Soooo, apparently there’s some big shindig going down in Las Vegas.  Once again, the billiards industry will converge on The Riv for the BCAPL championships.  But that’s not all, folks.  It seems there’s also going to be a little pro event in the form of the 2010 US Open 10 Ball Championship.

Normally I don’t bother much with events for the boys, but I do believe I’ll be watching this one.  See, in addition to pretty much every name guy, there are also quite a few of the ladies participating.  Just scanning the list, I see Sarah Rousey, Jennifer Barretta, Kelly Fisher, Liz Ford, Yu Ram Cha, Jasmin Oushcan, Karen Corr and a bunch of others.  Plus, it seems my snarky little heroine Ms. OMGWTF will be posting a couple grrr to battle Borana Andoni (I’ll get into the gambling thing another time) and the lovely ladies of team KOD jumping in the deep end of the pool for the women’s team masters event.

Now me being the ginormous APA whore that I am, I don’t spend a lot of time focusing on the BCA league.  Its just not my bag.  Too many good players and they seem to take the game way serious, whereas I just like to drink, hang out and bang balls.  Oh and for all of you who just rolled your eyes at the mention of APA, need I remind you that I can’t stop, draw, follow or kick for shit, let alone actually run a rack, so just leave my chump ass alone.

So, even though I’d surely be a stranger in a strange land, I might hop my hooptie, hit I-15 and check it out.  I do love me some Vegas and worst case scenario is I can chill in Skankopolis with my boys and watch a bunch of drunk teenagers get inked up over at Hart and Huntington (because there’s no way I’m staying anywhere near the festering  pustule that is The Riviera).  Oh, and did I mention that De La Soul is slated to be jammin’ on the 21st?  Looks like I don’t really have a choice.  Good thing I’ve been saving so much money living in mom’s basement.

Since I’m probably not posting tomorrow, howsabout we kick a little old school in honor of everyone’s favorite desert oasis. Damn that cat could sing.
