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 :)

I've met up with daniel_the_smith and spent some time talking with TMark, John Fairbairn, and smartgo this afternoon. I hope to meet up with more L19'ers as the week goes by.

He was here for a few hours on Monday to do some business, but he is not attending the congress, so he doesn't carry a badge. I don't think he will be back.

Bummer, I was hoping to meet him.

Judicata, Tofu, Chew-- who/where are you guys?
