is it naive or arrogant to assume that we here at billiardsburg are effecting change in the 11211? sure! but who cares? let's delude ourselves for a moment...

last night ms. lu and i visited The Gutter for the first time together (don't worry, you won't be seeing a 'bowliardsburg.com' anytime soon) and it was fun, but we both agreed that we prefer our balls to be small and manageable, and in numbers no fewer than ten (don't expect the billiardsburg 9-ball tourney anytime soon). it was early in the evening and we knew that the parlor of our beloved Supreme Trading would be empty, so we walked east.
 
when we arrived it was almost as if they expected us. all the balls were racked and ready, and a mess of more than a dozen gorgeously refurbished cue sticks--ARRANGED BY WEIGHT--were sprawled out across the table. a quick check affirmed that all the cues were perfectly straight and retipped. this is why we pay $1.25 per game.
 
other changes we've noted since the launch of this site:
 
East River Bar's new table.
 
The repositioning of Zabloski's table.
 
New felt at Barcade, Alligator Lounge, and most recently, Redd's.
 
of course, karol and i do have lives and, despite our raging alcoholism, we aren't able to make it out to each bar every week. so if your local joint has done something notable to its table, please let us know.
