Again, I'm not able to attend the US Go Congress this year, but if anybody that's participating is also checking the forum while they're there, I'd be happy if you left any notes, anecdotes, or amusing events that you've observed during your stay. :-)

In other words, let me know if anything cool happens.

Oh, and have fun!

The organizers and pro T-shirts are blue and the mugs are black.
Photos are probably coming to this thread.

I met xed_over, and (KGS) coherence and Mef. :)

the blue shirts are really nice

US Open starts tomorrow 9am PT -- top boards will be broadcast on KGS (I'll be relaying one of the tables). Look for USGO[1-10] accounts throughout the day.

Sounds like it's a blast. I am somewhat sad that I've missed the event. Although, family time is important to me to, so I guess there's not much I would have been willing to do about it. :-)

I got to play Ed. Now I just need to track the rest of you forumgoers, so I can get a game, a beer, or both. Got to meet mef and tmark. Good times, and it's not even Texas heat!

Met Chew. Having a blast. Now to meet you others and do some self-paired games! i will post some pictures at some point.

Tofu: I am the 3k Will B. Hope to meet you tomorrow!

Ed: that Matt, if I am not mistaken, lost this morning. So, congratulations on the win! Also, he and I won a late-night rengo. Good stuff.

Played 6 games today. Recorded half. 4-2, but only 2-2 on rated. If anyone wants to find me at congress, I have the obviously-dyed red hair. I will give any forum-goer either a game or a beer. Look forwards to meeting everyone!

It didn't work out for me to make it this year. This week is going to be tough since everyday I will see what I am missing.

Ed: I hope you have a good enough time so that you show up to future congresses that aren't in Santa Barbara :)
