Before leaving for Vegas, I made a special appearance at Samm Diep‘s Player Appreciation Extravaganza at Felt to help her kick off the pool season.

Once again, we did our photo contest for find the best two, most original and creative photos with me. We found a couple winners.

Congratulations to Sisco and Jeff! For taking the two best photos with me, you win 25 bucks in PoolDawg Dough. Enjoy!!!

Congrats to Sisco!

Congrats to Jeff!

 

Back on the Road (Finally)!!

On August 16, 2011, in Frank's Adventures, by Frank T. Dawg

It’s been a really quiet year for old Frank T. Dawg. With the retirement of my previous handler and with Samm busy starting up her new pool league, I’ve been spending a lot more time doing my best Han Solo frozen in carbonite imitation. Thankfully, August is here, which means I’ll be hanging out with Keven, Mike, Brent, Dave, Alexis and about 10,000 pool players out in Vegas for a couple weeks. That’s right, it’s time for APA Nationals!

Being a bit of an APA nationals veteran (this is my 6th trip to nationals), I know exactly what I need to bring with me to keep me going through the entire event:

  • Piles of PoolDawg stickers? Check.
  • 6 Cases of PoolDawg chalk to give away? Check.
  • A pallet of pool cues, cases and accessories? Check.
  • Bottle of acetaminophen?  Check.
  • Giant box of Berry flavored 5 hour crack?  Check.
I’m outta here today since it takes the crew two days to set up our booth and front all the product (yes, we’ll have a ton of stuff for sale at the booth).  If you’re going to nationals, be sure to stop by the PoolDawg booth and say hi to your old pal Frank.

10 Places Samm’s Taken me for Chow

On August 15, 2011, in Frank's Adventures, Frank's Pix, by Frank T. Dawg

Since my handler Samm is hosting this month’s PoolSynergy, I had a slight obligation to contribute. I guess it’s only appropriate that I write about food since we both love it so much. So, this is a list of ten random places Samm has taken me to eat throughout our adventures, in no particular order. (Some were a little nicer than others.)

 

  1. Tom Colicchio’s Craftsteak (Las Vegas, Nevada)
  2. In-N-Out Burger (Las Vegas, Nevada)
  3. Chick-fil-A (Northeast Colorado)
  4. Legends at the Horseshoe Hotel & Casino (Elizabeth, Indiana)
  5. Hilton Hotel Buffet (Las Vegas, Nevada)
  6. The Beef Jerky Store (Las Vegas, Nevada)
  7. Todai Sushi (Las Vegas, Nevada)
  8. Rib City BBQ (somewhere in Western Colorado)
  9. Pat’s (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
  10. Geno’s (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)

Mmmm… Now, I’m hungry!
