Its been awhile... (Sidebar it is very hard to type with a cat FORCEFULLY sitting on your lap)
Much has transpired since last I posted and I may one day go back and post about events (I wouldn't hold your breath, just saying) but for now onward.
A new pool hall opened up in Winnipeg recently "Crazy 8 Billiards and Lounge" I recently headed down to check it out. Now I'm glad a new pool hall has opened this is a good thing, not so happy that is on the other end of the city, so this place isn't going to become my new hall but hopefully it will thrive and flourish and other pool halls will open hopefully in my end of the city. So back to the new hall, it a nice place out by the airport and bus depot, lots of parking, and near to bus routes. Moving inside we have 4 - 3.5 x 7 coin ops and 8 - 4 x 8 Olhausen tables. A well stocked bar and Half Pints on tap! ALL FOUR count them FOUR main flavours on tap, mmm local beer. It was fairly quite when I was there but it was a Monday and about minus HOLY F**KING COLD!!!
Cold you say how cold is it? Well let me tell you, Winnipeg does have a bit of a reputation of being one really frosty place to live but when the news papers start saying that its colder then it is ON MARS!
Luckily come February I will be once again escaping this frozen rock for sunny LA and the 18th Jay Swanson Memorial 9 - ball Tournament. So as per usual I have about a month to whip my 9 - ball game into shape.
And now some Blue Rodeo from their new album to wrap things up for now
