Q-Action Moneypool tournament

Hi ya...

It's monday!!!
Time for the weekly tournament again!
Boring! Hahaha can't say that too loud... But it's the same every week...
Yesterday evening i came back from Antwerp.. It was fun...
Even though that the Coca Cola Classics was cancelled...
24 people turned up... First price 240 euro...

BBQ at Mario and Elly was fun! Thanks to Mario, Elly, Wim, Serge and Bart....
And I promised Elly to mention the great Elly Special! Tasted great...

Don't know what to write anymore...
Next time when i've got more time I'll promise to tell you how I ended up here in Thurston...

Owh....

Sons of Thurston won the National Championship yesterday in Enschede in the First Class....
Congrats!

Antwerp

Leaving for Antwerp tomorrow...
Coca Cola classics are postponed due to too little announcements for this tournament on this date...
The owner decided to postpone it yesterday...
Too bad that a lot people still wanted to enter the tournament yesterday and today...

People just to warn you if you want to set up a tournament yourself...
First of all, check the date!!! Depends on what kind of crowd you'd want to attract: National calendar or the international one....
Second: start the preparations on time... If it's just a tournament for club-members it's ok to start it 1 or 2 weeks before... If it's for the district: a month is better or more... National 2 months? More is always better! International: depends on how big.... Rotterdam Open I started with planning and all those things 10 months before... Even worse now: I have already started with planning the Rotterdam Open for 2007, that will probably take place in November....

Sorry I'm a bit frustrated by the way everything went...

But anyways...
Leaving for Antwerp tomorrow... Mario E. is celebrating his birthday with a BBQ... Asked him what i should bring except me offcourse! He told me to bring flowers.... ;) Hahaha that's a inside joke... He and Wim H. promised me in February already to bring me flowers sometime... And till now I haven't received them yet!!! I bought something... Can't tell it now, he might read it before he gets it!!!
Staying over and on sunday we're going to do a little moneypool-tournament for the people that still want to come...

See you again sunday evening or monday!


Love

Yeah...


OK....

I'm here...
Don't really have an excuse for not writing anything the past week...

Have been busy...

Let me see....
What do I still have to tell you about?
A lot!!!

Lets do it quick then...

Ardennencup, Erpeldange, Luxembourg...
Four days! Almost 5 hours drive...
A lot of drunk people!
Had a lot of fun with "de koekkenbakkers" (misspelled but that's the way they spelled it there!) and "de smeerlapjes"... Can't translate it... If somebody knows the correct way you can put it down in a comment! We we're staying in some kind of youth hostel, very clean! Great showers, if you had discovered the right one! (Like me and Kynthia)
Thanks to Aniel, Metin, Kynthia, Eric, Amar and Wim for making it a great weekend!

Thurston Night Event...
12 at night we started, 61 people came to the tournament... dko till the last 8. 1st price was 500 euro. Most people played for the fun and some came for the money... It was a long night! Had to start work at 9.30 in the morning at the beachthing i work at... After that the Belgium players (2 + girlfriend) came to pick me up... We had some drinks at my work, then went for dinner (Sorry guys, should have told you that the steak is the best thing to get there). Then for another drink we went to Dino's. And off to the club...
Nothing special really... Just another tournament...
The only real difference was when the tournament ended that when i walked out of the club that the sun was shining!!!

World Pool Masters
Friday Night we went with four people, me, Anthony, Emerson and Fung.... (Got free tickets! Sometimes my connections do work) The Trickshots Event.... Saw a lot of amazinf shots... Loved the Bruce Lee thing of Alex Pagulayan... Was set up by Ralf Souquet's girlfriend! He needed some volunteers... And his lovely girlfriend Illy shouted out my name... And off course, i had the luck to go up there...
First he gave me a bankshot i had to make that was impossible but he could do it but with a golfball... Next thing i had to do... Sit on the table... But i had a skirt on!!! But that didn't matter.. Then i had to lie on the table... Hold a chalk between my teeth and a ball on top of that... He'd jump a ball against that ball and pot another ball... Didn't see anything but for the people that want to see it... Watch out for the DVD...
For now a photograph just to prove that it was me there.... (all the above my post...)

That's about it...
Have to work this week...
This weekend the Coca Cola Classics are coming up... They asked me to be their tournament leader... I'm honoured! Thanks for the chance!
There are still spots available so if you want to sign in? Let me know!
