Social Billiards Mixer in Mountain View. All Skill levels ar...
Where: Shoreline Billiards
Date: 2007-07-21 19:00:00
Type:
No plans for Sat yet? Please come out & join us for some friendly pool games!! All skill levels are welcome! I am hosting another social pool mixer. As usual, we would be rotating people around the tables every 30-45 minutes. Below is the details. Our event usually has 25-30 people showed up (Please ignore the number of RSVPs on the Upcoming.org as I would be promoting the events via a few channels.) When: Saturday July 21st 7:00pm-10:30pm Location: Shoreline Billiards at 1400 North Shoreline Blvd. #C-1, Mountain View, CA Cost: $15.00/person to be collected when signing in. Ladies will receive a discounted entry fee of $10 for this event. For those who would like to stay & play more pool after the event finished at 10:30pm, Shoreline Billiards offer our group $5 flat fee per person til they close at 2am RSVP: Please email me @ soyeeng@gmail.com by Friday July 20th. I need your FULL name,email address, number of guests (if any) with their names, phone number optional. Although RSVP is not required, it would be helpful to let me know if you plan on coming. I don't have email access after 4pm on Sat, so if you do decide to join us the last minute, please simply show up. How we'll find each other: Ask for Shirley's or BAPBSC's group How it works: 1. I would rotate people around tables every 40-45 minutes. Table assignment is random, though I would make my best effort to make sure a good gender mix per table. If you got rotated to a table that you have already played with 2 out of 3 players TWICE, please let me know, I would try my best to switch table for you. 2. I would try to have 4 people per table. 3. Since we would be rotating, it's less confusing if everyone plays the same rules. Game rules can be emailed if requested & is available on the event date. 4. When table assignment has announced, everyone has to move to their next assigned table even if you "think" you are almost done with the game, since it's impossible for every table to finish at the same time, that way it won't slow down the table rotation for everyone. 5. If you need to leave early, please let me know 10 min before you actually leave, so I would leave your name out for next rotation. To be notified with our future pool events, go to yahoo.com, then go to "group", search for BAPBSC (Stands for Bay Area Pool, Billiards, Snooker Club), then select to join/ subscribe to the club. It is FREE to join. IMPORTANT: If you don't have Yahoo ID, please email me at soyeeng@gmail.com with your email address, I would manually add you as member. I look forward to seeing you all again then. Shirley

from the web site: MARK LANEGAN & GREG DULLI RETURN TO SUB POP AS THE GUTTER TWINS Highly Anticipated Gutter Twins Record Saturnalia Scheduled for March 4th, 2008 Worldwide Release Special Pre-Record Release Performances Scheduled for New York, Paris, London, Amsterdam and San Francisco SEATTLE, WA - Sub Pop veterans Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan return to the label in its 20th year under the moniker The Gutter Twins for the March 4th, 2008 worldwide release of Saturnalia, their highly anticipated first album. In addition, the band has announced a handful of very special US and European show dates to preview the complex and carefully crafted songs in advance of the official record release. Show dates and on sale information provided below. Mark Lanegan rose to fame as singer for the much loved Seattle band Screaming Trees qnd Greg Dulli as the magnetic leader of the Afghan Whigs. Following the break up of both groups, Lanegan and Dulli went on to achieve significant notice on their own. Lanegan continued to release successful solo albums, as well as create vivid partnerships with the likes of Belle & Sebastian singer Isobel Campbell and Queens of the Stone Age. Dulli, meanwhile, innovatively fused indie, soul and electronic sounds in his post-Whigs ensemble the Twilight Singers, who released their first album, Twilight As Played By The Twilight Singers, in 2000; the most recent Twilight effort, 2006's Powder Burns, proved a crowning achievement, landing on many year-end best lists. The Gutter Twins was born out of a rumor told by Lanegan to a journalist after the two artists began collaborating together in various ways in 2002. What started as a rumor grew into an honest and raw record, and while Saturnalia brings together the driving forces behind '90s favorites, the record does not rest on the sonic laurels of these singer's previous successes. "I couldn't tell you what Saturnalia's theme is, but there's a seeking of transcendence that's new." Greg Dulli explains. "I have never written songs like this before - it's a different temple I'm visiting."
