PettyPoint Expo March 19th [Archive] - Billiards Digest Forums

The PettyPoint Expo is fast approaching. I would like to know who is going to make it as I am preparing some PettyPoint currency for the event. If any of you that are coming would like to e-mail me a picture of you, your cue or any related item, I'll try to incorporate it into some of the graphics.

Spiderman already has a poster made. Also, doing a more final list will give Leroy fair warning of how many pool nuts to expect and allow time for planning his necessary repair countermeasures.

From my side, I, along with Molasses Tony will be there. I have heard a few others (I think ceebee, spiderman, etc.) but just wanted to get a better idea of the group.

I will be domstrating the "Texas, miscue/double hit for position shot" that I have been seeing a lot of lately. Spiderman and I will do a "lag for first tomale" and Deewoman will be riding her horse at a safe distance (about 20 miles away). I have a new laser bank kit I may unveil there as well. I am thinking of making a "I got busted and broke at PettyPoint" T-shirt if all goes well.

 Both SPetty and Spiderman make chili! We fight for either one.

NBG, put chili on a couple of tamales, a little slaw on a hot sausage and add a few chips, you will never go back to NYC! Also beware, most of these young guys are single and worship you from afar!!!

Chris, never take your eyes off the tomales, they dissappear quite quickly now that SPetty has let the cat out of the bag. /ccboard/images/graemlins/confused.gif

That's me Chris, I love to cook and I've worked on my chili recipe for years. The best stuff is made with tomatoes that I grow and home-can. Maybe you can sample it sometime?

P.S. The schedule says I will not arrive empty handed..... Yabba Dabba Doo

I'm about 99% sure I'll be there... that's assuming Billie doesn't kill me getting things move into the new house. She's already dropped a range on my leg! As long as she keeps the damage below the neck, we'll be there.

My late New Year's resolution is to make it out to the Best Little Poolhouse in Texas before this year is over--even if it's for a long weekend! SPetty said it's ok to bring nAzareth with me. Texas will never be the same! LOL

Deeman,

Count me in too. I'll have to double check on a few things but i should be able to make the big Expo and the PettyPoint Expo. If not, there's always next year for Valley Forge. I'm checking on Shin's availability and may have to make a trip to the airport to pick him up. But we'll see how that goes. IF he can't make it i may have another guy that i can bring but he speaks little english. Nonetheless it will be a lot of fun.

"So, is that like a horse or somethin'?"

nAz speaks...

"I need to zip down to the deli for a Snapple. It's how far? 60 miles? Whatsa matta you people?"

I will be there with two friends. I also have a couple of new products to demo in hopes of getting some financial backing out of you. I have already sold out of the anti-deflection blinky rings.

UTAddb won't make it again! /ccboard/images/graemlins/frown.gif

poolturtle didn't answer the PM I sent him.

I've invited two others to help fill out the field, but haven't heard back from either of them yet.

We've also got some folks bringing some things like new racks and new books and stuff! I'm sure looking forward to it!

Deeman,

Billie (aka Mrs. Cane) hasn't dropped any appliance on me for over a week now, and promise not to between now and the 19th. She did, however, buy me a new compound mitre saw last night and took me to Lowes to look at crown molding... so, I'll be there, maybe minus a digit or two, but I'll be there!

Later,

You bet your boots I'd love to try some the next time we meet. Course, it may not be in Texas. lol

Hi Spiderman,

I remember now. Long ago I think I recall you entering some cookoff contests or something of that nature at a fair or something? I could be wrong as I don't have too much to work with up stairs. lol

You promise me another grandioso margarita? Oh hell, ain't nuthin' that could come between me and my coming besides a naked lady delivering a Fedex delivery, in which case I'd be 5 minutes late ;-)

I'm there at noon unless I get an earlier invite. Jim may have to work, hope not though. He has a ball when he get to come!!!sid

Hey Spidey,

I've got a pretty good Chili recipe myself(shameless brag /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif ). I won't tell all my secrets, but instead of using 'chop meat', I grind up some NY Strip steaks. I'd be willing to put my recipe to the test /ccboard/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Hey Spidey, when is the best time for those home grown tomatoes?

P.S. I know how to make authentic Texas chili, and I got a score of 110 (extra credit for bringing a bowl of chili to the teacher) on a chili research paper in college. So I'll win.

Yes, I got my first recipe from someone who was an experienced contestant, and took second the first time I cooked it. I've improved the recipe for about 10 years now, and think it's the best.

Of course, chili is very subjective, everyone doesn't like the same thing.

Is it required to actually make the chili oneself? Can't make the 19'th but possibly the spring great chili expo might fit the schedule. /ccboard/images/graemlins/grin.gif

You Texans really ought to try some New Mexico chili. There are three varitys; mild, warm, and native that come in either red or green. The warm is about all I can handle, not being a native and somewhat of a wimp. Don't think it has any tomatoes in it.

I didn't wanna get involved in the Chili/Tamale aspect but now i think i will. I have a recipe that was given to me by a good friend that i made a few adjustments to. It's got a little bit of a Mexican twist to it but man is it tasty.

I'll also go in on the tamales too. My friend has a great recipe and also said that she will teach me how to make dessert tamales. that's right, they're not just for lunch anymore.

And i'll bring beer to this one too!!
