We’re back in Hotlanta after finishing up with the Pacific Coast Classic this weekend and the tall lady finally has her computer up and running again. Better late than never, but we’ve got lots of pictures from the WPBA 2008 Carolina Classic.

As always, Debbie introduced be to just about everyone she could, so I got to meet a bunch more players and fans. The highlight though had to be meeting WPBA legend Allison Fisher. Check me out hanging with Allison Fisher and Sarah Rousey!

Anyway, you can check out the entire photoset with all the fans as well as pros like Kelly Fisher, Morgan Steinman, Megan Minerich, Melissa Herndon and Stacy Hurst.

Back later with pictures from the Pacific Coast Classic.

Licking Our Wounds

Well, the Carolina Classic is over, so we’re putting it behind us. We’re back in Atlanta now and the tall lady is already hitting the tables harder than ever to get ready for our trip to Oregon in a couple weeks. Just to give you a recap, the tall lady started out against Liz Lovely, took a 5-2 lead but ended up dropping the match 9-6. That Liz is a really nice kid and damn can she play!

After getting pushed over to the one loss side, Debbie took down Irene Henry 9-4, but this just wasn’t her tournament as she lost her third match 9-5 to WPBA vet Kim White. Even though the tournament didn’t go too well for the tall lady, we had a blast meeting the fans.

Next up we’ll probably be over at Stroker’s in Palm Harbor for the Spirit Tour Stop, then its off to Lincoln City Oregon for the Pacific Coast Classic. This is my favorite event of the year, since we get to hang with APAers too (there’s an APA side by side going on at the event)! Plus, I heard that Mike the marketing guy will be heading down which means we’re pretty much assured to get another walk of shame as Debbie and I drink him under the table.

Be sure to check back later this week since the tall lady promised to put up pictures from the Carolina Classic!

Back to Her Winning Ways

It looks like our girl Debbie is back on track. This morning she posted a 9-4 win over Irene Henry. Next up is Kim White who’s coming off a 9-2 defeat at the hands of Karen Corr. Good luck Debbie!

2008 Carolina Classic Day 2

Frank here, reporting to you again from Durham North Carolina, where I’m doing my best to cheer on the tall lady as she battles through the one loss side of the bracket. In a couple hours she’ll be going up against Irene Henry and if she wins she’ll be taking on Kim White.

Lots of my friends who I met at the US Open are playing in this event too. Sarah Rousey, Helena Thornfeldt, Monica Webb, Ga Young Kim, Kelly Fisher, Jasmin and Xiao Ting Pan are all still on the winner’s side, working their way through the tournament.

Debbie and I will be bringing you updates later today, so be sure to check back. I know that the tall lady is going to take lots of pictures too, so after the tournament we’ll be sure to get them up on the blog!

Tough Start for the Tall Lady

10AM matches and Debbie don’t seem to get along very well, as my handler and alltime favorite WPBAer Debbie Schjodt lost a tough match 9-6 to Liz Lovely who just came off winning the World Junior 10 Ball Championship. Some bad breaks, a few bad rolls and a 5-2 lead can turn around on you pretty quick. Next up for the tall lady is the loser of the Helena Thornfeldt/Irene Henry match.
