BYOB if anyone planned on it.

Someone needs to organize an east coast event.  I already told ekw808 I'd be there if one was being held in NYC =)

If an event was to be held in Boston I would gladly go, but I'm not sure about NYC... I would have to take a train into NYC if the event was there; no way in hell I would drive into the city.
