I vaguely decided it would be fun to go since
I've never been to St. Louis and I was not
disappointed.
I'd like to thank Sarah, Stan, and James from Depauw
for graciously being willing to play with me and not
being annoyed, even when my almost-bearable 20 negs in
8 prelim rounds was equalled by 20 more in the 5
playoff rounds.
I'd like to thank WUAT for
running an incredibly fine, well-oiled tournament. I'd
also like to thank them for their even more enjoyable
running of extracurriculars. I would go to St. Louis
again just for more of that.
I'd like to thank
Roger Bhan for writing and editing a fine set, for
mocking me in a question inserted into my packet as I
well deserve, and for not writing another bonus
reflecting his expertise with his own genitalia as he did
for the Chicago Open (or if he did, it never got that
far).
