We had a blast. And planning a return trip next year. Jesse was on fire!

Happy, Happy Birthday, Amy!

And Alex, wow -- happy 21st!

The tournament is over, and, you guys, SO much fun. And I say this having ranked WAY near the bottom. (Setting a baseline!) My compatriots on the other hand -- 👌. Impressive.

I will be lobbying for anyone who even has an inkling they might go next year to just say, "Yes!" Fun event, but low-key as far as competitions go, very friendly crossword nerds, really good restaurants literally across the street from the hotel, Buffistas, some of their cool friends... I'm just saying.
