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.

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.
