LOS ANGELES - Hollywood Billiards

After the past few days in Vegas I indeed needed some kind of time-out. Therefore I took a long sleep last night and didn't plan anything for today.
But before I could fell asleep last night I made a very cool experience. The guys from Pool-Stage made it possible to tune me in the State Championships of Baden-Württemberg's live stream to do commentary together with nobody else than Ralph Eckert. It took them maybe 45 minutes to have it all set up and having a connection via Skype directly to "Die Drei - Billard,Dart and more..." in Sindelfingen/Germany. Thankyou guys, David, Stephan and Michael for this very nice intermezzo!

Today, as said, I took it slowly. I enjoyed Hollywood Billiard's cuisine, played some pool and read in a book that one of my postseason's teammates recommended - Tiziano Terzani's "Das Ende ist mein Anfang" (the end is my commencement).

Later in the evening, around midnight, Oscar and Ernesto Dominguez showed up to renew the cloth for the upcoming Seminole Pro Tour stop next weekend. While Ernesto already occupied with the Gold Crowns - thank God there aren't any Diamonds this time - Oscar and me played some cheap practise sets. And this time, after losing two sets in Vegas, I at least could get out even. As at Pool Sharks las week it was a pleasure to play him. Oscar and also his father seem to be different than most American pool players - decenct guys which are not show-offs and don't need to shark thier opponents during the game. Thank you very much for another fair game!
