Just can’t wait to get on the road again. I’d really like to be on the road with Willie Nelson, but getting to hang out with Samm and her new husband Marc isn’t too bad either.
My boys over at PoolDawg won’t be going to the Super Billiards Expo next week, but that isn’t stopping me. Once again, Samm Diep will be running around with me in tow, taking pictures, handing out lots of goodies (stickers! match books!) and spreading the love.
If this year is anything like last year, I’m guessing I’ll be posing for hundreds of pictures. Samm will be giving out gift certificates to the people who take the best pictures with me, so be sure to bring your best smiles. What I’m really looking forward to though is seeing one of my favorite couples – Tony Robles and Gail Glazebrook. They always take the best pictures with me!
I don’t know what you all will be doing this weekend, but I’ll be heading down to the Wynkoop to hang out with some of my pool playing pals. See, this weekend, Denver’s own Wynkoop bar and grill will be hosting the WPBA National Amateurs tournament. I’m not sure who all will be there, but I know that three of my favorite ladies will be in attendance – Samm Diep, Gail Glazebrook and Borana Andoni (pictured here with Olga Gashkova).
I get to see Samm all the time, but I pretty much never get to hang out with Gail and Borana since they live over in New York. Plus, the Wynkoop is owned by our current mayor and Governor Elect, so maybe I’ll get to rub elbows with some local celebs too.
If you live in the mile high city, be sure to stop by and watch some awesome amateur pool!
After sorting through literally hundreds of photos, Samm and I were able to select the Top 5 (each getting a $25 gift certificate):
Frank and Kevin Mealey of Willow Grove, PA "I knew that BBQ sauce cologne was a bad idea."
Bobby Negron of East Brunswick "Ride the nine, not the dawg."
Kevin Miller of Plattsville, PA #009, "Rock out with your chalk out!"
Heather Kurtz of Bethpage, NY "Sometimes Frank Gets A Little Too Affectionate"
Bryant Mitchell of South Amboy, NJ #974, "Bryant tries to find Frank a new girlfriend."
And in the special celebrity sighting bracket, the winner is the hardest working couple in the billiards industry, Gail Glazebrook and Tony Robles!
Frank, Tony Robles and Gail Glazebrook
Thanks to everyone who took pictures. Who knows, we might have to do this again in May for BCA Nationals. Oh and for the winners, check your email because each of you should have $25 in dawg dough.
