Another great Friday last week.

I don't recall anybody running the table so we ended up having a good turnover and some really exciting games. Mike Sames and Brian Hendricks had some good games. Dan Martin and I (Casey) teamed up a couple of times and played well. TJ (Xocoyotzin Telles) and Adrienne had some good games and showed us all how they took first in Mesa the Monday before. Billy Noland and John (JB) Scully had some good moves. While Billy and Brian were playing chess Dan Rayment and Mark D were playing and winning. Mark has that insidious front-toe-reverse-either-way move on the 3 that just drives me crazy!

I got to talk with one onlooker who told me he had experience but was reluctant to put any quarters up. Perhaps he, and his friends, will be inspired to come down on an off night and practice. I talked up the league.

We had a couple of moments where we didn't quite know who was up next, but I thought that was great. I remember not too long ago that finding any foos action in Phoenix was impossible. It's such a good game! And it's great time at the Dub on Friday nights for pickup games.

Hey, I might not be there tomorrow night. I have an MRI scheduled so I'm taking one of those relaxation pills. I may be asleep by 6:00 (No JB I am not usually asleep during Friday nights).

Later

Last Friday was a great time. I got there at about 6:30 (like normal) and Mark D was there. We warmed up until Billy and Adrienne showed up. Adrienne and I teamed up. When I saw she was bricking Billy, I knew we be winnin'! Then when Kenny showed up Adrienne played goal for him and bricked ME! So I had to play like mad to get around/through/behind her. Then she pulled out this pullkick/sidechip from the two and cleared the ball like 90%! That girl is learning fast. It wasn't until John JB Scully showed up that anybody made any headway against her.

Dan had that smooth as silk, quick-as-a-blink rollover going good. Kenny started shooting his push roller into a dead hole even when we were all expecting it. A couple of times I had both rods pulled dead and he STILL went around me. I just don't think that's fair!

Anyhow, come on down this Friday. It'll be fun.

Live music after about 9

Crowd, with lots of unattended ladies of all ages, mainly 20's 30's.

CU there

Last week Dan R and Scotty Y held the table for over an hour. I tried but failed to know them off. Played with Kenny, then Tom Husband, then Brad Chamberlain but just couldn't do it. It took Cowboy, having torn himself away from a table full of girls, to come over and win the table. It was late so I had to leave. I can only assume that he held the table the rest of the night.

Come down tomorrow. It's a blast!

Remember pickup games at the local bar?

Each Friday for the last 2 months we've been hanging out, playing, talking and having fun.

Great place, live music, lively people: it's been great!

Fridays at the Dub, I'm there, come on out!

Last night was fun! Mark D and I held the table for almost 2 hours, then Doug Steele showed up, oh well. Doug and Kenny are a tough team anytime.

Anyway, packed house all night long, live music started at 9:30, lots of young people later on.

Adrian learned some new moves in 'Vegas.

You should come join us!

Casey.
