Anyone able to stream this???
I sent a message to the owner asking his permission. If the Giants are in the World Series, I'll be at the game, if not, I'll try to be in Houston. Besides that, I owe you one.:heh:heh
Fantastic!! Thanks Bill.
I agree, John. As much as I'd like to see Jimmy --and I hate that he's been ill-- if we ignore the requirement to allow him an exemption, there's no question that another type of exemption will follow, then other, etc.-- until there are no requirements at all. I like the idea of a super senior event-- aged 70 and up, no exceptions.Voting would be fine for this year (although I would personally oppose it) but would set a bad precedent for the future. I think most of us have in mind the hope that this could become an annual event.

I might add that we are in the planning/scheduling phase of this event when everyone is anticipating the good times. This is always the point where everyone is giddy, and apt to throw out suggestions that could be unrealistic. A similar frenzy happens every year for the couple of months prior to the DCC.
In my view this event will have no problem getting to 16 players; and it will probably wind up with 24, and a waiting list! The event is scheduled for late October. It's now only early July!
I vote for keeping calm and pragmatic, plan the thing right, then enjoy it!

I talked to "Hippy" Jimmie Reid yesterday and he said he'd like to come down and play in it, but he won't be 70 until next year. I told him that if this event is successful, we'd see him next year.
Dr. Bill,
Would Danny D. play? Any others you know who might be interested?
P.S. To all youse guys, Need 6 more players. Who knows some?
cool. i'd rather watch this than a "young gun" event.....
(KY - i wouldn't worry much about your giants, they are not catching the dodgers :heh, the nationals knocks either of them out anyway , and STL is still the class of the national league and will be the team in the world series )

I agree with Doc, it's early, if there is a shortfall of entrants come late September, then perhaps we ( this years players ) should huddle up and decide who we let into the event. Hopefully this won't be a concern, like Doc said, it should fill up. 70+ only, if you want to play, live longer!!!
Now we have 11I'm coming, vote yes for Jimmy and Harry and D.D.
On second thought, I'll probably just stay at Androd's house since I'm only bringing my wife, the three dogs and my iguana.
My wife said "regrettably you'll have to board your Iguana" Everyone else is more than welcome.
Rod.
It wouldn't be surprising to see a couple of old duffs from New Orleans or Baton Rouge make the trip. I bet that Harry Farrell (Jamie's dad) would get a big kick out of an event like the SSSS Open 1P. Maybe Joe Long could mention it to him.
~Doc
Heh, that'svery nice, but regretably, I don't really have an iguana.
Do you have a wife?
I've lost track of who's joshin' who.
Well thanks, Luke! Turns out I did have his Email address, so I sent him a note. He said he's not likely to go to Houston, since he made the trip up to "Make It Happen". His forum name is Cooldudela.....I'm pretty sure.Doc...Harry is a member here...he bought a couple of One Pocket t-shirts from me...I forgot what his forum name is, but I'll search for it if you want me to...
Made reservation and sent money in. I'll start to practice in first week of October unless I'm in Vegas.
