Anyone attending Go Congress?

Post by jeromie »

They recently announced that the 2022 Go Congress will be held in person at Estes Park, CO. Is anyone on here planning to attend? I live nearby, so I’ll likely attend at least part of the week. I’d love to meet some of the folks I’ve only known online while I’m there.

Round trip flights from here in southern California to Denver International Airport are reasonable: currently under 400 USD for a randomly chosen Saturday in August through a Sunday eight days later.

What kind of ground transportation is available to get a traveling go player from the airport to the Congress site, and back?

They’ve got some information about shuttles between the airport and Estes Park on the Go Congress web site. If you’re not going to rent a car, that looks like the most reasonable option.

The US Go Congress is only a week away!

I’m going to ask again who is going to be there. I’d love to meet some L19 folks in person, and perhaps play a game together.

I was initially planning to commute from my home each day (about an hour away), but ended up getting a spot on-site at the last minute. That should make it easier to get together with anyone who is there outside of the main event times.

I'll be there. It has been quite a few years since I was at a go congress, so I'm looking forward to it very much!

I'm sorry to say that I won't be going.

A combination of doctor's appointments and apprehension of unpredictable hot weather leads me to stay here in southern California.

I wish all of you guys the best.

The e-journal just sent and update and noted that they put photos on Twitter. Looks like plenty of players made it and most are being safe or courteous.

Ryan Li is there, playing Simuls, it seems.

Looks fun.
