I drove to the Mosoni Cup that was held in Vegas, my first time to EVER drive there, 
and I have been going to Vegas for 1-3 times a year for about 20 years, 
lol.  I'll be sharing pics soon of my travel there because I stopped at a lot of cool places I had never seen before.  :)
On
 one night, my b/f and I went to a local $5 tourney in Arizona.  I wanted to play 
in it to see how I would do, to test out how I would 
play in front of strangers.  Normally my heart beats right out of my chest and I think too much in these type of situations.
However,
 although all eyes were on the out-of-towners, I still played really 
freaking sporty!  Every guy I played, people would tell me, "he's plays 
good" and then I would win 2-0, lol.  I was really coming with great 
banks and shots!
I even impressed myself, lol.
The tourney was on open bar tables at a bowling alley, and the players were really nice!
I
 ended up playing my b/f in the hotseat.  I broke and ran the first set 
and was about to win the 2nd, but instead of playing conservative, I got
 too cocky and wanted to show off a little, and instead of taking a long
 shot on the 8 ball, I tried to be fancy and move around the table 
and missed.  He got out and broke and ran the last game to win.  Ugh!  
One shot cost me a seat in the finals!
I lost the next match 1-2 and got $21 for third place and $5 for last lady (which they paid me about an hour before, lol).
It was cool to play so well in front of strangers.  Everyone told both of us how well I played.  It was cool.  :)
