Der_Echte in NYC first time in YEARS this Weekend...

You read it right. I intend to be in NYC this weekend whether @UpsidedownCarl crackhouse #13 floor is available for quarters or not.

Intend to visit some clubs and make trouble. Korean east coast tourney in effect, mayby go there to heckle and jeckle too.

Which clubs should I stop by everyone? Who wants in on the action? Usually we hitup NYISC and some others, but this is open invitation.

I reached out to OSPH to make sure he knew. Also asked if he could contact 42andBackPains.

I played at a PingPod once. I think it was nice, convenient, fun. But I am not sure it would be conducive to the kind of hijinks Der likes to create when he gets people from the club to play doubles with the Krew he rolls in with and tries to get the whole club involved in the hijinks.

Hello Der, Carl, Goons, TrobleMakers and TTDers!

Thank you Carl for the headsup!

Der, I let 42andbackpains know already.

i have not checked out any PingPod locations. I did drive past one on the corner of Allen and Hester Streets near Manhattan's Chinatown. From the outside looking in, it was a little cramped per table/pod as well as having low ceilings. Controlled practice with a few steps to the left and to the right should be ok, but any more steps you run into the glass wall on one side and into the wall on the other. And no lobbing please.

Robert Chen opened a new club. Not sure where though. I believe you already know though.

I work Saturdays now in lower Manhattan. May be able to go afterwards to NYISC or Korean Flushing club if you go. Not sure if 42abp can make it.

Hoping we can meet up this weekend.

That's true. The 37th Street location has more room and higher ceilings, especially table 1.

This is the location and table I played on when I went to a PingPod. But it seemed like everyone who was there was there separately and just enjoying being with their friends rather than being like a club scenario.

Still, if anyone can make a fun situation about that, Der_Echte could.

Landed in NYC. My lodging close to Korean Flushing TTC. I will be there from 5 pm or so NYC time today, Friday.

Might hop to another club, maybe not. Prolly stay to not confuse everyone.

Saturday has a lot of options, maybe Han In or Lilly Yip or R. Chen or Nissons or some or all.

Gunna bring a 24 pk to the Korean club owner and see how he reacts to free beerz.

Day 1 in the books. Played 5 hrs. Saw 2200 Boston Korean tt boss Jay Lee. Lost second match 1-3 with close scores couple decent games.

Won vs their two in house top players made a good show lots of fun and trouble...

Met a few old friends made some new ones. Pic with one of them...with Jay Lee.

Not sure why the photos are not showing in the posts. When I hit reply, I can see them. But when I post the reply, they don't show up in my post either.
